Players: Yrovi, Warrior of the Forsaken

Name: Yrovi
AKA: Lady Ambassador, Ivory (in life)
Physical Description: Stooped a bit, like all of the undead Forsaken, standing at about 5'5"; dark hair generally pulled back and pinned in place out of her face; a little stocky, well muscled... at least, what flesh is still there; eyes are the typical glowing yellow set deep in a round face, with a softer mouth and stubborn chin; very pale skin; body is (surprisingly) fairly intact, although it has begun to show wear and tear as much as Yrovi attempts to hide it.
Skills: Warrior, most comfortable with axes or swords along with a shield; Engineer; has dabbled a fair bit in geology; member of the Horde cavalry; excellent field Medic; decent cooking skills; understands how to survive in the wild
Basic Background: Yrovi was a young, happy, care-free peasant of the kingdom of Lorderon before the Scourge attacked with the plague. Much of her family and friends contracted the sickness, although she did not get it until a very unlucky visit to Stratholme where she witnessed, as a newly risen undead servant of the Lich King, the destruction of the city by Arthas's hand. She felt anger towards Arthas even then, which no doubt helped her when she broke free with the Dark Lady's aid along with the rest of the Forsaken.

She now makes her home in Silvermoon, where she practices her skills in tinkering, cares for various stray animals, and attempts to forget her former life, which isn't always easy. She is uncharacterstically kind and protective, especially to those weaker than herself, such as the small creatures she cares for. Also, as a member of the mounted Horde soldiers, she owns and looks after many mounts, including worgs, skeletal horses, a lazy kodo, and a very high-sprited, mean-tempered black Hawkstrider.

Because of her good nature, she has begun a very special organization that, while not exactly secretive, is not well advertised and seeks to help those she finds impressive or with talents she wants to nurture. It's possible this is just to further her own ends, but few who are offered her aid turn her down. She is well respected amongst all the Horde, even by the Tauren, who are most inclined to distrust the Forsaken.
