Appearance

Usual Garments/Armor: Tana has a full black leather set that carries her personal arsenal of anything a proper assassin or hired blade would need. Smoke bombs, throwing knives, lock pick, etc. She normally also carries a bow slung over her back along with a quiver of arrows, a short sword, and a combat knife.

Regardless of what she's wearing, if she's wearing gauntlets or gloves covering her wrists, she is most likely carrying around a hidden blade in the right gauntlet, and a flintlock barrel in the left. (Yes, think Assassin's Creed.)

Otherwise, she can be seen in many different styles of clothes, whatever is best suited for her situation.

Other: Often has a hidden pouch or compartment within her clothes where she stores her gold coins, aside from her normal copper and silver coin purse.

Personality

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Personality: Tana has a very free-spirited mind, never wanting to stay in one place, not wishing to be tied down to some marriage or child. She lives a robust and careless life, which has it drawbacks.

While she has been trained and honed as an assassin, she sometimes has guilt that follows her after killing someone she knew was innocent, or perhaps she was instructed to kill a woman who had children that were still young. She often deals with this and other stressful issues by resorting to drugs and alcohol. Under the influence, she can become very random and crazy. However, she doesn't kill for fun. Only when assigned a contract or if it is necessary.

But besides that, Tana holds a good humor at times, sometimes flirtatious with others. She can be a loose woman, however, if she is seeking pleasure or just your gold and armor.

She doesn't have too much of a problem with some members of the Alliance, however she won't get along with a Kaldorei at all. On the Horde's side, she treats them as expendable allies at best. Sin'dorei are at the top of her list, and they are the only people she will (knowingly and/or willingly) be associated with past the point of common friendship.

Regarding her values on her appearance, she's the type that will freak out if someone cuts her hair, let alone shaving her entire head. She holds a great pride in her figure, and will do many things to keep herself looking attractive.

She's also stubborn, and if she doesn't get her way, she'll pout or throw a hissy fit. Nobility has ruined her in this portion of life. However, she's a modest actor, and is able to mask some of her personalty and change it up to make a cover-up believable. Fake tears is her specialty.

History

Tana grew up with her sister, Shara, in the heart of Silvermoon. They were apart of House Mistfall, under their mother, Sarendae and father, Tellan . Tana was the eldest, therefore the heir to her father. Their family was heavily invested with the Sunsail Anchorage, their small fleet of merchant ships docking there daily and using it as their dry dock. So, while daddy worked, Sarendae was left to raise the children.

Sarendae Mistfall isn't your average mother. In her early years of life, she was trained to be a precise and accomplished Assassin. She had plans for her two daughters.

Firstly, Tana and Shara were well-educated by the finest schools the Quel'dorei had to offer. They often went between Quel'thalas and Dalaran to study for a few years before transferring back and forth. Their mother enrolled them into acting classes, hand-to-hand 'self-defense' training, and anatomy of Quel'dorei and humans.

Tana herself picked up engineering while in Dalaran, interested in how the arcane golems were constructed. She never learned how to use arcane, but began to read about the works of the dwarfs in the south. Tana was also proven to be agile in her combat training, and would later progress to train along side her sister in more advance techniques with real weapons. Tana began to favor a bow, while Shara stuck with dual-weapons. The two progressed quickly into womanhood, carrying along the traits of their mother.

In time, Sarendae had the two complete assignments that were sometimes given to herself for a portion of the gold. It would involve low-level tasks, such as stealing a certain item or planting a death note on someone while he sleeps. Tana knew what her mother was, but served happily on.

As the First War came about, Tana was allowed to begin to assassinate targets. Years of training prepared her for her first hit. It was a simple task, shoot the elderly High Elf while he was talking a walk in Eversong. She shot him dead in the back with a single arrow. Tana convinced herself that he had it coming.

It was only later that she learned that that man's son had ordered the hit, only wanting to gain power as the Head of their house quicker. Tana felt the guilt in her gut, and due to her lively style of living, she knew what would make her calm down. Drugs.

As Tana began usage of Blood-thistle, peace-bloom, and other sorts of drugs, her skills slowly started to decay. She was at the peak of her career during the Second War, but the Third War changed everything.

Tana and Shara were at Dalaran, attempting to seduce and kill a high-ranking official of the Kirin Tor for a petty grudge between a High Elf and a human. After they had successfully drawn the man into a bedroom, and slit his throat, they were about to depart back to Silvermoon before they were stopped. News had reached the city that the entire Quel'thalas region was invaded by the Scourge, and has wiped out nearly everything.

Heartbroken, the sisters ignored the warning and traveled through a portal to see what has happened to their homeland. They witness the aftermath of the destruction, and the lack of the Sunwell. They wailed in agony as they saw their father's fleet burning in the dock that they were stationed in, his capital ship sunk with him in it. Their mother was also found among the dead, killed twice because she was raised into undeath by the Scourge.

Tana couldn't bare any of this. Once they had laid their parents to rest, she spent long nights engulfing herself in drugs to fight off depression and her arcane addiction. Her health condition started to falter, but she survived the worst of it.

Overtime, she and her sister learned to sap mana wherever it might be. They would hunt magi from time to time, simply to drain them before their death. Their House's gold was almost all lost, and they needed a new source of income. Tana and Shara became petty thieves, hired blades, whatever that would pay. They ended up traveling to the goblin town of Booty Bay to find more work with the Cartel there, and that's where Tana picked up engineering.

She was very interested in it, more or less for the purposes of the benefits it can bring. She studied under a few goblin techs for a couple of years, before she branched off to do her own devices. She created the hidden shiv that both Shara and herself use, along with the special flint lock barrel she is able to fire off one bullet at short distances. Devices like these made up for Tana's lack of true ability, however, when stripped of weapons and toys, she is quite helpless.

Cultists captured her after tricking Tana in coming to a room for discussing a contract. They banished her to the Realm of Shadows, along with a group of others. Sadly, this group held a good number of warlocks. Namely, Tavren Black.

Mr. Black chose Tana to be one of the three to be sacrificed in order to summon his Doomguard. Tana was stripped of most of her weapons, and easily fell to the warlocks' power. When she died, she lost memory blocks of her life as she spent time as a shade, which she also doesn't remember of.

Her already weaken immune system has been further destroyed, leaving her sick for weeks on end at times if she doesn't find aid. She always runs the chance of catching something terrible, which can kill her as well. More drug abuse due to her death and recently, her hair being shaved off by a revengeful woman who Tana had attempted to rob, is causing her to slowly die.

Time will tell if Tana gets out of this 'depression' in her life, and her career.
