Personality: Tavares is staunchly loyal, firm, and unbending in her beliefs. She is a hard worker and takes a strong moral stance. She is generally reserved and truly not arrogant in any manner though she is not above mocking and/or joking around with her opponents. She doesn't kill for no reason, but when it is the only course of action, she will not grief over it for long.

She has an over-active imagination and gets carried away thinking of implausible scenarios and she often finds herself day-dreaming or zoned out.

Tavares likes to think she is very charming and voluptuous. She tries to use this to her advantage, especially once something has caught her curiosity or she craves something.

History: Born in the capital city of Kul Tiras, Tavares was a noble lady. Her family was quite wealthy and she spent much of her childhood with friends and family, who were extremely supportive. Her life was very calm and it was not long before the wars against the orcs started.

Her father and brothers went off to the war, while her and her mother stayed at home and took care of their vast wealth. Her mother decided to hire one of the local mages to tutor Tavares in the arcane arts. It was the beginning of her life as a mage.

Serilus, her tutor, was an fire-specialized mage. She was quite the learner and it wasn't long before she was casting her own spells and even imagining her own. She spent her late teens fighting off the increasing numbers of murlocs and naga, while at the same time helping the local guard remove the pirates hiding on shore. She continued her work for Kul Tiras, until the Third War and the Scourge. She was conscripted into one of the ships headed north to aid against the Scourge threat.

Unfortunately, most of the fleet was destroyed and she found herself sitting below deck on her way to a new land... Kalimdor, under the leadership of Jaina Proudmoore, daughter of the Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore. Next thing she knew, she was killing demons alongside orcs, tauren, trolls and even the other kingdoms of humans. Although she wasn't excited about working with the Horde, she hid her pride and decided the demons were first.

She managed to come out of the war physically unscathed, but her mind was weakened. She had witnessed a true, bloody war and she was scared about the demons and the power they possessed. She spent the next several years travelling from city to city, trying to help where she could. She arrived in Stormwind City and found herself in the Slaughtered Lamb.

She heard hushed talk of powers and saw cloaked figures in the Lamb. Curiosity piqued at her and she soon found herself to be a regular. Until she started accepting drinks from a young man. They got to talking and found that this young man, Aaron, was an arcanist who worked with a small group. He offered to bring her to their next meeting, which just so happened to be that evening.

She wasn't sure if she was amazed or disgusted about how the coven figured out how to bend the demons to their will and use energy from the Shadow Realm. It certainly gave them an edge against demons and their folk, but it seemed to be a very hush, hush sect of spellcasting. Her thoughts on the demons and her friends who died in the war, she figured that she could use all the power against these creatures she could get her hands on. She spent several months learning the art of shadow and flame and eventually was able to summon and contain demons. Although, she disliked the idea of controlling them, she became aware that the demons under her control could be of use to her. She concentrated mainly on the ability to wield shadow, until she had no trouble summoning its energies.

Once the war against the Scourge started, she took the first boat she could out to Northrend and quickly joined the Argent Crusade, where she had heard her magics were atleast tolerated. She spent most of her time fighting off the ice trolls in Zul'Drak. Once the Lich King was defeated, she returned to the mainland and began to travel, learning more of her art.
