Aggra is a Mag'har orc shaman from Garadar in Nagrand. She is charged with training Thrall in the traditional shamanic arts and, despite initial disagreements, the two quickly bond and begin a romantic relationship.
Background
In the novel The Shattering, shortly before the Cataclysm, Thrall journeys to Garadar to discover why the elements of Azeroth are so afraid. When he arrives Greatmother Geyah advises him to turn to the Mag'har Aggra, who tells him that he has toed the line between being a leader and a shaman long enough and that he will have to give up his leadership to truly become a shaman. Despite their rough beginnings Thrall and Aggra grow closer to one another, while he becomes truly connected with the spirits and becomes a proper shaman. Before returning to Azeroth Thrall and Aggra become mates, and since then Aggra has loyally followed her mate to the Lost Isles and the Maelstrom.[1]
Wrath of the Lich King
During the third phase of the Elemental Unrest world event, she could be found talking with Thrall and Gavan Grayfeather at the Throne of the Elements.
Cataclysm
Aggra was the captain of Draka's Fury, the ship that was bringing Thrall to the maelstrom, which was destroyed near the Lost Isles by the Alliance. When the ship sank they lost their "precious cargo", which ended up being Thrall. She then appears as a quest giver on the Lost Isles.
She later appears at the Maelstrom and is affiliated with the Earthen Ring.

Criticism
Due to Aggra being created for the primary purpose of being a romantic interest for an already existing character, as well as the character description above, she could be considered canonical version of a Mary Sue, a rather reviled character archtype common in fan fiction.
Quotes
Discussion at the Throne of the Elements
Aggra at the Throne of the Elements.
Thrall says: Would I be here if this were not serious?
Aggra says: I have heard you before. You are here to save your world; to learn from ours. Greatmother Geyah has charged me with instructing you, and as such, you will listen to me, Go'el.
Thrall says: I have told you to call me Thrall.
Aggra says: Yes I know, Go'el. Thrall is the leader of the Horde, but you are not here in that capacity. Look at you: At what you are wearing...
(Thrall is wearing, of course, Doomhammer’s Plate.)
Aggra says: You say you have come to seek knowledge and understanding, but you are dressed for battle. That is why I question you and your willingness to do what must be done.
Thrall says: My clothing?! Is that what this has come to now? We debate the merits of my clothing?
Gavan Grayfeather says: The clothing is merely a manifestation of a larger problem. I've no doubt that you are here to learn, but you must commit yourself both in spirit and in form.
Aggra says: The dwarf speaks the truth. If you wish to commune with the elements you must do so from the heart.
Aggra says: Your heart, your love for your land and your people is what has led you here. It was neither your armor nor your weapons.
Gavan Grayfeather says: Thrall, you must fully devote yourself to the cause.
Aggra shoots Gavan a disapproving look.
Aggra says: Go'el. You cannot continue to ride the line between Warchief and Shaman. The time will come when you must commit to one side fully. That time is fast approaching.
Thrall says: I hear what both of you are saying and am grateful for the counsel.
Thrall says: If I am to understand all that is transpiring, if I am to make a difference, then my devotion must be absolute. I must submit.
