Background
Avelyne spent most of her childhood in Dalaran, except for two years in Ironforge following the Third War. She joined the Church in Stormwind as a student priestess at the age of fifteen, graduating three years later.

Family Background
Accepted as the only child of a wealthy Dalaran mage, Avelyne had a comfortable upbringing and a good education. Her immediate family survived the Scourge's destruction of her home city and fled to Stormwind. She suffered few hardships and little trauma in her life, compared to most children on Azeroth, something she does seem to be very aware of. When she neared adulthood and was safe in the care of the Church, beginning her studies, her parents travelled north again to rejoin the surviving Dalaran mages. They now reside in the relocated Dalaran and are sure to keep in touch with their daughter.

One unwelcome development in her life was the emergence of the Scourge necromancer Aodhan Burnell as a likely candidate for her biological father. She has a certain resemblance to the man, who was friends with her mother while he was still a student in Dalaran. Either her mother's husband is happily ignorant of this, or he pretends not to know. Whatever the case may be, Avelyne considers Jareth her true father, being the man who was there and who showed her love and attention for her entire life. She was not overly fond of Aodhan, met him only a few times and mourned his death only briefly. She found he was a necromancer after he was killed and the revelation hardly improved her opinion of him.

Criminal Record
None.

Personal Notes
Although having the intelligence and parental encouragement to study the arcane and become a competent mage, she has rejected her parents' profession to enter the Church, following her vocation to become a priestess.

She is a strong-willed woman who believes in her own abilities. Individuals who acted against Aodhan concealed certain information from her for some time, considering it in her best interests. She was mildly insulted by this but knew better than to cause even more trouble, showing a restraint that comes of years in the Church.

Spells and Abilities
Avelyne favours spells that shield those in danger and call down the power of the Light to harm enemies. She is a small young woman who has not lived an especially active life and her fitness and strength leave much to be desired, thus she relies on her magic.

Current Status
Having recently completed her novitiate, adjusting to her new role as a fully-fledged priestess.
