Valhka s distinguished from other orcs by her Dark Olive skin tone and the startling Scars on her face. Cut into each cheek is a set of 3 scars that mark her as a traitor to any Black Rock Orc. Her right wrist is oddly shaped, the remenant of the severe and nearly deadly beating she recieved at the hands of her tribe of origion.
== History ==
Vahlka was born a child of the Blackrock Orc clan. For many years as she grew up she heard the name of Thrall wispered by her teachers, parents and leaders with fear and loathing admiration. When Vahlka asked about this "Thrall" no one would tell her anything, so one day when she was 16 she wrote him a letter asking about him. The result was catastrophic. The letter was intercepted and Vahlka was arrested, disowned by her parents, and formally stripped of clanhood in the Blackrock. Her face was mutilated with a knife used to cut her cheeks to the bone and she was sentenced to die. Her guards beat her and raped her nearly to death. Vahlka was dying on the floor of her prison cell when a party of Horde adventurers destroyed her former home, Upper Blackrock Spire. They took pity on her and a Troll Priest saved her life. She woke in the Orgrimmar orphanage under the care of the matrons there. WHen Vahlka was well enough, she went to see Thrall in his Throne room. She pledge loyalty to the Horde and Thrall took Vahlka as his personal ward, perhaps feeling responsible for her abuse and near death. Vahlka never took to the city. Many urban orcs discriminate against her due to her skin color and horrific scars. She sought the peace of the wilderness and eventually befriended a 500 pound Tiger named Whisper. They are very close and share a unique partnership of equals.
