Background

Du Huaning was born into an affluent lifestyle with rich parents; given endless gifts and lines of credit where other children were given chores. Progeny of an Elven mother always out at boutiques, shopping malls, high society parties and a Human father always out at business meetings for some electronics corp, at the golf club, or taking his prize wife out to dinner parties to rub shoulders with the social elite.

Du Huaning attended the very best schools, and had friends from all the very best families - her spare time was spent exploring new ways of spending money, gossiping with friends, and keeping fit (athletics, netball, and even the odd bit of self-defence class thrown in for good measure).

In the days approaching her 19th birthday she was planning a late night out with friends, and was curious as to the exact time of her own birth - and so began digging through her mother's things. She came across all sorts of old papers, photographs, and got carried away with her search, even after she found her birth certificate records. It was during her searching that she came upon a locked set of files. It took her some time, but the locks were so old, that they weren't too hard to work around, and the contents shocked her. The contents seemed to insinuate that for several months before Du Huaning's birth, her mother had spent a lot of time visiting a bar in the wrong end of town. Journal entries stated how much fun she was having at this place where no-one knew who she was, how liberating it was to not have to try to play the role she normally had to in high society. Intrigued at this part of her mother's life - that she had not known about, she decided to investigate further.

Several days later, after giving her bodyguards the slip, she started poking around this rougher part of town. Asking questions here and there, showing old photos of her mother, she finally was directed to an elderly woman who seemed to recall this bright young elven woman who breezed into the bar one night and after a few weeks ended up dating a local guy, then suddenly several months later, disappearing as suddenly as she had turned up. The guy searched high and low for her, but unable to find her he had confided in the old woman about how this strange exotic woman had come to him one last time, telling him that she was pregnant, but that they couldn't stay together, that she was foolish to have tried in the first place, and then ran out on him. The elderly woman, back then, had told the man that these were probably lies and excuses, and it had helped the man get over it all.

Hearing this tale, Du Huaning could not help but dwell on the issue, pondering if indeed her mother was pregnant by this man, and what had happened to the baby. But looking at the dates, this baby could not have been born. it must have been a lie, and her mother soon got pregnant with her father.
