Appearance

Tends to pick her clothing rather to be comfortable and fitting more than fashionable. On duty wears clothing representing her faction or cause as well as headbands holding her hair above her forehead. She wears no rings either on her tail or chin tendrils. Usually wears a weapon with her.

Other: Her muscles belong to the kind concentrating themselves tightly under her skin instead of expanding under it. Due to that, the size of her body doesn't differ much from a posture of draenei magic-users, making her easy to mistake for one if she's wearing robes.

She speaks with a strong draenei accent.

Personality

Kraana tends to be a very joyful and energetic draenei, open and hospitable, although not too patient. She seems to be trying to enjoy life the best she can (not always responsibly) and is always ready to help those in need, even though the ways she helps in may seem unusual if not childish. Apparently she either doesn't realize her immaturity or doesn't mind being recognized with it as a strong personality trait. She enjoys playing jokes on friends around her as her own way of making people happier.

Despite of hundreds of years of battling behind her, Kraana keeps up her training routine every day, repeating her mother's words of "Une must alvays bi pripeerd" as she perfects her resistances to all climates, stamina, strength, agility and such. Her fighting style is that of a berserker warrior, taught to use her rage to strike enemies in the name of the Light. However vicious her combat style might seem, she is not driven by lust of killing and would refuse executing any creature or person she didn't see deserving of death.

Kraana highly prizes family and treats every member of draenei race as a member of it, being quite understanding towards draenei death knights. This however isn't the case with death knights or other dark characters of other races, often seeing them as unwanted by the Lights and thus a target of its justice.

History

Kraana was born on a distant planet during the draenei race's constant flee from the Burning Legion. Her childhood and most of her maturity she spent on the draenei ship and the many planets they temporarily hid on, striving to find home and help to fight the Legion's might.

She was one of children lucky enough to have both her parents in life, as well as a three siblings, including her younger sister she was always protective about. When Kraana reached the appropriate age, her mother began teaching her the arts of a warrior, showing her both how to fight powered by strong emotions, and how to fight without feeling them, giving to the cold excellency of a dance she saw emotionless battle as. With time, Kraana chose to be a warrior of fury, training that path together with many lessons on survival, forging and taking care of armor as well as cooking. Being a draenei, Kraana was also learning to use the Naaru's blessing to mend wounds, however due to her style of combat she trusted healing potions or bandages more than her patience to heal in a battle.

As the draenei settled on Draenor, Kraana was assigned to guarding Fortress Auchindoun for some time, the draenei holy site where they rested their dead. After a few years she moved to live back with her family, teaching her youngest sister everything that she was taught earlier by her mother, training her in the ways of a Light's warrior, herself exercising her patience as a teacher.

The settlement of draenei that Kraana's family lived in had good relations with the orcs living nearby, seeing them as tranquil beings, living in peace with the spirits within them and around them. The more it felt like betrayal when the orcs came into a Blood Pact with Mannoroth, the Burning Legion's general, turning them into bloodthirsty conquerors. As the few years of attacks on the draenei began, Kraana's family started on another constant flee together with the rest of their race. In one of many battles, Kraana's mother was beheaded by an orc Kraana recognized from the past. That filled her with even more rage and hatred towards the orcs. In next battles she lost her two other siblings and even her father, leaving her with the younger sister. With the unspeakable grief filling her, she proceeded with other draenei and found herself in the part led by the prophet Velen to Zangarmarsh, hiding out from the corrupted orcs and broken draenei.

After some time the draenei survivors raided the Tempest Keep at the time controlled by the blood elves and with a loss of few lives managed to break off one of the satellite wings of the enchanted fortress, the Exodar, which they used to escape.

In one of Kraana's strongest memories, as the Exodar is hurriedly being prepared to portal away from Draenor, she hugs her younger sister tightly, promising to protect her always no matter what. Through the next few moments the fortress's satellite moved through the Twisting Nether and appeared over the planet Azeroth, crashing into it.

Kraana woke up during the night, her body paining in agony from the heavy wounds she received. She wasn't sure if even one bone in her body remained intact. As she was expecting to die, she felt another draenei coming nearby. "I don't know if I can make it. Please help me..." Kraana whispered and felt healing Light weave into her wounds, slowly healing them. A few minutes later she could stand, supported by the draenei woman she recognized as one of the priestesses. The warrior began slowly walking around, looking for her sister. She found half of her dead body, smashed against a tree. Soon after, her sister's remains were buried at the graveyard in Ammen Vale.

Since that point, Kraana changed from a considerate and tranquil draenei into a strange version of herself, energetic and joyful to the extreme. Only sometimes she could be found quiet and thoughtful like in the old times.

Currently she is trained by a dwarven brewmaster Scotaidh in the art of brewing, cooking and pastry.
