Eve Ariel Emberbane

N "Long ago a young elven child cast into nobility and defined by beauty was exiled from her homeland. She came across a beast without a purpose, lost and uncertain of what destiny had in store for him. If he had no purpose... why not give him one? Unable to defend herself in this world of Azeroth, she peered at the beast from across a river and smiled. Would you protect me she asked? The beast stood for a time and eventually, only nodded back."

- - Eve Ariel Emberbane, Lady of the Hound.  

Remnant of Quel'Thalas
Eve Emberbane started as an orphan within the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, majority of her infant years were spent learning the culture of her people, under the tutelage of many passing citizens. She was a known peasant who wandered the streets yet her presence often wasn't despised. Eve was known by many as kindhearted and generous, despite having little to nothing for herself. Due to her sheltered beginnings, it wasn't until Eve had Michita Atiel Royal as a companion years later, that she began to learn more about the varying cultures of different individuals and other races outside of Quel'Thalas, and Silvermoon City itself. It is uncertain who Eve's parents are, or why she remained so long in Silvermoon City alone in the first place. A mystery to many.

Archmage Emberbane
Archmage Emberbane was a heavy influence upon Eve's life. Archmage and Head of House Emberbane, Alysia Emberbane was as mysterious as she was powerful. Over the years she became an active parental figure in Eve's life, resulting in Eve eventually adopting her last name as well. Archmage Emberbane had a strong affection for Eve, and often invited her to her mansion, safely tucked away within Silvermoon City. She'd even allied with members of the Amani Tribe to keep track of the girl in case she ever left the city. Archmage Emberbane never desired for Eve to venture beyond the region of Quel'Thalas. However, everything changed when Eve somehow triggered a powerful artifact on display within the Archmage's quarters, an ancient timeless Chronoshard. These actions resulted in the coming of a powerful Infinite Drake, Queen Terra'straza. Amidst the chaos, Archmage Emberbane sent Eve through a portal to ensure the girl's swift escape with the Chronoshard, but tragically lost her own life in the process. Despite Queen Terra'straza being sucked back into the timeways, this day still haunts Eve.

The Infinite Consequence
Dawn and Dusk, heirs to House Emberbane and prestigious nobles within Silvermoon City, have always sought to track down the elf who'd gotten their dear mother murdered. However unlike her, Dawn and Dusk had a far different philosophy regarding Eve's actions and brash recklessness, and as a result have aimed to deal with her personally themselves. The two have managed to rise within the ranks of the Sunreavers, in the hopes they may acquire more resources to figure out where Eve may be in hiding. To this end, Dawn and Dusk have made it a primary objective to track down their "little sister", and one day show her fully how much her actions have affected them. For many years to come, the two would have fated encounters with their adopted little sister, as if destined to chase one another eternally.

Chapter 1: The Lady and The Hound (Cataclysm)
After hiding for many years within the Tirisfal Glades, Eve was eventually harassed by the Bronze Dragonflight who sought to question her abnormal involvement with the timeways, as well as her mother's. Michita, a worgen she'd met, sought to spare Eve her fate and assist her with escaping punishment for her actions. The two have since been avoiding them, instead going on missions to assist the heroes of Azeroth. Their first mission together being in aiding a foreign noble from the lands of Tanaris. A paladin by the name of Saegrath Hirophin sought to hire the two adventurers to find a powerful relic of his house which was stolen by fellow nobles in his homelands. Together the three embarked on an adventure across Kalimdor to accomplish this.

Even after returning from their mission, Eve never forgot Michita's kindness and reliability. To this end, Eve came to forever trust her dear companion, and has aspired to become as dependable as him ever since. Michita then acted as Eve's guardian, and she his primary source of reconnaissance as the two ventured across Azeroth, taking on stray contracts and doing their best not to lose themselves in the madness that occurred in this world.The fateful beginning to their story.

Guidance of the Vanguard
Upon the success of their mission in Kalimdor, one of the earliest groups of adventurers Eve ever associated with were the Ironcloak Vanguard. Lead by the brilliant battlemaster Falcko Arturia, Eve often observed them within their ranks and learned much of their martial prowess. It was with this group of individuals, Eve first learned how to properly defend herself and even began delving into the teachings of the light, due to the inspiring words of a nurse known as Lady Ricktore. However in time, Eve departed from the Ironcloak Vanguard due to a traumatic experience within the Tirisfial Glades, and the near loss of multiple members. Eve spent much time in Stormwind City afterward, keeping to herself and enjoying the peace of Michita's company and other passing citizens.

Chapter 2: Heart of the Raven (MoP - WoD)
Eventually in her peacetime, Eve was picked up by a strange recruiter, a veiled priest who spoke with a sharp tongue. She was a part of the order of the raven, or House of Ravenshield, more specifically. It was here Eve learned of true kinship. The bond she witnessed from the other members, only strengthened her resolve to forge such bonds along the way. Lead by Dilan Ravenshield, Eve saw him as a fatherly figure, though she never revealed to him her true background. Often times they spoke, Eve found a sense of longing she never had. Even more so in a time when Michita had been gravely wounded. Eventually after Lord Ravenshield retired from the order, it was reformed under the steadfast Lady Lucandria. But despite this, Lord Ravenshield rarely left her thoughts. Though she hoped he was happy in the very end.

