Appearance
Slight and precise in her movements, the bearing of someone trained young to sit still and study rather than to run or fight. Keeps her appearance neat almost to a fault. Tends to wear her ink black hair pinned back plainly, more practical habit from her Dalaran years than any fashion. Composed, studious, and quietly formidable, she gives the sense of a young woman who would rather be reading, and who has already noticed more about you than you would like.
Personality
Thoughtful, careful, and quietly diligent, she holds herself to exacting standards, in her studies as much as in her conduct. She is warm with family, especially her brother, though there's a formality to even her affection, old habits of a household that valued composure. She does not speak of the Fall of Dalaran unless pressed, and even then, only briefly.
Rumors
- They say she was the most promising student of her year in Dalaran, and that one of the Kirin Tor’s own magi had marked her for an apprenticeship before the city fell.
- Some claim she was buried in the rubble for a full day before her brother dug her out, and that she hasn’t been quite the same since.
- It’s said she keeps a journal in a cipher of her own making, and that she writes down everything anyone says to her.
- A rumor around the camps holds that she’s searching for a way back into the ruins of Dalaran to recover something she left behind. Some say books, others say something far more dangerous.
- Some whisper that the Thornwood Company’s ledgers are a good deal tidier than the Company itself, and that the young mage knows where every copper has gone, including the ones that shouldn’t have.
- Folk say she’s been seen near the Slaughtered Lamb in Stormwind more than once, though no one can say what business a noble bookworm would have in a place like that.
- They say her mother’s people still hold fortunes hidden away somewhere in Lordaeron, and that Alondra is the only one who knows where.
- Some swear she can read Thalassian as easily as Common and has been trading letters with someone in Quel’Thalas.
- It’s whispered that she has never once been seen to cry, not even for the friend she lost in Dalaran.
