Shanura

Physical Traits
As far as human females went, Shanura was the pretty run-of-the-mill sort. She was an average weight, and at an inch or two over five foot, pretty short. Her hair was dark brown and had a natural kink, causing it to flick upwards in odd places and frame her face, which was fairly well proportioned. Due to her slight build, she wore simple robes both on and off-duty, and carried a small dagger as her main weapon. Her biggest saving grace was the fact that she was smiling a good chunk of the time, and her body language made her appear approachable.

Occupation
Shanura is a recently-made Sergeant Major of the Stormwind Guard, also carrying the title of Surgeon General. When off-duty, she likes to tinker with engineered gnomish gadgets, although that never quite seems to go to plan. Shanura genuinely enjoys her job, and is happy to help. However, sometimes she can take a failure to heart, and beat herself up over it when there was likely nothing that could be done. She also seems to enjoy working night shifts.

Family
Shanura is happily married to one of the Guard Sergeants, Ramilias, and her family includes two children and an influx of pets. Due to some recent happenings in the City, there was two more kids being taken under Shanura's wing and being moved into the house. She also considered the Guard as her extended family, and had a tendency to act like an aunty figure for the lower ranks.

Background
Shanura grew up with her mother in Elwynn forest, and they were both poor but happy. She learnt how to sew, and worked odd-jobs until the age of sixteen, when she began to train as a priest. After her sheltered peasant lifestyle in the forest, Shanura muddled along and eventually got her bearings, discovering her fascination with technology and magic as she went. From there, Shanura's re-tellings of her life get vaguer still 'I met my husband, got a nice house, had some kids, got a good job...' - The reason why she had no magic to her name is never quite explained. There were also some contradictions. Where did a normal woman learn to clean gore off the walls without turning a hair? If she was sheltered all her life, where did she learn to feel proper emphaty? But maybe she would tell you if she trusted you enough. And was slightly drunk on top of that.

Criminal Record
Shanura's done a few things she isn't proud of, but backs up her argument with the 'Good intentions' she had while doing it. Other things she knows she has no excuse for, and her job is something she hopes to use to make up for it.

Personality
Essentially, shanura was a softie. She was the sort who enjoys looking after others, and seemed to worry and fret more than the average person. She could never turn her back on somebody who really needed help, just one of the consequences of this being the additional two children in her house. Not that she minds, of course. While she seemed like a bit of a coward by herself, she would never turn tail and run if there was somebody else in danger, and she was mainly cheerful and friendly. Oddly, she seemed to have low self-esteem - She worries that she might be annoying people, and never seemed comfortable with people making a fuss over her. She also had a tendency to take things to heart, and feel guilty over something she likely couldn't do anything about. Injured recruits or friends is also taken like a personal insult, and such a thing can make her turn reckless in a fight.

Random points of interest

 * After being denied everything from lack of money as a child, Shanura has a childish streak. Her birthday present request for her husband was a papper zepplin, which is now one of her most prized possesions.
 * Another effect from her childhood is her warped relationship with clothes - After wearing recycled sheets her entire life, Shanura can't wear anything less than a hugely expensive, tailored robe now that she has the money for it.
 * She likes to give mounts and other creatures names, usually unsuitable. Her mechanostrider is called 'Jeremy', and the two gryphons outside her house are named 'Percy' and 'Mrs. Percy' respectively.
 * When dealing with criminals, Shanura changes depending on who she's dealing with. Sometimes she'll be sympathetic, sometimes angry, and occasionally, slightly infuriating. No matter what though, she would never go against the Lawbook.
