Lancelia is a fresh-faced paladin who shows the typical signs of a recent squirehood graduate: hand-me-down armor and weapons that have been lovingly polished and repaired despite their age, a slouching posture that she often struggles to correct, and fresh training wounds that are haphazardly bandaged. If it weren't for the fact that she travels alone, most would assume that she's still an apprentice.

Still, this young human holds her position with pride. Her head is always level, her blue eyes are constantly scanning her surroundings, and her stride is strong and sure. Lancelia's confident maturity is betrayed only by her youthful appearance. Freckles dust the bridge of her upturned nose, her smile is dimpled and wide, and her body is stuck somewhere between womanhood and the awkward teen years she just left. Her wavy black hair is cut into a short bob, framing a round, soft face.

Lancelia speaks with a slight Arathi accent and smells like armor polish. The only jewelry she wears is a necklace with a red hawk pendant.

Age: 
20
Home: 
Stormwind City
Birthplace: 
Stromgarde
Origin: 
Arathi

Born and raised in Stromgarde, Lancelia's parents wanted nothing but the best for their only child. When the city began to crumble during the Third War, her parents sent her to Stormwind for priestess training, fearing for their daughter's safety and future. Her father eventually died during one of the Defias raids, but she often returns to Arathi to visit her mother.

At first, Lancelia seemed like a good fit for priesthood. It became apparent, however, that her tomboyish nature and incredible physical resilience better matched the call of a fighter. She eventually became a squire and served beneath Volrin Borin, an ex-Knight of the Silver Hand who relocated to Stormwind after the fall of Lordaeron. He was a strict and difficult teacher, but Lancelia worked hard and endured the training.

Now that she is a full-fledged paladin, Lancelia is eager to explore and learn about the many different races of Azeroth. There is still some old-school stuck in her brain thanks to her training--she hates most of the Horde races and she sometimes has a black-and-white sense of what is right and wrong. She is, however, open-minded about the other races of the Alliance, especially the Gilneans who recently arrived from the north. She also holds a particular fascination with the Scarlet Crusade, although this interest is entirely academic.
