Appearance

The clothing she died in -- a grimy, stained pinafore over a hand-made, faded skirt.

Personality

Alignment: Chaotic neutral.

Perhaps it has to do with the massive amount of water damage retained from her death, but she seems to have some level of mindless hunger that tends to overshadow even the most strong-willed Forsaken, after a long undeath. Simply put, she is a giggling, manic, childish, cannibalistic little beast with a penchant for picking and eating the flesh of the living. She knows to be obedient and "good" most of the time, and has a very innocent mindset regarding "friends" -- anyone who doesn't cringe at the sight of her can be a friend. Once she attaches that label to an individual, they are stuck with a fiercely loyal sort of guardian, who will brutally savage anyone she has a quarrel with.

Sadly, she is easily distractable, making her an imperfect assassin. While she has learned stealth and sabotage in her undeath, the somewhat demented little undeader would rather chase butterflies (and then pull their wings off) than try to take part in any sort of massively evil (or massively heroic) plot of any sort. She lacks the mental capacity to commit atrocities, let alone heroic deeds.

History

Born to a dressmaker and a city guard in Stratholme, Pitena led an unremarkable life. She followed her mother's path as a seamstress, was courted by the handsome lad who owned the flower cart nearby, and generally had a pleasant, if non-notable life.

Her death, however, was pitiable. Upon learning that they had been consuming poisoned grain, Captain Barrowes took his wife and daughter to the city square. The last sight in Pitena's living eyes was that of Prince Arthas and his men entering the city. Her father, clad in the silver armor of the Guard, held wife and daughter beneath the shining waters of the square fountain to spare them the horrors that were yet to come, and hopefully save them from the horror of rebirth.

It wasn't until much later, when she was crouched over the twitching body of her father, that she realized she was eating his liver. Surrounded by a smoldering Lordaeron, she dug her nails into her eyes, ripping them from her skull in her last act of agony and self-pity.

She joined the hordes of the mindless, self-indulgent corpses of the Scourge, knowing nothing else until the cold hand of Sylvanas pulled her and her brethren from Arthas' iron-fisted grasp. Unable to comprehend what had happened to her, Pitena retreated into a state of partial madness, wandering the land and sating her desire for companionship and fresh eyes on toast.

Skills and Abilities

"Strength" and "Stamina" given by a deadening of nerves from undeath... other than that, she retains very little from her first life, and has gained very little from her undeath.
