KIRINA
After her parents died to a “mysterious illness”, Kirina left her family’s little mana farm in Eversong Woods, an area which was slowly, but surely, being taking over by the Scourge. Weilding the only weapon she knew how, a kitchen knife, she set out in search of a better future, and to provide income for her remaining relatives: a younger brother and a twin sister. She met the fearsome, yet kind Orc (turned Tauren), Waddell, while out questing – an incident where he saved her life, and, after hearing of her disposition, openly agreed to help her from then on. Help grew into friendship, and friendship grew into love. Their inseparable bond was questioned by all Horde memebers; however, grew to be welcomed.
Kirina is 24 years of age, and is the oldest of all the siblings. She believes her parents became too corrupt by fel magic, and lost control over it, thus ending their lives (not the “illness” story she was told). Because of this, she refuses to allow herself even the slightest degree more than what she needs of arcane energies, and is weaker in body and power than most of her kind. However, she is very strong in heart and spirit. Not being able to raid on most occasions, she focuses more on fashion and farming for lesser known armor and weapons; one could say she replaces her magic addiction for a shopping one.
To start fresh with Waddell in a new world, Tichondrius. Although her and Merlaina were not on the best of terms before there parting, she misses her sister dearly, and often wonders about Merlaina’s well-being.
Her interests are: Waddell, fashion, and herbing.

WADDELL (not actually contributed by Waddell ^_^)
Waddell, like Kirina, lost his mother and father early in life to the on-going bloody battles in Azeroth. His main goal was to then be a better, stronger fighter for the Horde more than his father was before him. He came into leading the guild Praetorian after the original founder disappeared without a trace, leaving all the responsibilities to him. Waddell, despite hating his new role with a passion and having no desire to be guild-master, led Praetorian with an iron fist and golden heart, quickly progressing it to the top as one of the most feared, and most respected, guilds in the land. At 26, he gave up leading after 3 long years to spend more time with Kirina, and focus on their life together.
Waddell met Kirina in The Barrens, and healed her before she died to the elite Alliance Outrunners. Despite the common feeling of distrust and fear of the Blood Elves by the rest of the Horde races, Waddell sensed something more true and genuine about her, and defends her whole-heartedly in the face of prejudice. He supports her fashion addiction, and often solicits her creative help to others.
Recently, he turned to the race of the Tauren to better fight for the Horde. As things have been settling down with Kirina and himself, he has also come back into leading Praetorian – saving the guild from practically crumbling away. However, with the declining status of others’ abilities and dedication, Waddell, now 27, decided to start fresh in a new world, and he left Praetorian to start a small guild of friends, HeroStatus, on Tichondrius, bringing Kirina along with him.
His interests are: Kirina, “Pwning N00bs”, making money

MERLAINA
When her twin sister Kirina left her and her brother behind to explore Azeroth on her own, and later, to stay with Waddell, Merlaina’s anger and jealously compelled her to become a Death Knight for the Lich King. She was never afraid of using the magic she needed, and then some, as a Blood Elf, and the runic powers brought forth from her later decision filled her weary soul completely. Even after the Battle at Light’s Hope, she has problems breaking free of the Lich King’s control, being somewhat satisfied by the dark conscience that flows through her. Knowing that she’ll be more powerful than Kirina could ever hope to be is part of what fuels her to continue with its bidding.
Merlaina’s anger stems from being left in Eversong Woods, instead of leaving with her sister as she would have liked. She is jealous over Kirina’s success and her relationships with others – especially Waddell, and does as much as she can to break them apart. Merlaina chooses to have limited contact with her twin, hating the compassion she feels to want to speak to her. She hates fashion; however, does wear some outfits if Waddell asks her to do so…using these brief encounters to attempt to seduce him away from Kirina.
Kirina’s move to a different realm struck Merlaina hard. While she enjoyed making her sister’s life full of drama, Merlaina now finds herself fighting off a growing sense of loneliness and depression. She subconsciously follows in her sisters footsteps by dedicating more time to Kirina’s favorite past time, fashion, and starts to show off a couple of her own outfit creations…almost as a way to cope with the absence of her sister.
Her interests are: Serving the Lich King, being a trouble-maker for attention

KAMALIA & FRIENDS
Kamalia and her sisters grew up roaming the peaceful green plains and meadows of southern Mulgore. Kamalia had always been fascinated by the power of the elements, as manifested in summer thunderstorms and rushing mountain streams, so when the time came for her to pass through the Rites of the Earthmother, she chose the path of the shaman. She adventured with her cousin Ronada, a feral druid, and quickly fell into the role of healer. Three of her five younger sisters have come of age and chosen their paths: Kerisa the balance druid, Ketura the hunter, Keija the warrior. Kamalia’s two youngest sisters, Kaohana and Karelia, are not satisfied with any of the traditional paths of the Shu’Halo (they will be a priest and a paladin, respectively, after the Cataclysm comes). Kamalia has recently found herself in the position of mentor and counselor to a young Tauren death knight of the Grimtotem tribe. Chosen through intense competition among the Grimtotem youth to be one of those sent by Magatha to receive the promised power of the Elder Crone’s mysterious allies, Kregga Grimtotem came to Acherus and served Arthas loyally, but after the Battle of Lights Hope Chapel, she felt betrayed from all sides and is now seeking to rediscover herself and re-establish her connection to the Earthmother.
One day, while running errands in Silvermoon City after battling the Burning Legion on the Isle of Quel’Danas, Kamalia met an elf whose family name was, surprisingly, the same as her own tribe name. Intrigued, the two struck up a friendship, which soon extended to all of the elf’s sisters and cousins. Kamalia’s first elf friend was the copper haired mage Kaelinda, who is a tailor by profession. Kaelinda’s relatives include the brunette paladin Kiraleia, the silver haired priestess Kimona (oldest of them all by several years), the platinum blonde rogue Kelisanna, the butter-blonde death knight Katelyra (who, before she was captured by the Scourge in the aftermath of the destruction of the Sunwell and converted into a death knight, was a hunter/ranger serving under Sylvanas Windrunner), the red-headed warrior Karieluna (who will come of age just after the Cataclysm), and the warlock Kalaneia, who is honey-blonde when she’s doing the serious business of questing but has been black haired and all shades of red-headed and in general any hair color she feels like while doing her more usual occupation of banking.
Since elves are generally considered cuter than tauren, you will probably see more of Kaelinda’s family than of Kamalia’s in my postings.
