Sjora M'yari

Childhood

Sjora was born on Draenor in the purple pastures of Shadowmoon Valley, to Muran and Yari. She was younger sister to brothers Yoro and Koros and older sister Sjori. She was a peculiar adolescent, born with larger and longer curved horns than her other peers but was she was physically smaller than other draenei babies with pristine bluish white eyes and pale grey skin. Her family has a small simple farm off Karabor at the Elodor fields, earning a living from selling crops grown and gathered and hunting wild Rockhides for meat, jerky and leather to sell to occasional neighbouring draenei and shadowmoon orc traders who would visit Elodor every few moons.

As a child, Sjora did not have many friends aside from the little critters that visited her home. Daily, Sjora would follow her mother and sister to the fields at dusk while her father and brothers went hunting. She particularly enjoys and remembers picking up Starflower petals while trudging along the muddy watered fields which she collected to make petal necklaces and bracelets for her family. More often than not, she would attempt to sneak out of the house at night to lay on the fields and stare at the purple starry night skies, wondering how she could catch some to make more necklaces. It was a common sight though, for Yari or Sjori to find Sjora sleeping in the fields the next morning. However, Yari was usually upset and displeased that Sjora had sneaked out because of how dangerous it was to wander out at night without any proper supervision. As a consequence of her disobedience, Sjora was usually grounded and punished and not allowed to follow them in the day. Sjori, having a soft spot for her little sister made a little doll for Sjora to keep her company on such days which Sjora has affectionally named Miri.

'''Orcish corruption and invasion'''

A few months after Sjora had her third nameday, threats of orcish corruption and invasion from the fallen shaman Gul’dan grew. As a precaution, Muran instructed Yari to take their children into Shattrath City. As the attacks by the encroaching horde of orcs worsened and as the city began to fall, Yoro and Koros volunteered to stayed behind to defend the city from the siege and to help with the defence efforts while, Yari, Sjori and Sjora soon evacuated to the secluded mushroom cove of Zangarra. It was also during this time, where Sjora first set her eyes upon the revered Prophet Velen. Sjori also started her journey into priesthood as the need for more healers rose. As Yari was often busy helping with tasks around the refugee camp, Sjora was alone with Miri most of the time, wandering the camp. It was a depressing sight to see though, there were many wounded and sick.

As a result, on one occasion, Sjora attempted to sneak past the vindicators guarding the camp to see if she could find some Starflower petals to make necklaces and bracelets to hopefully help some of these people feel better. However, as she wandered a bit too far, she was unknowingly ambushed by a wild razorleaf. Clutching Miri and backed against a wall, Sjora couldn’t help but panic and cry as the monster approached her. Fortunately, one of the vindicators patrolling the area heard her cries and managed to repel the monster before carrying a frightened Sjora back to camp to a very worried Yari.

'''Escaping Draenor'''

Three decades passed and Sjora grew to become a fine woman. Having developed a knack for savy inventions and technology, she started helping and learning with the local engineer Ockil with the building and maintenance of weapons and tools used. However, food and supplies were running low in the vincity and scavenging parties were unable to bring back many essential materials like herbs for medicine or food. It was soon made known to the surviving Draenei that they had to find more allies to stand against the Legion and its nihilistic crusade and they could not stay in Zangarra for much longer. An attack was planned on the once Naaru controlled ship of the Exodar. However, as it was a military attack many sick and injured would not be able to move with them. Some volunteered to stay, some were forced to stay. One of which was Yari, who was in declining health in recent years. Sjora was heartbroken and torn as she was really close to her mother and refused to leave. However, at the behest of her sister, Sjori, she was told to leave with the force that was preparing to attack with her since there was not much hope left for Yari as she was dying. After much persuasion, Sjora reluctantly agreed. The night before the attack, Sjora sat at her mother’s bedside and they tearfully reminisced the past and how much they loved it other. Before Sjora left, Yari gave her pendant with a magically infused Starflower petal encased in it to Sjora.

Backpacked and after successfully infiltrating the Exodar to escape Draenor, all was well until the draenei soon learned that the ship had been sabotaged by the blood elves they had seized it from. Spinning out of control in the nether, it crashed-landed on the planet of Azeroth.
