Lyraeni Sorrowsong

Physical Appearance
Lyraeni Sorrowsong's skin is nearly snow-like in its complextion, the deathly peaceful and eternally youthful face only disrupted by a light-given scar that carves over her right eye. Her eyes a ghostly blue, lighter than even most High Elves. Her hair, since her first death, has lightened from a golden blonde to a platinum blonde. Her elven ears rise high through the silvery hair, signifying her elven heritage. She often wears a myriad of different armour sets, the precise armour she wears depending on her combat style at the time.

Arms and Armour
Her arms and armour are rather flexible - although she has her favourites. Most often she is found in a set of black leather ranger armour, reinforced with arcanite. This armour is flexible, lightweight, and durable - perfect for most situations she finds herself in. Instead of a helm or circet, Lyra dons a thick black leather hood. Useful for both stealth, intimidation, and protection from ranged attacks.

However, if the situation is dire or brute strength is required, Lyraeni may dawn her Death Knight armour. A full plate armour comprised of ghost-iron and cobalt plating, this armour is ideal for front-lines combat and brawls.

For offense, Lyraeni has several instruments she can draw upon. For up-close combat, she will call upon one of her several runeblades. Although she favours using a single blade, she is capable of wielding two nearly as well. For ranged combat she employs a mix of martial weapons and magic. From her hand-held foldable crossbow, to her necromantic bone-bow, Lyra's projectile arsenal have proven time and time again to be quite useful. On top of that, Lyra commands rune magic - giving her access to a variety of deadly magic. From summoning dark Necromantic magic from the shadowlands, to channeling the icy powers of Icecrown itself, to even the perverse control of life energy through blood, Lyra is never without options in a fight.

Early Life
Lyraeni's early life was similar to many High Elves of her time. Born into an era of peace, she was told tales of the fierce and agile Farstriders, fantasizing about eventually becoming one herself. She would often stray into the forests, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of her fabled heroes. To her disappointment, she rarely even found evidence of them - and was swiftly found by her parents.

Farstrider Academy
Years later, when she came of age, Lyraeni would enlist into the Farstriders. Displaying a good amount of natural talent and prowess with the bow and sword, Lyra quickly entrenched herself into the ranks of the Rangers. It was here that Lyra first met, or heard of, several elves that would become life-long allies and friends. However, one Ranger-Captain in particular by the name of Aeriyth Dawnsorrow would prove to be an inspiration to the young ranger. Seeing the young noble's ferocity and prowess in combat against the renegade Amani trolls, Lyra was inspired to train even harder to try and match her.

Military Service
Her training paying off, Lyra was placed under the command of Ranger-Captain Aeriyth Dawntreader in several battles across Lordaeron against the savage horde. Her experience fighting the similarly savage trolls proved invaluable in the forests of Lordaeron. Within the 812th Division of the Quel'thalas Rangers, Lyra fought many battles against trolls and orcs alike, and assisted in the defense of Quel'thalas from any and all threats. However, despite the combined efforts of the elves, nothing could stop Arthas' rampage across their lands. While many, many of her brethren fell to Arthas, she had miraculously survived his campaign through their ancient land.
