Karina

Name: Karina della Crue ((also known as Kareena della Crue))

Physical Traits: young, strong woman with Latino features - dark short cropped hair, pale skin, and with sparkling eyes that see more than she lets on. Often seen in adventuring gear, although she does try to dress up a bit when in Stormwind.

Race and Class: Human Rogue, has recently begun learning the arcane arts

Guild: The Order also works closely with Mordacious as a Private Investigator in training

Occupation: Karina has no fixed employment at present. She does errands for money and for her own ends. She's more interested in pursuing her training in both the rogue arts and the newly discovered arcane magics. She still is getting acquainted with Stormwind and its ways. She is a trainee herbalist and alchemist and is adept at first aid.

Family: Father was an absent pirate of the worst kind. She has a certain understandable aversion to pirates. He may be dead or alive, not that she would care either way. Her mother was too young, too naive and too wrapped up in heartache to be of much use. She found solace in a bottle of rum and never emerged. She was taken by the Scarlets and never seen again - presumed dead. Karina has 31 bastard siblings that she knows of through her father but has never met or seen. Her grandparents may still be alive.

Background: Born and raised in Booty Bay.The bastard daughter of a pirate of the worst kind - selfish, rude, cruel and absent. She only saw him 9 times in her life. She has an understandable dislike of pirates and their ilk. She was always taking care of her mother and their business from a young age. They ran a tavern in port for mainly sailors and among them pirates. She became adept with a dagger for self defense at a tender age due to necessity. She had attracted attention as soon as she began to mature. She learned to deal with situations in the tavern environment which serve her well today. She won't look for trouble, but she will stand up for herself. Working all hours to keep the tavern business running, she didn't notice that her drunken mother was being wooed by strangers in the town. The Scarlets wooed her broken-hearted and sodden mother to join them and she left without a word of goodbye or warning. Karina dropped everything in the Bay to try and find her mother. It was a long and difficult journey from the Vale to Stormwind. Along the road in Duskwood, she was informed by other travellers that a funeral had been held that very day for someone who fit the description of her mother. She is now presumed dead. She continued her journey to the city in pursuit of revenge, but has come to realise her mother had been dead inside for most of her life - but she still has a special hatred for the Scarlets.

Criminal Record: None in Stormwind. Known to what authorities do exist in Booty Bay. Investigated in cases of self defense and stabbings of pirates usually wounded in the throat or groin - never prosecuted or charged due to circumstances and lack of evidence.

Personal Notes: Karina can control her passionate temper at most times, but occassionally something will snap. In times of necessity, she can think on her feet and defuse situations with ease. She learned from years of dealing with drunken pirates that charm and over the top use of manners can amuse and deflect often escalating situations. She assesses situations swiftly but can often be a little too curious for her own good. She is fiercely protective of her friends, her new family as she sees them, and will often endanger herself where normally she wouldn't. She has a cheerful laugh and is often joking about. She is good at asking the right questions and often can pry information from people without them necessarily noticing or meaning to share so much. She feels at home in Stormwind - compared to the Bay it is a haven of safety, learning and sophistication.

Current Status: currently working hard to hone her fighting skills and arcane arts as well as her new hobbies - pursuing a romantic interest
