Appearance

Personality

Pyria generally maintains a cold, aloof demeanor. She has a tendency to simply stay quiet, attempting to shut down any conversation directed towards her. However, she feels extremely guilty about the crimes she committed during her time under the Lich King's control. Due to her experiences in the Ebon Blade, she doesn't harbor any racist feelings towards any race except for a very slight distaste for Humans. She feels close to all Death Knights, believing them to be almost her family.

History

Pyria was born to a kindly couple of Farstriders deeply in love. She grew up not wanting for anything, simply growing up peacefully in Silvermoon. Her Parents trained her in combat, hoping for her to follow in their footsteps as Farstriders. She learned quickly and her parents quickly began to put her through more complicated exercises, both physical and mental. Due to the training and schooling she recieved, Pyria had little time for social activities. Yet despite the lack of friends, Pyria was truly happy.

When she grew of age, Pyria joined her parents as a Farstrider. Her first taste of any kind of battle was a simple skirmish between a small tribe of trolls and her group of Farstriders. Pyria, while slightly shocked at what occurred, had been trained from an early age to cope with stressful situations. She simply forged ahead, slowly growing from a happy, carefree girl into a more serious, hardened woman. However, even as she slowly transformed, she remained happy.

Then Silvermoon was invaded. Pyria fought valiantly with the other defenders of Silvermoon, but to no end. She saw both her mother and father clawed down in front of her before they were revived as shambling monstrosities. Pyria barely managed to escape the falling city alive, hiding in her houses basement until the bulk of the Undead had left the city. She fell, along with most of her people, to the seductive magic that is Fel, her eyes turning from a brilliant blue to a bright green. The loss of arcane, along with the destruction of Silvermoon, shocked her vastly. This is the true point at which Pyria fell into darkness. She was consumed with hatred for the Undead, going to Northrend with Kael'thas in a weak attempt at vengeance.

It is here that she fell, dying to the claws of a ghoul. But death was not the end for Pyria. Her body was raised into the Lich King's service as a Death Knight. She proceeded to slaughter untold innocents under his control. During the battle of Light's Hope, she regained control of herself. Realizing all the horrid things she had done, she joined the Ebon Blade in their attempt to kill the Lich King. When the time came, she herself was not assaulting the Citadel. Rather, she helped hold off reinforcements so the forces inside could kill the Lich King. With Arthas dead, Pyria has found herself without purpose and has taken to wandering where she pleases.
