Personality

Alignment: Lawful Good.

She is a very protective person to her own kind, preferring herself get hurt than others. She is a very kind person and is very hard to make angry. She is very outgoing and doesn't let anything make her sad. This all however, is only true for her own people.

She doesn't like any of the other races. She tolerates them, though that would be the Kal'dorei mostly. But she has a strong oppression against any of them being around her adopted daughter. She will allow almost any Kal'dorei to be around her, though she will watch them. Humans are able to get close to her, but Light help them if they touch her. She wishes, however, that Gnomes and Dwarves stay away form her completely. And any Horde race wouldn't be around her anyways. When she is in a neutral zone, she will often glare at them.

If anyone but her own kind attempts to start a conversation with her, she will likely act very wary of them, until they are able to prove that they deserve otherwise.

History

Her history is like that of any Draenei. She has lived for a long time, seen a lot of things. She lived a normal life on Argus... until everything started going wrong. When the time came, she was quick to side with Velen. She left with no family, just herself. Her parents had long since died of a strange illness.

When they arrived at their new home, she was wary of the Orcs. They were savage, and she didn't like them one bit. She never did... and when they turned on them, she wasn't willing to say "I told you so."

She fought, and she defended. Her own people dieing in front of her very eyes, as she could do nothing. They ran... from one -safe- place to another. Finally they arrived at Shattrath, but even that didn't last.

There were no important events in all this as she fought, and she ran from Shattrath, to Zangarmarsh. Here they were finally safer than they had been in a long time. When the time came for the battle of the Exodar though, her life changed forever.

The fight was chaos. They weren't an army, they didn't have order in their charge. It was kill or be killed for them. Their enemy had heavy armor in front, healers behind them. Their enemy knew what they were doing, but her people fought anyways. Liana fought hard, trying her best to simply survive. No matter how bad she wanted to, she couldn't protect anyone else... she was far too busy with her own life. Every second she was blocking or swinging.

After she had won a few fights, her ears perked up as a few elven bodies scattered limply around her. Everything around her became quiet, as if she was shell shocked. Everything except for one sound. She heard crying, and she turned and rushed through the fight. She pushed past her brothers and sisters, past elves and civilians fleeing for their lives, when she found a small girl--A Draenei, covering her eyes and crying. She looked around, and quickly took note she was far too close to a fighting pair, a vindicator and a mage. She saw fire raining down and realized there was no time to help her sister. She grabbed the girl and ran for the closest ship.

Once inside she put the girl down, and turned to protect her. but as time passed. Only her brothers and sisters entered, with some wounded and others perfectly fine. She waited until the doors shut before throwing her blade aside and dropping down. The small girl was crying. She scooped her up into her arms, and cradled her. She had never done this before... but she seemed to do it well. The girl calmed down, and quickly fell asleep. Liana shook her head with a loud sigh as she felt the ship start to move.

For a while everything seemed fine, until there was a terrible shaking. She stood up with the girl in her arms and ran off. She found everyone gathered in a room, and someone came running screaming that the ship had been sabotaged.

She looked around as everyone panicked. Everyone rushed for the life pods. She followed, looking for one that hadn't already been shut, or was full. There were Draenei everywhere and seemed to be nowhere to go. Then, a sister with a bunch of children with her ran by and grabbed her arm.

"This way!"

She led her down a long hall of others piling into rooms. She looked down to see the girl was still asleep. She ran as fast as she could, not seeming to notice everyone around her. She followed the woman until the entire ship shook, like an earthquake. She heard explosions and looked around. At the shaking, she almost fell over, but she kept her footing making sure to hang on to the girl. She didn't bother looking down, rather just pushing herself off the wall and running after the woman. Finally, they entered a pod. There were not many inside, just a few men and women. Even with all the children it didn't become cramped.

She sat down with a loud sigh. She had made it. She felt safe now. She held the girl close, watching the door close, as a confirmation was sent out--everyone on the ship was in a pod. She looked down to see the girl was asleep. Had she not waken from all that? She smiled, happy she was able to save her. Then, she felt very strange as if a large amount of magic had just washed over her. She ship shuttered, but inside the pod, everything was muffled.

She felt it... the sudden change in the gravity. Between the fake and the new real, she felt heavy. She knew that feeling, soon after, the feeling of her insides being lifted up. The ship was falling, no, it was crashing. She heard noises, as if air was being released. It came closer, and closer, then suddenly, their pod locked, all light being shut out... and jolted. It had been launched. She closed her eyes, holding the girl tightly, making sure even at the cost of her own life, that she would be safe. She blacked out as the pod hit the ground. She didn't wake up for quite a while.

When she awoke, she was in a strange place. She looked up to stare at the stars. She felt as though her bones were broken, or at least broken and then freshly healed. She looked around as a thought jumped into her mind. She almost panicked looking around at all the Draenei moving about but froze when something rubbed against her stomach. She slowly looked down to find the girl there, asleep. She sighed in relief, putting her hand on the girls head and running her fingers through her hair. They had made it, safe for now

By time the girl had awoken, the woman who had led her to safety on the ship noticed her. She rushed over, pulling the girl away, so they could speak privately.

"That girl... I was so worried. In the chaos before the ship, we lost her, and I couldn't find her anywhere."

"I am Liana. Are you her mother?"

"No, I am the orphan matron. She no longer has a mother. She died not long after her birth."

"... I would like to have her as my own then."

"You would adopt her, in a time like this?"

"Yes."

The matron stared at her for a long moment, and then smiled and nodded. She went back to fetch the girl, bringing her back just a few seconds later.

"Lilly, this woman who saved you is named Liana. And she wants to be your new mother."

She knew the girl did not understand. She was too young. But when Lilly smiled, her heart jumped in excitement. This was the first family she had ever had. She didn't even know her parents, and now she had a daughter.

Since then, she has not fought a single battle. She has worked hard at helping her brothers and sisters, pampering Lilly every chance she gets. When their new allied races would come through, she would try to find her something such as a toy or a dress.

After a couple years she took Lilly to Stormwind, the human city. There they have lived happily, and only recently did she acquire combat equipment. She plans to go and fight again. To make sure this new world is safe for her daughter... but she couldn't bare to be away from her for too long. So this is where her story ends, and her legacy begins.
