Celessarae Sunblade's Profile


The Sin’dorei before you is clad in an assortment of rich clothing, seemingly thrown together at random from a variety of the latest court styles. The fabrics are expensive and the detail on each piece is exquisite. All of Celessarae’s clothing and equipment seems as if it had seen better days though, with many of her garments having holes or threadbare spots, some of which have been crudely patched and others ignored entirely.

One would think from her outfit that Celessarae was down on her luck, or a noble experiencing bad times, but further evaluation might lead to a different conclusion entirely. Her confident swagger, her sharpened blades at each hip, and the defiant look in her eye might lead one to the conclusion that the items she is wearing perhaps never belonged to her in the first place, and that the damage to the garments might in fact have been from the acts committed to obtain them.

Beyond her clothing, this Sin’dorei has striking blonde hair, usually cut long and allowed to blow in the wind. Her eyes are a very striking Fel Green, and she clearly is one to indulge in Fel or other magics as her whim takes her. Her ears are decorated with a number of golden loops, placed haphazardly through each long lobe as if worn simply as an afterthought. Her hands, arms, and wrists are crisscrossed with scars, clearly from years of swordplay.

When preparing for battle, she is also known at times to wear light plate pieces, usually form fitted to allow her freedom of motion. In fact, she moves so easily in this armor that you suspect it might be enchanted, or perhaps not as sturdy as it seems. All of her plate armor pieces have buckles on the outside, as if to allow for quick removal if the user were to be thrown into water. Her armor tends to be dented and rusty, apparently ill-cared for.

A full appraisal of Celessarae would lead you to believe that it is better not to question her too closely, unless of course you need some bladework performed perhaps. You somehow get the feeling that she might be quite adept at such tasks.



History


Born to House Sunblade, Celessarae spent much of her youth getting into and out of trouble with her various relatives. The black sheep of the family, she often spent long periods of time away from home and in the forests of Eversong. She eventually met a ranger captain and fell in love during her many adventures there, and many thought she would settle down.

During the scourge invasion, she and her beloved were forced to flee with other refugees to Sunsail Anchorage. It is here that her life took a drastic turn for the worse. Finding her love infected with plague from a vicious ghoul bite, and trapped amidst a crowd of refuges seeking to flee on one of the docked ships called the Golden Blade, Celessarae had a part of her survival instincts awaken within her.

She killed her love, freeing him forever from the plague of undeath. She went on to slaughter the ship’s captain when he didn’t force the other refugees overboard, and seized the ship. Taking charge of the crew, she opened fire on the civilians attempting to board the ship and had the mooring lines cut, freeing it. In a final act that few can explain, she used the Golden Blade to ram another ship called the Song of the Sun, which was slowly being overrun by infected civilians despite the fact that some remained onboard to fight.

Since that time, she has renamed the ship the Shattered Blade, and has become a reaver and pirate. Often working for herself, she has built a reputation for murder and mayhem. Recently she was contracted as a privateer for the Horde, and has been savaging Alliance shipping until the Shattering forced her damaged vessel back to port in Silvermoon.

Where her adventures will lead next, none can say for sure.
