=History=

This is the known history of Ralle Stonefeather. Most of this is here for my own reference, which makes the majority of this OOC knowledge.

The First War and the Razing of Stormwind
Ralle Stonefeather has lived a relatively uneventful life. Abandoned on the doorstep of the Stormwind Orphanage as a child, she was always a handful for the staff, constantly running off and hiding from those who would try to find her. People eventually gave up looking for her when she took off, so she began to test her limits and see how long she could trail someone without being discovered. This game of hers is how she survived the razing of Stormwind when she was a mere eight years old.

Thanks to her prodigous talents with sneaking, Ralle was able to avoid capture by the orcs and even raided their stores for food and supplies when necessary. Aside from orcish rations, Ralle mostly survived on the various fruits and vegetables that grew wild in Elwynn Forest, not having the means or knowledge required to hunt and butcher the wildlife. She initially started with the more familiar foods such as apples, grapes, and pumpkins, but she would gradually experiment with different herbs and plants to discover their unique properties and become quite an accomplished alchemist.

A Relatively Monotonous Life
As the years passed, Ralle continued her experimenting, barely taking notice of the shift in power between the Horde and Alliance. She randomly came across the Tower of Azora and raided its library before she even realized that humans had returned to Elwynn Forest. With a stolen collection of tomes for the three basic mage spells -Fireball, Frostbolt, and Arcane Missile- Ralle escaped back into the woods without being noticed, where she took to practicing their contents intensely. Over time, she developed her skills with the school of frost-based magic, coming across a much less efficient version of the Cone of Cold and Blizzard spells, having given up on the schools of fire and arcane.

The Third War and the Worgen
Once the Third War rolled around, Ralle was casting with the skill of a first-year apprentice, though she had been training for five years. She was still fleeing for cover at the sound of every footstep or unusual sound she heard in the forest, though she was making efforts to rejoin humanity by observing townsfolk as they went about their business. With the refugees pouring in from Lordaeron, Ralle found it harder and harder to remain hidden, being pushed farther and farther to the southern edges of the forest. Eventually pressed into what had become known as Duskwood, she took up shelter in an abandoned mine where she came across the legendary artifact known as the Scythe of Elune. It gave her a terrible feeling, so she never touched it during her stay in the area.

Ralle moved on months before the man known as Jitters would pull the Scythe from the mine and unleash the Worgen, taking up residence as far away from Duskwood as possible on the northern shore of Stonecairn Lake. There, she would meet up with and become entangled in a romantic relationship with a refugee from Silverpine. This ended with Ralle contracting the Worgen curse and killing her unnamed lover. Distraught over the death of the first person she ever loved, Ralle tried to commit suicide with an fitting choice of wolfsbane hemlock at sunset. In a stroke of miraculous luck, the poison that the mage ingested turned out to be the proper dosage to prevent a transformation into a worgen, and further experimentation would lead to the development of a medication.

Current Events
Ralle is still testing her treatment by seeking out sources of stress and fear, while also testing her own limits to see how far she is willing to rejoin society. She currently has plans to investigate rumors of a Worgenism outbreak in Silverpine and hopefully perfect her treatment, turning it into an actual cure, a task which would realistically take many years to reach fruition.

=Experiments in Alchemy=

Ralle has been quite active in the field of alchemical research, even incorporating magical energies and merging minerals with herbs. Through this, she was able to develop a number of customized potions and unique herbs.

Ethersight Potion
This is essentially a combination potion that allows one to detect the presence of demons, undead, and the invisible. It has the appearance of a sickly orange liquid, and has greatly limited duration unless applied directly to the eyes. Prolonged usage will gradually dye the user's eyes and could lead to temporary blindness which persists until the user's eyes have had time to recover.

Embroidered Monkshood
A magically-bred strain of the very herb that Ralle attempted to end her life with. It has the appearance of wolfsbane hemlock with veins of truesilver growing through the leaves as part of the plant. The presence of truesilver seems to enhance the anti-worgenism properties of the herb though that could be a result of the placebo effect.

Trueshape Ointment
This is an ointment which, when applied directly to the skin, interferes with polymorph spells. It appears as a clear, light blue gel and prolonged usage will lead to discoloration of the skin, discomfort, and diminished effect.
