Monikka Wintercrest

Name
Miss Monikka Wintercrest

Physical Traits
Monikka Wintercrest is rather short (At least, for an elf) and thin. Her attire is plain and simple; a purple harness and blue leather leggings. She wears scuffy, dull boots, and usually a hat. Years of pessimism and alienation have shaped her face, which seems to constantly look annoyed... or bored. Up close, you can see that piercing holes in her lips and nose (Possibly from an anarchic period as a teenager) are slowly healing. Her eyes seem to be duller than most blood elves’. Her muscles are slightly toned, though not as much as, perhaps, a blood knight's. Her voice sounds casual, and low. If she is speaking to anyone important, she (badly) imitates she’s from some higher class.

Race and Class
Female Blood Elf Rogue. ((Yes, IC too.))

Personality
Monikka is pessimistic and slightly sadistic (Heh, that rhymes). She is quite arrogant and usually couldn’t care less about someone writhing about in agony. She judges people on how long she’s known them. She calls most people ‘randoms’, doesn’t really care if she’s badass or not, and has a soft spot for baby hawkstriders. And snakes. She’s also a very bad liar.

Guild
(( Shades of a Radiant Tear OOC. )) Monikka has no guild, but was part of a now disbanded assassin's guild called the Division. Though she left before it was destroyed, her sister Tasmine and a party of death knights wiped out the guild, believing they assisted the Lich King (or Gniss, a necromancer, who in turn, assisted the Lich King.).

Occupation
She...collects severed hands and employs a Forsaken halfwit called Roberta Andrason as a servant while she travels Azeroth, if that counts. Formerly a (bratty) assassin.

Family
Mother – Unknown, deceased shortly in fire after Monikka (And sister) was born. Father – Ditto. Sister – Tasmine Wintercrest. ‘Guardian’ - Cairee Shtoo (Geddit?).

Background
Monikka Wintercrest was born in Eversong. Her parents died in a fire. She and her sister were rescued by the retired Cairee Shtoo, who was badly burnt during the feat. Despite the hideous appearance of their carer, they had a relatively normal childhood. Then when she grew up, she became an assassin for some reason, after long hours of training and lying that she was carrying on the family trade... Then more stuff happened, including a brief post (three days) as leader of the Division. Some other things were reducing her arcane addiction (Sort of) and hunting the Dawnbreakers. Then she fled after the place was nearly wiped out the second time, she found herself feeling better, and more relaxed. Then her sister was kidnapped by her fake boyfriend to join the Scourge. She has decided that life isn’t worth living, but it’s better than being dead.

Family Background
Not much is known about the Wintercrests. They’re just a normal Blood Elf family.

Crimes
As an assassin, she’s murdered a lot of people. Luckily she hasn’t been caught, but she prefers to keep quiet about her past life. She has collected severed troll hands (Although she has promised they’re always Scourge, I wouldn’t believe her...)

Personal Notes
Quotes: “Nothing is a coincidence.” “If a man kills his own brother, he’s not evil, he just has bad impulse control.” “I have no time to look tough in front of some random.” Random Stuff: Hates being called evil, probably more than anything else. Is in the process of writing a book, “101 Uses for Severed Hands”. Gets angry at Roberta a lot. Likes: Collecting severed hands, killing zombies (again), reading, thistle tea. Dislikes: Getting rid of the severed hands, mind control, crazy world domination plots that’ll never work.

Current Status
Alive.

Notes and Inspiration
I guess Moni has evolved over the years (Well, 1 and a half) I’ve RPed her. I could put her evolution into 6 parts: Loreloller (Sadly, being raised by Orcs didn’t work), Mary Sue (Immune to mind control, weird revealing clothing, crying for attention with a hole in her face? No, seriously.), Annoying little despie brat assassin (“You mean, like, World Domination?” *Then has a fit about not being let in on the plans*), nice-ish ordinary person (I finally grew up, when it came to RP), weird sadist (Collecting severed hands got pretty old, so I evolved her one more time. But I kept the severed hands!), and the alienated, down-to-earthy elf. So yes, I’d compare Moni to a Pokémon! I guess most of my inspiration for Moni came from Bernard Black, from Black Books. Though she’s not as...unhygienic (If you don’t count the rotting severed hands she carries in a sack.) and can’t be bothered with wine. I even found her similar to Arnold Rimmer from Red Dwarf. She’s not as obsessed with career/military, but when it came to remarks, I borrowed a lot from him. ^^
