Name

(Formally Ysen Greenacre)

Race
Night Elf

Class
Savagekin Druid

Physical Traits
Ysen is almost always in his bear form never showing his elf form only to those he trusts or if there is a great need for it. As a bear he looks like most other Druids of the Claw expect the features that distinguish a druid bear from a true bear are harder to spot. His fur is black and he has a white mane. His elven form is just as wild looking as his bear form. His hair dark and untamed, often littered with debris. He wears little clothing as he rarely has need for it, just enough to keep some dignity.

He speaks fluent Darnassian and can commune clearly to those who understand the growls and body language of a bear. He cannot speak common and perhaps chooses not to learn it.

Background
Ysen Greenacre was once a wise and powerful druid who was a proud defender of the wilds. Little is known about his past but it is clear that when the Orcs invaded Ashenvale during the Third War and killed Cenarius, Ysen flew into a feral rage. He changed into a bear and drew upon the natural power within him for one purpose, to slay the greenskins. Soon he forgot why he must destroy the orcs and eventually forgot himself becoming nothing more than a force of rage.

When the Guardians found Ysen and helped him change back he began a slow process of finding himself again. He started from scratch, learning to control the power inside him, the fear still in the back of his mind of what he could turn into and the urge to leave his skin and return to the wilds. Eventually he learnt to master his abilities again but the events had changed Ysen, he had remembered enough of who he was to know that it was no longer that old elf. He saw what the world had become, the dangers that threatened these lands and how the Kaldorei race had grown into an ignorant and selfish people. He made a choice to return to the woods as a defender, a soldier for the Wilds.

He soon developed the ability to coordinate and commune with the creatures of the forest to a degree he never had before. He had a particular connection with the bears, he therefore made the choice to keep the bear as his new true form. Eventually he was able to form the normally loner animals into a strong pack that were able to defend the forest from the orcish advance. To this day he and his fellow Bloodfangs live and fight for their home and survival.
