Mirithe Springleaf

Mirithe is a young, mute Ranger's Apprentice with short-cropped, chestnut-coloured, wispy hair and wide, attentive and somewhat worried eyes.

When she is not traveling, she can usually be found in Farstrider Square.

Personality
Although Mirithe is shy and can appear uninterested in other people due to her disability, she hides a strong sense of justice and a creative head behind her timid shell.

For obvious reasons, Mirithe has neither been able to communicate properly with others, nor express feelings of grief or loss through the dark times of the Blood Elves, leaving her a socially awkward, easily distracted and a somewhat lonely individual.

History
Mirithe was born in Silvermoon City to two individuals unknown to perhaps even Mirithe herself. She does not speak of her family history or their role in the first and second wars, but the young Sin'dorei's burning passion for flora and fauna hint at her having had Rangers for parents as well.

It was during the Scourge-invasion that an enemy blade sliced through Mirithe's vocal chords and chest,

and despite the Healers' efforts, left her completely mute.

She now communicates with sign language as well as writing.

Hunting and companions
Freyja's place as Mirithe's companion was entirely unplanned. During a hunting-trip to Mulgore for Cougar-pelts, Mirithe was attacked by a Prairie Stalker whose puppy she had accidentally gotten too close to. Unfortunately, she was forced to kill the female wolf in self-defense and, not having the heart to do otherwise, ended up taking the orphaned puppy with her, wrapped up in the depths of her cloak.

Freyja is still merely a pup in training who spends most of its time in Mirithe's backpack, but the bond between it and Mirithe grows with each day.
