Kiera Windchaser-Lightheart
Kiera is the younger sister of Sulnar and older sister of Erin. She was born on an estate on the edge was was to become known as Ghostlands to the stable keeper of a rich man who had the eccentric hobby (for a Blood Elf) of breeding horses. She was evacuated as a three year old as the scourge invaded but the refuge carriage on which she she travelled was ransacked by travelling bandits and all of the passengers killed apart from the frightened toddler who was hiding in the shadows. Out of a whimsy one of the bandits decided to keep her as a thief apprentice and as such she was trained, as well as specialised in entering buildings unseen and climbing walls inaccessible for people of larger growth.

At the age of ten years Kiera became too big for this purpose and sent off in the wilderness of the Ghostlands forest - where she no doubt would have perished, hadn't one of her fellow thieves given her survival training and shown how to build snares and shelters. Even so, the young girl couldn't survive just by hunting and scavenging unlucky travellers, and had to resort in a dodgy trade, for even dodgier plants with the Forsaken of Tranquilien.

During one of her forages, Kiera was captured by 2 members of the cult Veritatem and brought to the ruins of Silvermoon, where she was tortured and mistreated, but left alone for a while.

After a period of "medical experiments" by Erinalia, Kiera was discovered and freed by Erin Windchaser-Lightheart and Zenye Cie'niil and brought under the care of Dostarion Lightheart at the Farstrider Retreat, where he was a guest of Phoenix Warriors at the time.

He adopted the girl as his daughter and together they moved to Silvermoon where he met Kerinas Windchaser, his future bride to be. Thus Kiera finally had a family who cared for her well-being and schooling as well as teaching her the basic rules of social life.

Since then she moved around with Phoenix Warriors and Ignis Nix with all the consequences and inherited enmities. Her inborn talent for shadow magic was first woken and schooled by Toriza Kalin in disguise who then of course vanished again to let it cause future havoc.

Currently Kiera is a pupil at the Hearthglen Primary School, although she is sometimes going on missions with Ignis Nix and she shows considerable talent for creating wooden toys and likes working with wood in general.
