Rurandra of the Fjord

==Family== 
Father: Grimbold the Bear
Mother: Natascha the Fox
Older Brother: Durran of the Mountain - Deceased
==Physical Traits== 
Rurandra is a rather tough looking woman with developed muscles without losing a typical feminine look. This obviously has to do with her harsher upbringing than most humans up in Northrend. She has pale skin and flaming red hair that is tied into a knot. Her face betrays that she is still young even for a human. 
==Character Traits==
Rurandra is a fairly normal human with corresponding views on life. When she speaks, her Common is rather broken and often sounds more like a Dwarf than a Human. She also is also relatively friendly to non-Humans as well. This probably has to do with her recent joining of the Argent Crusade. Though she can be friendly to these non-Humans, she does expects a certain amount of respect. Things she absolutely hates are old men that feel superior to her and traditional human-eating Trolls.
==Background== 
Rurandra was born in Northrend about nineteen years ago. This has earned her the nickname 'of the Fjord' since Rurandra doesn't have a true surname. Her family, which consisted of her father Grimbold, mother Natascha and older brother Durran, had their home in the rugged forests of Grizzly Hills. Because Rurandra's family lived close to the Troll city-state of Zul'Drak, they saw a lot of combat and Rurandra was forced to learn the way of the sword at an early age. At around the age of ten, Rurandra was already a skillfull trapper and had killed a number of Trolls, with the help of her father of course. 
When Rurandra turned 12, the relative quiet living was rudely disturbed when Arthas lead the armies of Lordearon through the whole of Northrend. The trappers of the Hills weren't really friends with the Lordearon but stayed quiet. When Arthas however, turned into the true evil entity that ravaged the whole of Azeroth, the trappers took up arms against the Undead hordes. Sadly, the people of the Hills weren't used to fighting large numbers of enemies and were cut down rapidly. Rurandra's family too took up arms, but was eventually forced to flee down south towards the Venture Company's bay and took refuge there. It was during these few days that Rurandra's brother Durran succumbed to the Worgen plague that had also been ravaging the Grizzly Hills. Grimbold was forced to slay his own son, an event that Rurandra still shudders to talk about today. Rurandra now at the age of 18 and in the brim of her life, decided that she wanted to see more of the world. Alone, she stepped aboard a cargo freighter headed to Stormwind.
When Rurandra arrived in Stormwind, she took up a number of simple errants but these all didn't make a load of money. Though it was never Rurandra's intention to become rich, she did want to earn a living and this was hard to realise with such meager jobs. One day however, Rurandra met a man that was recruiting in the Stormwind Trade District for the Argent Crusade. And so Rurandra got into contact with Umbert Ironshield, Commander of the Stormwind branche of the Argent Crusade. A good living and a good cause, Rurandra had finally found her home away from home. She quickly rose to the rank of Sergeant and spend a number of months on the northern front with Umbert's party. 
After the assault on Icecrown Citadel, she decided to leave the Crusaders and head back to Stormwind. There, she heard about mercenary work being done by Northwind Free Company and finally decided to join up.
==Family Background== 
Rurandra's family doesn't have a single surname but the members instead were named according to various wilderness terms that surrounded the family for ages past. Grimbold the Bear and Natascha the Fox had ordinary lives. Natascha first gave birth to their first son while on a trip near the mountains of nowadays Dragonblight. A few years later, Rurandra was born while on a similar trip but this time near the Howling Fjord to which Rurandra was named. 
==Criminal Record==
