Personality

Lara is a girl that takes chances, if they are paid well enough. The higher the risk, the higher the payment in her eyes. Although she's not entirely a mercenary, seeing Lara has no use for contracts nor legal agreements. She does what she wants, when she wants it, and often gains a sack of coins on the way. When around most people she's able to show them a entirely different character, acting friendly, good mannered and whatever suits the situation the most. This is why only a few people she "trusts" know her real character. However, trusting does not guarantee her loyalty because you never know if she might get paid to get rid of a "trusted" one. So all in all, I find her pretty neutral. Some times she values agreements, at other times she's more likely chose for her own personal gain.

History

[ Stormwind destroyed, parents flee north with baby, get a proper life up north, lara has no memories of Stormwind, life's good, enter the third war, people flee south with lara among refugees. Born in Lordaeron, tales of Stormwind. Dreamt of SW. 19 when Lordaeron fell. ]

Lara's parents originated from Stormwind. Her mother being a caring passionate woman, her father a harsh man demanding discipline. Being a soldier in the Stormwind guard, he demanded the respect his position gave him. Upholding justice and rules and regulations fiercely, until Stormwind got attacked. Knowing that only one love exceeded the man's love for Stormwind, he abandoned his post and ran to his wife. Fleeing with her towards the city of Lordaeron, it didn't took long for them to settle down. The man had changed during the trip, having lost the city he cared so deeply for he became softer. He started to spend more time with his wife, eventually meaning Lara's birth.

It was the year 1, when Lara got born in Lordaeron. She grew up quickly, getting fed with tales of old Stormwind. She used to hear the songs that used to travel through the city as a child, the tales of how grand it was and how prosperous. Lara often fell asleep during the stories, dreaming further of how her life would be in Stormwind.

This had as result she never felt home in Lordaeron, no fires were ever warm enough for her. The city always looked cold in her eyes, the rules always pointless, sometimes bringing up arguments when she broke another rule saying that "Stormwind would have done differently" Or how foolish some decisions were. She was unhappy in Lordaeron, feeling imprisoned even at times. The only way she managed to show that unhappiness was to make others feel the same. Bulleying the children of her age, which led to often getting punished by the guards and at occasion even the guards knocking at her parent's door. When they asked her why, she only replied with "When can we go home?" before turning her eyes away. As the years passed, her pranks only got worse and worse till she found a other way to throw her emotions out.

When she was around fifteen, her father took her outside Lordaeron. Into the countryside where he secretly started teaching Lara in self-defense. Lara was skeptical at first, doubting she would be good enough. She and her father found out quickly that she had a talent for fighting, starting with self-defense quickly going over to offensive techniques with a sword. Her mother didn't approve all of it, and one day as Lara returned home with a cut over her arm as accident she found out. Taking a full night to shout at her husband as Lara listened from the other room. Her father however staying calm, and eventually just taking Lara out on the field again. The training with her father was great, but it never removed the desire of going back home. Back south.

In the middle of one night in the year of 20, she had packed her belongings together. Having enough of her desire to go south again, having enough of the guards tossing her into the prison every now and then.. She decided to leave. Not wishing to bring her parents to tears, she just couldn't stand it any more. She was busy writing a letter on the desk when the attack hit. Seeing no sign of her parents, she dropped the note near the front door as she ran out. Fleeing back to the South. Fleeing back to her "home", her "homeland".

The years in Stormwind had proven to be hard for her alone, she had no family to lean on any more. To aid and help her, hell, she didn't even have a roof above her head any more as she got there with several other refugees. Lara didn't manage to find a house in Stormwind, so went out into the woods of Elwynn eventually ending up at the logging camp. The local stables generously offered her a place to stay, and to even to give her some horse riding lessons every now and then if she would work for it. Her work mainly consisted of cutting logs with the rest of the group, cleaning the stables, caring for the horses and such likewise chores.. With that, the years passed eventually ending up in the current year.
