Arrinia

Name

Arrinia Celaria Whitemist

Fallen Sentinel

Physical Traits

A Kaldorei female stands before you, slightly taller than the average female of her race. Her body appears slim, though she looks everything but frail with her broad shoulders and muscled arms. Multiple scars cover the skin of her arms, the amount giving the impression that more are hiding beneath her clothing. Her skin is extremely pale, and glisters in sun and moonlight, as if covered by a million tiny ice crystals. Should you come into contact, it would feel freezingly cold to the touch. She has one tattoo, which she prefers to keep hidden under her armor at all times. It is a Scourge symbol, perched on her left shoulderblade.

Two large, purple marks cover a large section of her face, which is, unlike the rest of her body, void of scarring. Two glowing blue eyes are in the center of these marks, proof of the immense powers that keep her mobilized. Her facial features are fairly delicate, though quite plain, the most notable thing probably being her full, red lips. Short, silvery white hair frames her face, barely reaching her shoulders. The length seems uneven, the strands obviously not cut off with care.

Her clothing usually consists of simple mail or plate armor, and at rare times leather. A large sword is strapped to her back, enveloped by a dark leather sheath.

Her body language is usually one of suspicion, every step taken carefully, every move calculated. Her eyes constantly dart around, keeping track of everything and everyone around her.

Background

The Beginning

Born into a small family consisting only of her father, mother, an older brother and herself, Arrinia lived through a happy childhood. With her mother being a Priestess of the Temple of the Moon, and her father being a respected Druid, it was needless to say Arrinia had nothing more to wish for, or so it seemed. Despite the wishes of her parents for her to become an initiate of Elune, Arrinia always knew this was not the right path for her to follow. Deep in her heart she wished for nothing more than to become a Sentinel, for she wanted to contribute in keeping the Elven lands safe. But her parents would not concede, and thus with a heavy weight upon her heart, she was sent off to the Temple of the Moon to become familiar with Elune's teachings. Despite her deep respect for Elune, Arrinia never really seemed to fit in the roll of a Priestess. She often snuck away from the Temple to watch the Sentinels while they were training, and was caught doing so countless of times. But despite the punishments handed out to her by several Priestesses, and not to mention being a subject of ridicule by other Novices, she still kept going, so impressed was she by the Sentinels will and strenght. Eventually, after a mere hundred years she was -to her immense relief- told that she would never be fit to become a Priestess of Elune. That relief, however, was short-lived as the thought of how dissapointed her parents would be crept into her mind. She therefore decided not to return home.

Instead she began to chase after her long-lived dream, to become a part of the Sentinel Army. Although this still meant close ties to the Priestesses of the Temple, she now did something she had wanted to do all along, and so she poured heart and soul into it, intend on doing her very best and showing the Priestesses, including High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind, that she too could be of worth. From a headstrong, stubborn youth, she grew into a young woman with a strong will and feel for justification.

When it became evident that Orcs had started taking wood from the Elves beloved forest, Arrinia was more than happy to participate in the hunt for the protection of their lands. When word reached them that Cenarius had been slain, she vowed to herself that every Orc she came across would perish. That hate never ceased.

Third War

When the Third War came upon them, Arrinia gladly aided anywhere she could. Along with several more Sentinels, she was tasked to guard the Human base stationed at Mount Hyjal. When Archimonde showed, and it was evident that the base would be overrun, she was forced to flee, something that still disgusts her after all these years. Despite the big blow to her pride, she met up with the rest of her race and fought valiantly, until Malfurion used the Horn to call forth ancient spirits, destroying Archimonde, but also the World Tree and their immortality. A whole new world opened up for Arrinia. Though she was slightly opposed by the decision of their leaders to join the Alliance, she could see why it was necessary. At this moment Arrinia was about 2000 years of age.

All in all, these events made Arrinia realise there was more to the world than the safe forests of the Kaldorei. She decided that she wanted to see more, so Arrinia left the safety of Ashenvale to travel around Azeroth. A grave mistake, so would be evident later. Although she had always understood that destroying the World Tree had been a neccesary evil, she did not cope well with the fact that she was now a mortal. The mere thought that she was now so fragile, and considered more equal to the rest of the races on Azeroth, repulsed her. Thus, when she came to stumble upon a Death Knight, a mere two years after her leave, she convinced herself that his promises of renewed immortality were genuine, and well meant. It was only when the transformation had been completed, that she realised she had made a fatal error. Her will now no longer her own, she was forced into years of slavery as a Death Knight of the Scourge, slaying men, woman and children alike to sooth her ever present painfull hunger. Amongst her many victims was also her brother, who she was forced to kill to prove her unwavering loyalty.

Aftermath

Through the recent events her will has now been restored to her, and with it comes the unbearable knowledge of all the innocent lives she took, a heavy weight upon her heart.

Criminal Record

Guilty of taking numerous of innocent lives as a Death Knight of the Scourge. No known criminal activity before this period.

Points of note

• Arrinia has a difficult time dealing with emotions, this due to the fact she hasn't used them for years. The immense feelings of regret often are too much for her to take, and easily convert into a more familiar emotion, rage.

• Arrinia is a very nervous person, suspicious of everything and everyone.

• Arrinia never really uses the powers she aquired as a Death Knight anymore, but now relies on her skills with a sword and bow only. Should she on rare occasion (mostly when she's enraged) use her powers, it will only be Frost attacks.

• Arrinia dislikes heat and bright lights, therefore she is usually only seen outside at night.
