Saeras

Physical Traits
Saeras is a Kaldorei, who appears to be aged around her mid-thirties (in human years). She is very slim with her movements being both graceful and calculated, she hides her deceptively well-toned body, knowing that the element of surprise is one of the best ways to be prepared for any situation. However it has been noted by some of her closer friends that her waist line has grown somewhat in the last several months, though Saeras does not know why (since she lost her memory, though her constant fits of throwing up in the morning have given some people clues to why).

Saeras has been said to have a fair-looking face, while not as beautiful as others such Nouala or Kiva, she has been known to turn a few heads with her appearance. Her sleek, long silver hair grows runs down to the below her, as many people have noted, rather shapely posterior.

Around her neck, firmly sitting on her lapel is a silver necklace which has a full moon above a crescent moon, marking her as a Priestess of the Elune. There is also a gold ring which marks her as the head of house Silverwind. The ring is forged in the shape of a Raven with a branch in it's talons. On inside of the band is a It is engraved with the words:

"Live your life as you will and without regrets, my dear sister.

D."

Skills
First : Saeras may not have as much "educated" training as a physician, but her experience in the army, as well as in the service of Elune. Has taught her how to bandage most physical wounds and as well as how to cure cure a wide array of poisons and ailments, however she has limited knowledge when it comes to curing diseases.

Combat-Trained Eye - When it became apparent that Saeras would not stop training to become an officer in the army, her father trained her in skills that allow her to judge what an opponent will likely do just by observing how they tense their muscles before they attempt to move or strike. While this means against most opponents she has an advantage, it does leave her vulnerable to others such as the undead, certain types of demons and exceptionally skilled opponents that can manipulate their bodies in such a way as to confuse her.

Singing - Saeras has developed a very melodic, yet quiet voice which helps when she sings for her friends. Ever since losing her memories she has only improved this skill, those listening to her seem to hear a deeper resonance in her voice, yet Saeras either doesn't seem to care or is completely oblivious to it. know it.singing voice and sometimes likes to sing for her friends. She knows quite a few songs in Kal'dorei, though she nearly always has to translate them into Darnassian or the common tongue.

History of Saeras Silverwind

Saeras was born into a small house of nobles that had very little economical or power within greater night elf society during a time of, largely unknown, political tension.

It was during this time that Saeras began, much to the disapproval of her house, training skills that would help her to enter the military when she was old enough. It was on one of her earliest expeditions in Winterspring that she came across the dearest of her companions…

During a ferocious blizzard Saeras, took shelter in a shallow cave, where she found a young frostsaber cub lying on the brink of death. It was so injured that Saeras could do nothing but take pity on it. Even as the frostsaber bit and swiped at Saeras, she rubbed healing herbs and applied bandages to its wounds. As the night drew on and the blizzard was seemingly abating, the frostaber realised what Saeras had been doing and began to lick at the wounds it had given Saeras. Saeras named the frostsaber Astore and until her death, she never left Saeras’ side.

By the time the Burning Legion began their ‘cleansing’ of Kalimdor, many years later, Saeras was a respected member in the military and given the rank of captain, as well as having command over her own unit. During the war Saeras’ loyalty was questioned as she was forced to make a horrible choice: join the forces of the Highborne or have the men and woman under her command slaughtered. Saeras’ troops joined the Highborne’s forces, if only to spare the lives of her troops, and committed terrible atrocities until, when chance cane, the opportunity to escape appeared. Such an opportunity arose when several of the Highborne fled after rescuing Tyrande Whisperwind.

After returning to the night elven army, Saeras’ troops were greeted with mixed reception. Some wanted to imprison, execute or banish Saeras’ troops for the atrocities they committed while allied with the Highborne, while others welcomed them back with open arms citing that Saeras’ troops had no choice but to ally themselves with the Highborne. After many hours of debate, Saeras’ troops were allowed to return to the military, though Saeras would be humiliated by being stripped of her rank. In the aftermath of the war, Saeras joined the ranks of the newly-formed Sentinels, hoping that through service to the goddess, she may atone for her sins.

Saeras remained in peaceful service to the goddess until the Third War. Between that period up until the present, many events happened to Saeras so I will not explain them fully now. However, the most significant event of this time was to meet a paladin who would become one of her closest friends….

During the battle in the Alliance at the base of Mount Hyjal, the Burning Legion along with their Undead allies relentlessly assaulted the defences put in place by the combined forces of The Sentinels, The Alliance and The Horde. As the Alliance base was overrun, the remaining forces started to retreat back towards The Horde’s base in order to mount a more effective defence there. A few groups of men stayed in order to delay the Legion as long as possible, one such group was Saeras’ unit. Saeras’ unit rained volley after volley down upon the enemy, however they were not prepared for the Legion’s counter-volley. From the skies, shrouded in demonic fire, infernals impacted on top of Saeras’ troops. As the smoke was settling, a lone infernal, pierced from head to toe with many arrows smashed Saeras into a nearby tree. As she was losing consciousness, a silhouetted figure stood over her.

Saeras awoke to find she was in an Alliance infirmary, a human sitting by her bed side, gently stroking a sleeping Astore by his feet…

Family Background
Unknown, since a lot of the Kal'dorei's history and culture was either destroyed or otherwise unavailable after the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

Personal Notes
Saeras has long since been named as the sole surviving heir to House Silverwind, since all of the other family members were (supposedly) killed during the War of The Ancients. This is a role she feels uncomfortable with as many who have either served or been friends with her have often meet terrible fates.

As a huntress, she has spent most of her life in the wilds, and does not like large settlements, especially those made of stone. However she recognises the need to

Saeras is dedicated fully to Elune and she tries her best to exibit the same love and tolerance towards all folk that the Goddess does while also trying her best to fight corruption whenever she encounters it. She is well aware, that not all share her dedication and does not try to force her beliefs on anyone. Even so, she is always ready to discuss or debate the teachings and virtues of Mother Moon.

Current Status
At the end of December ((2007 in RealWorld)), Saeras thought she was in love with her friend Arkanis when he told her that he had secretly had feelings for Kalanthe. She did not believe what he was telling him, until he saw the two of them together, in a position that suggested more than just friendship. ((OOC: In truth Kalanthe was just giving him nothing more sinister than a back massage.)) Believing that all her friends had betrayed her, Saeras snapped.

Writing off anything that the other two had said as lies, threw herself down the central shaft of O'ros. Luckily she had not fallen down a lethal distance, though it left her skirting between life and death.

Since then Saeras was been in a coma until she recovered, though with no memory of her past. This would have made her a likely target for Ashana, her servants and any of Saeras' past "acquaintances". Darthias took care of Saeras until she recovered.

Shortly thereafter, her memories returned after Arkanis talked with her. She has also been very active in trying to calm potentially dangerous situations to the Alliance.

She has been constructing a bow, arrows and quiver in order to combat Ashana.
