Bella Swiftclaw

Still in the process.

Appearence
Anyone who knows Bella knows that she is a druid, and she spends a lot of time in her feline form. In this form, her fur is a dark blue, with streaks of silver in it. Her coat is also very soft to the touch, but she doesn't like anyone laying a hand on her. Although large, she is very agile, swift, and stealthy. She is very muscular in a beautiful feminine sort of way. The only would be flaw, if not gorgeous in it's own way, would be her cloudy orange-yellow eyes, for she is blind.

In her elven form, she is just as beautiful. Her skin is a pale blue that matches her blue hair, the same color as her coat in feline form. Though in elven form, she very much still resembles a cat. Her nose is broad like one and her ears are a bit shorter and twitch to the slightest sound. Even her amber eyes resemble that of a cat, although in this form she prefers to keep a black band around them.

She is short for her race, a few inches over 6 feet, and her blue hair is short, above her shoulders. She has many scars from her 10,000 years of life, but almost most of them she had gotten recently. Her armor is a dark red with black, and she almost never takes it off. If she does though, she is seen wearing an elegant white dress, made by a tailor in Darnassus.

Personality
Bella used to be very kind, and didn't consider herself with the Alliance. She was neautral. She sought to give aid to anyone who needed it, Horde or Alliance. She considers herself to be wise with her old age, but she doesn't show it off and acts like she's better and smarter than others. But due to recent events, she is a bit more quiet and hotheaded. She is still kind, but not as kind and has very little patience now. She doesn't deal with the Horde now unless they are Tauren or if Thrall were to come back as war chief.

She is very protective of anything nature and will almost always be where there are trees and a pond.

History
Bella was born in Ara-Hinam, a city no longer in existent. She had the typical parents, a father who was a druid and a mother who was a priestess. The family took their name after her father, Bearclaw. At first she began to take the path of a priestess, but she was more interested in what her father did. She was one of the rare females to go to the path of the druid.

At the age of 79 though, the burning legion came. She and her mother watched as her father was decapitated by a felguard. They looked away from the sight and cried, but there would be time to shed tears later. They had to get across to another building. Bella had went first and got across safely, but when she turned around she saw her mother of a felhunter on top of her. Her mother screamed for Bella to go, and she did as she was told. She ran until she joined up with other survivors of the city, including her father's friend Savo.

A time after the invasion Savo took after Bella's father and continued to teach her, at it would be hard to find someone to teach a female at this time. Only her and a handful of females were activley apart of the Emeral Dream and experienced druids.

After the Third War female druids were becoming more common and she eventually joined the Cenarion Circle. She was neutral with both Horde and Alliance, even having a good Tauren druid friend whose where about are unknown now.

But an event had occured that caused to change how she thinks and acts. She was in Ashenvale stalking a group of orcs. The one she had her eye on was their chief, a big and brawny orc. She was in her feline form at the time, and she was behind a bush. She made the mistake of looking away and before she knew she had fallen victim to her own prey. The orc slammed her into a tree and she blacked out.

When she awoken she had a tight fitting metal collar around her neck. Outraged she bit at the neck of the nearest orc, killing him instantly. The orcs reacted to this, apparently expecting it, and they had a container of some vile substance. They threw it with great aim into Bella's eyes, blinding her for life. Her eyes felt as if they were on fire and she roared out. She heard the orcs laughing.

Time went on, and the collar kept her in her feline form. She was forced as a hunting per, for she had great strength. Although blind, she became acustomed to it and was still a great threat to anyone in her path. They starved her, mistreated her, and beat her. There was one nice orc who she began to like because he snuck her a few scraps here and there.

Eventually she was rescued by her best friend, a dranei named Zaria who hadn't seen Bella in a long time. At first Bella turned on Zaria but then fought along side her to kill the orcs. She didn't know who her rescuer was of course until after Zaria spoke to her. It took a while to get the collar removed, and an even longer time for her to learn how to change out of her cat form. But even after that, she now prefers to stay in her feline form at all times. Even in her elven form, she still is very feral. Because of these events she despises orcs and the Horde except for Taurens.

Cataclysm and Present
Though blind, she hasn't faltered as a druid. Her antlers were cut off when captured by the orcs and are growing back slowly. She's spent most of her time trying to heal the land and fight off the enemies. When not busy, she can be found by the pond in her white dress, writing in a journal. Her hand writing is sloppy with no sight but she still enjoys it.

She is often found with a male human, who she has taken a great liking to and is her best friend, even more. If not with him she is found with her dranei friend.

Extra
Just a few extra things.

Mounts
Bella has three mounts which she uses.

Zefarian: He is a black drake with a hot temper. Bella had found him in the forest, half dead. He was young. She didn't have the heart to slay him or let him suffer, as she knows what suffering is. It took a great effort but she got his trust and was able to heal him and he took a liking to her. At first it was just talking and spending time together. But he let her ride her one day when a couple of black drakes were coming their way and they had to escape.

Zeit: He is a time lost drake. These drakes are very hard to find and when they are found, are usually forced into slavery as a mount. Bella came across him while traveling to the Argent Grounds. She heard the roars and the yelling of an orc. Following the sound she flew down. She went cat form and ripped out the orcs throat. The drake was not injured so she left him be, about to fly off. But he roared. They communicated telepathically and from what she found out he was blind as well. He felt he owed Bella a debt and they grew a special connection.

Sari: A winterspring frost saber. Bella had gotten her when she was a cub, she had never expected to use her as a mount until she had to ride her one day after being out numbered by jungle trolls.

Companion
Bella has a small red proto drake whelp that she obtained from a friend who's drake had eggs. Bella plans on using him as a mount one day when he is big enough. But for now he is just a small little friend who always follows her around.
