Aewyn Sunfire

Aewyn Ath'aldy Sunfire


= History = Childhood Aewyn grew up in a noble family, known as the House of Sunfire. Her Father and Mother were skilled Mage's. They had four children, three boys, and Aewyn being the youngest of them. Her father was an honest man and very intelligent. Her mother had certain expectations of Aewyn since being the only daughter of the Sunfire family. Strict rules were applied to all four of the children, making their studies of magic come first. They had little to no social life outside of their family, as most nobles tended to think as themeselves, "too good" for commoners. When the children were able to break from their daily studies, they would often play rough and use sticks as pretend weapons. Aewyn's mother would often scold her and sometimes abuse her for participating in such boyish behavior. In her mothers eyes, Aewyn was often lacking and disappointing her expectations of attempting to raise "the perfect daughter". Aewyn was often spoiled by her father and this would cause chaos amongst the family.

Young Adult When Aewyn and her brothers became of adult age, her older brother joined the Farstriders. This was greatly admired among the family and seemed to be a true noble decision. Aewyn looked up to him for making such a decision. Her other brothers became something as well. One a Knight and the other a studious Mage. At this time, Aewyn had not accomplished anything great she thought, other than loafing around in gorgeous gowns. She would often accompany the Sunfire's maids when they needed to make trips to the Bazaar in Silvermoon City. Aewyn saw this as a way to get a glimpse of freedom from her constricted lifestyle. She had met a bandit, (or rogue, as some called him) and fallen deeply in love with him for the first time. She managed to hide their relationship from the Sunfires for at least 3 months. Over time she had become brave enough to sneak out on her own, mostly during the night to meet the bandit. Aewyn's mother was becoming frustrated at the fact her daughter was not wed. Her mother and father had arranged a wedding for Aewyn, to what Aewyn refers to, as a snobby "moma's boy". After many nights of yelling and fussing, Aewyn decided inform her secret lover of the wedding. They both came to the decision it was time for Aewyn to leave the House of Sunfire for good. One night, the bandit had rallied up friends, and other bandits to cause a ruckus at the Sunfire's estate. Aewyn was to make her escape amongst the chaos and meet her lover outside the gates of Silvermoon. She did so, only to realize that the chaos had calmed down, and none of the bandits, including her loved one, appeared. She had a good idea of what became of them, but she decided to keep her word, and ran away from Eversong Woods.

Scourge Invasion At least a month had passed, and Aewyn was hiding out among humans in Stormwind. She had noticed a tension between her and the humans, almost as if the two races were no longer allies. Situations became so bad that she would often hide her ears under a hat in an attempt to look and act human. Eventually, a rumor had reached her about the fall of Quel'thalas.. and talk of "Blood Elves", Scourge, and complete carnage. Aewyn realized overtime that these were more than rumors. The humans were becoming even more hostile, so she decided to return to Silvermoon. Once arriving home again, Aewyn saw what was left of Silvermoon, and its now devastating state. She had learned that her people did not refer to themeselves as High Elves any longer. The bodies of her mother and father were identified; they were murdered by the Scourge. Her brothers were never found, and Aewyn refused to believe that they were dead. Time had passed and Aewyn, along with what remained of the elves were becoming ill due to lack of magic. Their beloved Sunwell had been destroyed, causing what remained of the elves to become dangerously ill, and possibly die. A "cure" was found for the elves, though not an ideal one. Aewyn became stronger again by using fel magic, as did the other elves. One morning, Aewyn had looked herself in the mirror and saw the terrifying effects of her fel magic use. She cried for hours when seeing that her once beautiful blue eyes, had turned an eerie jade color.

Joining the Horde The Blood Elves had merged with the Horde with the help of Sylvannas. Aewyn thought this to be a relief. The Elves were hated by the humans of the Alliance, though she never could figure out why. She felt it to be safe and secure when the joining of the Horde was official. Some Elves were still skeptical of this decision, but not Aewyn. She did find it strange, these other races of the horde. They were different in so many ways, yet they all had something in common. The military of the Blood Elves, the Blood Knights, had grown in great numbers. Aewyn had decided to join the ranks, and finally make something of herself.

Present Day Today, Aewyn still carries the last name, "Sunfire", and still hopes that her missing brothers are alive somewhere. She is an initiate among the Blood Knights and is currently undergoing intense training to become stronger. She wishes to learn more about the ways of the Light.
