Lydia "Lynt" Brightman

Past & Present
Lydia's life before her animation is a mystery to her, she herself would describe trying to remember it like trying to recall a dream you had weeks ago..you remember events, you remember faces, but you dont' remember names or details. Yet as you take the time to think details begin to fill in. She was a tailors daughter, a humble life making meager wages keeping clothing fixed within Stormwind. She started at a young age helping her father at his humble business,  during this time her father gave her the nickname "Lynt." It was at first something he only called her but as time went on and she grew into adulthood, many others who knew her and her father also called her Lynt, so it stuck.

Then came her her curiosity of magic. Though she can not recall exact details, she remembers glimpses of fixing the cloak of a mage, the mage teaching her a small spell to retain the enchantment..and by chance this seamstress showed to have a adaptive mind. From there she wanted to learn magic, though her time as a mage is foggy: her father supporting her, various classes.. but from her reanimation Lydia will always remember very clearly her murderers..it's a event she has yet to bring up with anyone. Yet it seems fate had other plans for the girl, as a month after she was buried, she found herself within the graveyard of Deathkneel, she being one of the many grave robbed bodies the Forsaken spirited away in the night from Alliance graveyards to bolster their own forces.

Dying at the young age of 23 with a limited number of spells, as the girl was a apprentice before she died..yet as a Forsaken she's been able to learn very quickly, that young adaptive mind still intact and with not needing to eat and sleep giving her all the time in the world to learn.. Within a few months  time, she has made herself a accomplished spell caster, though at the cost of lacking experience using magic in combat. Though She had made up for it with a vast amount of book smarts and utility spells matched with a resourceful and adaptive mind.

While traveling across the Forsaken controlled Eastern Kingdoms reanimated, she pretty much a skittish little creature still getting used to her new state, by chance she came across the Undercity Nexus within their former meeting place within the ruins of Southshore Inn. Though she had little to offer accept her paltry mage talents and her tailoring skill which was adapted to mend and repair flesh of other Forsaken, it was her wish to better serve her new race and Dark Lady that had accepted her in. From there, the girl in between her personal research and study had stood ready to serve the Nexus without question..some would call the girl blindly loyal but it was more a want to be accepted as she knew even her own father would reject her now as a undead, rather letting him believe she was still dead and buried.

Reawakened within a perilous time for the Forsaken, so hated by the Alliance and distrusted by their allies, Lyida does all she can to help. Though it seems a lot of niggling qualities from her life such as Trust, Empathy, Compassion though dulled still keep within her heart. Though she would never be swayed from what she was asked, she avoids being apart of particularly cruel events such as prisoner torture other Forsaken normally would relish in. It at first caused a great deal of conflict within herself so she took some personal time to be stationed within Pandaria to find herself. Though the Pandarians had taught her a lot when it comes to their culture and history, silk crafting and magic the most important thing she learned is without family or neighbors, a person is nothing. So after a few months she returned home to the Undercity ready to stand by the Nexus to her true death.

Physical Description
This former human has been animated more recently then most Forsaken, her pale skin is a bit fresher, showing how recent her reanimation was, yet a few signs of decomposition exists, though recently repaired with the combination of flesh crafting  and shadow magic, evidence of stitching along various parts of her face and body. Her eyes glow from the energies that reanimated her..illuminating what would be dull dry blank grey eyes. Her hair was thin and wiry, dry like straw but had retained the dark color it was when she was alive, it loosely hanging to her shoulders. Her movement is slow and deliberate, carefully stepping with a slight hobble, a minor case of rigor mortis afflicting the woman's joints..besides a few little cracks of joints her steps barely made any noise.

Lydia's voice is soft, with a airy hiss produced when they pass through her ragged non-functioning lungs. Though stunted emotionally as other Forsaken are..she is more approachable then most, signs of guilt and compassion not fully snuffed out from the girl's dead heart. But most defined is a strict work ethic and a selfless wish to help, A trait her father drilled in her head during her lifetime that not even death could take away and what is keeping her so loyal to the Nexus.

She is normally seen dressed in thick, dark colored robes and clothing reinforced with magical enchantments loosely fitting on her slender frame as even alive she was willowy completely with a high collar that acted as a cowl, covering her mouth..with her wide brimmed wizards hat she also wore, most of her face was obscured only leaving a pair of glowing eyes.

Companions
Even though she was more approchable then most Forsaken, her shy nature kept her from activly looking to meet compaions, She  mainly sticking with those of the nexus, seen alongside them or hidden behind them, granting her the nick name "Little Shadow." Yet as time goes on, she's attempted to at least make a attempt to find a few lasting companions and freinds.

Then there is the subject of romance..being a young age when she was reanimated, during the apex of her turn from teen to adult, there was a part of her that entertains the idea of finding someone, a more personal compaion to help her feel less lonesome though with how shy she was combined with she was so focused on her studies during her lifetime she didn't even figure out if she liked men or women..

Misc
Misc Info: Though soft spoken, the subjects of magic and history can help her open up..the girl known to grow more excited and peppy as she rambles about what she knows.
