After reading your background, I have a proposal for you Thanee. If you like, in exchange for one of your items you can have an enhanced familiar, the dog that befriended your character when she was a child.
I think you read a bit more into that, than I intended.
It was meant to be more of a positive first reaction of the dog, that halted the villagers after the incident; not really a long-lasting "friendship".
Kinda like this...
Child comes to village
Villagers storm out to see whether the child is alright
Child becomes frightened being suddenly harried by so many people
Infernal Howl manifests and now it's the villagers turn to be frightened
Dog enters the scene and instead of barking violently, which would have been expected, he playfully bounces around the child
Villagers calm down and offer the child shelter
This was also meant to show her affinity for animals (wolves especially; dog is at least close to that) that comes from the trait I had rolled up (which I hope you don't mind, since later you said you would do that after the characters are done... when I put it together, I had figured it makes sense to roll that before, because some of them might have some impact on the character and the background).
For similar reasons, I made one minor change to the character... added a rank of Handle Animal, in exchange for 2 points of Concentration.
It would have the same statistics as a small dog from the MM and grant a +3 bonus on Jump checks. This would, of course, replace your raven, which you may prefer, so I'll leave it as an option.
Yep, I think I prefer to leave it as it is. Otherwise I also would have to change quite some things and rewrite parts of the background.
Your magic items are: Quaal's feather token (anchor), scroll of identify*
*You may exchange this item for the enhanced familiar if you wish.
Thanks! Added to character sheet.
Bye
Thanee
