Everything for the sake of Azeroth, but what welcome to I get..? Pitchforks and sharpened letter knives.

Religion
Donïa is an unyielding believer in the Holy Light, all who oppose It shall burn. She strictly follows the three virtues and prays each morning, night, before eating something and before and after bloodshed is about to take place. The sole thing that has kept her alive from time to time is her strong faith. As a young girl, her mother Gabriella, who was a Human Priestess, wanted to see Donïa as a High Priestess when she grew up. She thaught Donïa about the Holy Light, but Donïa saw fencing and riding as more fun than her priestly studies. Donïa believe that the Light revere the virtuous, and that the Light do not hate the sinner, but the sin and that if you pay the right price through repentance you'll be redeemed. In Donïa's eyes, Light's forgiveness is most important, and that her own task as an Arbiter is to channel the Light's judgement upon those who do not volunteerly repent for their crimes and sins.

Donïa believe that the earthly life is just a trial for every being to pass, or at least try. Those that pass will reach Light's grace and be able to spend their afterlife in Its sanctuary, those that do not pass will have to repent in pain that'll torment their souls until they've paid penance to the Holy Light and first then they'll be countenanced to enter the sanctum of the Holy Light. Therefore, death is not the end of life, merely another obstacle you need to pass to bathe in the Light's shine.

The Forsaken
That there has been a break loose made by Sylvanas in the Scourge Donïa know well, but the only intereset she sees in that is two plagued factions fighting each other. No matter what knowledge they may hold, they are still Undead and therefore of the Scourge. The Forsaken isn't less undead just because they have a free will. She also believes that when a person dies and lives again as Undead, the past life doesn't matter, if so Uther Lightbringer's undead corpse would walk up to her with an own free will, he would be treated just like any Scourgeling there is. An undead being is bound by darkness, and she believe it is a torment for the individual, therefore, purging it would be a favour not to herself, but to the individual in question.

The Argent Dawn
These infidel scums are terrorizing Lordaeron with their corrupted beliefs, since they are allied and allows Forsaken to join their ranks, they are no more than another branch of the Scourge, it stings in your tongue to even talk with one of their members. What they deserves is the gallow, and when Lordaeron is cleansed, gallow is what they'll get. Their cause might be righteous, but they try to achieve it with wrong means, therefore their whole meaning is tainted, they have no chance to survive in the long run, they will not last.

Followers of other religions then the Holy Light
"... Those who have not given themselves over to the Light are mere servants of evil. They must be destroyed." --Kirrik the Awakened

Though Donïa isn't a strict follower to these words, she believes all living people has a chance to change if they haven't been too deep in the shadows for too long. As long as the person isn't so badly tainted by the malice, lust and evil of the world, then there's a chance to convert her or him into the righteous, and obviously only, Holy Light.

Liongard
Donïa is the daughter of the ruler of a noble house named Liongard, this noble house is a legacy and is inherited by the oldest in the younger descending generation of the person who keeps it now. But this oldest have to be married before he/she can inherit the legacy, if this oldest is not engaged in a Holy matrimony, or has been excluded out of the legacy on other ways, the legacy will go to the second in line, the step younger in that generation. If none is left, it will go to the oldest in the generation anyway, even if she is not married or if she's excluded.

Youth in Lordaeron.
Donïa's youth was rather calm, she grew up in Cinderhome under peaceful circumstances, yet she was trained to become a righteous seeker of justice, a Paladin of the Holy Light. Her father, Jol Ithiel, was the ruler of Liongard, a counthood which has been always been in the Ithiel dynasty. Donïa has a few hobbies like most other girls, though her fencing skill was remarkable, one of the better in Lordaeron, something Cinderhome could be proud over. Something else she did fancy was riding, on her faithful horse Charlotte she often spent her days drifting away from reality while exploring Lordaeron's every edge and corner. She was thaught how to write and read in common, also she learned Thalassian. Since she was a beautiful, adorable girl, she was often taken with Jol and her human mother Gabriella on parties and the likes in case there'd be a possibility to combine two rich families through her. Though, Donïa did not show interest, and since Jol was an understanding man, he patiently waited. Time went, at the age of fourty, she noticed a girl, a human girl named Viella Cottonfield. Constantly slaving for her family's sake. Viella lived in Caer Darrow, a few hours away from Cinderhome, she had grown up in a hardworking family, not a noble one. Yet Donïa seemed to fall for Viella, the way she smiled at her as she passed in her red, blue and golden Ithielian colours, riding on the brown pinto Hope. But no matter how much Donïa tried, she could never get close enough, or get attention enough to start up a conversation even, disheartened, she gave up the dreams of Viella, she studied harder, her training went on better and no one could complain about her diligence.

