Physical Traits
Tangrim is a young man who has suffered the bad luck of having his hair turn grey very early in his life. He has some small scars on his lower back, but he will always have his back covered up. His ears have small puncture marks left from when they were pierced when he was a small boy. When times call for it, he will put in the earrings he still has from when he left his house as a young man. His skin is fairly dark compared to the humans from Stormwind, due to his bloodline coming from the desert of Tanaris.

Family History
Tangrim has a father, mother and one younger brother.

Backround
He was born in a small village in Tanaris, that lived off the trading of goods with goblins, pirates and many a traveller passing through the area. As his family's tradition required, his ears were pierced at age 6, at around which time he began to help his father with the trade business. His parents mainly took care of the horses and other animals left in their care while their owners went into nearby town to eat, drink, fight or just spend the night. It was here that he was taught early on the ways of taking care of animals, and tending to small wounds.

When he was around 17 he met a young priest from Stormwind, who took great interest in the young man and his skilled hands in treating wounds and illnesses. His parents were very averse to the thought of using magics, so when Tangrim made the decision to leave, they cut all ties with him. His brother was too young to remember his departure. Following the priest and learning from his teachings, from scrubbing the Cathedral floor to intricate enchanting spells, he would devote his life to giving life and preventing death, protecting his friends and loved ones with all his might.

The priest, who would be his master for several years, left one day for a destiny unknown and Tangrim has been waiting at the cathedral whenever he can for his master to return to him, even though a few years have passed. Tangrim has attempted to train himself further in the ways of the Light, but he firmly believes that there are still many secrets to learn that nobody can teach him but his master.

Family Background
The Aroa family is a well respected humble family living roughly to the northeast in Tanaris. They come from a long line of caretakers, but originally came from pirates who travelled from Westfall to Booty Bay, finally settling in Tanaris because of the nice climate and interesting people. After a few generations the pale Westfall skin color was replaced by a darker variety, though the light colored eyes and hair still remain present. Tangrim's brother, as well as his parents, have either blonde or grey hair as they grow older. They live off fees paid by their customers from taking care of their animals, or from the vegetables and herbs they grow or gather from the land around them. Tangrim is first in a long while to return where his family originally came from.

The name Aroa originated from his great-great-great-grandfather, who started a new life in Tanaris and adopted a more Tanarian sounding name. Tangrims original name is simply Aharra Aroa, but once he arrived in Stormwind people frowned upon his desert-like name, so he quickly converted his nickname, Tan (after the color of his skin) into the more Westfall and dwarfish sounding name of Tangrim. His friends will still call him just Tan.

Current Status
Tangrim lives where-ever he is at that moment, or in the Stormwind Cathedral. When not helping his motley band of friends, he can be found walking around Stormwind with his friend Thepol, aiding the ones who have lost the Light in their lives. If he's not about town doing that he can be mostly found in or around the Cathedral, praying for the save return of his master and his friends out in battle, or on the steps looking out over the square for any signs. He can also be found asking people for any sign of his master while carrying a glowing book he found in Outland, but is too afraid to open himself or lose sight of.

His best friend is a mage, who was always by his side in battle untill he left for a short break from all the magic. Tangrim visits him once in a while, playing simple games.

Personality
Tangrim is a gentle, cheery and outgoing character. Terribly naive at times, and a huge optimist. In his head he wants to be 'The guy who always saves the girl'. He's extremely protective of his friends and loved ones. Because of that, his darker side will not show unless you provoke him or touch his friends. Another result of this attitude is also that he always places himself behind everyone, and he will not show emotions very easily if they do not involve with something positive. He is also quite mischievous due to his need to make people smile, and that side of him goes even if there is no smiling involved, making him a manipulative sneaky observer who will use what he can if he must.
