Parthene Tianfang Talonwing

Parthene and Snowstorm

Parthene Tianfang Talonwing is not the brightest bulb, but not the dullest. She really likes drawing. Her family is a little mixed up, but she really dosen't care.

Her parents were a Night Elf named Jaesmin and a Blood Elf named Kai'ren. After a secret wedding at the Light's Hope Chapel, they moved to Ashenvale, where they lived outside Astranaar a good few miles away with the permission of the Sentinels. A week later, Kai brought two orphaned tauren from the Barrens to the house, which they adopted. The children were called Kona and Kora. Although Kai and Jaesmin were happy, they wanted a child of their own blood. They had Parthene, (Pronounced PAR-then-ay) a half-elf. She lived happily with her family until she reached the human equivalent of twelve years old. An army of death knights on the area nearby Astranaar, bringing their Necropolis with them. The whole family was killed, including Parthene, who was raised as a Death Knight, despite her young age. She probably impressed Arthas when she improvised by hitting a Gnome Death Knight in the face with a frying pan the size of the gnome himself. To this day, she says, "Hey, what would YOU have done?"

Parthene made ten escape attempts between the ages of 300 and 420. Each time, she was caught. Her mental barriers wer crushed and she was imprisoned in a dark room, probably a broom closet, for years on end. During her imprisonment, she found a hunk of Saronite that felt roughly cat-shaped. The lifeless hunk was like a friend to her and by channeling some dark magic, plus some of her own magic, it slowly began to come to life. It is now known as Saronitia. By the time she had her deathcharger, now called Neptune, she had had enough. She wildly charged at Arthas at the first chance she got, when he called her up for another chance. She, Neptune, and Saronitia, all lived to tell the tale, although Parthene lost her ears and suffered a grave wound on her chest. The second before she would have been killed, she was accidentally summoned to Elwynn forest by a clutzy Warlock who was aiming for Light's Hope Chapel. She created a panic, but after an explanation and a healing potion, she moved into Stormwind City, where she spies for her current order, which has varried over an alarmingly short time. Her full name is derived from Jaesmin Talonwhisper and Kai'ren Sunwing. Her middle name is a name for herself she derived from a Dragon at the Wyrmcrest Temple, Tianastrasza, and a Nightsaber named Flashfang from her dream. 

Post-Undeath Trauma

A few days after Parthene entered Stormwind, she joined the Ebon Command, a group of death knights. She found friends there and one time, the Command marched in two rows of three into the Cathedral, where they waged war on the Scarlet March and their Commmander stabbed the altar. Insults flew at them like the tomatoes Parthene would throw at the Scarlets in her spare time.

The Ebon Command before marching on the Cathedral

Several weeks later, the Command we disbanded. They had lost many members and there were only about five left. Their General felt he had failed and disbanded them, despite various protests. The Commander who stabbed the altar attempted to bring them back, renaming them the Ebon Legion. They lasted only a few weeks and, as Parthene says, "shriveled up patheticly". However, she misses all the members of her first guild. The day the Ebon Legion was disbanded, she screamed and had a minor heart attack. Now, Parthene has joined another order. She still watches for her friends and particularly the General who disbanded them and plans to give him a peice of her mind. She isn't finished with him yet.

Faults and Other issues

She has three allergies: Holy magic (stress the word magic), alcohol of most sorts, and dairy (which you should know does NOT include Tauren). The first two issues can be solved with spreading kodo butter on the skin, if it comes out in a blue, bumpy rash. However, if ressurected with holy magic, she comes down with a cold and may need bed rest. Of course, needing it does not mean she will do it. Any cure to injested alcohol or dairy can easily be cured with eating raw meat, which Parth LOVES.

Quotes

You know, Parthene dosen't say very much.

Personality

Being the human equivalent of 18, she's feisty and has frequent mood swings. She rarely follows orders unless the commander has earned her respect. This happens subtly, but she's devoted. She is always into spying on various sinister orders for the heck of it. She's also not above giving a full-plated man a crotch-kick, but also has a caring heart and will defend her friends with her life...er...undeath...whatever it is. She's also annoyingly logical sometimes and carries a pocket dictionary.

When fighting, she tries to not wear plate because she can't move as well. She also hates heavy weapons, so she sticks to one-handed swords, her fists, and her teeth. She moves quickly like a cat stalking and will pounce unairingly on her prey, tending to notice their smell and memorize it. She is also quite paranoid. One thing she really hates is the war. After her family experiences, she believes all are equal in the eyes of whatever gods there are.

Abilities

Parthene really wasn't sure what to do when she grew up. She got private druid tutoring from her mother and Kora, one of her sisters, and rogue training from her father, who often argued about her future. She has a naturally keen sense of smell and can hear very well. This isn't because of magic, it's just a condition many people tend to have.

Parthene also speaks mild Draconic. She has always loved dragons and, in fact, has developed a religion that includes worshiping the five aspects plus a sixth she calls "The Lightspinner". She does this at Wyrmcrest temple and sometimes Tianastrasza comes down to visit.

Parthene's Child

Parthene now has an adopted child named Kytani! She is part High Elf and part Blood Elf. Kytani's face is disguised with a spell to make her look like an ugly human baby and is kept in Parthene's backpack. Her backpack is magical and can carry quite alot including 20 raptor skulls and the heart of Tusker!
