Shandaris

Name
Shandaris Emeraldgrace

Physical Traits
Shandaris has a slightly odd body-shape, a long time on the brink between the beasts and the sentient world has left it's mark. Her nails are long, sharp and almost claw-like, her teeth are sharper, and her ears and longer. Her muscles are well-toned and her body full, while she is certainly not fat, she does enjoy to eat. Her leaf-green hair, once long, suffered an accident and is now shortened, yet she cares little for what hair she has, it is a tangled mess with twigs, leaves and other bits of the bushes she tends to run through stuck in it. Her face is marked with green leaf markings to match her hair, and her expression always seems to be slightly sad, even when she smiles, her eyes appear like a child lost. When she angers, her body can change subtly, becomming more feral. She usualy wears clothing crafted of feathers.

Backround
Little over three centuries ago, Shandaris was born, her mother a Sentinel and her father a Druid. She grew a happy child in Ashenvale, although she saw her father very few times as she grew, as he would spend his time in the Dream, or the wilds, she would always take her lessons from him when she could, and at times would bring injured animals she found in the forest to him for healing. Shandaris would almost always be looking up as she walked outside, and often would get into trouble, but she was fast and would always run. On more than one occasion she would climb to the top of a high tree and try to fly like the birds, this would always end in tears and broken limbs.

With the lessons from her father, she eventualy grew knowlagable of the druidic arts, a rare, but not unheard of thing for females of that time, she lacked focus and patience for most of her abilities however, and her training was slow. But with time, Shandaris was given the honour to speak with the Great Bear Spirit and not long after, the Great Cat Spirit, learning their forms and gaining new freedom to explore the forests of Northern Kalimdor. Eventualy Shandaris' calling became strong and for a decade, she slept in the Emerald Dream, only to be awoken by the call of Cenarius, the Third War needed the druids to fight. But Shandaris had been awake for some time, she had trapped herself in the form of the bear and her mind was damaged by this. Although the sound of the horn gave her some sence, she became fearful of the civilized, and remained in beastial form most of the time. Shandaris did fight on Hyjal however, she tore through demons in the form of a bear, and retreated as they became too much. After surviving the battle, she learned of the deaths of her Mother, Father and baby brother, so she went her own way to mourn.

Some years later, the Kaldorei allied with the Alliance, Shandaris found her way to Stormwind, and met with Kiva Brightmoon. The priestess of the moon aided Shandaris greatly, and in time, Shandaris regained her mind and began to remember who she was.

Current Status
Shandaris lives in the port town of Auberdine along with Kiva Brightmoon, she is the leader of the organization known as The Moonguard. From her home, Shandaris finds creatures wounded or ill in the Forests and nurses them back to health. She is still unsure about who she really is, and can be caused great distress about this at times as she struggles a slowly losing battle against becomming Savagekin.
