Appearance and Traits
The tomboyish daughter of Drinlana Isil'Litla Denselde, is quite young and can be no more than a teenager by human standards. She has full cheeks, subtle curves and a taught tightly muscled frame that has its share of fine silver scars. Her beloved companion Persis will say that she is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful creatures in all of Azeroth. But she is s simple girl with short silver hair somewhat messy and a charming crooked smile.

The child warriors' bright shimmering eyes are welcoming, extremely playful and curious. However in battle they reveal no fear and possess in them a calm beyond their years. Her voice is youthful and often filled with enthusiasm and excitement as she greets friends and companions. She also speaks with a bit of a strange accent, stringing her words together here and there. Though only visible when she wears certain suits, one particular mark on her right hip glows a dim firey red and now and again when her emotions are high shimmering blue runes will appear on her collar, chest and neck. The wound on her hip was sustained from her confrontation with the firegod and lord of the Molten Core Ragnaros.

Her frame shows faint scars, from the many battles she has entered, but unless you looked carefully, they would be difficult to see. Siji is always seen to be happy and bubbly, quelling much dispondency with her presence alone. As a Silver Blade of Shardracona she is fiercely loyal to her family. She is also the voice of her mother, Drinlana Isil'Litla Denselde, when duties keep the guildmistress far from home. Drinlana herself has taught the young Siji much of leadership and trust; the young shield maiden is often seen leading her guildmates against foes from all reaches of Azeroth and Outland.

Siji is an accomplished Blacksmith, focussing much time on the art of the Weaponsmith, and is a Master Swordsmith. She is also nearly a Master in the art of Jewelcrafting.

A Hint of Self Expression
Siji's half elven adopted sister Constanz Clearwater Denselde and Cleodora Silvestri, the Archmage and Keeper of Shardracona's Mages Tower recently slipped away to booty bay where they saw a skilled goblin body artist. In his dimly lit shop Young Siji had several piercings made to adorn her elven form. Her belly button has been pierced with a ring a shimmering ring of Truesilver as have her earlobes and slender ear tips.

Dance, Drink and Fun
Siji is young, skilled, powerful and dynamic. She is growing and coming into her own. She is a leader, strategist and has been educated by experience and by her noble and ancient mother, Drinlana Isil'Litla Denselde. However she is still a "teen" and as a result is fond of the things all young ones are fond of, a good time with close friends. She has also been heavily influenced by her many human friends. It's not uncommon for Siji to be seen slipping away from the battles of the world and heading to relaxing locations with her friends, Connie, Cleo, Persis, Asta and Anita for an evening of dancing, skinny dipping and drinking. All of which she keeps secret from her mother Drinlana.

A History of Victories
Despite her recent retraining to perfect the way of the warsword, the child of Drinlana Denselde, has proven that heart, skill and experience go a long way when it comes to raising sword and shield to defend friends and allies. As a result Siji’s Shield and Blade have defended companions against some of Outland’s most fierce leaders. From Naga, to elemental, to demon and Blood Elf. The following represents a list of the foes shes had had the honor of seeing fall at her feet in battle.

Youth and Understanding
It is well known that elves have lost their immortality, Drinlana has kept the sadness and despair of this fact locked away and in private conversations, has explained much to Siji about the loss their people suffered nearly 8 years ago. Despite this fact the Kaldorei still age slowly, and in this age of mingling and mixing of cultures and races, Siji silently understands that she will likely be this age for the duration of the lives of most of her friends. She often stares at her friends, Cleo, Connie, Ronoenn, Crowtin Lofn, Kylei, Valentin, Tiforis and other humans. As well as Dwarves such as Fjuinen, Dremmel and the long distant Korraxe. She thinks of Ashyrn, and Widjit, Pepepper and Melindy. All friends and all will pass before she she ages and fades from life.

It is in times like these that the usually happy, plucky beautiful tomboy of a girl will lay upon her ancient mothers lap and weep. Sometimes for hours on end. This is a side she never shows to her companions. A side she has never even shown to Persis or Xanthalia. It is a sad secret shared only between mother and daughter and one that Drinlana, in this day of mixing and mingling, saddened by as well. For they both fear and dread the passing of these wonderful and courageous, noble hearted souls they have come to call family.

From Silver Guardian to The Silver Blade of Shardracona
For 60 seasons the child warrior fought with a singular objective. To protect friends and family. And a Singular style, Sword and Shield. Siji was the consumate protector and has raised her shield to face the fury of many foes throughout Azeroth; the dark professors of Scholomance, the wicked trolls orcs, and wyrmkin leaders of Black Rock Depths and Black Rock Spires. She has cut down Baron Rivendale and General Drakkisath, Lucifron, Magmadar, Gaar, Onyxia, Kurinaxx, Ragnaros and more. Her shield as faced, sword, fire, frost and claw but something happened that changed her profouldly.

