Appearance

She bears nothing of uniqueness which separates her out from her kin. Her stance is tall and her face relatively simple, although flawless would be a stretch to describe it.

Her proportions are not outlandish. She possesses a rather slim figure and small shoulders, her figure hidden by the baggy cloth she wears.

Although she is tall in comparison to other races (although not among her own kin) she tends to slouch, demonstrating a hardened experience on the beaten track as opposed to walking down pristine halls in safety.

Outfit: She tends to wear the same robe she was gifted with, that of an Anchorites. Though not an Anchorite herself, she recieved it as a gift of good fortune and wears it out of honour to those who taught her. Alignment: Lawful good

Personality

Tahlla lacks the attentiveness and tactical mind required to be a decisive thinker. She instead keeps her opinions to herself until she is bold enough to speak her mind.

Relatively welcoming to new companions, she is also very naive, possibly to a fault where she will grant trust to a person easily even if it may lead to her misfortune.

History

Tahlla was born on the ship, known to the orcs as Oshu'gun, as the Draenei searched for a new home. She spent most of her maturing age onboard these vessels being little more than a burden on the heavily-laden minds of her elders.

When the Draenei finally encountered Draenor (as they named it), Tahlla was reaching the end of her immature years and was on the cusp of adulthood. It was during the next few hundred years whilst the Draenei still occupied a prominent presence on Draenor that she became one of many members of the Draenei settlement, Sha'naar.

Her life within Sha'naar was like anyone else's who was on the verge of deciding their future role to play. When the time game for her to choose her path of life, she became studying the art of First Aid and medicine. Before too long she had risen to become one of the towns apprentice physicians, a position which, although trivial, made her proud.

Sha'naar's traditions varied from other Draenei settlements, much like they differ from one another. One tradition remained prominent throughout the ages, and that was to bond with others from other settlements, cultures; bringing in the knowledge to the village to keep everything from becoming static and archaic.

Later in her life, three of her brothers and two sisters, along with Tahlla, went out on a suitor expedition to the western regions of Zangarmarsh. It was this day the Legion, using their manipulation of the orc race, struck Sha'naar and almost wiped out their culture, several fleeing to the safety of the marshes and most becoming enslaved or slaughtered.

This left Tahlla and her family broken. The six survivors of their family, what they knew of it, continued to wander, settling down in Zangarmarsh for a time before separating.

Since that moment, Tahlla never heard from her family again. It is likely they still live, but where and how well, she does not know. What she did to occupy the time, not even Tahlla can remember, for it all seemed insignificant and fleeting.

Within the confines of Zangarmarsh, Tahlla sought tutelage under the anchorites who fled from Shattrath. She was taught a deeper knowledge of being a physician and also how to apply magical means into her mending. Although her knowledge of such light-imbued methods is slim and her application of it faulty, she continued her training and earned her mentors respect as a stubborn student.

When the Blood Elves sensed the presence of Tempest Keep, she and most of the other Draenei fled north-eastwards to the Keep and managed to escape on the Exodar. Upon the crashing of the Exodar, Tahlla was hurled and found unconscious by a lake not far from the centre of the island. She was nursed back to health swiftly and given leave of the care of healers.

Before she departed to seek refuge in this strange new world, she was gifted with an Anchorite's robe, despite not being an Anchorite; she took it out of thanks and departed Azuremyst with several others.

She took to the road with her companions, steering clear of both Alliance and Horde, despite the tension-filled truce with the Alliance.

She eventually, after overcoming her xenophobia, became attracted to the Stranglethorn Vale's roughhousing community where she could put her healing traits to good use, and the pristine orderly kingdom of Stormwind. It is now in the Southern Eastern Kingdoms where she remains to this day, occasionally boarding shops to Ratchet and Theramore to trade for goods and equipment such as bandages, herbs and remedies.

She remained in the Eastern Kingdoms when the invasion of Northrend began, choosing to stay and care for those initially assaulted in the Lich Kings attack. She was not a soldier, and she knew this. She would have put money on the fact she'd be more of a burden than an aide when the time for a fight arose in the snowy lands to the North.
