Appearance: Anything that provides protection, but still allows agile movement; nothing too flashy.

Personality: Rythtrix has enjoyed many relationships throughout her life, and after the casualties of wars and invasions, her closest companions have fallen. As a result she is often reluctant to get close to people. However she does warm up to certain people, but that step is hard for her. Rythtrix is curious in anything that her people are now undertaking ,but finds a moral problem with the recent decision to study Fel Magic, refraining from the use of it herself, and is wary of those who support the use of it. She has also developed a certain distain of the Magisters and Nobility of Silvermoon, becuase they openly admit to supporting the decision and thinking that there is a good reason to use the 'evil' Magic. Rythtrix is impartial to many of the races of Azeroth, however she is wary of the Orcs and their age old bloodlust, even if it has reportedly been satisfied. Rythtrix also keeps her distance from Humans, because of the betrayal the Elves suffered in the past after they taught them the secrets of Arcane Magic. The Forsaken, to Rythtrix, are a necessary means to an end, destroying the Scourge, with their knowledge of how best to destroy their counterparts, however she does not enjoy being in the presence of the undead, as she does not find it natural for anything that has been killed to still be alive.

History: Rythtrix was born in an apartment in Silvermoon City; she was the oldest of three children. Her father was a guard in Eversong Woods and raised her to be one too. Taught how to wield a short sword against a potential Troll attack, Rythtrix showed skill, but not until she was unleashed with a bow and arrow did her talents truly come into prominence. Not a perfect shot, but far from the worst her father had seen. As a result, he taught her most regularly in the way of the bow; the way of the Quel'Dorei ranger.

The training she received eventually took place within the Woods rather than the enclosed area it initially had. Rythtrix loved the forest and learned very quickly about all her father had to teach her, but was distracted by the wonders she saw around her. She learned about all the plants and animals, how to always find her way even in the dark or fog, but also how to stalk animals. In fact, once when she was still young she was able to sneak so close to a deer that she was a mere arm's length away before she spooked it. Soon she could come inches away from the lynxes and dragonhawks that inhabited the woods; soon befriending one such Springpaw Lynx, naming the lynx Goldy, after the colour of its mane.

One of the rangers from Silvermoon City saw the friendship between the lynx and Rythtrix and began teaching her the art of ranging. While learning from her master she befriended another young ranger named Drusca. The friendly rivalry between the two aided their skills massively, and it was Drusca that taught Rythtrix to use an axe with the skill she currently possesses. However, when the Scourge marched upon Silvermoon, Drusca fell to the Scourge. The rest of Rythtrix's family were also killed during the battle, surely to be raised later by Arthas to serve under a new banner. Rythtrix's master, Dala'thermor Firesong, was also killed struggling to defend the Golden City. There was nobody left for her there.

After the destruction of Silvermoon, Rythtrix retreated deep into the woods and lived side by side with nature, struggling to contain the hunger for arcane magic that had manifested itself after the destruction of the Sunwell, but finding comfort in nature. Years later she saw the spires of Silvermoon rising once more and headed back to her home, memories of the slaughter of her family and friends stalking her every step of the way like an assassin.

Now, she has come out of hiding and walks proudly through the streets of Silvermoon, ruthlessly attacking any sympathisers to the Scourge, and aiding the Forsaken blindly, in hope to find her family among their ranks one day.