A vision of a great battle, her Last Stand woke her in the middle of the night. In her hands she grasped the blade known as Destiny. In her dream there was a great darkness that threatened to slay her friends and family and love. Her mother Drinlana and Thiemis, her sister Constanz, her love Persis, and everyone was fleeing from a and enemy too great to defeat. It was then in the dream that Siji threw down her shield and took hold of her war sword. She turned to face the oncoming faceless enemies knowing that this may truly be her last act. It was then that she woke.

Time passed and whisperings began within the small village surrounding the Shardracona estate. Drinlana had visions, Faeyth as well and Xanthalia. Mysterious letters arrived that set Xanthalia's love, Corteran on a sojurn into the far reaches of Mount Hyjal. Then there was the letter tnat arrived to the halls. A letter of almost direct threat and challenge. A letter outlining every member of of the halls and village, claiming that we were not prepared for what was to befall us. Then it happened, the Dark Portal opened and demons began their attack on Azeroth.

Her decision was made and soon she shed the title of Silver Guardian along with her shield and took the title of Silver Blade and vowed to learn whe ways of the great sword and take the battle to the demons of the Outlands. Since making that decision she as honed her skills and and used the resources of the Outlands to fight the demons, fel orcs and blood elves and anything else that stood in her way.

The Way of the Protector
The Silver Blades view of combat and tactics: Shield and Sword

"Protection is a state of mind, a presence and awareness of th' field of battle. Defending ones friends and allies seldom if ever means focusin' upon a single enemy until it is slain. To protect, y'have t' be be vigilant, responsive, quick thinkin' an' extremely mobile. They must be calm and composed in battle, and gather their energy and rage inwards and hold it. Then use that rage as a means to do what must be done to gain the attentions of their enemy and keep 'em. To pour out your energies on one foe quickly exhausts you and leaves you unable to act quickly and effectively. To be a protector is t' be the shield that stands t' defend your compnions primarily, it's t' be a strategist and t' have command of all stances you are trained in. Command of th' battlefield.

I shift my stance to become ready for battle and charge into a gathering of enemies, demoralizing them with a warcry, splitting the ground with a stomp that sends my fury crackling and coursing through 'em. Then they're on me clawin', scratchin', tearin'. This is when I grin. My feet shift, my eyes widen, my shield raises and I become aware of as many of my enemies as I can. I prepare to defend myself.

I look to each, looking for weaknesses in their armor and strike at them. Sunderin' each as much as I can, strkin' herocally here and there, overpowerin', slammin' my sheild into them, bashin' those casters foolish enough t' begin chantin' near me. The more that attack the more focused I become, the more driven I am to fight.



The pommel of my sword'll come down on their heads stunning some. I'll twist my wrist and disarm some as well. Anything to lessen their ability to harm my companions and to keep 'em on me. The more I defend and evade and taunt and strike, the more determined they are t' do me in, which is what I want. I save my most devistatin' attack for these moments, striking each in so strongly that their desire to do away with me becomes singular and all encompassing.

I can't say that I always remain calm in these situations tho'. Often times when they threaten t' overwhelm me I'll let th' rage get the best of me. I'll release it, dropping defenses and cleave those around me. More so than that I'll often become a whirlwind and strike every one of them before switchin' my stance for battle, to again demoralize 'em, shake the ground with a stomp and defend again. Through it all I must be aware for that one foe that I may miss or who may slip away and be ready to intercept 'em, taunt 'em and strike them if things go really bad.

Defending is a state of mind, a use of talents and a dance through all you've learned and all you have trained for. It is not singular and seldom is it focused on the fall of your enemies. Instead it is focused on ensuring that your companions remain risen and ready and outta harms way."

As Friends See Her
This section is reserved for those who wish to add their thoughts about this character

Persis Anarane'Annare Denselde
Persis does believe, that Siji is the most beautiful creature in all of Azeroth. Both share the skill of the Shield Maiden, and the "Way of the Warrior". They are often seen fighting together, in the decaying rooms of Scholomance or Blackrock Spire, defeating General Drakkisath, himself, and his minions. When not in combat, both can be seen in the halls of Shardracona, giggling and laughing together, defeating all in hectic pillow fights, or quickly dashing to plunder the kitchen of Cinammon rolls or Pancakes.

