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 does not like to hear how she cannot do something, and will fight every step of the way to prove them wrong.

History

Aroshka was born into the Warsong Clan, her mother immediately passing after her birth due to sudden complications. Her father, who had shut down emotionally since the passing of his mate, refused to have anything to do with her. Her "grandfather", an old orc who had lived through many hardships, took care of her where her father would not, culturing her in the orcish ways.

She grew into a fine orc, along with Duron, who she felt was like her brother. Despite her ever curious mind, her fiery temper and passion often got her into trouble. She stayed by her grandfather's side whenever she could, learning the rituals of the pyremasters and of the world. She began learning all she could of the noble art; her grandfather growing ever more proud of the girl he had 'adopted' as his granddaughter. Sadly, he would not live to see her fully grown, 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 honor the fallen heroes like her grandfather by becoming a full-fledged pyremaster.

This dream of hers, however, was put on hold as the orcs crossed through the Dark Portal and began to wage war. She was still young, and although she could fight, she instead acted as a medic, tending to the wounds of soldiers to the best of her abilities. After the Dark Portal closed, she was stranded with the rest of her clan in a harsh world she knew nothing about. She was captured along with Duron and sent to an internment camp, and met Lirshar of the Frostwolf clan. Over the time they spent together, the three orcs grew close and a budding romance grew between Duron and Lirshar. Although Aroshka was happy for the two of them, she felt unsure of whether if the girl was a good enough mate for the orc she had grew up with. And on that unsure note, Aroshka immediately challenged Lirshar for her right to be Duron's mate. The battle was fierce, and neither side wanted to submit. In the end, Aroshka felt the pure intensity from the Frostwolf, and she gave her blessing.

When Thrall came to free the orcs from the internment camps, Aroshka was filled with a sense of relief. Although her heart grew heavy as they had to flee and she could not give a proper burial for the orcs who were lost in the breakout. Upon arriving in the newly dubbed land of Durotar, she immediately began work building or whatever was required of her, enjoying the freedom she had been given. She had heard the call of the spirits once more, and became a full fledged Shaman and began focusing on her Pyremastery once again to become a full fledged Pyremaster.

During the Third War, upon hearing of Duron and Lirshar's heading to Hyjal, she made her way towards the large tree and fought demon after demon, shedding blood and letting her rage explode as she cleaved her enemies with her axe and laid waste to them with her shamanism. When the orcs returned from the heinous fight, Aroshka couldn't think properly. She could only remember her rage and despite the ferocity she fought with, she couldn't help but feel sickened with her bloodlust. She stopped at Orgrimmar and packed up her armor, riding off to explore the world and continue her pyremaster duties.

She has not returned to Orgrimmar since the Third War. When the portal to Outland opened once more, she immediately set out to rediscover her homeland as well as reconnect with her roots with the Mag'har. Now that her time in Outland has ended, she rides towards Orgrimmar, her pyremastery ready to benefit the Horde.
