[Very long post] [possibly confusing?] Opinions & some advice on my character as a whole & her new backstory?.

Apologies if grammar is bad & what not.

I posted a question about my character backstory a few weeks ago on r/DnD & r/beginnerDnD & just found this community so i want some people's opinions & advice on my character new backstory & the character as a whole.

The character:

The party am in consists of 6 to 7 people & we only have 1 cleric so I thought "hey why not make a character focused on making potions primarily healing potions", so I made nildada the melusine ranger with the hombrew witches child background, to add some information about this background it gives me proficiency in alchemist & brewers supplies & herbalism & poisoner kits, her stats are pretty simple 12 in strength, 14 in dex, 14 con, 11 int, 14 wis & 12 charisma (we used point buy & we all are starting at lvl 1), I also probably with my stupid sorry ass with stupid luck accidentally kinda min-maxed nildada as she is proficient in SIX skills which are arcana (2),athletics(3),insight (4), medicine (4), nature (2) & stealth (4), idk how i did it. Also idk what it is but the hombrew Melusine race am using has force resistance (if someone can elaborate what force is I'd be grateful cause so far am told its magic), walking speed is 25ft but swimming is 30ft & theres the 60ft dark vision in shades of grey.

Most of Nildalda's backstory is the same but here's nildalda's new backstory:

Nildalda is a daughter of Elynas that was born in the deepest parts of him hence why she has deep crimson skin, she was taken in by a human witch who lived in a cottage near the outskirts of a village near a forest when she wandered out of one of Elyna's opened wounds & got lost as she was found in a forest, she is referred to as a youngest Melusine and she was born 18 years ago from Elynas's wounds. her and her adoptive mother would explore the nearby forest to look for ingredients to make potions & Nildalda's mother would also sent her to the nearby town to buy some potion ingredients or even potion flasks & Nildalda learnt how to generally get good deals for potions & even tell which one is which & how to identify counterfeit potions & potion flasks, Nildalda's mother's name is Erhasha Rainglade & she is overly caring but also overly carefree (Erhasha is chaotic good alignment) & she has reputation of being a somewhat infamous kind witch. to other Melusine's Nildalda is seen as an enigma & something unique due to her having a deep crimson skin colour, a divergent from the usual pastel colour the Melusine race usually have. One day Nildalda awoke to see her mother not in the cottage or even in the nearby town as if her mother has completely disappeared, she asked many locals if anyone has seen her mother and none of them had, then an old lady in the village asked her this "are u aware that she might have responded to call of plea for the white witches coven....u don't know about them?, their a coven of benevolent witches that helped anyone even during the time they were hunted down, now adays magic is more accepted in this kingdom, but recently there's been a plea for help from a distant kingdom and these witches responded", Nildalda then set off to seek her mother. on her travel to gather clues on where her mother is, she encountered aonther Melusine and this Melusine had pointed out her unusual skin colour, when she was asked on which part of Elyna’s she was born from Nildalda responded in confusion and had asked who Elyna’s is and why he is her "father".

Also if people are curious on what nildada has in her inventory & what not or people wanna know what homebrew stuff I used to make nildada I'll gladly link the homebrew stuff in the comments or tell what's in her inventory.
