Appearance
Oryena was visibly an elf in life, with her delicate features and pointy ears. Her skin is now gray, her hair purple and short. Her piercing eyes glow with a marigold color. Her lips are sewn shut, and she only removes the thread in religious contexts.
She makes an effort to always have her back straight. Her movements are precise, calculated and help express her orders to others efficiently.
Oryena takes great care of her appearance and visits the Royal Apothecary Society for any visible signs of rot. Her bones show through her skin in places, and her fingers are like claws, but her face is intact.

History
Oryena Nightsea was a High Elf, living in Silvermoon City. She worked there as a toymaker, making little statues, music boxes, and dolls with gears imported from Gnomeregan.
And then, Arthas happened.
She was turned into a mindless undead following his orders, recruiting more of her peers into his army. But somehow, someway, a year later, Sylvanas freed her. She had free will again, with no memories of her time with the Scourge. Still, she knew, she understood what she'd done.
Oryena needed to make sense of it all - her death, her undeath, and her newly regained freedom. She was welcomed by members the Cult of Forgotten Shadows, and learned from them. She discovered the power of her own will - which is why she was able to break free from the Lich King's control - and how to bend the Light and Shadow to do her bidding. To change the world.
Ever since, she's begun preaching for the Cult, and has gathered a quite decent amount of followers. She took a vow of silence and sewed her lips shut.
