Yvellyn Passiondale

"Passion in faith."

Sir Yvellyn Marie Passiondale (born 21 June, 10 L.C.) is an armiger of the Grand Alliance. She currently serves as a Knight Bachelor, offering her knowledge and skill in combat under the banners of Lords and Ladies of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Passiondale's career began ultimately in her infancy when she was appointed to be a page in the Stormwind House of Nobles. Having no noble blood in her family line, she had come to rely on this foundation to achieve her current status.

Early Life
Yvellyn Marie Passiondale was born on 21 June, 10 L.C., in Northshire Abbey, Elwynn Forest, and grew up on her parents' farm in the western side of the forest. An only child, she was put to work by her parents and sent back to the Abbey to serve as a page in 16 L.C.. Her father, Aellyn Passiondale, served in the First and Second Wars as a footman. This background gave him sufficient knowledge to train Yvellyn how to properly handle a weapon and defend herself should she need to. In 26 L.C., Passiondale was given her faithful stallion Sten for her sixteenth birthday. They have become inseparable since.

Passiondale inhereted her family's farm in 31 L.C. after her parents retired, leaving her the owner and sole worker while used the income to fund her other endeavours. Over time she introduced her to a great number of errant knights, whom some of which squired her. While she never achieved knighthood under them, the lessons she was taught undoubtly gave her some of the knowledge she needed to become a knight months later.

Knighthood
Passiondale was granted Honorary Knighthood in 31 L.C. from her accolades, primarily from the slaying of a corrupt black drake  known as Neris, and her historical findings in Raven Hill alongside her spouse Cathangea Graves. While this title was solely of merit and not of official status, Passiondale took it with great honor and dignity, and used it to further herself in both renown and training.

Eventually taking on more challenging and rewarding experiences, Passiondale earned her place in the eyes of Lord Willym Pembrooke who granted her vassalage in return for inducting her name into nobility. A Knight Bachelor - and having status in the noble realm - she took to serving under other Lords in the name of both the King and her family.

Religion & Holy Magic
A firm believer of the Holy Light and an ordained cleric of the Church of the Holy Light, Passiondale possesses the strict, unwavering religion that many other followers have. She often expresses her devotion to the Light either in prayer, her manner of speech and combat, and how she treats others as a whole. She is often found in Stormwind's Cathedral, either praying, studying, or donating spare gold.

While she is not a Paladin, Passiondale is capable of using the Light both offensivley and defensively, and follows the Three Virtues devoutly. She has expressed her lack of desire to be inducted into any official groups such as the Silver Hand numerous times, claiming that "her duty to herself and kingdom comes before paperwork".

While her own mind is set firmly on her current religion, Passiondale has no qualms in learning and accepting others' beliefs.

Property
Passiondale's farmstead, which houses Sten and the other animals of her farm, is located in western Elwynn Forest. She currently takes up residence in the small farmhouse, often renting what little space she has to close friends in exchange for services such as farmwork or hunting. Passiondale also often employs jobless citizens to work temporarily on her farm, paying them fairly to get them on their feet.