The Long Road Ahead
Despite rumors of the Burning Legion threat on the horizon, Eve never made mention of her dire concerns to her comrades. Due to the effects of the Chronoshard, Eve had managed to dream fragments of possible futures, bleak dark ones. Though the Perennial Armament had treated her kindly, Eve felt that it would soon be her time to go. She never forgot the sense of family they'd given her, as they were remnants of House Ravenshield. Eve had realized that destruction would soon arrive at their very shores. As an act of uncertainty, she departed from the order in the dead of night, for she knew not what role she truly wanted to play in the battles to come. Eve has always pondered the fate of the Perennial Armament, and wonders if somewhere down the road they will meet again.

Chapter 3: The Last Reset (Legion)
When the portal at the Tomb of Sargeras was opened, one of the many escaped demons was a Dreadlord who goes by the name of Amaal'zar. Amaal'zar had a particular fascination with the torture and subjugation of children. This earned him the title, the Twisted, for even many of his own found his tastes unwelcoming. Amaal'zar cared little for honor, or havoc, only the savored reactions of those children who became his next victims. Though such innocence was scarce to be found anymore on Argus or other Legion conquered worlds, Azeroth was ripe with young naive life. In time, this lead him to the Eastern Kingdoms, where he'd gone on a serial spree, causing an epidemic of missing children. After one of her close friends and peers fell victim, Eve sought out Amaal'zar wherever he hid. However upon locating him, she was powerless before him, bested in almost every way. In a fit of rage, Eve resorted to using the Ancient Chronoshard stolen from Terra'straza long ago to permanently erase Amaal'zar from existence. But such selfish motives aren't without consequence. Eve's appearance had become sickly altered, withering her slowly with the process.

The Golden Aspiration
Creeping sadness, despair, and depression gripped Eve. For even after the defeat of the Dreadlord Amaal'zar, Eve saw herself as a failure. She had used the very object that resulted in the death of her mentor for selfish reasons. What did this make her? Eve struggled with such thoughts a long while after the fact, thoughts Michita couldn't even depart her of. But eventually with time, Eve found a welcome reprieve within the order of the Citrine Eagle, lead by the prestigious and renowned Lady Zaria. Within their generous order, Eve found many things, even an aching love. But ultimately confidence, which she gained from Lady Zaria and her companion Svipul. Within the snowy mountains of Alterac, Eve combated with Lady Zaria and her companion, and despite the chaos of the Legion; she witnessed within Zaria endless faith, devotion, and peace with their circumstances. Though brief, this stuck with Eve even after her departure. Much like Lord Ravenshield, Lady Zaria rarely leaves the mind of Eve. For she is her golden aspiration in a dark world. A height of power she hopes to achieve.

The End of All Things
At long last, the time had finally arrived. After so much hardship and tragedy, both Michita and Eve had joined the many other adventurers of Azeroth on the long road to Antorus after months of isolated training. Having prepared themselves specifically for this moment over the course of their journey, Eve joined Michita on the front lines, as they aimed to assist the Army of the Light as best they could. Unknowingly to Eve, Michita desperately sought a cure for her recent illness, upon Mac'aree, once the pinnacle of draenei civilization. With the help of Lady Alleria Windrunner he was successful, but now the whispers of the void were not far from Eve, and the voices lurking in the dark spoke of many things, things she couldn't deter from her thoughts. Even after their war effort proved a success and they had managed to escape the very grip of the dark titan Sargeras, Eve wondered if there was truth to the warnings of the void. Was this truly only the beginning to the end of all things? Even in celebration of the Legion's defeat, Eve ponders this. But perhaps such things are better left unknown.

Chapter 4: The Coming Tides (BFA)
Much time has passed since the defeat of the Burning Legion. Along with the loss of many old friends due to tragedy, hope also sparks as new friends have been made. For Eve, two such friends are Zevrad Stargazer, now an ex-demon hunter and familiar companion, and his daughter Edis. However the peace from defeating the Legion has been short-lived, as a war of blood has ignited a fiery passion for justice within the Alliance, while the Horde also clamor for resources. A new chapter has opened and despite the circumstances, Eve has decided to remain distant from this coming conflict. Old enough to care for herself, she has been more recently involved with Stormwind Politics. Since her transition to a ren'dorei, whispers of the void are never too far from her mind. Though she still keeps Michita close in the form of a bracelet she has given him, allowing her to summon him to her location or vice versa whenever she desires. As she continues to help allocate resources for the Alliance in this war, Eve has also already been informed by the whispers that these war antics are only petty in the face of what is to come. This is not her war to fight... not yet. So instead she has decided to buy herself some much needed time.

