Irithel was abandoned as a child, in the jungle by her parents. Under the guidance of the God of the Jungle, a female smilodon that had just given birth, adopted her. Under the protection of the mother smilodon, the little smilodon Leo and Irithel learned to hunt, survive and adapt - she grew up like an animal. During a territorial fight against a pack of jaguars, the mother smilodon was badly wounded. When Irithel and her "brother" Leo went into town for help, they were referred to as "smilodon children" and were captured by a slave trader. When the cat elf mage - Nana passed by, she couldn't bear to watch them get beaten by the slave trader, so she used her magical strength to save these 2 poor children from the slave trader. With the help of Nana, who was still younger than Irithel, she learned to speak like a human and also learned to fight, using ranged weapons. Irithel seemed to have a special interest in Crossbows. She regularly trained hard in the jungle and managed to master her crossbow, even after several failed attempts, while Leo grew up to be a strong adult smilodon. However, to this day Irithel still hates humankind and trusts only her brotherly friend- Leo.
