Karrisend Coursemane

Karrisend is a Stone Guard of the Horde. She specialises in Shamanistic Elemental combat and is a keen Alchemist.
==Personality==
Usually the quiet observer, watching a situation unfold with a pipe in one hand, Karrisend has picked up many habits through her life that erupt suddenly from her if triggered by certain situations. A fine example of this, would be someone jesting about her size. Being short for a Tauren, and tired of the jests after years of putting up with it, they may be met with a swift fist to the face.
Due to years serving the Horde as a Stone Guard, and climbing the lesser ranks, Karrisend has aquired a low tolerence of stupidity inside a hostile enviroment, the ability to keep level headed in dangerous situations as well as being able to think on her feet. Although possessing the rank of Stone Guard, she reveals this sparingly, having no desire to flash it off as a status symbol.
Not being the most social of creatures, Karrisend often lacks the need to feel accepted within a group, often choosing to be a quiet outcast on the sidelines. She often feels no need to voice her opinion on trivial matters, though, when she feels her opinion is necessary, she will stubbornly claw tooth and nail to get her point across, and have everyone agree.
==Appearance==
Karrisend has mainly white fur, with black spots. This is the case anywhere lower than her shoulders; anything above armpit level is completely black. Scars can be found scattered around her body, the most noticeable down by her hip on the left side: a dagger sizes stabbing wound, where fur refuses to grow anywhere near, creating a large bald patch.
Karrisend has long, sharp, ebony horns. She has cut her mane back so it doesn't get anywhere near her face. Her eyes are a deep purple, and a small ring sits through her nose. She is by no means a sparkling gem of Tauren beauty, small bald patches around her face leave tell-tale marks of where her helmet rests.
Karrisend is usualy found garbed in mail armour, with a long cloak trailing behind her, and a dagger at her hip. Electrical energy can be seen hopping between a crackling orb, orbiting her person, and links on her armour. Around her waist, a thick leather girdle sits, housing four wooden totems that pulse with elemental magic. Once in a blue moon, she may be caught wearing a linen kilt, mantle and a wolf's head headress.
Although a fully armoured Tauren ought to be a intimidating sight, Karrisend looks almost laughable at 200cm, very short for her race. It is due to this that she rides a wolf and not a kodo. As from past experience, getting on a kodo makes her more of a clown than a combat able Shaman.
==Notable Past Events==
===Hellfire in.. Well.. Hellfire. (Pt. 1)===
Many of the Horde and Alliance forces had been moved from Outland to Northrend, to combat the more immediate threat of Arthas and his Scourge, leaving less defenders at the Dark Portal in Draenor, against its constant wave of Demons. This caused an immediate surge of Horde forces to be moved from settlements back to the portal to make sure they couldn't reach Azeroth.
Karrisend rode Whisper, her Frostwolf bitch into Thrallmar, she gazed around at the handful of remaining defenders for the town and let out a sigh. A surge in attacks against the portal made many of the remaining defenders be redeployed until the attacks died down. She rode Whisper to the great hall and dismounted, before striding in. She walked up to Nazgrel and beat her fist against her chest. Not a word was exchanged, but a letter was given to Karrisend. She bowed before turning to leave, breaking the seal on the letter. Orders. She sighed as her eyes drifted across the word "Patrol". Patrols meant leaving the town. No town means no walls. No walls means a reduced chance of survival.
An eye was cast over four Thrallmar Grunts. Two Orcs, one with a crude hatchet and a well splintered shield, hiding happily behind plate armour. The other with a heavy mace that required two hands to use effectively, wearing loose chainmail. There was a Troll, his robes flowed to his ankles, showing off his hairy feet. A large iron staff set with a magically enchanted gem was gripped tightly in his hand. Finally, a forsaken, bound in leather with two cruel looking daggers dripping with an unknown poison. Karrisend slowly reached a hand down into a small pouch of dried herbs, almost empty, before stuffing a Kodo-Horn pipe with a small ammount of herb and lighting it with a small spell. She sucks on the end of the pipe, savoring the taste before speaking. "We get to go far east this time, to make sure that the Legion hasn't got an attack force hidden away that could attack Thrallmar. We have also been requested to meet some Forsaken who've sneaked through enemy lines for some supplies for Thrallmar. Hence, we're taking the pack Kodo." If eyes could groan, they may have rivaled the sound of Arthas' army of undead. Shifty glances betrayed how uneasy the group where, forcing Karrisend to stomp a hoof down hard. "But yes... Keeping Thrallmar safe is pointless if we'll all starve anyway. I have some water, gift of the mages, and as for food, we'll just have to hunt some Boar." Karrisend snorted before continuing, "Now, go make ready, I'll plan our route, and hopefully, we'll leave with light." The four Grunts beat their chests, before scrambling to collect their supplies. Karrisend sighed, took another breath from the pipe, and went to pay homage to the Earthmother.
