Ariawyen

Appearance
Dark, long lashes outline her almond shaped eyes that glow a bright shade of emerald. Long, curly blonde hair hangs down past her shoulders, framing her thin pale face. Her lips are just short of full, and colored a light pink color.

She has a small nose and high cheekbones, a fairly typical feature. Her body is thin and lithe, though she is a bit on the short end of an average height for a Sin'Dorei female.

She has a large pearl white scar cutting across her upper left arm to nearly the middle of her shoulder, if you’re lucky enough to see it.

Background
Ariawyen lived her whole life in Silvermoon, passing her childhood with a close friend named Moryiana. Ariawyen’s mother was a priestess and brought up her daughter to follow in her path, but Moryiana was fascinated by shadow magic and demonology. Although the two friends knew they would take separate paths in life, Ariawyen promised her friend that she would practice shadow magic with Moryiana so they would never be separated completely.

When the Scourge attacked Silvermoon, Ariawyen and Moryiana stayed by each other’s sides in the rush to escape, but they eventually fell behind towards the back of the panicking crowd. They continued their escape, but caught the eye of a skeletal warrior who began making his way toward them. The girls could not outrun such a horror and he caught up to them easily. Ariawyen pushed Moryiana behind her, prepared to die for her dearest friend. She watched in fear as his cold steel blade swung towards her, but at the last second Moryiana pulled Ariawyen away so she only suffered a deep cut across her upper left arm. Ariawyen lost her balance and fell to the ground, helpless as she watched the undead horror plunge his sword into Moryiana’s chest. She caught her friend as she fell to the ground and held her as she breathed her last, not even noticing the soldiers who had made it to them in time to cut down the skeleton before it claimed Ariawyen as well.

Ariawyen escaped that day along with her family, but she could find no joy in that fact. She wished she had been the one who died that day, a wish she never forgets. While her people were in agony of the loss of the Sunwell, Ariawyen thrived on the pain it gave her. For her at that moment, it was the only thing keeping her aware and alive. She managed to make it through the pain, determined to keep her promise to Moryiana and was eager to siphon the magic she needed from creatures in order to keep surviving. Once Silvermoon was rebuilt, she kept her promise to Moryiana and began studying shadow magic seriously, yet still studying holy magic on the side.

Ariawyen barely managed to survive the recent plague attack as it ravaged the world by keeping behind the lines of defense in Silvermoon at its early stages. Though she became infected and nearly died, by a large amount of luck Ariawyen was saved by an unnamed Argent Healer. A few months after the plague had been dissipated and she was finally healed completely, Ariawyen vowed to do whatever she could against the Scourge and began looking for a way to lend her aid.
