A drow one.
0-10 years: Drizzt spent this time in House Do'Urden's chapel, being raised by his wean mother Vierna. His sister taught him to talk, walk, how to command his powers, told him about the evil surface elves, and made him clean a lot.
10-16 years: Drizzt had the displeasure of being the House's page prince during this time. His education took the form of learning how to clean and how to keep his eyes on the floor via lots of beatings from Dinin (who was in charge of him, technically) and Briza (who just likes to beat people, but especially males, and especially insolent males like Drizzt).
16-20 years: Drizzt got to hang with Zak in the House's gymnasium. They had awesome combat training and father/son moments.
20-30 years: Drizzt went to Melee-Magthere and beat the pants off everybody, including the older students and masters. Oops?
30 years-running away: Drizzt served a scout in Dinin's patrol group in the tunnels outside the city, and learned during a surface raid that maybe the elves weren't that evil.
Then he grew balls and ran away from home.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
XP Fighting and nature.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
He's pretty shy sometimes, especially around surface towns he doesn't know because everybody's all "AAAAH IT'S A DROW! RUUUUN! KILL IT! AAAAAGH!" because drow are typically evil and scary. So he shies away from rejection.

Going to Melee-Magthere, and becoming jaded toward the drow world and meeting Guenhwyvar.
The surface raid where they killed all the elves.
Obtaining Guenhwyvar.
Losing his father, running away, making friends of other races, being chased by his dad's corpse, losing his dad and friends again.

Fuck Malice, she's a bitch. 8D He loves his Papa Zak though! ♥
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Yup. He hated Briza, she was a bitch. He was indifferent toward Maya, and he got on well with vierna, who kind of adored her little brother... until she tried to seduce him and turn him into a drider. That wasn't his favorite moment ever. Then she tried to kidnap him to sacrifice him to Lloth, and that totally blew things apart for him.

Nope.
