User:Lemona1d/Katherine Elle

Katherine Elle is a half-night elf, half-human and is the real life personification of user Lemona1d. She is partially a druid and an extremely efficient shape-shifter, while also being wildly proficient in the practice of mist-weaving magic utilized by the monks in the world. Katherine's father was a human, while her mother a night elf.

Background
Katherine is part of an unprecedented coalition between the Bronze Dragonflight and mortals. Katherine has volunteered to allow herself to be tossed into the throes of time, showing up in olden times when strife and despair are at their peak. With the help of others that have joined this odd new cause, the girl uses her wits, her shape-shifting skills, and the aid of her allies to perform tasks such as gathering intelligence on the most heinous of Azeroth's past evil-doers.

Stories
Katherine Elle and the Black Empire is a short about Katherine's quest back in time to the world of primordial Azeroth to uncover information about the ancient races brought forth by the coming of the Old Gods.

Author's Notes Version (AKA The Abridged Story)
Katherine is the fictional counterpart to my real life self. She's exactly everything I would want to be if I was suddenly, magically, unrealistically sucked inside of the Warcraft universe.

Katherine's mother was a night elf druid who practiced the art of shapeshifting like many of her druidic allies. Her father, on the other hand, was a traveling human monk who spent much of his life wandering pretty much every corner of Azeroth, becoming buddy-buddy with as many different peoples as possible, typically with the aid of alcohol. Basically, to put it politely, he was a bit of a hippie with a penchant for believing in the superstitious and exercising nontraditional methods of medicine and magic. His affection for learning of other cultures paired with his studious nature led him to practicing a strange conglomerate of restorative magics very analogous to the mistweaving of Pandaren monks. So when put together, out comes Katherine -- a half-elf with the ability to shapeshift combined with the capability to work with healing magics; basically, she's a druid skilled in form taking with an aptitude for mending wounds far beyond simply harnessing the balance of nature.

Eventually Katherine joins an experimental crowd of peoples who work alongside the Bronze Dragonflight in an extremely risky attempt to alter the timelines of history without causing catastrophic permanent damage. This typically involves going back into time to gather intelligence on an enemy, but also includes showing up quietly and eliminating nameless bad guys to give the good guys a better chance of surviving the battle. Such events only include the most dramatic that Azeroth has seen, such as the early wars between the old gods and elemental lords, or the Burning Legion invading.

Finally, Katherine ends up as a demon hunter and member of a different party altogether. She joins fellow elf Nylaria and a few others as they struggle to contain the Legion at the Broken Isles.
