Hiwasawa Shadeleaf is a Kaldorei Druidess known for her fierce devotion to her allies and causes, and is the current ruler of the Barony of Specter. Her sharp tongue and sharper blades make her a worthy ally, and a formidable enemy.

## Personality & Beliefs

With a 'take no shit' attitude and a spear longer than most of her enemies lifespans, Hiwa's a prickly druidess with a desire to do more than just running mercenary jobs for the rest of her life. She's a healer by nature, and wants to protect the people she loves. Above all else, she has a desire to make an impact on the world around her.

In short? She wants to help. She has compassion for most, if not all living things, and a dislike for undead and demons.

## Description

The woman’s black hair is in a tight braid, swung over her shoulder and curling at the ends. There’s not much of it to note. It appears to be well taken care of, at least. There are leaves braided into it, chosen when the leaves had started to change and fall and carefully preserved by druidic magic. A few strands are loose around her face, framing it slightly. She’s either given up on these little flyaways or doesn’t care.

Her face is marred by scars, the right side covered in the jagged lines. One goes across her cheek in half of a Glasgow Smile, stopping right at her ear. Another intercepts it, going from beneath her eye down to her jaw. There are several other small ones scattered around it. A few of them run through her tattoos, leaving raised lines through the ink. Her ears are as marred as her face is, jagged and cut in several different areas, with multiple piercings. The scars are a little lighter than her skin, which is a purplish gray.

Her eyes are gold in color and thinly shaped, staring out at whatever happens to catch her attention. Surrounding them are deep red tattoos, done in the shape of oak leaves. Her nose has a single silver stud in the right nostril, and is small and angular, like the rest of her face. If you paid close attention to her mouth, you would see the faintest indent in her bottom lip from where fangs press into it.

None of the skin on her chest is visible, save for her collarbone. There’s a Y shape carved into the flesh there, disappearing beneath her armor, which covers the rest of her body. Made of a mish-mash of leather, fur, and wood, it covers her fully and leaves her protected.

When she wears clothing instead of armor, it covers the same amount of skin. She's very careful about letting it show.

## Biography

Hiwasawa was born to a wandering clan with no true home. The official location on any paperwork she's filled out is Ashenvale. Her life was remotely uneventful until she turned three hundred, when events transpired that forced her and her sister to leave. There was yet another period of uneventfulness until she joined the Alliance and enlisted in the army after the Third War, where she spent over a decade in service to the Kingdom and the crown until she was given extended medical leave after a near-fatal encounter with demons in Draenor that left all in her squad but her dead.

This leave ended shortly before the Legion invasion began, and Hiwasawa was once again fighting for the Alliance, this time against an army of demons. Once the Legion was defeated, she finally retired, and instead went to do mercenary work with a few different groups, the most recent two being the Auroran Vigil, which later became the Forgotten Watch, and the Oathsworn Aegis.

## Titles

### Baroness of Revenant

Hiwasawa Shadeleaf is the ruler of the Barony of Specter, a small settlement in the County of the Shadow Lakes, located within Duskwood.

### Knight-Lieutenant of the Stormwind Army

Hiwasawa was a Knight-Lieutenant before retiring from the Stormwind Army. She dedicated a good decade and a half of service, and was honorably discharged after the war with the Legion was over. PTSD and severe injuries sustained during the Draenor campaign that never healed properly are the official reasons on her discharge paperwork.

### High Conservator

Hiwasawa was the first High Conservator for the Royal Conservancy, under the employ of Nothanios Leirelan.

## House

Hiwasawa is the only active member of House Shadeleaf. It is a relatively new house, and as such doesn't have much of a reputation.

## Relationships

Hiwasawa is one of two children, and the younger of a set of twins. Her twin sister has been confirmed to be dead, and was the catalyst for several changes within her life.

Her relationship with her parents is best described as estranged. Erythas and Raedia believed her to be dead for the longest time, and they have only recently reunited. This relationship is still unsteady, as Raedia does not believe that the woman visiting them is really her daughter.

Hiwasawa's romantic life is currently very private. And very sparse. As in, it no longer exists.
