Segolia

Segolia is a Sin'dorei of 131 years old, trained in the way of Elven rangers, but prefers to list her occupation as traveller (or as some would call it, mercenary). She has spent time pretty much all over Azeroth, travelling around, performing this task or that for various factions. She prefers the continent of Northrend, though that might seem strange for some, the main reason being that her companion, as she prefers to call him, Hati was found there, in the Storm Peaks.
She was part of the Windrunner Assassins for a short while, though she did hardly agree with the mores of some of her colleagues, prone as they were to picking fights. So, when it was disbanded, she didn't shed a tear, and moved on. Not too long after she met the clan Dagger and Totem, helping them out in a campaign against the Wretched in Northrend. After having done the Stonetalon Trials, she is a Grunt of the Dagger and Totem clan, marked as such with two lightening shaped scars on her right hand. She has been with the clan for nearly two years now.
==Appearance==
Independence, stubbornness, and a disdain for most people are a couple of features that can be read from Segolia's face. She's got her red hair tied back with a bit of cloth, her green eyes scanning her surroundings, scrutinizing what ever she sees. Compared to a human, she might seem to be somewhere halfway her twenties, but of course, being an Elf, this number is probably far off. Rather, she is nearing 130. Mostly built like any other Elf, tall and thin, though hers in not an empty thinness, but rather the athletic wiry, of one who has spent years outside, hiding in bushes, running after animals, like she has. If one were to see her without her armor, this would show even clearer, other than the gnarled tip of her right ear. There's a circle of what appear to be bite marks, just over her left elbow, and some claw marks running over her abdomen, running down to her left thigh, to the knee. To the collection of scars recently two thunderbolt shaped scars were added, indicating she is part of the Dagger and Totem clan.
However, she usually is seen wearing her regular armor, which consists of mail, in some places covered with fur and feathers. Only when she has something very special occasion, or when she feels like a night out on the town, she will change to wearing a dress and leaving her weapons at home. Since she was officially inducted to the clan, when she wears her regular armor, it is often covered by a tabard sporting the two thunderbolts of Dagger and Totem. Segolia is nearly always accompanied by one of her animals, though most often by Hati.
She carries, at nearly all times, a big leather backpack on her back, though it seems it is most definitely bigger on the inside, judging by the amount of things stuffed in there. Whether this is through magic or one of those things that seem typical for a woman's bag is unknown. Between her back and the backpack is a flat quiver, filled with engineer made arrows, held up by a leather strap that crosses her chest diagonally, the strap decorated with a few small pockets, in which she keeps various little things. In one of the pockets there are bullets, in case she gets a chance to use a gun instead of a bow.

