Born as Victoriana Pavalenco, the caliban known to some as Cake had her own brand of infamy about her. At her birth, her mother died and her father cast her away for her pure silver skin. She was thrown into the streets of the Village Barovia, and left to die. She was luckily rescued by an outlander elf by the name of Filius Elgonwing. He took her to a nearby abandoned Ezrite shrine and attempted to nurse the child back to health. The child would not eat anything, however, no matter how much the man may try. Days past, and the child never wept from hunger, but grew sharp, pointed teeth very quickly. Worried that the child would soon die, despite her evident abnormalities, Filius sought out a doctor who may have been able to heal her. The only one she could find was a young man by the name of Narcansus. His brother had been a caliban that was slain by the garda of Vallaki, and he had his own set of hatred directed towards the discrimination against calibans. He took the child under his wing (a rather amusing pun, if you've the pleasure to have met him recently) and attempted himself to aid her. She still, however, refused to eat anything, until Filius came one day into Narcansus's hospice with a large, fresh honey cake. The child devoured the entire cake quickly, and then spoke as if she was a decade older, saying "That was quite delicious father. Might you have another?" The two men then dubbed the child Cake, as it was all she would ever eat, and began to teach her about the world around them. Narcansus taught her of logic and reasoning, and Filius taught her of the arcane arts, at which she was already marvelous at. The 3 month old child grew swiftly into the body of what could have passed for a 5 year old, and stopped growing completely at that point. But her mind never stopped.
After 10 years, Cake was out adventuring with Filius and Narcansus into fantastic new places, all across the land of mists. Their adventures ranged from the slaying of werewolves, down to the hunting of lost treasure. The three companions were never separated and lived for years like this, without a care in the world and love in their hearts for once another. However, in the land of the mists, nothing is perfect for long.
The last adventure of the trio came a short while after Cake's 16th birthday, and they ventured into the deep forests near what is now the Midway Haven. They had heard of a hag living there, tormenting the travelers and animals nearby. They continued on through the shadowy bracken until they at last came upon the hag's den: a cave that was painted with the blood of her victims. She called out to them, and summoned many minions to fight them, of which the trio slew easily. Between Cake and Filius's magic and Narcansus's intelligence, nothing seemed impossible for them. However, while they were fighting, the hag was able to shoot a poisoned dart into Filius's back, felling him instantly. With the loss of their comrade, Narcansus and Cake became quickly overwhelmed by the demons the hag forced upon them. As the Hag began to cast a wicked curse that was to turn both Narcansus and Cake into her minions, Cake desperately tried to hatch up a plan. She was able to in just the nick of time, as the hag cast her curse. When the spell left her lips, Cake countered it with all her might, stunting her magical power forever by going beyond her boundaries. The hag was cast back and knocked unconscious, her wards having protected her mostly. The curse, however, was almost entirely avoided, apart from a single drawback: Narcansus had been changed from a tall and fair man, to a small, green, winged imp. The two of them tried to find their comrade, but all that remind of him was a pasty ash substance that neither could bear to look upon, and both of them retreated. They ran all the way to Barovia and sealed themselves tight within the very shrine to Ezra where Filius had tried to nurse her. There they awaited for the Hag's fury to subside, and so they waited for one hundred and twenty two years.
