Personality

Nehma is a maternal sort, and altruistic to a fault. She does not see the reason to be isolated from the outside world like many Kal'dorei traditionalists, but to go out and aid those who are bereaved, injured, sick, or orphaned to the extent of her ability. She views the younger races with a deep-seated compassion, and holds a desire to teach that compassion to whoever will listen, regardless of race, creed, gender, or class. Her drive to nurture and heal the wounds that the travesties of Azeroth have left on countless people also cause her to abhor violence and intolerance in all its forms, and this abhorrence is something she tries to teach very firmly. Races like Orckind and Humanity, she says, “must not be taught through the fist, or through the switch, but by the open hand, held out as if to guide.”

History

Born in Winterspring slightly less than 2500 years after the Sundering and War of the Ancients, Nehma was brought up by her mother, a Sentinel who served on the front lines. Religion was always heavily enforced in her home, but not to the point of zealotry. She was taught Elune's ways from the point she could speak. She was very forthcoming as she grew, known as one who helped the bullied and pushed-around recover and encourage them to stand up for themselves- and followed her own example.

As she grew, that same kindness shown in her childhood was only tempered. In her developing years, she was taken by a shan'do in the arts of healing and clerical service to Elune. Remaining in Winterspring with occasional excursions into Ashenvale for field experience with healing injured Sentinels and others who were injured in the forests or on the front lines by quilboar, harpies, and the like.

Seven thousand, eight hundred years of the Long Vigil passed her by, and the Burning Legion came once more. Nehma rose to the occasion by making swift rounds through the outposts, healing fallen Sentinels and Druids along with their mounts as need be, and doggedly trying to bring even the most broken soldier to her feet.

When the war was won, Nehma decided to make a pilgrimage of her own, traveling across the sea into the Eastern Kingdoms to aid those whose lives had been broken by the Third War, such as refugees from Lordaeron who had relatives taken by the Scourge, orphans who lost their parents to disease or violence, seemingly regardless of race when she could get away with it.

In the current period of time, she lives in Stormwind, earning a living at the orphanage as a relief matron (even caretakers get sick), selling herbs that she gathers to alchemists, and living a relatively simpler life than the one she had during the Third War.
