History

BIRTHDAY: NOVEMBER 2ND, YEAR 0

+ Death Tracker

House Aspenwood is a reputable name in Stormwind, known for their family's winery and vineyards.

Cressidha was an infant when her family fled Stormwind and took refuge on a farm to the south. She and her brothers grew up on the Varley family farm, where they remained until Stormwind was habitable again. Despite the situation, Cressidha was brought up with the manners and decorum to suit a young noblewoman. Her goal of one day becoming a fashion designer and tailor was put on hold the day her magic first manifested, and it was a few years between then and the time she was able to get a proper tutor.

Once her family returned to Stormwind, Cressidha's life changed. She studied magic privately with Ms. Martha Granville. Her parents made an arrangement with another noble house, the Harbrookes, for Cressidha to eventually wed their youngest son, Mordecai. Cressidha and her twin brother Colson had a shared dream of saving the world together, and they planned to join the army together when they turned eighteen.

However, when that year did come, Cressidha's tutor pronounced her unready to work in a group setting. Cressidha's control over her magic was lacking, and her brother Colson joined the army without her, expecting her to come join him soon enough.

The years passed, and by the time Ms. Granville declared Cressidha to be ready, Cressidha was already twenty-five and had lost some of her conviction to join the army. The Defias Brotherhood was making life outside of Stormwind difficult, and Cressidha was frustrated that no one was doing anything about them. By chance, she found a recruitment flier for Cobalt Company, a mercenary group founded by Sir Elohad Ference.

Since then, Cressidha has remained working for Cobalt Company, occasionally being shuffled between the two primary squads, at some point joined by her twin brother Colson. She has had the opportunity to further both her tailoring and enchanting from materials she collects in the field. Now free of her former engagement, Cressidha has little in the way of plans for the future beyond continuing as she is now.

Relationships

 Colson / Colson Aspenwood
Cressidha's twin brother, and her other half. They have been very close all of their lives, even when separated while Colson joined the army.
Bertrand / Bertrand Aspenwood
Cressidha's older brother. He's joined the 7th Legion, and has proven himself to have a strong soul, but Cressidha still worries about him. They don't keep in regular contact, but she enjoys seeing him; he can always make her laugh.
Amadeus / Amadeus Aspenwood
Cressidha's oldest brother, a military man and model soldier of the Alliance. They're far apart in age enough that they aren't close, but Cressidha does look up to him.
Mother / Clara Aspenwood
Cressidha's mother and one of her role models. They have a loving family relationship, even if it might not necessarily appear so to an outsider. Cressidha writes to her mother semi-regularly to keep her up to date on her activities in Cobalt Company.
Father / William Aspenwood
Cressidha's father. He can always put a smile on her face, and she loves him very much. When his life was threatened by a member of the Defias Brotherhood, Cressidha was furious, and she has been incredibly protective of him ever since.