OUTDATED - Though she might come of a bit cold, as most Sin'dorei, Segolia really is not all that bad, once you get to know her a little better. If travelling taught her anything, it is that approaching unknown individuals or groups with a friendly face gets you further than looking cross. Of course, she too can be quite biting, especially when one gets on her nerves. An example of this is snide comments from her side when people interrupt a conversation she is having, that is not their business.
==Occupation==
Before she joined Dagger and Totem, she herself would have classed it as traveller, though she was on occasion more mercenary than objective traveller, having done odd jobs for one faction or another. During her time with the Windrunner Assassins her occupation could more accurately be described as spy and assassin, though her spying and assassinating was all very trivial, most often those jobs coming from grudges. Now however, she is officially a Grunt of Dagger and Totem.
==Animals==
Segolia is one who prefers the aid of animals in combat, and has several 'pets', if one could call them that.
===Hati===
A tall Worg, looking unlike the rest of it's kind, if he's an ordinary Worg, of which neither Segolia, nor others that have seen him are sure of. The Worg has deep blue fur, lightening crackling through it, though it does not seem to harm him or those he deems worthy. Segolia does not see Hati as a mere pet, but rather as a companion, and the Worg does indeed seem intelligent enough. Convincing him to come with her was difficult enough, proof of it written on her body in the form of an eartip that is no longer nice and pointy, but rather looks chewed on.
As to Hati's species, as mentioned before, one can only guess, though Segolia is quite aware that he seems to be something of a rarity, and of course he attracts a lot of attention when walking through town. Segolia has only seen two others like Hati, but whether those are related by blood, or if they're just the same rare species, or even a mutation is unsure.
===Turtle===
A quite large snapper turtle she found while doing some jobs near Tarren Mill, green skinned, with a yellow spiked shell. He was Segolia's first animal companion, and still holds a special place in her heart, though he is nowadays often left at the Stable Master, as the jobs she does often require a little more speed than Turtle offers. He does however gets taken out on occasions Segolia feels like doing stupid things like provoke Gurubashi Trolls. This is, though of course her other companions are strong in their own rights, Turtle is capable of taking heavier blows than a Worg or Lynx.
===Tia===
A spotted jungle cat, who she found in the Sholazar Basin and another one that put up a good fight before giving up.
==Background==
Before the fall of Silvermoon City, Segolia lived in the western part of the city, together with both her parents and her younger sister. Her father was a Priest for the Sun, quite devout, but not particularly good at his trade, though his preaches attracted a lot of Follower of the Sun to come and see him. Another place he like to preach, was at home. Her mother always was a quiet one, more of a housewife, presiding over the cooking and cleaning, and making sure their daughters looked 'decent'.
Segolia never really was the decent one, and she preferred being out of the house, somewhere in the Eversong Woods, in a tree with a bow, shooting things. Though she was proficient enough with a bow, she never even pondered joining any group like the Farstriders, which, to her, seemed too much responsibility and too little freedom. When not occupied with climbing trees and shooting things, she could be found either in her room at home, sleeping the day away or reading, or in one of the many coffee houses the western part of Silvermoon had.
When the Scourge came, she was old enough to fight, and so fight Segolia Lightsinger did. Armed with a bow she was sent to shoot as many as she could, a task she took to heart. When it became clear the battle was a lost cause, the few fighters left were evacuated too, to one of the later ships, which was to float out on sea until everything seemed safe again. Before boarding though, she commited an act that would get her stripped from her family name.
Her father, fighting off Scourge with help of holy magic, as he thought was his task as a priest, was circled by a band of ghouls, and most likely leaving him to fend for himself would have given him a new life, one of Undeath. Segolia made a rash decision, and shot her father, killing him. After this she ran off, to the harbour and the boats, and to safety. When after the attack everything came together, after some time of looking for survivors, and families trying to find other members of the family, Segolia told her mother what she had done. The older woman was less than pleased and decided to strip her oldest daughter of her family name, telling her she could go and live on her own.
This mainly consisted of the young woman to start going out of the city more than she already had, the nights she did not spend in the woods, or abroad, in lodging above a store in the Bazaar. During this time she was mostly occupied with hunting, together with a snapturtle she had found in the river, and running around the forests, keeping her mind as best as she could off the mana withdrawal all the, at that time still, Quel'dorei were going through. Like everyone, she too siphoned mana out of fel crystals at some point in time, turning her eyes fel green, becoming part of the 'new' race now known as the Sin'dorei, or Blood Elves, in Orcish.
When the Sin'dorei joined the Horde, Segolia saw this as her chance to get out of Silvermoon and see more of the world, which she did.

EDIT ALL OF THE THINGS
==Criminal Record==
Though she worked as an assassin for some time, she has had the sense to behave as normal as one can around those that enforce the law, unlike some of her former colleagues. It of course has to be added that most her time working as an assassin was spent hanging around Silvermoon City, where enforcing of the law sometimes can seem somewhat lax.
==Work==
*Works with Dagger and Totem
*Or with Goblins (Gizelda)
*EDIT THIS LAZY TWAT
==Trivia==
===Things you might know===
*Segolia is terribly afraid of fire (bigger than a bonfire)
*The sort of rabbit-in-the-headlights terrified
*Don't count on Segolia to lead or do anything productive during a big fire
*Fosters an orphan every Children's Week
===Things you might not know===
*Segolia killed her own father. Granted, this was a mercy shot, most likely saving him from a life of undeath, but it's not something she talks about.
*Her mother stripped her of her family name as a result of her killing her father.
*Her family name is Lightsinger
===Out of Character information===
*Segolia is dual specced: Survival and Beastmastery
*Seeing how a lot of questions are asked, in whispers, about where Hati is found, he is, of course, the rare spawn Skoll, found in the Storm Peaks. Not part of the Northern Exposure achievement and the loot he drops isn't all that spectacular, so should you see him, for the sake of Beast Mastery Hunters out there, do not kill him, but notify any you might know instead.
*Hati is, in Norse mythology, the wolf that pursues the moon, Skoll pursues the sun. The name was picked mainly for giggles.
===Alignment===
*Chaotic Good - January 2013
**A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit. Chaotic good can be a dangerous alignment when it disrupts the order of society and punishes those who do well for themselves.
​ As by the Easydamus' alignment test,
*Neutral Good - June 2010
**Neutral Good- A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
