【History】
From a young age, Asha was a headstrong, wild and curious child, never satisfied until she had seen, touched or experienced something for herself. The youngest of seven children born into a aristocratic family, she was probably given more free rein than her older siblings, as little of the family responsibility would be expected of her. She was also a good deal younger than her siblings, some of them already into their first century of life. Her siblings are two older sisters (the two oldest siblings), and then four older brothers.
Around the age of 10, the Second War began. Asha, always the little explorer, was always taking trips out of the city and out into the woods beyond, ranging far and wide as she searched for anything of interest. On one of these trips, she found the abandoned remnants of a magical Runestone and returned home to tell others of the find, namely her siblings. They took little interest in this, putting it down to her active imagination and telling Asha as much. Determined to prove herself, she set out again to try to bring back a piece of carved rock or something to show them she was telling the truth. As she was out there alone, unknown to her, an Orc scout was also there, examining the runestone. He sent his pet carrion bird to attack Asha. It scratched down one side of her face and as she curled into a ball to protect herself, it mauled her upper back and a bit on her shoulders with its talons. Thankfully, a small band of Farstrider Rangers had been tracking this Orc scout and came to the rescue, slaying him and his pet and saving Varasha. The leader of these Rangers was Sylvanas Windrunner, whose mother was the current Ranger-General.
True to Asha's defiant and independent nature, she did not take this incident as a lesson to stick to the safety of the city but instead, it drove her to learn how to defend herself and wield weapons. In awe of what she had seen of the Rangers and Sylvanas in particular, she taught herself the use of sword and dagger and how to expertly shoot a bow, desiring to be just as graceful, deadly and proficient as they had been that day they had saved her.
When she was about 43, on one of her longer ranging forays, Asha ended up very near to where the human settlements started in Lordaeron. She met a young human hunter and fur trader named Julian after an incident where she very nearly froze after discovering that winter in Lordaeron was very different from that of Quel'Thalas.
They carried on a bit of a secret romance for a number of months though also during this time, Asha was accepted into the Farstriders to be trained as a Ranger, much to the annoyance of her aristocratic but very pacifistic family.
She carried on meeting Julian whenever she had the opportunity between her training. By the next year, when Asha was about 44 years old, Lordaeron was attacked by the Scourge. Asha never saw Julian again after he left to help defend his homeland.
Shortly after, the Scourge turned their attentions on Quel'Thalas. Sylvanas Windrunner, now the Ranger-General, lead the Rangers in the defense of Quel'Thalas but it was to no avail. Very few of the Quel'dorei, or High Elves, survived. The only reason Asha did was that she had been tasked with evacuating certain key members of Quel'dorei society. Though she lived, none of her family survived the Scourge attack.
Over the past 5 years since the fall of Quel'Thalas, Asha devoted herself to the Rangers and their goals of taking back Quel'Thalas, restoring their civilization and protecting her people, fully adopting the name that Kael'thas gave them: the Sin'dorei.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Skills and Abilities】
She knows how to survive in the wilds, being very proficient at hunting and tracking, trained in military tactics as well as stealth, scouting and surveillance. She also plays a small, stringed elven instrument that looks something like a mandolin but sounds more harp-like.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Weapons/Tools and Magic】
For melee, Asha is trained in dual-wielding and favours using an elven short sword in one hand and an elven dagger in the other. She is also an expert with a bow, carrying an elven composite shortbow that also has blades on the top and bottom arms for use in a pinch.
Farstrider Rangers pick up the ability to use some magic as part of their training and Asha knows how to use some like melding into shadows, limited healing abilities, water breathing, speak with animals, and a spell that can enhance agility and coordination.
