Appearance

Aszera's Softer Side

Aszera is a pale blood elf with straight black hair that she keeps cut above her shoulders. She has the strength and flexibility of a dancer, and fights with the same grace. Outside of combat situations, she used to take great delight in elaborate and revealing fashions, and in the artistic use of cosmetics. These days, she doesn't often leave Northrend, and she's more likely to be spotted in leather armor, a red-lined black cloak, and an Argent Crusade tabard clearly visible.

Personality

Intense - Uninhibited - Caring - Pliant

Aszera approaches life with an open enthusiasm, rarely holding anything of herself back. She requires very little persuasion to run interesting risks or to be one of the first to attempt something. This is not to say she does not value herself or have a sense of self-preservation, just that these considerations are often easily sidelined by ‘oh, I want to try that‘. There are few lines she wouldn’t cross for herself, but she tries her best to make sure her decisions do not actually hurt people that she cares about. Her current circumstances have forced a tiny bit more caution into her life, but she doesn't take to it easily.

This character can be romanced.

History

In Aszera's early years, having no talent or patience for the study of the arcane, she instead focused on the more physical study of dance. Her talent in this arena allowed her some access to higher society, and she buried herself in the most decadent parts high-elf culture. She was a regular on the party scene, and became generally known as someone who was usually down to try anything new. Needless to say, she did not bring pride to the Sunstrike family name, and her parents (and older sister Syarra) tended to find her behavior exasperating and unpredictable.

Despite their differences, she and her older sister Syarra were close and cared for each other deeply. Eventually, Syarra (a warrior, at the time) influenced her to become interested in studying combat arts. Aszera threw herself into this new area of interest, practicing long hours and eventually surpassing her sister’s ability. As a result, though they lost their parents during the Third War, Syarra and Aszera made it through the chaos together and took the name sin’dorei with the other survivors.

Aszera's Soldier Side

When Kael’Thas Sunstrider called on some of the healthiest fighters and magisters to join him in aiding the resistance in Lordaeron, Aszera was chosen to join. Syarra was not. Aszera said farewell to her sister, for what she thought would be a short time, and followed the uncrowned prince. The assistance to the Alliance in Lordaeron soon went awry and Aszera followed Sunstrider to Outland to join his new allies, Lady Vashj and Illidan Stormrage. When Sunstrider sent a contingent of blood elves to serve Stormrage directly, Aszera was among them. In this new situation, she distinguished herself sufficiently to be sent for elite training…

It was here that things ultimately went off the rails. Aszera sought to impress her leaders until the end, when she woke with ruined eyes and a body imbued with fel energies, and she realized that probably she should’ve said no somewhere along the way. It was very common for the initiation to go wrong, so she laid a path that strongly implied her death and deserted. She fled to Shattrath to try to put the pieces back together, and that's where she met Sil Silentstep, who cannot resist a pretty girl in trouble. Sil helped her get back on her feet, and also introduced her to a number of other Cobalt Company members, almost all of whom she instantly decided were her friends. At the suggestion of one of these friends, she made contact with Altruis the Sufferer and began to learn more about how to manage her condition.

This situation endured until she found out that her sister Syarra was not dead, but rather raised as a death knight who had been freed at the Battle of Light's Hope Chapel. There followed a long period of emotional conflict, where Syarra persisted in trying to keep her living, demon-infested sister as a part of her life.
