Personality

Despite Keira being a Night Elf, a more strong willed and tough race, she has always been different. She has always been quiet. She often stutters in a conversation and just doesn't know what to say a lot of times. Keira is more a pacifist in nature rather than a warrior, always looking for a peaceful solution. However, should her life or the life of one of her friends be in danger, she can prove herself a fierce warrior. Even when she trusts someone enough and dares to speak up, she remains rather quiet. With recent events, Keira is quicker to stand up for things she believes in and the people she loves.

History

Keira was born in a small house near Astranaar threehundred and twenty-one years ago shortly after her twin sister, as the daughter to a powerful druid and a sentinel. She lived a simple life for most of the time. Her mother began training her in the use of weapons. She wasn’t skilled with any weapons aside from a staff. Her father was rarely around, being in the Emerald Dream most of the time. The few times he was around they spent a lot of time together.

One of those few times he was around he took Keira to bed. On this particular night, he overheard her talking in her sleep. Her father heard Keira talking about her wanting to become a druid, like her father. The next day her father called Keira towards him and, without anyone else ever learning of it, he began teaching her in some of the simpler Druidic philosophies. This was one of Keira’s happiest moments of her life.

When the Third War arrived, her father and sister were called to the front lines of war, leaving her behind under guidance of her mother. Patrols were forced to increase due to the possible danger and as a result Keira’s mother was away from home more and more. In these troubling times Keira started taking care of herself, getting help from other women in Astranaar. They taught her how to cook and to hunt. She never did like to harm or kill an animal, not even one as small as a mouse.

Shortly after the war, her father returned to her home but her sister never came back, too busy with the war against the Orcs and eventual demise. Learning of how women were now allowed to become druids, Keira decided to follow in her father's footsteps. The lessons her father taught her she kept close to her heart and always in her mind.

After a few years, Keira's father decided she was old enough and took her to enter the Emerald Dream. In the Dream she learned her first shapeshift form, the Cat form. It's still new to her and she is still getting used to it and battling against the more feral side of her new form.

Shortly after the Cataclysm, Keira and her sister reunited. The two went out together on several trips to Winterspring and Azshara. The last trip turned into something unexpected for the two. The two left their clothes behind and snuck back to Ashenvale. Franziska promised Keira everything would be alright as soon as they arrived at their destination and Franziska's contact.

Keira went out of Astranaar after the naked run for a bath and some relaxation. Little did she know a cat was creeping up on her. But this was no ordinary cat as Keira recognized the faded markings. This cat was a semi feral Druid! A short talk followed and the Druid offered to train Keira. Saying goodbye to her sister, Keira followed her new Shan'do, who introduced herself as Xeniliana, into the Emerald Dream. Here the two remained for several weeks as they trained. After leaving the Dream once more, Keira visited her sister.

One night Keira went out to meditate in the forests on her own. After her meditation she started making her way back home only to be interrupted by a hollow voice behind her. “... Hunger takes all.” Keira turned and saw the Death Knight. Before she knew what was happening the two clashed and Keira fell to the ground, her leather top ripped somewhere on the ground. Before the girl knew what happened the Death Knight send a couple of Death Coils and Mind Freezes towards her, all aimed for the head. Keira screamed out in pain as the Death Knight ripped out her eyes. Suddenly it was the like the Death Knight came to her senses and Keira managed to fight her off. The two ran different ways.

For a short time after this fight, Keira thought she was lost and would die in the forests of Ashenvale. But this was not the case as she was found by her sister on patrol. Keira's wounds were cleaned by her sister before her Shan'do was called to heal the girl and regrow the eyes. Yet even with combined power, the eyes did not regrow. Keira thought she remained blind for the rest of her life, despite her sister's promises.

Soon enough, a night when Keira and Franziska were bathing Enconius, a Druid she met before, came up to the two, only telling them they had to come with him. What neither of them expected was to find Xeniliana. A quick explanation of what going to happen, followed by a peptalk from Enconius and after that the second attempt to regrow the eyes. After the return of her eyes and her limited sight, Keira delved into the arts of Druidism, practicing and training with all her might and her eyes eventually changed color from silver to amber.

Now Keira is helping her sister out anyway she can, currently studying tactics in order to help her sister and her people.

Skills and Abilities

Capable of taking care of herself in most situations and a great cook.

After finishing her training with Xeniliana, Keira is capable of using most Druid abilities though they all have a chance of failure, which will reduce over time and use of each ability.

Keira also has limited knowledge on tactics, currently learning how to better herself in that field.