First War - Fall of Stormwind
Donïa is thrown into her uniform, sent south to defend the Nation of Azeroth from the Orcish hordes. Her officer education led to a promotion, sergeant in the army of Lordaeron. Even if the humans were driven back throughout Azeroth, back to the very gates of Stormwind, where they perished, where King Llane was assasinated by the Orcs, Donïa grew experienced in warfare, showing her courage and strength a number of times.

Second War - Post Second War
Donïa did under the Second War take action in Battle of Blackrock Spire under command of Uther Lightbringer and did several times defend the area of Lordaeron such as Hillsbrad and the Northlands, amongst them Tyr's Hand. She took action against the betrayors of Alterac under Lord Lothar's command. All before the time of the Battle at the Great Portal (Dark Portal), Donïa were freed from her duty and was able to return home, but her thirst for Justice made her enlist once more to join up with the Alliance to end the war together with them.

After the war Donïa devouted her powers to studies of the Light and to sponsor the rebuild of the Northlands, she settled down in her parents home of Cinderhome. After a while in peace, Donïa became bored with sitting home and look out the window and dream. So she contacted a captain from the sea nation Theramore who promised to take her with him to Theramore Isle, therefrom she rode through the south Kalimdor, while visiting the Taurens of the Cenarion Circle she learned a lot about the natures powers, among them how to heal and use the soil properly. Half a year later, Donïa returned to Cinderhome. Upon her return, she re-joined the Silver Hand.

Two years later the plague struck Lordaeron and Donïa did all she could to find a way to stop the infection, but nothing seemed to help.

Third War.
The Scourge invasion of Lordaeron struck Donïas mind and heart hard, since she was a high ranked Knight she led troops to defend Cinderhome from the Scourge attackers, the defense ended up terribly bad; The Scourge succeeded to surround them which led to lack of escape routes, The Undead army was ravenous and the abominations crushed the Knights easily, The Necromancer in their ranks weren't taken out quick enough and could continue to summon and order his troops to attack. Donïa watched her family die (Which she later demanded to take care of personally), she saw her brother fight til he fell, she even killed her own -still living sister- cause she wore the infection. And Donïa feared that this wasn't all. Her sister Belliénne fled with Cecill to Hearthglen, but they were attacked and Belliénne was captured while she utterly tried to defend her sister. Cecill herself managed to run into protection of Mardenholde Keep. Itenas, Donïas third sister, disappeared mysteriously without a trace. When Donïa blew to retreat it was already too late, the most of her division were erased and included far too many injuries to regroup and make a full retreat. Donïa gathered a few of the Knights that could still fight with full strength and made their way through the Scourge lines and managed to escape to Hearthglen. When they arrived she heard the news about Bellíenne, Donïa spent that night on praying to the Light. The following day she took her mace and went out to search for Belliénne's corpse, the following night she returned without anything but a tarnished helmet.

The following days, Donïa fought to regain outposts in Lordaeron, and ordered a slaughter on captured citizens, which reached the Alliance's ears later. For several weeks they fought to gain a few yards. Donïa writes in a document: ''Every time you thinks you're safe, they attacks. As quick as I closes my eyes... I see it... it's death. The rapid attacks of the Scourge, burning villages, screaming children's, death. The last days I've treasured life more than ever before. I've held the hands of dying soldiers, I've told them that everything is going to become better again. The cold of the nights is unbearable, the chill inside my spine is breaking me apart. I doesn't cry, I doesn't feel anything. The morales and ethics has died out here, we are fighting for survival. The water we're drinking could as well be mud, the food we are eating could be taken from the ground. But I shouldn't complain, we officers gets double ration of mud. That I'm still alive I can thank the Light.''