Within the House of Eve
Eve promised herself long ago she'd be as dependable as her companion Michita someday, and as the war progresses that dream has only become more steadfast in her focus. Time and again has Eve borrowed the power of others at great cost and sacrifice... unable to utilize that power on her own. As the battle for Darkshore rages on and the kaldorei delve into the taboo practices of even Elune, so has Eve continued to explore the various rifts of the void spread throughout the infinite cosmos. Acting as a base of operations for her dark practices, Eve has favored a rift containing elements and scenery in similarity to Azeroth. A torn landscape that defies the logic shaped by most worlds. Within this rift bears rolling hills of grass and stone, peaks marred by violet waterfalls. A thick forest of towering trees containing leaves that shine like emerald. All the while, the stars hang infinitely in a sky that is eternally engrossed in twilight. Yet despite its beauty, its mystery and fascinating structure... at the top of the highest mountain looms a house personally constructed by the sentient forces that linger here. An unnerving darkness shrouds this realm, hidden from the common eye. Yet within her house, Eve continues to explore her now beloved practices. Practices that further her knowledge and allow her to be defined by power which she controls. All Horde soldiers assigned to confront the ren'dorei, Eve prefers to drag here. Some return home, some stay forever. Michita is privileged to come and go as he pleases, even if he does not enjoy the direction she is taking. Not many have seen the Crescent Throne within the House of Eve, and Horde soldiers able to return home often wish they hadn't.

The Sister's Emberbane


Amidst a time when Michita had to depart for the coasts of Darkshore, Eve also undertook her own personal journey. Ever since she was a child years ago, she'd never resolved a conflict with her older siblings. The Death of their mother, Archmage Emberbane, still haunted the three of them. For years the two sisters attempted to track down Eve, and for many years have attempted to bring her to justice for her crimes. But Eve was protected by Michita, as well as sheltered by her allies within the Alliance. The sisters were never given a perfect opportunity to find Eve alone without the meddlesome wolf. Now that Michita had gone on his own personal development... Eve would do the same.

Eve orchestrated an intentional meeting between the two sisters and their party, to settle their personal war amidst this time of strife. Within the isolated mountains deep in the Western Plaguelands, Eve would present the sisters the opportunity they very much desired. She too had to come to terms with what she'd become over the years, racked with guilt over her own decisions and the selfishness of the development she required. She'd always kept the values of her past allies close in her heart, and even if she aimed to do good... she herself was beyond representing good. Eve would settle this vendetta and would accept whatever outcome transpired. That was what she'd accepted.

Needless to say, Eve had emerged from the event... still breathing. She never found that peace of mind she was looking for, but she did find closure. What'd transpired on those mountains she had tucked away in her mind, refusing to speak of it again. She knew now what she was and what she wanted for this world. Yet whether that meant she loved herself was an entirely different story. She had reached a new stage of development necessary to push her forward, and that's all that mattered... a drive to push forward. It is uncertain what happened with her older siblings, as both they and their party mysteriously vanished. But deep in those western mountains, lonesome leaves rode the winds in a barren field. There within that field, a tear in the veil of reality shimmered, a memento to family. An end, both sides hungrily desired.

Base Appearance
Lady Eve is a fairly short and slender woman with a smaller frame built for speed and maneuverability, a more athletic build. Her skin borders on the edge of grey and violet, providing a milky complexion with a smooth texture. Her eyes are now a bright sapphire, amidst the change to her appearance from taking in the void. Her voice possesses a soft echo, as if she were speaking from a significant distance away. Her outfits can change often, though these days she favors noble's clothing as it helps her feel more contained. Her bare skin causes her to acquire a timid sensation; as if the void within would lash out at others. Whenever the sensation becomes too much... she'll dawn gloves to protect her allies. She favors a staff as a conduit, as well as a dagger for more physical defense. She tends to keep her hair cut short, to prevent enemies from grabbing onto it. Unlike Michita, she relies more on magical prowess than physical combat.

Combat Phase - The Twilight Vault
Eve when pushed into combat, very rarely if ever engages in a direct confrontation. Many have described her magic as if becoming lost as an ant, in a field of falling snow. Eve will communicate with the void, often opening up bright translucent violet portals in mass. Utilizing her mage studies, she will pull objects from these portals, as if a collective storage. It can range from chains to subdue the enemy, to actual creatures to provide assistance and distraction. These objects mixed with her mastery of the arcane, allows her to give these objects the appearance of sentience with telekinetic prowess. Often times it will appear as if she were doing nothing at all, typically keeping her hands concealed in some fashion to prevent giving the enemy clues as to what it is she's doing. The mental strain is quite taxing for Eve, due to her need to communicate with the void as well as manipulate the arcane. As a result she will often keep her distance and stand deathly still, protected by her sentient arsenal that will block the path to her. Her weakness being unable to protect herself in close quarters.
