Character Info:
Name: Katsura Sunarrow
Age: 160ish? Getting close to blood elf middle age, but hey, her birth records were destroyed in the razing of Silvermoon.
AU/PG/CANON/OC: Fandom OC, from the game World of Warcraft. Taken shortly after arriving at the Frostwall Garrison, in the Iron Horde's alternate Draenor.

Summary:
(Kat IS a PC in the World of Warcraft MMO; however, I have tried to downplay a lot of the major interaction that happens when one is a PC. Besides, it probably won't have tons of impact on her going forward.)

• Relatively normal elf girl, going about her life as a hunter in Silvermoon, caring for her pets and helping guard the city.


• Everything changed when the Undead Scourge attacked. Her homeland of Quel'thelas was razed, the Sunwell was tainted, and Silvermoon was sacked, all by the Lich King.


• suddenly everyone she knows is dead, including her family and her best friend.


• her bff came back, but he was a living dead guy


• they went on a bunch of adventures, exploring all of Azeroth and Draenor, including when the rogue Dragon Aspect, Deathwing, sundered Azeroth again and reshaped the world.


• Katsura continued on when Blackword became a recluse, exploring the new continent of Pandaria alone


• She did not challenge the corrupted Warchief, Garrosh Hellscream, directly, but Katsura participated in the Darkspear Troll rebellion against him, and helped many others place Vol'jin as the new Warchief.


• Promoted to commander, she was sent to the Iron Horde's alternate Draenor and ordered to foil their plans any way she could, in pursuit of Garrosh.

Personality: Katsura has had to learn to be tough--a delicately feminine elven flower would have died in the siege of Silvermoon. The knowledge that her mother and brother did is a scar that hasn't quite healed, as can be shown by the fact that she barely, if ever speaks of it, or much of her past at all, even if asked. She isn't beyond joking, having fun, or being playful, but business is business and fun is separate. Through her long association with the members of first Empire, and then Perfect Insanity, and her exploration of Azeroth, Katsura isn't quite as racist as some other Blood Elves can be. She'd be hard pressed to hide her distaste for trolls, her people's ancient enemy, and she isn't very friendly at first to humans, as they left her people high and dry at their time of greatest need. Though once she realizes that she is not on Azeroth (fairly quickly, here!), this prejudice will lessen to nothing. These are innocents who know nothing about what the Azerothian humans did, why should she blame them?

Katsura has a high sense of honor, even though it's of a a personal flavor. She also favors the underdog a great deal. Countless times in her adventures back home, she'd come upon a person fighting for their life, and it didn't much matter to her if they were Horde or Alliance, she tended to shoot first and ask questions later. She isn't above subterfuge, and some situations call for secrecy and care. Katsura does her best, but she is still a redhead--and possessing of the storied temper that redheads have.

By no means is she swift to form personal connections--after the death of her family it took Blackword years to get as close as he now is, and it's not likely that she is too close to anyone else save her other guildmates. The only family Kat has left is her pets, and if she can get away with it, one is always close to her. Being without them here, will have her starting out as somewhat melancholy, but not angry. (No one forced her into that hole, after all...)

Katsura has a healthy sense of adventure, having crossed all of Azeroth numerous times, and traveled to unexplored lands like Northrend, birthplace of the undead Scourge, and Pandaria, a continent of ancient mysteries and bouncy, food-loving panda people. Even she might describe herself as well-rounded, by now. She has learned patience through hardship, and feels like she's better for it.

If anything, her biggest fault might be that if she barks an order, she expects to be obeyed now and questioned later, which doesn't make her easy to get along with. However, she's perfectly willing to explain afterwards--or now, if someone decides to get in her face and question her. This isn't Azeroth, after all, even if Kat isn't sure how else to move forward.

Gem Considerations: Dioptase! Mostly what it says on the tin there--Kat has had to deal with a lot of negative emotions, sadness, and despair, and she has not dealt with it very well. Mostly, she's left people at arm's length, be they her friends or her comrades. Dioptase encourages one to live in the moment and bring calm, confidence, and self-worth, and while Kat has calm and confidence, living in the moment and accepting her own self-worth (beyond her ability to fight) is something that she really needs to do.

The gem is set into her chest, beneath her breastbone. The weapon she can call(eventually) will, predictably, be a bow!

Power considerations:
List Three Powers You Would Like Your Character To Have:

• Animal speech


• Elementally aspected arrows


• Enhanced speed (not the Flash fast, but faster than your average person!)

Katsura would probably not be bothered by the fact that she no longer had her hunter powers. She would be upset about her pets' absence, as they were her family, but she is used to carrying on without those she cares about, and so she would soldier on. Gaining power--well, powers are tools to be used. Kat is fond of exploration and would use them for that, and of course for defending those who need it. She can be a cold bitch, but there's a warm center to those she'd let near, and she's often favored the underdog in the past. It's not beyond her to help out the people who need helping.

Sample:This will date Kat, but this was the last game I had her at! However, she's not coming from there; nor will she have memories from Balamb Garden.
