Born to a commune of Elves who lived in dedication to Mielikki deep in the High Forest. Though she has birth parents, Zurine was raised by a village more or less and regarded the other Elves of the commune as parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, family. When she was (the equivalent of) age 10, during a worship session at the temple, Zurine was possessed by an avatar of Mielikki. The Avatar, through Zurine, proclaimed her to be a Chosen of Mielikki and of a great destiny surrounding Zurine. It stated that Zurine had descended from the holy Unicorns of Mielikki and now her Unicorn blood would be apparent. When the Avatar departed, there was a vibrant flash of light. When it dimmed, the other Elves were amazed to find that Zurine now had a Unicorn horn upon her forehead. The temple elders took Zurine into their direct care and began instructing her on cleric magic and Mielikki's religious rites. After the possession by the Avatar, Zurine had acquired immense powers of the light cleric domain. Zurine threw herself completely and totally into her training. When Zurine was (the equivalent of) age 21 once again possessed by the Avatar, it declared that it was time for Zurine to leave the commune and seek her destiny. After a tearful good bye, Zurine left her home and began to wander Faerun. She sought to help people, uphold Mielikki's teachings, and to find whatever mysterious destiny she had been raised for. A few years later, her wandering brought her to Baldur's Gate and she had only been there for a day or two when the mind flayers abducted her.
