Description
An obvious protector, this woman stands at an average height and weight for those who take arms in the front lines. Laden in plate armor, she walks with a clank of her greaves while her weapons are secured on her back or hips. She usually carries two broad weapons, none of which are named. On her right hip hangs a book, much like the Libram of a Paladin, kept with a thick chain that attaches to her armor. Murase’s hair is cut short and kept pushed behind her ears, though her bangs are sometimes untamed and cause her distraction while she attempts to keep them in place. Her face carries a scar across her cheek that stretches from her left ear to the left corner of her lips. Her ears don simple crystal studs that match a thin bracelet that hangs around her right gauntlet.

Personality
Murase keeps to herself and rarely speaks unless spoken to. Instead, she will convey her opinions through actions, since they often leave a bigger impression. Loyal to the laws and her companions, this woman may come across as reserved and stoic, but don’t be offended. Quotes:

Background
Andias Cherlant was not more than a simple handmaiden to the Lady of a Noble home. Taken in at a young age, she felt the need to prove herself useful in order to stay within the walls of the family’s home. She soon became the favorite of the first Lady. It wasn’t because of outward appearance, but more for her speed and ability to multitask. Andias had settled herself as a maid, for the lack of a better term, keeping busy with the everyday needs of the Lady. However, she had taken notice of the Lord’s attention given to her and another servant and soon worked herself into the dangerous position of his mistress. Though the Lord and Lady bore no children during their marriage, four months later is was revealed that Andias had become pregnant during the affair. The Lord cast her from the house in order to secure his reputation and Andias was left to find her own way, though it was less than dramatic.

Outcast
Though she continued into the city where the family was well known, she was offered a job by a local enchanter who asked only that she stay busy and out of sight. She obliged graciously, living in the back of the old man’s store and learning his trade; to the outside world she had merely vanished. Andias delivered a baby after seven months. A small girl who looked startlingly just like her mother. The shopkeeper allowed the two to continue living in the store, giving the mother time to adjust to her new daughter. During this time, however, Andias continued working for the man as much as she could; she also began to teach herself how to make clothing in order to budget for her baby.

The Beginning
The shop had gained a young errand girl five years later. She was tied with a red ribbon around her neck that bore the shop’s logo making deliveries to the customers around Silvermoon. She was also given her own set of sewing needles and an enchanting rod to entertain herself. The girl was named Murase, a name that was graced from the shop keeper’s late wife. The girl was treated as a working family member. She was even taught to cook by her mother. Murase was not fond of books; instead, she wanted to venture around the world and experience things. At the age of ten, she started to dismiss her responsibilities and was often found telling stories to young children of the city outside the gates. She had a broad imagination; however her stories never had endings. During one of her tales, she witnessed the Blood Knights falling into order and riding out toward a battle. She was intrigued and ran home to tell her mother, who was less than thrilled about the idea of her daughter being fascinated with Blood Knights. Andias hired a tutor for her daughter, since the girl was adamant about learning how to handle the gift of magic the others had. It took many sessions for the girl to even get the glimmer of healing on the tips of her fingers. Instead, she would practice as night by pricking her fingers with her sewing needles and attempting to heal them. This ended with her fingers bandaged and sensitive. Instead, she was offered a shield and a chance to stand in on physical training. However, the first push she was given erupted into a fist fight as Murase scratched and punched her partner. Needless to say, she was denied the chance to continue her training as a paladin since she lacked the ‘obedience’ and as her magical abilities were very limited. She was left a two-handed sword and a younger, less experienced, tutor that merely had her continue to attack invisible enemies. She was let loose on the field to kill lynxes and dragon hawk hatchlings, but no real training was given to her.

The Interest
At the age of seventeen (at least, the Elvin equivalent of the age), Murase was introduced to a suitor. He was the son of a long-time customer of the shop, which her mother had almost taken over fully due to the owner’s failing health and age. The man was handsome, yet cold and distant in his personality. Many of their nights together ended in Murase calling him ‘boring’ then leaving. Even through the insults, Andias was persistent to wed her daughter into a house of better standing. The girl continually refused, by eventually was offered an escape. The Scourge had moved closer to Silvermoon, and though she had no formal training, she offered herself to the army. The city inevitably fell, though those who had retreated survived. Murase and her mother had both left the city with their lives, though her mother’s health was beginning to fail. The shopkeeper was never heard of again.

Goodbyes
Andias and Murase attempted to help rebuild the city, though Andias began to lose her sanity due to her withdrawals from the Sunwell. Murase’s withdraws were easily sedated with the use of Blood Thistle. As they continued to help with the effort, Andias soon began to have nightmares of the destruction of her home. The last time Murase saw her alive she had begun to scratch off her skin while crying out that the magic was no longer in her blood. Andias was found dead the next morning; an obvious suicide.

The Outland
Kael’Thas soon returned to gather an army to side with the Alliance. Murase gathered her sword and a few belongings before siding with him and moving forward in her life. She assumed this would allow her to start over…in a way it did. As her people were imprisoned, Murase began carving marks into her thigh to count the times she began reminiscing. However, their Naga allies had freed them and the girl fled behind her Prince to Outland. Once in Outland, Murase received training to use her sword properly. She was not allowed to fight due to her lack of practice, but she was given the means to support herself and offer aid where it was needed. Her knowledge in First Aid greatly improved and she was even considered a non-magical doctor to some thanks to her self-training. As word began to spread about Kael’Thas’s alliance with the Burning Legion, many of Murase’s comrades formed a faction that called themselves the ‘Scryers’. Murase, fearing the memory of her mother, traveled with them to Shattrath City but quietly remained in the back while her fellow Blood Elves pledged themselves to A’dal. She, in time, spoke to him in person and, though she received almost no response, asked for him to give her the chance to prove herself.

Departure
As Lady Liandrin brought word of Kael’Thas’ plan to bring forth Kil’jaeden, many of Murase’s comrades joined the new order of the Shattered Sun Offensive. Murase pledged herself to the effort and returned to Quel’Thalas only to find herself deported to the Isle of Quel’Danas to stand guard among her fellow Elves and their new allies from Outland, the Draenei. Kil’jaeden was pushed back, his reign quickly ended by an army sent from Shattrath and the Shattered Sun Offensive. Upon his end, Murase was allowed to return to her rebuilt home.

The North
Murase was able to settle herself into the city, working odd jobs and venturing out to gather materials for her many projects which, much like her childhood stories, remained unfinished. For two years, the girl matured and made friends around the city. She slowly began to accept the idea of the new ‘allies’ that entered Silvermoon, but she still held a fierce grudge against Trolls for their past actions against her kin. A week before her twenty-second birthday, it was told the Lich King was making a move against Azeroth. As quickly as the news was released, movements were made against him. Murase attempted to join the groups that formed…however her lack of magic proved to bite back. She was dismissed by everyone and left in the city to defend against anything that might come. She constantly received letters from friends and comrades that had gone North to help the movement. She was unfortunate enough to only hear the stories of battles and, eventually, the fall of the Lich King.
