Category:Characters
==Name==
Maelyn (born Maelyn Tala'shaa, but does not use her last name since she died.)
==Physical Traits==
Pale skin that looks grey in certain lights, long whitish blonde hair with a silvery tinge. Fairly muscly compared to the Elf norm that gives her a slightly masculine frame. Sharp, angular features.
==History==
===Before death===
Maelyn remember very little of her living days. She remembers her mother, for example, but does not remember her name. She remembers she had a sister, but can't recall if she was blonde or brunette. Her memories are a hazy, uncertain fog.
She remembers clearly, however, her desire as a mortal to be something more. She did not come from a noble family, but always felt like she perhaps should have - that her circumstances in life were holding her back. She was young when the Lich King came, though she does not remember exactly how old, and she offered little in the form of resistance when he commanded her to surrender her body, and felt oddly reassured when he told her that she would become more powerful than she had ever imagined if she just agreed to do his bidding.
===Ebon Hold===
Her clear memories only start when she awoke with a terrible headache in Ebon Hold. Instructor Razuvious looked down on her, and to her surprise, she did not feel scared. She took the time to look at herself, a pale green hue darkening the pink of her skin, and her eyes no longer glowing green, but blue.
"Prove yourself worthy, Maelyn," is all the Instructor had to say, and she got to her feet, nodded solemnly and bowed before him.
===Death and Decay===
During her time as a Death Knight, she killed many innocent people. Contrary to feeling guilt or remorse, she felt liberated and empowered by it. She was finally getting the power she and her ancestors always wanted. She murdered, maimed, pillaged and stole, and she found herself relishing this afterlife far more than she could have dreamed. She thrived on the helpless cries of the living.
===The Horde===
Since the Knights of the Ebon Blade switched allegiance, she followed them, but hesitantly. She still lives to serve Arthas and the Scourge in her mind.
Maelyn cannot stand to be separated from the scourge. She finds the silence in her head unbearable, as she is so used to hearing the Lich king talk to her. She can often be seen talking to herself just to fill the silence. Although she recognises she is no longer a member of the scourge, she still holds their ruthlessness in her heart and often wishes she was still a part of them so she would have somewhere to belong. She sees the horde as a useful tool to aid her in gaining power.
