Personality

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Personality: She is rude and foul-mouthed, the proverbial black sheep of her family. She curses constantly, drinks often, and unapologetically uses her body to her advantage. She is extremely prejudiced to most non-human races, save dwarves and gnomes, as she sees them as the cause of the world's problems, and why she has had to endure so much hardship. She is also very adverse towards her parents for having to grow up and learn from the streets, but shows much affinity for her siblings. She has a very playfully antagonistic relationship with her younger sister, Lenna.

History

Doriah was one of five siblings. Born in Westfall, she watched her older brothers toil the fields with her parents, and would join them for a few months before the family moved to Sentinel Hill to escape the rebels of the land. For the next six years, they became crafters, scrapping together a living how they could, Doriah taking an interest in blacksmithing. She put together simple daggers from scraps she stole from the floor of the local smithy, making up for her lack of resources with creativity and guile. She also grew used to her older brothers teasing and rough-housing her, actions she would later come to repeat on her younger siblings, particularly her sister Lenna.

Fearing the threat of the Defias Brotherhood, her family moved to the recently rebuilt Stormwind. Doriah often wandered about the city, listening to stories of the Defias and rumors of the reason for their foundation, which would inspire her to spend a lot of time learning engineering in the Dwarven District. Often short on money, she would continue her thieving ways in order to get supplies for her building habits. Despite her growing rude and tomboy behavior, she was very gifted intellectualy, and her ability grew and grew. During this time, stories of the First and Second Wars would cause her to become increasingly hateful of the other races of Azeroth, save the Dwarves and Gnomes she often saw in Stormwind. When she was 18, she left home to make it on her own, never forgiving her parents for how tough her life had been. She managed to survive through her guile, but unfortunately, her luck eventually ran out, and she was caught stealing some materials from the local blacksmith. She ended up locked up in the Stockade for the five years of her life.

Life in the Stockade was tough. Despite her hardened exterior, it was nothing compared to the murderers confined within those walls, those with no hope of ever leaving other than overthrowing the facility. Every day she was abused by the other prisoners, physically and emotionally, and was so bruised up at one point that she took to wearing a black scarf over her face to hide just how beat up she was. She did take the time to get stronger, learning to brawl and eventually fighting back, gaining the respect of her fellow inmates for her resilience. But no amount of respect could change the fact that she was stuck there to rot.

The cunning Doriah was not through, and she would come to learn in her time that some of the soldiers watching the prisoners were just as corrupt as those they watched. She would take advantage by flirting with the guards, until one of them offered to get her out in exchange for making love to him. He told his superiors that she had helped him overtake a prisoner trying to kill him, and paid some of the other guards to cosign to his story. As a result of her "valorious behavior" and with the testimony that she had redeemed herself, she was set free. Now she wanders the world, searching for her siblings and resuming her old practices of thievery and engineering.
