General Information
Name: Bhanumati Tigerkin
Race: Night Elf
Home Server: Steamwheedle Cartel US
Age: Appears to be 19, if estimated by looks and by a human, though it's hard to tell with Night Elves - she could be over 400.
Class: Hunter
Level: 41
Talents: 12/20/0
Professions: Skinning (95) and Herbalism (90)
Guild: None.
Physical Description: Standing roughly 6'9", Bhanumati is slender and well-muscled. Her skin is a pale blue-purple and her hair is a jaggedly cropped and tied back white mane. She tends to have no fashion sense whatsoever, and her favourite outfit is shredded clothing better suited to other races in its prime. She moves with a feline grace, silver eyes shimmering as she watches everything around her. She seems to be on constant alert. Two roughly drawn purple stripes adorn either side of her face add to her already feral look. A large male tiger never leaves her side.
Personality Description: Far more feral than any Kaldorei should be, Bhanumati's time in the wild has given her a definitely animalistic set of instincts and behaviours. Though her catlike tendencies are often shrugged off by others as mere quirks, she does seem to lack the ability to truly understand the mannerisms and ways of civilization, and often seems agitated inside city walls. She seems to harbor some kind of grudge towards Kaldorei females, and will growl in their presence. She also does not speak, but does seem to understand both Darnassian and Common.
A Short History
Born to a priestess of Elune and a druid of middling skill, Bhanumati was orphaned on in the Echo Isles by a brutal troll attack on her family a little before the time of the First Azerothian War. Left to her own devices, she wound up being taken in by a tiger matriarch of sorts and raised as a cub. Soon expected to bring in food on her own, she fell woefully behind the other tigers in her litter. She lacked their natural weapons, so she was forced to learn. She learned the art of the hunt by stalking the local trolls, and soon became adept with the use of bows.
During recent times, she was discovered by a wandering priestess of the Light and reintroduced to Night Elven society - much to both side's chagrin and mortification. She was forced to leave Darnassus after what was perceived as an attack on Archdruid Fandral Staghelm and her subsequent humiliation at the hands of some overzealous and unkind Sentinels - they caged her, collared her, and renamed her Bhanumati, which roughly translated means 'Child of the Sun', and is considered an insult in Old Kaldorei.
She has since taken to roaming the world and seeing what she can see. And avoiding Darnassus at all costs.

Current Activity
Bhanumati can most often be found in and around Stormwind, watching crowds and trying to make sense of civilization. If she isn't there, there's a good chance she's off hunting somewhere, and will be back eventually. She sleeps just outside the city gates.

Other Things
- Bhanumati is extremely fond of the red hot wings sold at the Darkmoon Faire, and has been known to bite and claw at people to protect her stock of them. Stamp Thunderhorn is getting sick of her lunging over the counter to get them from his stand, and really wishes she'd just stand in line like a normal person.
- Bhanumati is also nuts about tonks. When the faire is in town, she can often be found chasing them around and attempting to disable them through pouncing, much to the chagrin of players trying to win the game.
- While the Night Elves were cruel about naming Bhanumati, they weren't so bad with Rasen - his name means 'good friend' in the same dialect hers is an insult. The large white tigress Bhanumati is occasionally seen riding got named nicely as well - her mount is named Avaia, which translates to 'hope and promise'.
- Bhanumati actually does own a suit of formalwear, but has yet to be forced into it for any occasion. It consists of a worn out tuxedo jacket, torn black formal pants (now a loincloth and legwraps), and a set of shoddy black boots. She constantly itches, often scratching with her hands and feet at the collar of the outfit.
- Bhanumati is a very cheap drunk. One glass and she's under - and she knows it, too. She doesn't drink often, consequentially. She hates the feeling of being at leave of her senses.
