General Information[]
Scalesa is an adventuring mage of elven and human ancestry who serves the Alliance. She is fast becoming known for her pragmatic, if not somewhat excessive, approach to the many problems adventurers face, as well as her love of illusions both delightful and deadly.
History[]
Early Life[]
"Hearthglen? Oh, no, sweetie, I'm from a dumpy half-horser that's not even on the maps. Thanks for the compliment, though!" -Scalesa, remarking on the village of her birth
When asked about her past, SCALESA shares that she was raised by a trapper in northern Lordaeron in her parent's stead, having been rescued from an attempted drowning. Her foster mother was a warm soul and ensured that Scalesa faced as little hardship as she could. Her account jumps forward several years, to when she was apprenticed to a local "hedge wizard" who taught her "much prestidigitation, a little evocation, and a little conjuration" before they mysteriously vanished. She jumps forward once again, telling you that she took odd jobs as, for lack of a better word, a "magical errand-girl" until she felt the need to take "dangerous work" -- bounties on bandits, "babbling cultists", and wild beasts.
Scalesa's home was overrun during the Third Invasion of the Burning Legion and she took refuge in Dalaran before it fell and she once again fled, this time to Southshore.
Mastery and Discovery[]
"Change your song and quit calling me 'knife-ears' -- and don't call anyone else 'like me' that ever again -- and I'll guard your little dinghy for free. Educate yourself on why we don't like remarks like that, and I'll pay you." -Scalesa, negotiating with the captain of a merchant vessel
Biting back tears and bile, Scalesa went further south, to the rebuilt kingdom of Stormwind. She tells you that she seeks to sell her spells and "steady knife-work" in the defense and interests of the Alliance's people. In spite of the relative safety that distance and geography afford her from the threat of the demons and undead to the north, she remains on the lookout for anyone who might be under not-dissimilar influences.
