Request [LFA] (repost) Noel Santira, Hexblood Undead Warlock/Oath of Hate Paladin (flavored Oathbreaker)

Being an average human captive from a young age to a coven of Hags who served and worshipped the Goddess of Tyranny, Noel was subject to cruel and relentless punishment and slavery. Noel believed this was her place, as their goddess had willed it. She harbored desire to run away and escape, but never willed herself to do so.

In her early teenage years, the Hags put Noel through the painful transformation process of making her a Hexblood. Despite granting her the slightest bit of magical power, they had their suspicions and truly intended to have a permanent way to surveil Noel.

As Noel was nearing on 20 years old, the coven went on an outing to find a new home in the wilderness, as society was encroaching a little too near upon their homestead. A few dozen strong, the coven unknowingly ventured into a cave harnessing a Lich. Upon being disturbed, the Lich lashed out, killing many of the coven and their servants alike.

Multiple stragglers fled, including both the primary Hag who owned Noel, Iva Grimtooth the Wretched, and one of the few she could call friend amongst the other slaves, an elf man named Arbane Lurel.

Sensing the hatred and wrath that nested itself within Noel, the Lich took an interest in her. He made her an offer she could not refuse: true power and her freedom from the coven for the delivery of knowledge and souls. It was here that Noel forsook her tyrannical goddess, and the Lich, Shaja, would become her Patron, for she would never feel powerless again.
