Sorcerer Brian Rimeshade
== Background ==
Essentially a minor spirit of water who watched over the northern coasts of Quel'danas.
Due to the lack of any Shaman or spiritualists withing Sin'dorei society she spent most of her days chasing fish and tormenting lost murlocs, whilst cursing Shamans for not setting off on a pilgrimage to her domain and cursing the Elves for leaving her to languish there.
She slumbered during the Scourge invasion, awaking to see the devastation and demons wandering the Isle.  Delirious and slightly unhinged at her centuries long solitude and slightly influenced by the Arcane taint in the water she had been a part of, cuased by the Sunwell's nearby presence she deluded herself into thinking her mere act of cursing the Elves had resulted in their plight.
Needless to say her elation was short-lived when she realised the fel taint the demons brought with them was slowly corrupting her, in desperation she cast around for anyone to bind herself to.
It was during this time that the Sorcerer Brian Rimeshade was serving in the area as a part of the Dagger and Totem clan.  His contact with the Shamans of that clan and his research into the magic of Shamanism had given him a slight insight into their view of the Elements, so when he heard what appeared to be a wave in the sea speaking to him, he waded in closer to listen...
"Psst, you, Elf!"
Rimeshade looked around, "Me?"
"Of course you you lily livered piece of Kodo droppings, get over here!"
The Elf waded into the water and placed an ear close to the "wave".
"Ugh, filthy, Arcane user?  And an Elf...you'll have to do though, I've no time!"
The Elf stood grinning slightly, whilst his eyes darted around looking for some way to get out of this.
"Uh...good, um, wave?  Just you, uh, stay there..."
"No!  No time!"
With that the "wave" rose up, coalessed into a vaguely humanoid form and tossed a sapphire amulet to the Elf who grabbed it.  The creature broke into millions of droplets and spiralled into the Amulet, commanding the Elf to put it on.
The Elf struggled to resist but he was in the Elemental's domain, so there was little he, a non-Shaman could do to resist, placing the Amulet around his neck he shivered slightly.
"Right, excellent, now I don't like you and you don't like me..."
"I don't know you, you might be ok.." the Elf muttered.
"Well, I don't like you but needs must, you get me to a Shaman, one who isn't picky too, I still stink of Arcane and I think an iota of Fel got into me too.  So get me a Shaman, preferrably a young one who hasn't found one of my brethren or sistren to harrass, ok?  GO!"
Since that day the pair have been together, bickering and arguing.  Most Shaman recoiled at the creature, an Elemental who claimed natural lineage yet was tainted by the Arcane and the Fel.  Even after the creature was purged of the Fel that infected it most Shaman wouldn't touch it.
So "Umi", as the creature chose to be called has spent most of the time with the one person she can even call a "friend", an Elven Sorcerer with a sometimes tenuous grasp on reality.
