Amenset Maat

Appearance
As a blood elf, Amenset was very pale and had slightly wavy hair that was almost white. Although somewhat long, it was kept in a bun.

Upon transformation, Her hair took on a deep blue-violet colour, and her skin attained an indigo coloration. A pair of tentacles had sprouted from behind her ears, and her voice gained an ethereal echo to it.

Her hair is now loose but stylized in a way that gives it quite the volume up top.

She has no tattoos, scars, or piercings; not even earrings. When she became a void elf, her nails darkened to a purple shade that is almost black.

Amenset's favourite attire is a lightweight velvety robe. The robe is mostly purple, has dull silver trims and is adorned by violet eye-like figures. She wears no other garment: no gloves, and is barefoot.

As a weapon, she has a living wood staff that seems to twist and squirm of its own accord. The wood on the shaft is naturally purple, with some traces of green. At the tip, from within, through the wood's grain, pulses a green light. This area of the staff is sharp, has pointed protrusions and seems to also irradiate faintly glowing yellow-green spores.{/col}

Her attire gives off the impression that she's very susceptible to physical damage. However, she's tightly enveloped by a spell that absorbs all but the strongest physical attacks.

This shield is invisible and undetectable. She can still feel, touch and be touched, but the shield makes it very hard for her to be harmed.

It is as if her skin is unnaturally resilient to damage, but this does not make her invincible. Being slashed by a knife, a light chop from a sword or stepping on something sharp won't do anything to break it, but a sufficiently strong lunge or blow will definitely harm or even kill her.

Consecutive but committed attacks that aren't enough to break the incantation right away wiIl still deplete it, and then she is, indeed, defenseless.

Youth
Ever since she was a child, Amenset was never one to adhere to societal expectations and restrictions. Instead, she was always curious about the unknown.

She was not too fond of spending time in Silvermoon, often venturing into the woods to the south instead. The feeling of freedom and peace while away from the city was unparalleled. To facilitate that, she has always preferred to dress in a way that wouldn't block her senses, usually a flowy robe made of light fabric, no gloves and no shoes, as she loved to feel the nature by touch.

Born into a wealthy family of magisters, she was urged to study the Arcane, and so she did, despite not being too interested. She had noticed that certain types of magic were constantly shunned, such as the void, fel, and necromancy. This did nothing to deter her vast curiosity in other less-practiced schools of magic in High Elven society.

Arcane was praised and widely practiced, but she knew that it had been used to catastrophic results in the past, which further added to her view that it's not that certain schools of magic are inherently evil, it's just that its practitioners are using it for evil, and that can be done with anything, even Arcane, or the Light. Soon she realized that certain views should not be openly manifested, and learned to keep that to herself.

Arcanist Amenset
Still spending the majority of her free time in the woods, she really wanted to study Nature magic, but there was no realistic way to do that. Her people being banished from Kaldorei society and not knowing much about it themselves, it was a dream that might never come true.

Unrest was rising in the elven kingdom, as news of the fall of Lordaeron to Arthas, now leading a Scourge army, reached them. The Farstriders started to mobilize their forces. The situation grew dire, Sylvanas fell, and Grand Magister Belo'vir was now leading the defense. Amenset, despite her parents' disapproval, went to their aid. Upon arrival, she was greeted by the sight of slaughter. Betrayed from within, it was only a matter of time for the elves to be defeated.

Terrified, Amenset decided to flee. Instead of retreating to the North, she went West, as far as she could, hoping that the Scourge forces would take no interest in that direction. Her own survival was all that she had in mind. Suddenly she felt weaker, but she attributed that to fear, but in truth, the Sunwell was Arthas' goal,, and he succeeded in reaching it. She remained into hiding for quite some time, not knowing what fate has befallen her people. She assumed everyone was killed, her parents included.

When she finally mustered the courage to go back, her assumption wasn't too far off the mark. Most were dead, her parents nowhere to be found, as a great deal of elves were raised into undeath and added to the Scourge ranks.

On that day, Amenset decided to learn whatever crafts she could, acquiring immense power through any means, so that she could destroy any threats to her or whoever she comes to hold dear.

Carving her own path
The alliance Kael'thas formed with Illidan enabled her to study fel magic. Through a great deal of practice, tapping into different artifacts and procuring any source of occult knowledge she learned about, she became very proficient with the fel, preferring to use it in its raw, destructive form. She was evidence that her early beliefs were correct. She was a fel practitioner, and she was not evil.

Amenset took part in the vanquishing of many great foes, which recently took her to Argus. The place that interested her the most was Mac'aree, as she had never given much thought to the void. A new, untapped source of power, through which she could amass even more power and knowledge.

Though her potential was undeniable, it was clear that she needed a teacher, mostly out of self-preservation. Being presented with so many examples of void users who went insane, she sought guidance in Alleria. Wanting to reconnect with her people, Alleria didn't refuse, and Amenset was more prepared to further her studies after some advice.

Back in Azeroth, she became aware of Magister Umbric's studies and exile, and tried her best to find him and his followers, which wasn't all that hard for her. He let Amenset join him, and so she did. Eventually, they found Telogrus.

Alleria showed up after some time. There was a brief exchange between her and Umbric, who tried to open an ancient artifact with the aid of other understudies, Amenset included.

A forced rebirth
From this point in time, Amenset recalls blacking out and going into a dreamlike state. A multitude of whispers filled her mind, vast knowledge of possible events yet to come, Ny'alotha, the Black Forest, she could not keep track of it all, she could feel her lucidity being lost... and then she awoke. Confused, the whispers stayed in her mind. When she talked, her voice was different. She gazed upon her hands, pale gave way to a deep blue hue, the other changes she would only notice later on. And thus began the process to adapt to this change.

And so, the girl who was fascinated with the unknown, the girl who loved forests and nature, became a practitioner of void and fel. Still, she holds the belief that she can use this power for good, to protect her allies.

Now, the dream of learning Nature magic is, truly, going to remain a dream. But as a Ren'dorei, she now serves the Alliance, which allows her to approach Kaldorei society. Even though she might never be able to learn their craft, she's happy enough to wander through their forests and use her own powers to defend her allies, to make sure no other society suffers a fate similar to the one that befell her society, by the hands of the Scourge.
