Name: Echesii

Race: Draenei.

Class: Hunter

Affiliations: Wolves of Telmor

Appearance and Personality
By any standard Echesii is an average Draenei, sporting the deep blue skin and dark hair that dominates the race. She shares the seemingly timeless quality of the Draenei as well, and the crows feet of middle age have only just begun to mar her otherwise smooth, youthful face. Certainly, the years have slowed the Draenei some, and her knees and hips are particularly prone to arthritic ache during poor weather. Still, she is slim and trim from years of activity, and even appears somewhat underweight in comparison to most Draenei women – sporting slender hips and shoulders.

Her dress is generally plain, tending towards various shades of brown and well worn clothing. Always she wears a floppy, brown hat that is frayed at the edges and stitching. Despite her tendency towards muted colors and lived in clothing she tends towards a timeless fashion for her race, sporting baggy sleeves and leaving her lower legs and hooves unadorned.

Echesii is best characterized as a wanderer; an individual prone more towards an introverted, internal life that she infrequently shares. That is not to say that she isn't a friendly enough person -- and she is, in fact, prone to more open and vivacious behavior when the mood strikes her -- but she frequently comes across as either lost in her own thoughts or, more often, uninterested in what is happening around her. In truth, this is learned behavior stacked upon her natural personality. Having neither family nor a tendency towards extroverted behavior she largely failed to integrate herself in with the other Draenei who fled Argus. It is a prospect that hadn't bothered her until recently, but her failure to truly grasp Common has made her appreciate the companionship of her own people much more.

Echesii's other defining personality trait is her tendency towards slow commitment, but her tenacity when she finally does make make a decision. She is a woman of extreme loyalties and narrow focus nearing the point of obsession. When she sets herself to a task she inevitably commits to taking that focus to as far as her abilities and intelligence will allow. As a result, she leaves few things undone, and is particularly prone to melancholy when something is left unfinished. This makes her a stalwart friend, but also someone who is incapable of ever really dealing with with past losses and rejection. Even to this day, years after their romance ended, she is incapable of dealing with Gheron, a Draenei anchorite, on any reasonable level. Needless to say, it wasn't her decision to end the relationship.

Background
The passage of time is a relatively new concept to many Draenei, and Echesii is no exception. She tends to measure her life in pockets and by events. Before the flight from Argus she was a young Eredar studying the arcane, but in the years that followed the Draenei's flight from their homeworld she took more towards the land of the new worlds upon which her people settled. She enjoyed the solitude and the chance to witness new things, but her increasing distance left her outside of the changes in Draenei society. While she took to the Naaru and The Light well, even folding the new beliefs of her people into her own belief system, those who chose to work with the Light (and who often displayed an ever increasing fanaticism) unsettled her in the extreme. As the years passed the Draenei hopped from planet to planet she became increasingly isolated, even as she surrounded herself with her own people – and Gheron.

It wasn't until she met Gheron that she began to take a look at her place in this new society, and mutely began to reevaluate her place in it. This idea didn't fully mature until the Orcs began their slaughter of the Draenei, and while so many were touched by the loss of family and long friendships Echesii largely realized that she would someday die unmourned, and, even worse, there were few that she would mourn. It was this thought that spurned her towards finding her place amongst the diminished Draenei ranks, eventually settling into command of the Draenei dominated Wolves with a determination to ensure the survival of her people and pay witness to their prosperity on this new world – a prosperity she hoped would include her.
