Personality

Aroshka is very blunt when talking to people, not above saying things that would offend most people. She is not above challenging someone to a duel of honor if she feels that offended her in some way or another. If she is challenged, however, she will ninety-nine percent of the time turn down the challenge. Only in rare circumstances would she ever accept a challenge from someone. Aroshka has a habit of sharpening and cleaning her weapons whenever she is needing a task to do and nothing is offered. Aroshka does not like to hear how she cannot do something, and will fight every step of the way to prove them wrong. Her education on her culture lacks, but she knows about many other cultures, based on fighting them or reading on their pasts. Since she is always prepared for battle, she reads up on her opponents. She has not ever faced orcs in true, kill or be killed combat, so she knows little of her own self.

History

Aroshka was born into the Bleeding Hollow Clan, her mother immediately passing after her birth due to complications. The main complication was the internment camp's living conditions, as everything was overcrowded due to the humans capturing orcs and keeping them after the war. Her father, who was also in the camp, refused to have anything to do with her, as he wanted a boy to help battle for the clan name. Her "grandfather", an old orc warrior who had lived on Draenor for a long time before its destruction, took care of her where her father would not, culturing her in the orcish ways.

She grew into a fine orc, and when Thrall led breakouts from the internment camps, Aroshka quickly joined among the ranks of the Horde. She worked with her grandfather after her escape, learning the art of blacksmithing. She crafted her first axe, showing it to both her father and grandfather, getting different reactions. Her father was mostly unimpressed, while her grandfather was proud of his young granddaughter. Sadly, he would not live much longer, as he finally passed away from old age.

At his funeral, she heard stories about the old orc that she had not known: How he was a great warrior who fought bravely in many great battles, slaying hundreds of foes. After hearing about this, Aroshka decided that she wanted to be a great warrior like the old orc. Her father grew angry upon hearing this, berating her constantly on everything she tried. One night, she finally had enough. She took her grandfather's helmet from her home, and attempted to leave in the middle of the night. Her father was expecting this, apparently, as he waited by the door to their home. A huge argument occurred, and in the end, she punched him across the face and fled, holding onto the helmet for her life.

She has not returned home, and has instead gone to Outland to reconnect with the world her grandfather spoke of, training her blades to one day prove to her father that she could be a great warrior much like the old orc. During her time in Nagrand, she heard the calling of the spirits. She attempted to resist their call at first, until hearing the spirit of fire. It was an odd feeling for the orc, and hadn't thought of being a Shaman. She wanted to use her axe to carve up her foes, not call upon the spirits. She finally decided to let the spirits aid her, and has begun a new journey to discover the power of shamanism and true self understanding.
