Name: Vaelitha Skysong
Class: Priestess of the Moon.
Physical Description: Vaelitha is tall and slender, as is common among Kaldorei females. Her once bright hair has become pale with age, and her face holds a few lines of care and worry. She is not sure exactly how many years she has seen, the centuries blur into one after the first few, but she is close to having seen 10,000.
Family: Vaelitha has no surviving family. Her brother and sister, along with her father, died in the Great Sundering, leaving only her and her mother. It was in the Third War that her mother died, leaving her alone. She has no life partner, nor children.
Background: Parts of Vaelitha's history are rife with speculation, not much being known of her for long periods. It is known that she was but a child at the time of the Sundering, and only recalls earthquakes, devastations and great pain and tragedy. After this time, she followed in her mother's footsteps and became a Priestess of the Moon and excelled in her studies and learning. Not long after completing her training and taking on the mantle of a fully fledged Priestess, she became friends with a Druid who was preaching a new form of reverence and worship- towards Elune's consort, Malorne.
Persuaded by her new companion, she looked into this new faith and decided it was worthy and so took it upon herself to learn more, being mentored by the Druid she befriended and later becoming acolyte to one of the Elder Priestesses. It is entirely possible that Vaelitha and this Druid became romantically involved, but this is not confirmed due to their private nature.
When the Druids fell into their long slumber, Vaelitha returned to help her mother and immersed herself in her priestly studies. Not much is known of this time in her life, as she tended to travel alot, acting as an emissary on behalf of the Sisters of Elune. Even in this time of the Long Vigil, she was known to speak of Malorne and the teachings she had learnt and upheld.
At the War of the Shifting Sands, Vaelitha left the role she had taken, to heal and support the Druids and Sentinels as they fought the battle in Silithus. Her former mentor had been awoken from the Emerald Dream and she worked tirelessly with him, and all the others that had gathered. It was here that tragedy struck, as it did so many others, and her mentor was slain.
Vaelitha took this death badly, and spent many long years in solitude, contemplating and praying to Elune, and Malorne. Looking for guidance and answers.
When Archimonde and his demons descended on Nordrassil, Vaelitha pulled herself from her long depression and took up her priestly skills to aid and bolster the armies that came to stop the onslaught of the Demons bent on the destruction of the World Tree. The success in defeating Archimonde and his forces, and the terrible losses incurred (including the death of her beloved mother) brought Vaelitha fully from her lethargy, and she resumed her duties as a Priestess.
It is only recently she has decided to seek out the followers of Malorne, after hearing rumours of their resurgence, and reaffirm her place in The Way.
Personal Notes: Vaelitha is a proud Kaldorei, having seen an age of changes and tragedy befall her people and herself. She is fiercely protective of her people's traditions and origins, but this passion is coupled with a sense of calm and serenity. Always viewing the world with compassion and reason, hand-in-hand with her almost strict adherence to tradition, makes her a formidable ally.
