Norien Eversummer
Norien is a quiet high elf priestess. You can occasionally see her during church mass, or sauntering by the canal. If you are not a decent person, however, you might run into her around some unexpected corners of the city too--if you did, keep your mouth shut about it, or some old town fellas might come to your door.

Occupations
Norien has been a trained priestess for at least 100 years. If the Church needs to support the army with personnel, she can also be an efficient military medic given her experiences in the Third War.

She is also an enchanter officially certified by Quel'Thalas, but her subschool is illegal in the south.

In addition to her daily work at the church, she is also active in the underworld of Stormwind. She is an extrodinary doctor who asks no questions, an appraiser of magical artifacts, and an illegal enchanter. She has friends everywhere amongst outlaws, casinos, smugglers and underground auction halls.

Looks
Norien has a beautiful head of silvery hair, which she usually ties back. From time to time she would let it down, allowing her to have a second, drastically different, characteristic. Her eyes are as blue as the water in tropical shallow sea, and clearer than the blue eyes of many high elves - but with less arcane brilliance.

Her skin is pale and she mostly wears white silk robes. She also prefers blue and light green accessories. The rosary she wears under her sleeve is made of pearls.

Norien is always accompanied by a white cat called Lyzz, sharing a pair of similar blue eyes with Norien. In ADP 25, it's Lyzz XVI.

Personality
Norien is not a typical priestess - despite the obvious approval from the Light, she is quite a cynic.

She is usually quiet like her cat - handling affairs with calmness, elegance and professionism, never showing excitement or fanaticism. She also shares the same chaoticness as her cat though - she only adheres to some necessary disciplines superficially, caring not rules that inconvenience her, or social status, or others' opinions.

Her empathy to those who are suffering is sincere. Her urge to rescue the wounded is particularly obvious. However, if she considers herself offended by someone in an unforgivable manner, she won't lose any sleep over hexing them to have nightmares for a week.

She often gives a teasing and flirtatious vibe when involved in conversations with prople she is familiar with or trust - or those who she finds interesting. Some of those who are familiar with her considers this the temporary revealation of her true nature.

She does not like endless conversations - exactly why she often sneaks out of confessionals.

Relationship
Norien has once birthed a half-elf illegitimate daughter long ago. She has never wedded nor sharing a stable relationship with any one partner, but she does have a plethora of partners, regardless of gender.

Backstory
Norien was born in southern Quel'Thalas in the summer of BDP 110. Her family, Eversummer from Sunsail Bay, had very recently lost their power among the Magisters of Silvermoon, and had to spend their nearly endless and equelly meaningless lives in the southern outskirt of Quel'Thalas.

The birth of Norien did not bring new hope to the Eversummers, as her downstruck parents were fanatically devoting their beliefs to the new faith brought by humans - the Light.

The early-stage Church of the Light of Quel'Thalas then fused many ancient elvish customs and observances into their religious practices, such as astrolatry - particularly solarism, less disciplines, more female clergy...Between these self-contradictory spiritual guidances, the upbringing of Norien is similarly filled with contradictions. Her family intended to raise her as a pious devotee, while training her to master her family's traditional enchantment skills with an open mind. She was encouraged to assimilate the doctorine of the Church with simplicity and fidelity, but also required to maintain relationships with other aristocratic offsprings with extravagance and decadence. To simply put, she was demanded to engrave onto her soul both the modesty of a servant of the Light as well as the pride of a Highborne.

Struggling between blind faith and questing for truth, between debauchery and temperance, between Sun and Moon, old and new, superficial and profound, light and dark, Norien was gradually sculpted into a cynic, a kind while curel, warm-hearted while cold-blooded, sincere while cunning, smart while silly, beautiful while ugly lady.

Just before the end of Norien's childhood, the Eversummer family joined a trip to Kalimdor, aiming at illuminating their savage ancestral land with the glory of the Light. A few weeks into the journey, the Light sent in their way a catastrophic disaster. Among all passengers, only Norien and a white cat from the kitchen survived--they fortunately encountered the roaming Wandering Isle, and those Pandaren fishermen rescued them to Shen-zin Su, willing to take care of Norien and the cat, which the Panderans named Li Tzu (translated from ancient Chinese "狸子", an umbrella term used by 7th century Chinese for small feline creatures, which Norien later shortened to Lyzz), before encountering another ship travelling to Quel'Thalas.

Norien had lived on the Wandering Isle for 7 years before she got to return home, at which point she was no longer a child. After her return to Quel'Thalas, the Church advertised her survival as a miracle of the Light, but no one answered her why the Light left her family as crab feed at the bottom of the ocean. However, she has stopped caring any more. Her time on the Wandering Isle taught her inner peace, and found her her place among the contradictions that troubled her whole childhood--between simplicity and luxury, she learnt to savour the plainness.

Later in life, she successfully obtained priestesshood within the Church of Thalassian, while being a Silvermoon-certified Enchantor as well as the guest linguistics lecturer of Pandaren at Falthrien Academy - which all support her independent and lavish lifestyle.

In BDP 34, Norien had a brief but passinate relationship with a handsome human mage on her visit to Lordaeron - the result of which was the birth of her half-elf illegitimate daughter at Stratholme. This is a secret neither the Church nor Quel'Thalas could tolerate. Fortunately Norien did not have to bother herself with his for too long: that mage took their daughter with him, both of whom never appeared in her life again, and there is no fourth person aware of this.

Norien has always buried this at the bottom of her heart, and seldom expresses sorrow for her daughter, because she knows that the beautiful Quel'Thalas can only give a hald-elf a more depression childhood than her own; She has also once suspected whether this is an unly mixbreed experiment meticulously planned by the mages, but she also quickly lost interest in contemplating the motivations of one she no longer loves.

(The half-elf daughter of Norien was brought up by her father in Dalaran and became a scholar. In BDP 10, she was employed by the Highwynde family of Alterac, and forced into marriage with her savage student - no one knows what happened then.)

After the catastrophe at Quel'Thalas in ADP 18, Norien Eversummer, surviving the disaster, joined a team of High elf refugee escaping southwards to the Kingdom of Azeroth. Within Stormwind city, the Church allowed Norien to join the ranks of clergy in the Cathedral of Light. However, because of the multitude of differences the Church of Thalassian have with the human church, she was in fact considered as a heretic and hence alienated - some even called her an elf whore behind her back. Her sallary was also often reduced as well. This resulted in the dissonance between her and the Church in the south, and kept her alone.

In order to improve upon this disadvantageous situation, Norien had to seek out other means of living, such as her excellent enchanting skills. Due to the Mage Quarter's monopoly, her clients are mostly outlaws, casinos, smugglers or underground auction halls--she quickly became the appraiser of magical artifacts, an illegal enchanter and an extrodinary doctor who asks no questions, protected by the criminal underworld of the Stormwind city. These incomes allow her to roughly manage a life half as ample as her old one, and allow her to tiptoe till ADP 25, the current year. If she is lucky--maybe longer.
