==Background==
Tariel was born in to the strict family of Spritewing, family known to have a special connection with the shy and mysterious faeriedragons. Her future was already planned by the Elders, no weapon training,this family trusts more in the powers of nature!.They would also learn to trust the light,allowing their members to become priests.
She lived her childhood years happily until it became clear she had a strong connection to the nature and its powers, she was to become a druid. As a youngster, Tariel was send to be an apprentice under one of her elders,an old and wise druid.
On her arrival to a distant place,far away from others of her kin,she begged her father not to leave her there,holding on to his arm until he pulled it away you must stay strong my daughter,we are dependant on the young of our family and you are lucky to be chosen by Myosoton...make me and your mother proud...my sweet Tariel.. a slight smile escaped to her fathers lips before he turned his back on her and left.
Tariel struggled with her own toughts,she wanted to run away,but something made her curious about this Myosoton. As she approached this old druid and introduced herself,he would only continue his meditation,not even reacting to a small pinch she did her frustration. For days,even weeks,his meditation continued,Tariel would sleep under the trees and find her food from the forest by herself,learning quickly how to take care of herself. She wouldnt pay no mind to the elder,but giggled as small animals would climb on him or when one of the many birds of the forest would land on his head,Tariel could only wonder...how could he ignore all that?.
Even without any of her kin around,Tariel never felt lonely. The creatures and spirits of the forest were always with her,she started to feel more and more connected to her surroundings. On a early morning,her elder finally opens his eyes and looks blankly at Tariel You have done well,your first lesson is now completed,gather your things,we are leaving to Moonglade
So would her studies under Myosoton start. After a wierd first expression,she would notice her elder to be more gentle and kind than a grumby old man. From him,Tariel also learned to take care of orphaned animals and the most important lesson,still guiding her to this day treat others as you would wish them to treat you. Tariels warm personality and caring heart fit perfectly to these teachings.
Her skills as a druidess improved quickly. Her gifts would be in animal forms,specially,in her agile and swift catform. However...Tariel lacks skills in healing,infact,in such measures her healing can have no effects at all,so better to leave the healing to someone else!.
For years,Tariel would continue her studies,until finally came the day when she was ready to leave her teacher and find her own path and aid Azeroth with her caring heart and druidic powers!.
She was welcome back home by the Spritewings with a long waited approvement ritual! She was trusted with one of the faeriedragons and given their family symbol,an silver amulet representing a small faeriedragon holding a crystal. As happy as everyone was,someone was missing...Tariels father. Her mother took her away from the celebration,worry filling her eyes. Her father had been missing for days after a battle in the Ashenvale forest,against the Orcs.
She told her mother not to worry,she would find him and bring him home safely! She took her staff and saber,riding across Ashenvale to try and find her dear father,only to see the cruel fate of a whole group of soldiers,killed,by the Orcs and left there for her to find. She quickly checked all of the dead,finally finding her father. He gasps for the last breaths of his life,smiling at Tariel ....take care of your mother...your sister...and brother....do it as a last favor...for your father Tariel refuses to let her father go and desperately tries to heal his wounds,but his wounds were too fatal,even if she would of been a capable healer,he wouldnt of been able to safe her father. Tariels heart burned from the will to take on vengeance,but she soon remembers her teachings,revenge would only bring more grief.
The family wouldnt believe their eyes on Tariels return,a sad ending to a long waited celebration. The times of grief still goes on in her mothers heart,slowly breaking her down.
In time,Tariels curiosity for the outside world grew,but she couldnt leave her mother and sister. She would go on tasks,for the Cenarion Circle,but becouse of her mother,she wouldnt travel far. Tariels mother knew she was hungry for adventure and felt she was only caging her. She finally gathered her strenght and stepped outside the house and demanded a meeting with Myosoton. She would demand a task for Tariel,that would take her to far away lands,so she could finally spread her wings. Myosoton nodded and told her he has the perfect task for her and send a crow to go look for her. On that same evening,Tariel couldnt believe her ears,she were to travel to Eastern Kingdoms and look for a certain huntress,working for the Alliance Cavalry. This was the adventure Tariel had been waiting for,but now she was scared and told Myosoton she wouldnt bare to leave her mother.Myosoton smiled and gently shaked his head at Tariel "it was your mother herself who asked this for this task for you..." Tariel felt confused,her mother had not stepped out of their home since her fathers death. She tried to talk herself out of it,but Myosoton kept his decision and send her to gather things she would need for the long journey.
With a heavy heart she leaves her mother and sister in the care of the other Spritewings and steps on the boat to travel to the big city,Stormwind!. She hadnt seen so many people in one place in her life! She had seen few humans visit Kalimdor along with dwarves,gnomes,but she never imagined the city being so full. She looked at the note Myosoton gave her,
==Involvement==
Tariel loves to meet new people,despite her shyness. She likes to listen to stories of other people and help them with problems they might have. She doesnt belong to any order anymore,but helps the Alliance against its foes (ehm...yup,i joined a raiding guild..)
==Strategy==
Tariel fights by using her feral forms and by manipulating the surrounding nature. Her natural healing powers are her weakest point,only able to ease her pain,momentarily stop bleeding or heal small wounds. It is unwise to fight her in the wilderness! As her powers are in their fullest capabilities,but in towns or areas without plants or wildlife,her power weakens and she wont be able to use certain advantages.
