Upon hatching from her egg Lamia found herself entirely alone. Had she had proper access to her hereditary memory at the time she would have realized this was abnormal for her people. None the wiser, she went about her life for the longest time in a feral state. Life was nothing more than finding food, entertaining herself in the down time and survival. 

It wasn't until a man with long silver hair and preternatural silver eyes entered her territory in the mountains that her life as an enlightened creature worthy of being called a dragon began. She would soon come to find that this was no mere man but a creature like herself altered through magic into an inconspicuous form to allow him to walk freely amongst humankind. 

Seeing as this was the first dragon she had ever met and he just happened to be among the ranks of those who were of a good nature, she was taken under his wing. He taught her many things, chief among them, what exactly she was, how to speak the language of common folk and most importantly, how to alter her draconic body into that of a human.
