Personality

Altaally is a young Draenei and due to that, never had to live through what the others have, but she still has complicated feelings regarding the world around her and the other races. Living in a ship for a few years, in complete peace, she still found herself rather shocked by what happened to her people on Draenor and sees Horde and their allies are barbarians, she also was shocked by the crash on Azeroth. Now thinking poorly of the Horde, this young Shaman has found herself at ease with the Alliance races due to their own hatred of the Horde in most cases. Close to Nature, she discovers a new world and founds herself amazed by it and her hate of the Legion only grows harsher now that she found something to protect from It.

History

Altaallly first saw the Light on Draenor in the steppes of Nazgrand. Even though the Draeneis have been on their new planet for hundreds of years a new birth is always big deal and Altaally was treated with care, love and raised so to become part of their new multi-cultural world. As the Legion was preparing to strike again, though, the young Draeneis' life changed in a dramatic way as the Orcs started to fall under the Demons corruption. All the Draeneis know that Nobundo, after the Orc attack has been in close contact with the Elements and started to teach the Exiles his knowledge. Her mother found interest in the spirits and how they could benefit their societyand was one of the few exiles learning the ways of Shamanism. Teaching her daughter with pride, Altaally's mother was glad to see that her child could understand that even the elements needed to be respected and that no power should be ever abused. As the Legion was preparing to strike again, though, the young Draeneis' life changed in a dramatic way as the Orcs started to fall under the Demons corruption.

Part of the refugees making their way to the marshes north of their main city, Shattrah, the young Shaman's training allowed her to fit with the sudden need for experts of nature in order to insure the Draeneis survival before they found their way to escape the now hostile land of Draenor by the boarding of the Exodar and her people's departure for yet another world. Though, as the elves sabotaged the ship's engine before they could leave and yet again, Altaally found herself in a dangerous situation. The shaman never really got the hang of sacrifice even though many of her people stood in Shattrah in order for them to be safe but this was until her mother used her powers to shield her child with elements and protect her during the few seconds it took for them to realize what was coming and keep her from harm.

Only injured emotionally, worked with the few survivors of the Crash in order to preserve as many Exiles as possible and only allowed herself to mourn her beloved mother after everything possible has been done by the unharmed Draeneis to save the others. Now part of the Alliance after the Night-Elves found their people, broken and left to themselves on Azeroth. As the Burning Crusade started, Altaally was one of the first to enroll within the Alliance's ranks in order to claim back their planet from the savage Demons. Working alongside the Horde, her patience allowed her not to take the Orc's presence as an offense but rather as a way to redeem themselves after what they've done to her kind. Still roaming Outland to this point, she has been left very untouched by the news of the War against the Lich King and the Cataclysm. Fighting against remains of Demons and Corruption in Outland, she uses her powers to take care of the Nature, elements and spirits there.

Skills and Abilities

Borrowing: Altaally has worked with the spirits in order to comprehend them and understand how they work. She is capable of "Borrowing" simple spirits in order to influence their thinking process or see through their eyes. Yet, even if this spell is a good way to scout, check an animal for any injuries, corruption or even to lure it into an action, it is incapable of controlling one action and trying to do so would result in dramatic consequences. Her skill with that one particular spell also allows her to work with the Elementals for they also bear minds of their own. This spell while being useful is extremely dangerous. Getting "Lost" on a borrowing could leave her not to be able to ever go back to her body without help from another Shaman and also, any harm done to her body during the borrowing wouldn't be felt as her spirit left it to go and share another's body.
