Almárëa Ishkulbee

Almárëa is a Blood Elf Blood Knight. She had dedicated a lot of time recently to assisting the Shattered Sun Offensive at the behest of Lady Liadrin, until the Lady requested she endeavor to strengthen her ties with other races of the Horde, to become an emissary of sorts for the Blood Knights.

Description

Petite definitely is the first word to come to mind when viewing the 4'11" Blood Elf. However, looks are deceiving, as she is definitely not fragile or weak. Her waist-length black hair is normally restrained by either a loose band at the nape of her neck or by a braid, although the raven tresses are on rare occasions left unhindered. Her delicate features are normally set in what can be best described as an "aloof" or "cool" expression; she is not prone to displaying her emotions, although, if one happens to be looking closely at the right time, her glowing emerald eyes might betray a hint of her thoughts. Her skin is smooth and surprisingly unblemished, even by battle scars. She has two small golden hoops midway up her left ear, and one at the tip of her right. Up until recently, it was rare to find Rea out of her armor, but she has been seen an increasing number of occasions in various "outfits"...

Personality

Everything about Rea stems from her four decades as a warrior, as well as her upbringing. She is not ladylike by any stretch of the imagination; even if one were to catch her wearing a dress, she is likely still in a rather "inappropriate" pose in her favorite tavern. She is a regular imbiber of fine whiskeys, but is not one to become drunk; she prefers to stay clearheaded.

She is a very private person, strongly disliking crowds and not fond of being "overly social" ; more than two people speaking to her normally breaches her limit, and she really prefers one-on-one conversation when she is in a social mood.

Crossing her or one of her few close friends/loved ones is definitely a hazard to one's health; however, if you manage to somehow gain her trust and friendship, expect nothing less than what she gives others. Some who know her well might even say that she is like a mother bear due to the fact that she would give her own life to protect those she holds dear.

Rea's normally cool and aloof demeanor seems to be slipping as of late; one can catch her smiling more often and definitely in a more amiable mood than she used to be. She also seems more vibrant, more alive, one could say.

History

Rea will reveal information about her childhood and youth to people sooner than she will reveal parts of her recent history, and those who know what she has gone through do not blame her.

The eldest daughter of Vehiron and Raina Ishkulbee and niece of Rishk Ishkulbee, Rea was a surrogate son to her father and uncle, both of whom were warriors. Her younger sisters received basic combat training at the insistence of their father, but Rea's education went further. When she came of age and left for formal training, she fulfilled her father's greatest dream of seeing one of his children follow in his footsteps.

She met and married a mage named Dûrion Eruwaedhiel sometime after her 80th birthday.

For three decades, Rea was a simple warrior, defending the areas near her hometown of Fairbreeze Village from the random small threats that were common in day-to-day life. When the Orcs and Trolls attacked Quel'thalas, Rea was called upon to defend her homeland alongside her father, uncle, husband, and a few sisters. Luckily, most of her family survived; however, a younger sister and novice ranger, Vanya, was killed. Rea speaks little of the loss or of the sister; only family truly know of her.

When Arthas led the Scourge attacks on her homeland, Rea and her brethren once again were called upon to defend. Unfortunately, Rea suffered a greater blow during these attacks; not only did she lose yet another sister, a budding mage named Airethiel, but her father fell in battle. Rea speaks little of what has become of her mother; apparently after the news of Vehiron's death reached Raina, she fell seriously ill. She is either still in such a state, on the brink of death, or dead; Rea speaks of her as if she is dead, however.

When Kael'thas led some of her people through the Dark Portal, her youngest sister, Uial, her husband, and two other sisters were some of those to follow.

When Lady Liadrin introduced the Blood Elves to the ways of the Blood Knights, Rea was one of the first warriors to receive such training. Originally, she simply used the powers of the Light to supplement her already extensive warrior training and experience.

All that changed with the betrayal of Prince Kael'thas and his attacks upon Silvermoon; Rea was called upon to defend, and faced a grievous blow; one of the Felbloods whom the prince brought along for the attack was once her beloved husband, and she didn't realize it until after she had killed him. Only a few extremely close people know of this and what the guilt has done to her. After the realization of her opponent's identity hit, Rea found herself no longer willing to fight on the front lines, and slipped behind a group of comrades, instead suddenly focusing on supporting their efforts.

She has since avoided direct combat, especially against Kael's forces, whenever possible, and has become more akin to a priest than her warrior heritage. The fear of coming across in battle the sisters whose whereabouts are unknown, or other people she previously cared for, has engulfed her.

Recently, her youngest sister, Uial, has returned to Silvermoon, much to the relief of Rea. Uial's husband, Lomion, a Blood Knight, is often out on assignment from Lady Liadrin.

Just Friends?

Currently, Rea is dealing with the sudden disappearance of her uncle, as well as a fellow Blood Knight and friend, Arke. Their current whereabouts and status are unknown, but foul play is not currently believed to be involved, as both are the type to... wander. Another close friend, Ilspeth (Betty), is being seen less often. Judging by the strangeness of the young Warlock, however, Rea isn't overly concerned with this.

Rea saved an Orc Warrior named Necrous recently, and has since become friends with him. However, recently that friendship has changed into something more, and the couple is finally comfortable enough to admit it to themselves and others.

Rea spends most of her free time in Silvermoon, usually with her lover, Necrous, and usually in the local tavern, where she can be regularly caught cursing at the drunken barkeep, Rarthein.

Extras

• Rea is rather difficult to start up a conversation with.
  

  

  Rea in a dress sent to her by Uial.

• Only her family, Betty, Arke, and Necrous know about what happened to her husband. Some recent acquaintances do not even know she was previously married.

• Rea is rather proud, but more of her skills in battle than of anything "frivolous". She considers many Blood Elves, including her baby sister, to be relatively shallow and vapid.

• Rea has begun humoring her baby sister by wearing some of the various garments the young tailor sends to her on occasion. She usually acts uncomfortable in them, however, and prefers her battlegear.

• Even when in "civilian" clothes, Rea is always armed, even if it is simply a Skinning Knife tucked away in one of her boots.
