Larynn



Dr. Larynn Elanthar is a practicing physician, wife, and expecting mother. She is currently serving a tour of duty as a medic in Icecrown.

Biography
Larynn, interestingly, was born a Draenei. Her family barely escaped the clutches of the Burning Legion from their original home in what is now Hellfire Peninsula, and went on the Exodar. She was the only one in her family to survive the crash.

She rebuilt, slowly, on Azuremyst Isle, helping where she could with her knowledge of medicine and formidable skills in the priestly arts. She was of a handful that was sent to Stormwind as envoys of the Draenei. Her first impression of Varian Wrynn was very negative; she found him closed-minded and war-mongering, and at odds with her personal views of extending a hand of friendship and cooperation with the Horde, to focus on their true enemies: the Burning Legion and the Lich King. She held her tongue on this particular subject, however, and went about serving her duties where they were required.

While working out of Booty Bay in Stranglethorn, she met a young warrior of the Darkspears named Zaarkjin. His scant knowledge of Common and her own passing interest in Orcish allowed them to converse -- and, over time, fall in love. They kept their relationship a secret for quite some time, until a mistake with Zaarkjin's magister friend accidentally landed him in the middle of Stormwind several months into their relationship. Larynn desperately tried to keep the guards and irate city-dwellers off him long enough to allow him to escape. Unfortunately, the incident forced her to reveal her relationship with him, and as a result, she was held in prison for over two weeks, and eventually banished.

Furious and heartbroken and suffering from an immense betrayal from the Alliance, all Larynn could do was seek comfort in Zaarkjin. Eventually, he proposed a solution: he knew a friend, a witch doctor in Durotar, who had the ability to transplant a person's thoughts, memories, and essence into a different body. The process was difficult, risky and by no means free, but it would allow her easy access into the Horde, and away from the stigma of a cross-faction love affair. After some thought, she agreed, and was transplanted into the body of a young Blood Elf.

Larynn was astonished at how much more easily she fit in with Horde society. She met and grew a profound respect for the Warchief Thrall, and now serves proudly under the Horde banner as a combat medic. Zaarkjin eventually proposed, and they are presently two months into the pregnancy of their first child together.

Personality
Larynn is impossibly sweet, playful, friendly and virtuous. She gets along with almost everyone she meets, and has a way of charming most anyone into liking her. She can be naive at times, but she makes up for it with her sincere kindness, charity, and excellent baked goods.

Her bubbly personality makes it easy for people to mistake her as stupid. She is in fact quite book smart, an excellent licensed physician who specialized in internal medicine. However, this says nothing of her street smarts -- Larynn can be quite easily manipulated, mislead or fooled.

She firmly believes in the inherent good of everyone.
