Description Everyone, meet Luotian.

She is, obviously, not an orc. But she thinks she is.

To make a fairly short story even shorter, her parents went with the prince to the Outlands. But her mother soon became frightened by what the way her race was going. When they tried to leave, they tried to kill her.

Her mother escaped and gave birth to her, but died then of her injuries. An orc mother who had recently lost her own child found her and, unwilling to just let her die, brought her back to part of the clan.

Because of this choice, the orc's family was exiled to Azeroth, and eventually met up with Thrall and the others. Durotar is where Luotian and her two brothers (who I have yet to make up) now live.

Ta da .

Luotian is a bit young to be starting her world adventure, but she is desperate to prove that her 'mother' made the right choice by letting her live-- she CAN bring honor and strength to her clan, even if she is ugly and pink.

Seriously, she really thinks she's just a deformed orc. She didn't see another elf for most of her life, and is very confused when she runs into them later. She becomes convinced that all the deformed orc babies like her somehow survived and became a race of their own.

Flawed logic, but she's still very young .

And...that's Luotian in a nutshell. I rather like her .

The picture is just her, hanging out in Durotar. The bright background colors kind of make her look like she just stepped out of a Disney animated series, doesn't it? Oh well.

Edit: BTW, me and all my characters (Luotian, Yuukan, and Yuukiko) all play on both sides of the Silverhand server. You're always more than welcome to play with us .

Thank you . Tia is hilarious, and I love her to bits. If I could figure out how to draw all the Horde races, I'd do a comic with her.

If I remember right, at age 12, an Orc becomes an adult, which can also explain why she's so young. (I believe that was in Rise of the Horde, by Christie Golden).

Oooooh, good point . Because I seriously doubt elves do.

The only thing I have to base of is the...I think it's volume 4 or 5 of the Hereos graphic novels, with Thrall's mom. She was older than that, but not by much.

The only downside is that I'm not sure there are enough years in the game for your character to currently exist in a cannon time line. [link] I'm not certain when the elves crossed to Outland, however.

The timeline itself is rather tricky. Supposedly, our characters would have been to young to fight in the wars before but it seems to me like they would have HAD to to be adults now.

That's why they call it lore, not canon. It's allowed to conflict.

The Frozen Throne (when the elves first go to Outland) ends 26 years after the first war. It's now (as of WotLK) 32 years after the first war. He's growing awfully fast for a six-year-old, at most, of a race that lives longer than humans.
