• Aspiring Priestess of the Moon: Leora has practically grown up with stories of Priestesses of the Moon. As an even younger Elf, the novice has chosen to hone her skills in combat as much as she has her skills at worship of Elune. This means she knows the basics of archery and swordplay, despite still needing quite a bit more training in both fields.

Eyes: Amber

Scale/Height: 0.9/1.83m

Appearance

Usual Garments/Armor: Leora usually wears the robes of a novice Priestess of Elune, coupled with a circlet on her brow. However, she also owns various sets of more comfortable traveling gear despite rarely using them.

Other: Leora, though a Priestess, has done at least some training. The skinny, little girl comes supplied with a smattering of muscles. Nothing like a Sentinel would, but still more than one would expect from a young novice.

Personality

Leora has grown up rather traditionally. She has a strong mistrust for outsiders of any race, even outright hatred for some. Despite this fact, the teachings of the Sisterhood have always focused on tempering this hatred and mistrust. Now, Leora will move to help most creatures in need whatever their race though her own people will always come first in her eyes.

History

Leora was born to a Sentinel and a Druid in the forest of Ashenvale, quite a way's away from the town of Astranaar. One could say she had a rather average childhood, learning of Elune, combat and, when time permitted, nature. Sadly, it appeared in her early life that luck was not to be part of her immortal life as her father died when she was about ten years old, the barrow dens he called home giving way to the whims of nature and collapsing.

In honour of her fallen father, Leora's mother continued teaching her young daughter in what she knew of nature, instilling an interest in the Druids in the girl. As Leora grew older, a Priestess -younger than her mother yet still much older than the girl- had started making more and more frequent visits and, though her mother never spoke a word of it, Leora believed there to be more between the two than they let on.

Even so, the Priestess taught the young Leora about the Sisterhood, Elune, and what she later found out to be her calling. Despite her interest in nature, manifesting in daily "adventures" out into the woods, Leora had soon decided she would become a Priestess as her mother's close friend had suggested. When Leora finally came of age, the girl left Ashenvale in order to join the Sisterhood as a Priestess.

Before she left, however, her mother and the Priestess who had become as much family as her father had once been, had another surprise for her. As they set up a celebration for their daughter, believing the girl to have left her things behind again to be in nature, they had started talking of how they felt. About each other, about the girl, about Leora's fallen father. Unbeknownst to them, however, Leora -while she had been out- returned early to find her mother and the Priestess choosing each other as life mates with a single kiss. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Leora was happy for her mother to have found love again, as she was happy for herself to have two parents once more.

It wasn't long after this that Leora had left for the Temple in order to train. Remaining there for years at a time, she was often visited by her parents, often her Priestess mother alone due to her own duties. Though, in the Temple, there was rarely time for adventure out in nature, Leora still traveled out there when she could to honour her father's memory, returning soon to continue her training.

As all good things do, however, the peace that had lasted for the entirety of Leora's life had ended and, against the wishes of her mentors and peers, the youngster traveled back to Ashenvale to help in its defence. Finding her mothers first, Leora joined the defence force as support. With the war, however, came the issue of defending oneself from attack and, whenever they had the time, her Sentinel mother had decided to teach the young priestess skills at combat. Skills that Leora took to gladly, despite the grimness of the situation.

The war eventually did end and, though her mother was reluctant, Leora wished to continue her training with the woman and so they often trained Leora's archery and combat skills with the Moonglaive. They continued this for some time before it was time Leora returned to the Temple to continue her studies there, relocating to Darnassus once it was ready for habitation.

This is where Leora remained until the Cataclysm struck. Though she often received mail from her parents, and still did, Leora had decided that she could better continue her studies as a Priestess by helping those in need: The defence forces of Ashenvale...
