Appearance

Esthrunil has incorporated a corset into just about every outfit she owns. Each and every outfit is fairly conservative, however, and rather over-done with jewels and whatnot. She layers the corsets over her ordinary clothing, typically. She always carries a long, curved knife.

Other: Esthrunil has a number of grisly scars trailing the left side of her face. They cut through her eyebrow, dig into her eye and come down, cleaving her upper lip and scarring the bottom lip. As a result, she is blind in that left eye, without most of her left eyebrow and she has a cleft lip.

Esthrunil also likes piercings and has seven in each ear.

Personality

Esthrunil is a manipulative, controlling and sadistic elf. As it is, she cares little about anyone's well-being but her own and will use others to ensure her safety. She enjoys putting people through misery from time to time, as it helps her feel better about her own problems. She is concerned with gaining the power to ensure she controls her own life and maintains as much control as possible over her future. Situations where she has no control scare her, but she tries a great deal to put up a cool, nonchalant demeanor. She is often successful at maintaining this demeanor.

Esthrunil is well aware of her scars and attempts to make up for them with her clothing and other various attempts at appearing more beautiful. She is self-conscious, though she would never admit to it.

As it is, she has yet to truly step in the direction of, “evil,” though it may seem so. She does not mean others harm, nor does she seek to take any sense of power over anything important – she merely wishes to better her own life and prevent harm from coming her way. She has a terrible fear of undead that can unhinge her cool demeanor and leave her either a whimpering lump on the ground or a madwoman, foaming at the mouth with unbridled rage.

In her spare time, she presses flowers and practices charcoal artwork and calligraphy, citing them as ways to keep herself centered, along with regular meditation.

History

Esthrunil Suntreader was born in the city of Silvermoon to her parents Asth'Erian and Sarialla, a pair of magi. It stands to reason then, that Esthrunil was basically destined to be a mage, herself. Her young childhood was spent learning – languages like Common and her native tongue, writing, manners and most of all, arcane theory and research. She was a bookworm as a youth, much to her parents' delight. She devoured books day in and day out, learning all she possibly could from then.

As time went on, Esthrunil began to learn the practice of magic. Well into her middle youth, she was being taught spells and beyond by her family, who insisted that she pursue her knack for learning, in the way of magic. She was happy to oblige, and she continued her studies for years (attending classes and such, as well) in a rather uneventful world that offered her many kindnesses. She began writing and rewriting books as well as practicing calligraphy in her spare time, after a while. Her role in life became that of an academic – as such, she took to the work of a scribe for money.

Once she came of age, she continued to hoard books, rewrite them and sell copies as a way of earning her place. Her magical studies never truly stopping, she grew to a decent place of power in her adulthood. She was hardly the most expert of magi, but she was quite skilled in her crafts. She had made a number of contacts, including one Aeth'Enril Dawnbringer, a close family friend.

Life was quite good, until the Scourge came knocking at the High Elven doorstep in Quel'Thalas. The day that the Scourge came, people were panicking – some were evacuating and others were fighting back. Esthrunil attempted to accompany a number of refugees who were trying to evacuate the city. In her evacuation, she was tackled to the ground and wounded by a ghoul who seemed intent on ripping her eye from her skull. Much of the rest of the day was a bloody, painful haze. She recalls escaping and leaving the city, making it into hiding with a couple of her friends.

The group attempted to heal Esthrunil's wounds, but the best they could manage was to boost the natural healing process. As a result, Esthrunil is blind in her left eye and has several nasty scars on her face. The group remained in hiding for years afterward – and it was in this time that Esthrunil brooded. The idea that she was weak had time to fester before she was approached with a viable means of gaining the power to defend her future. It was Aeth'Enril, the close family friend mentioned earlier, who approached Esthrunil and persuaded her – though it did not take very much. The effects of withdrawal had crept into her skull, warping her thoughts and making her weak and desperate. She needed something to change, as soon as possible.

Esthrunil spent years studying with Aeth'Enril, learning how to utilize demons to her advantage, and how to manipulate the fel. She took it overboard after a few years of fundamentals however, and began to study independently. Unsatisfied with the mediocre amount she'd been learning due to a number of obstacles, she began seeking out a more experienced tutor two years prior to the present day.

It wasn't until recently that Esthrunil returned to her home city and re-established herself there, in an attempt to make more contacts. She has been successful in learning, though she still considers herself to be mediocre and seeks much more than she has.
