Appearance
Unless needed, Aela prefers to dress for comfort, rather then battle. Plain, soft clothes of simple design, usually of darker colours. If the situation calls for it though, form fitting mail and leather.
Personality
Aela is slow to anger, and often listens with an intentness that can be unnerving. Because of her limited communication ability, she can become frustrated at herself at times. Although tolerant of most races, she dislikes Orcs and Blood Elves intensely, because of the history between their races. She distrusts Undead as well.
History
Born far away, Aela'dinei has been mute since birth. Many of the Draenei's priests and paladins have tried to cure her, with the Light's grace, but none have been successful. Maybe this part of the Light's plan, or maybe it is simply not within it's power. She has become fairly skilled at communicating with gestures, and with others who can read Draenic, but this is a time-consuming process.
Born after the first Exodus, Aela'dinei grew to adulthood in the Naaru ship, as it traveled from world to world. There were lovers, some noteable, some not. There were good times, there were bad times. When the Draenei found what would become Draenor, she was an adult. The path of the mage, or that of the paladin, had not called to her. She felt the call of the Naaru and the Light, but her condition caused her to seek other paths. As a long-run scout, she wandered the lands, mapping and searching for dangers.
When they were driven off Draenor, again, Aela'dinei lost hope for a time. They Draenei had lost their second home, a place of edyllic peace. She had lost many of her friends, a lover, and a purpose. When the very idea of stealing the Exodar to escape the Legion's next assault was proposed, she was uncertain, wavering. She came around the the idea, and did her part to help.
The sabotage, and crash of the Exodar drove Aela'dinei to her lowest point. Could nothing the Draenei do succeed? Would they never know more than a memory of home, a moment of respite, before having it snatched away? Many Draenei were darting, leaving the Exodar, leaving even the idea of their original home, or Draenor.
This world is not Aela'dinei's home. The Naaru ship, Draenor, those were her homes. But whether it was their home or not, they were here, and must accept this. Teaming with the Alliance, she fought the Legion, accepting the Horde when they came to be a target as well. She does not trust Blood Elves easily, due to their sabotage of the Exodar, but tries to accept they weren't all responsible.
Aela'dinei moved to Elwynn forest as the latest assault began. She felt her skills as scout might make her useful, despite her difficulty communicating. Since then, she has made several friends, of several races. Hope has begun to flicker, weakly in her heart.
