Persaelle Crowley

History
Darius Crowley was a lord before he was imprisoned for his rebellion against King Greymane, but Persaelle's side of the family was never entitled to that lineage. Her grandfather, Darius's father's younger brother, was a bastard, and married into a lowborn house. So though they share a name and distant blood, and were even around the same age, Persaelle and Lorna never interacted as children, and only became somewhat acquainted as adults after the events of the Cataclysm. It was thanks to this disassociation that Persaelle's family avoided suspicion during the time of the Civil War. Her parents were at one point questioned, but found to have no knowledge of Darius's movement, and were since very vocal in their loyalty to the Crown.

Persaelle grew up with her younger brother Gebediah in a house on the outskirts of the city. Her father Theodore worked as a private tutor and was somewhat reclusive. Early in Persaelle's childhood her mother Margaret left the family to join the Church. Persaelle hasn't seen her since and doesn't know if she even survived the events of the Cataclysm.

Persaelle's grandmother, Sibella, became her primary female role model. Sibella Streift, like most of the women in her family, was a Harvest Witch, and began training Persaelle in the old ways when she was ten years old. It was during this time that she met her mother's cousins, Edgar and Irving Streift, who ran a rookery. Six years later, her father also sent her to study under Krennan Aranas, Gilneas's most accomplished chemist.

By the time of the Cataclysm, Persaelle was already a proficient witch and potion-maker. She was almost a woman grown and living part-time with her father and brother, who was then training to be in the Royal Guard. When not there she was either staying with her grandmother or studying with Krennan.

During the attack of the Worgen, Geb was afflicted and attacked and killed their father. While Persaelle was able to prevent obtaining the affliction herself, and both she and her brother did eventually escape to safety, the trauma of that event affects them both to this day. They no longer speak much, though they are still amiable. Geb has never been able to return to his human form. The whereabouts of Persaelle's mother remain unknown.

After she escaped Gilneas, Persaelle spent three years in Darnassus studying the ways of the druids and how they correspond to those of the harvest witches, under the night elf Kamirean. In the course of learning of the culture and history of the Kaldorei druids, she absorbed some knowledge of the spellcasting performed by Druids of the Moon, which she used to imbue her Tarot Cards with powerful abilities.

She has since travelled extensively in Pandaria, befriended the Ravenspeakers of Draenor, and settled somewhat permanently in Stormwind.

Sometime after the campaign in Draenor ended she was kidnapped and tortured by a Scourge commander named Aleksander. During her ordeal she had her left arm severed and reattached using foul necromantic magic. To this day it causes her to be susceptible to the Scourge, particularly in that limb.

Seemingly unable to stay out of trouble for long, Persaelle then fell into a torrid affair with a human criminal. The two were briefly engaged before the relationship was cut off. Later the ring she'd kept was stolen from her.

She had a mysterious relationship with a certain scowling Doctor and his brawny counterpart, who are no longer seen around the city.

The only family members that Persaelle still has regular contact with are her second cousin, Edgar Streift, and her brother Gebediah.

Her current lovers include the knight, Sir Laxus Highmore, wanted criminal Altair Frostgrasp, Rick Clintion (though she would never admit it), and a demon hunter named Sayael.
