Personality

Kisgal is a contemplative and philosophical orc, which is funny, because she lacks wisdom. She is rather impulsive and carefree, taking her title of Blademistress lightly, and rarely acting the part as inspirational champion. She doesn't even have a sashimono. Kisgal is a fun-loving orc who isn't shy to say hello to a stranger. While she is contemplative, this doesn't mean she thinks things out. She usually only contemplates things when she's in a debate or in the midst of combat. When it comes to the Alliance races, her die hard loyalty to Thrall and his new Horde causes her to despise them all, although she is fine with those aligned with neutral factions. She hates the Alliance as a faction and a cause, but is okay with it's individuals, for the most part. She holds a special hatred for demons, and is quick to the draw when warlocks are involved.

In the end, Kisgal wants to go to sleep in a bed, and be able to wake up the next day and realize she can do whatever she wants to do that day. She values freedom, independence, and honor, like any good orc should.

History

Kisgal was born into the Blackrock Clan seven years before the Dark Portal opened. Her parents were both a Blademaster and a Blademistress, which made her path when she got older an obvious one. However, her parents were in service to the Legion, worshiping demons in place of the elements. Kisgal began learning how to properly wield a blade before she could crawl, and how to properly ward off blows when she was five. As a child, her days were split between menial tasks, proper blade forging, and defensive maneuvers and parries. She carried on like this, learning from her mother while her father served the Shadow Council, for five years. Only at the age of ten did she begin learning offensive maneuvers and strikes, and her mother was not sent to war for she was teaching the next generation of champions for the Horde. With news of victory during the First War, Kisgal trained harder and harder to prove her worth as a Blademistress so that she might one day make her mother proud, and make all the time she spent on the girl worth it.

The change of leadership didn't bother Kisgal or her family in the slightest, as her father was drunk on bloodlust and her mother was more concerned with her daughter's training. Kisgal's tune changed when the Second War came, and the orcs were defeated. She began to harbor doubts about the power of the Horde, and expressed these doubts to her mother. She was quickly beaten, and disowning was threatened. While these actions only strengthened her suspicions of weakness in the Old Horde, Kisgal kept them quiet from then on, believing that maybe the demon blood wasn't the best way for her people. Regardless, she kept this silent, and trained even harder than she did when she fought for a chance to prove herself. Now she was fighting for the chance to lead and save her people. Despite the actions Kisgal's mother took against her, they still held a deep bond with one another.

While Kisgal was still young, her mother felt that she was strong enough to combat the human threat on Azeroth, this coupled nicely with her curiosity about the humans' skill as combatants and how they'd hold up against orcish ability. So, shortly before the invasion of Draenor by the Alliance Expedition, Kisgal and her mother left Draenor to find the girl's father and maybe kill some humans along the way. Thanks to the fact that there were only two of them, they were able to advance through the wastes and link up with the remnants of the Warsong Clan, where they learned that Kisgal's father had been captured and placed into an internment camp. Kisgal and her mother teamed up with the Warsongs, then, striking at human patrols and scouting parties where they could. Over time, Kisgal started to bring her doubts up to her mother again, and this time was able to do it more carefully that wouldn't result in swift retribution. Over an even longer time, she persuaded her mother to harbor her own doubts about the Horde. They became even closer, their bonds depth rivaling that of soul mates.

This all changed when a human ran her mother through in her sleep. Her mother's death throes woke Kisgal up, where she promptly slew the attacker and his companions. Her mother was dead by the time she was done. This shook her to the core; her ideals of saving her people shattered with the death of her mother. If she could not save her own mother, how could she hope to save the rest of the orcs? She withdrew from the Warsong, finding herself a failure, and went on a rampage, becoming a lone Blademistress and adventuring through the Southern part of the Eastern Kingdoms, killing as many humans as she could. Her bloodlust fueled her years-long rage, until she came into contact with Thrall's new Horde and his call to return to Shamanism. She recognized this as her old hope for her people, and joined the New Horde, but understood that it was not her place to be their savior. Instead, that was up to Thrall. She participated in the liberation of the internment camps, with new found enthusiasm. While her personality remained selfish and more pleasure-oriented than it had been, she adapted slightly, wanting to help her new Warchief in any way she could.

Kisgal traveled to Kalimdor with the rest of her new people, and aided in the Third War, fighting in the Battle for Mount Hyjal. She was lucky enough not to be slain, of course, and retreated with the rest. Kisgal remained weary of the humans, dwarves, gnomes, and night elves, of course, but kept that opinion to herself, as they were her allies. She enjoyed the new found peace while it lasted. When the call to war against the Legion in her homeland was sounded, she eagerly signed up, wanting to get back at the Legion for what they'd done to her people. She also fought in the war against the Scourge, wanting to put her fallen orcish brothers and sisters to rest. Since then, she has been wandering Azeroth, looking for pleasure and ways to further the goals of her Warchief. Sometimes, she still wonders where her dad was, as she didn't help liberate all of the camps.

Skills and Abilities

Wind Walk: Three times an hour, Kisgal can sprint upon the wind for ten seconds, allowing her to move up to six times her speed. She is invisible while this is active.

Enchant Blade: Kisgal may call upon one of the four elements to engulf her blade with its power. It lasts for ten minutes, and takes five seconds to do.

Bladestorm: Kisgal spins in a circle with her blade out, adding the mystical power of the wind element to her spinning to allow her to move at supernatural speeds. As an added bonus, she isn't made dizzy by this.

Agility: The Blademistress Kisgal is quick and agile for a warrior, as she is blessed by the element of wind. She's extra agile, to a point where it'd annoy an opponent from her constant dodging.
