Leonara

= Appearance =

Leonara Starstalker's visage is dark and her footsteps are heavy. She emits a dark aura that causes babies to cry and commoners to run in fear. Much as she tries to appear normal, these things remain a constant, heavy reminded of what she is (or was). Dressing in heavy armor, and wielding large swords with dark runes, Fael has dark grey skin and blackened hair of a Kal'dorei woman long since passed on. The stink of death follows her as much as she might try to hide it.

= Character History =

The Long Vigil of the Sentinels
Leonara was born Leona Starstalker, during the long ten-thousand vigil of the Kaldorei, after the Sundering and the expulsion of the Quel'dorei. She grew up in the Sentinels as a protector of the forest, and linked in the soul to the land through Nordrassil's power. She was immortal, and spent her young and innocent years fighting invaders of Ashenvale and dancing naked with her fellow Sentinels sisters in the moon glades of the forest. She even had a close relationship with another Sentinel, named Mithrehin. That all changed during the War of the Shifting Sands, when Mithrehin began to talk of voices only she could hear, and they broke up. Leona had thought Mith had gone mad!

But then the Burning Legion returned. The Scourge ravaged her homeland. Try as Leona might, she could not hold them back, and fell during the onslaught. At one point Mithrehin reported seeing Leona's reanimated form fighting against the Kaldorei, and specifically put her down.

I Have Become Death
However death itself held no peace for her, as her body was picked up and taken deep into the ranks of the Scourge. There, the Kal'dorei woman's body found itself animated once more, and the voice the Lich King piercing through her thoughts and senses. Clan in plate armor and sword in hand once more, she had become everything she had fought - and died - to stop. She was Scourge.

It had been eight years since that day, and Leona - now called Leona'ra (Leona the Angry) - found herself on the front lines, butchering Scarlets with glee in the plaguelands when she and the other Death Knights were betrayed by Arthas at the Battle of Lights Hope Chapel. Leona flew into a rage, slaying many of her former masters, and reluctantly turned to the living for help. She was not well received by the alliance or even her own people. Spat was upon, jeered at, her life threatened, she found herself the subject of ridicule by those that had lost loved ones to the Scourge.

Sure it was easy for the Forsaken to not appear threatening to their allies, but to a Death Knight... she could never shed herself of the visage of fear and terror that always seemed to surround her. As much as she wished to be normal again, it seemed completely impossible. She threw herself at the mercy of Tyrande and the alliance's King, and in return received their support. She lifted her dark runeblade once more to fight for the alliance - to save lives instead of taking them.

She lived on in death as an instrument of vengeance on Arthas.