Glory under the Light.

Donïa Kheldrin Ithiel.

Donïa did already now show signs on Post-Traumatic stress. Shortly after the time this document were dated, Donïa received a letter from an Alliance courier. The letter was from the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Grand Marshal Garithos demanded Donïa to surrender herself to the Alliance and leave the charge of her troops to himself cause of the executed citizens. Donïa was rageous when she burned the letter and slayed the courier, therefrom she leeft her troops and rode home to Hearthglen to tactically regroup the forces in the field. Donïa denied the existence of this letter and could continue her fight from here, without remorse she first interrogated the prisoners till they said what she wanted and then they were burned alive.

Culling of Stratholme.
Donïa joined up with the Knights of the Silver Hand and followed them to Stratholme, there she met Arthas Menethil, together with Uther the Lightbringer. Donïa realized the city had been infected by the Undead Plague. Arthas sent order about its cleansing, but Uther disagreed. Donïa followed the prince to still her fanatic thirst and turned her back towards Uther.

After the cleansing, Arthas sailed to Northrend to chase Mal'Ganis, which Donïa couldn't realize why, since Lordaeron were still burning in agony.

End of Hope.
Donïa's hope was renewed, she fought valiantly against hordes of Plagued beasts. But one day came that Donïa hadn't expected, a few Knights of the Silver Hand came to bring her to the capital Lordaeron. When she arrived, her rank and military status was taken from her. And then brought to the King where she received the title "Lady", shortly after that, Donïa was informed about withdraws from Lordaeron to the Kingdom of Stormwind. Donïas world broke down that moment, to retreat from her beloved homeland was nothing she were prepared to do. In her rage, she rode out to the Paguelands and declared the news to her Knights. The most of them left her, but some resigned from the Alliance army and followed Donïa.

Donïa now.
Donïa's wrath took her through the Third War, demons and undeath have since then fallen for her hands. Her current motivation is to put an end of the Darkness, so each and every Light kissed being may smile in happiness once more, the only way to complete this is to either convert everyone to the true path of the Holy Light or purge those who opposes It.

"Ripping, bashing... Crushing, picking... Chopping and stealing... Not asking, smashing... Tearing, hurting... Burning, then running... Sawing, stripping.. Breaking... Mindlessly corrupting our lands, Pulling the head off a doll, Suddenly they feels an urge again... To rape our lands... The sickness is the Moonwolves, causing pain and disaster."

Donïa recently adopted the ranger Lenarie, she promised to take her under her own wings 'til she were ready to fight in the Plaguelands. Lenarie's parents had been slaughtered together with the rest of the Suncrown Village, so Donïa saw it as her duty to take care of her. Lenarie died shortly after, slain by the Scourge in a futile attempt to push through the Plaguelands, to Donïa's great despair, the body was never found.

"Kingess" of the Gordok
Together with her friend Annetta Bloodtear, Donïa ventured into Dire Maul and slaughtered King Gordok and earned the title King of the Gordok, as well as they retreived the Gauntlet of Gordok Might, therefore they are both royalties of the Gordok.

The Arbiter
Donïa recently took the responsibility of the Arbiter, together with her great friend Senmai, the crime solving Paladin, they’re staunch supporters of the reconstruction and cleansing of Azeroth. The Arbiter deem believers worthy and judge unbelievers as they deserve. The Arbiter do not hate the sinner, but she hate the sin. Therefore she’d, by any means necessary, stop the sinner from committing dreaded deeds. Her foremost goals are justice, peace and freedom, this perfect trinity the Arbiter strive for. Only when this trinity has been reached, can the Arbiter rest.
