Background/History: Nestled in a modest dwelling in Nordrassil, a noble warrior and a dedicated priestess bore their first and only child, a baby girl with bright green hair and the beginnings of very defined markings on her face in the same emerald green. They were a simple family, they were not nobles nor royalty, he was not a high ranking general, and she was not a high priestess but they cared for their baby and raised her as best they could with all the love and affection as they could give her. They kept her sheltered from the horrors of war and brought her up believing that all was well with the world. This naive belief stuck for years and would have stayed with her always, had it not been for the day when, after a visit to friends in Winterspring, they were attacked by undead raiders and despite the best efforts of the warrior he could not save himself nor his bride, but between them they managed to protect their child. She was subsequently raised by a family friend who was a kindly old priestess that had taught the child's mother in the ways of Elune.
As the child grew to an age when it was time to leave home, her foster mother told her of her mother's wish for her to join the temple, but this was not suitable for the child, she was too hot tempered and could not sit still long enough to study. She often got herself into trouble, such as the day when she found herself cornered by little demons and had to be rescued by a young warrior named Metya who would then become her closest friend. One day a wise druid chanced upon the girl and saw the now fully developed marks on her faces, three slashes either side of her nose. He told her she was destined to live her life amongst nature, she wondered if that meant she was to be a druid and spent a lot of time sneaking into the clearings and school buildings where druids learned their skills. One day a different druid chanced upon her, he was mean and snapped at her that she could never be a druid. She stormed off and kept walking until she grew tired, she stopped at a lake to refresh herself when she heard a mournful cry. Looking around she saw a small spotted cat nestled near the body of a larger cat, surrounded by spiders. She beat the spiders away and took hold of the cub, the love she felt for that cat at that moment and the gratitude she felt it show, suddenly she knew what she was to be, she could communicate with this cat, he was her friend, she knew of only one life path were elf and creature shared such a friendship...Huntress.
She spent the next decades wandering Azeroth, doing time in the Sentinels and learning as much as she could about being a Huntress. It was during this time that she met another young huntress named Syrinia, the two were so alike it became a little spooky, they knew however that they had been brought together this way for a reason and continue to believe that Elune was behind their meeting. They call themselves sisters, filling in the position of family since neither of them knew if they had any blood family left alive. She joined with her friend, the warrior who had saved her that day and they travelled together from very early on, helping people were they could and fighting others where it was needed.
Now, Ferwyn and Metya have become mates and are still very close to Syrinia and her cat Lilith. The three of them can often be found together relaxing in inns or taking on fearsome enemies, inseperable to the end.