Persis will tell you that Siji is brave, courageous and loyal, yet also sensitive, gentle, beautiful, loving, with the innocence of the child. both Persis and Siji love each other totally, wishing to spend the rest of their lives together in Azeroth.

Cleodora Silvestri
To Cleo, Siji represents the very best aspects that a young woman can embody, being both the youthful and playful young girl who loves pillowfights and fun pranks as well as the fierce warrior who can single-handedly stop immense foes from threatening her friends in combat. She could not have thought of anyone better to share the life of her good friend Persis, as the two of them share the same loving spirit. Cleo is always willing to go anywhere Siji is leading, and knows to expect a grand adventure and a roaring good time on the way there.

Xanthalia Ishaiya
Xanthalia has known Siji since they hunted together in the Vale. She adores the young shield maiden believing her to embody all that she admires most in both a strong woman and a protector. To Xanthalia Siji's courage and selflessness know no boundaries. She deeply appreciates Siji's ability to face some of the greatest foes in our world yet to maintain a happy child like innocence possessing a true and unbound love for life and people. Xanthalia once had a dream long ago that spoke of a child warrior she was destined to protect. When she met Siji she knew her search for that child had come to an end and her destiny had just begun. It is her life's task to remain by Siji's side and through the will and grace of Elune keep her safe.

Astadaa Kirsantii
The young Shaman believes Siji to have been blessed and protected by the holy powers of the universe. She also considers herself to be most blessed to count Siji and her beloved Persis among her closest friends, and is a willing accomplice in any of Siji's plans. She cannot wait until she is strong enough to venture into the Outlands at Siji's side and help to take back what was once the home of her people!

The Union of Siji and Persis


Siji and Persis have swoen before friend and family that their bond would be eternal and unbreakable. The two have been womderful friends since their first meeting in the recently sold Silverwing Tavern. They fought side by side against countless enemies and when not in battle, spent many hours on walks through Elwynn forest, Hillsbrad Foothills, the cliffs of Stranglethorn Vale and more.

Their adventures together have taken them to the far reaches of Azeroth and recently into the realm of Outland. True friends, room mates, confidantes, it took little time for their deep friendship to blossom into something more. At first for Young Siji, understanding these growing feelings for another girl were strange, scary and unnerving. But in time and with the patience and kindness of her family and friendsm she embraced her feelings and confessed her love for Persis.

In a secluded place in Stranglethorne Vale, Siji presented a ring as the humans do and took Persis' hand in hers. Slipping the ring on she asked for them to be bound forever in the custom of the humans and before Elune and Persis, with tears in her eyes, accepted.

Outland and Azeroth
As her journeys have continued on into Outland Siji, the Silver Blade and Xanthalia, the Silver Guardian of Shardracona have battled at the very foot of Illidans Black Tower and have defended the Outlands' peaceful settlements from Honor Hold to Windhammer Stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley, lending Blade and Faith to any and all in need. The things young Siji has seen and the battles she has fought have had a profound effect on her. Now when she sees the citizens of Darnassus, Stormwind, Ironforge and more she realizes how horrible a fate it would be for these innocents to fall to the hands of those demonic forces she has confronted and conquered. The same feelings hold true for those of the horde. To her we are all innocents being pitted against one another by dark powers.

Young though she may be, she has seen and faced legends, stood and conversed with the powers that have shaped the history of Azeroths 10000 years. She is changing inside, becoming more than Drinlana's daughter, becoming more than the young prankster and playful spirit of the halls. In the silent hours of the night as she sits to watch over the resting High Priestess Xanthalia, the magnitude of the events of her young life set in and she smiles, honored and eager to continue forging the path and meeting any and all challenges.

The Heart of a Lion
As mentioned before, young Siji, Silver Blade of Shardracona is an accomplished Blacksmith, Weaponsmith and is a Master Swordsmith. She has studied extensively on combat techniques and tactics. She has nearly mastered the one handed sword, one handed mace, two handed mace, dagger, one handed axe, two handed axe, pole arm, long bow, crossbow and her weapon of choice, the two handed sword.

Despite her age she is fierce. Despite her size she is incredibly powerful. She possesses the heart of a lion and hopes to one day forge the quintessential blade, the Lionheart Blade. She believes that she will indeed one day wield such a blade and when she does, woe to those who seek to harm those she loves.

The Forging of the Blade
Much time had passed and Siji faithfully stood guard over her beloved friend and Shardracona's High Priestess Xanthalia Ishaiya. As they traveled through Outland, the two had become closer than ever as they fought and won countless battles side by side. She loved Xanthalia and held the high priestess in great reverance. Together, as they journeyed, they came into possession of the many elemental motes. They combined them into their primal energies and through Xanthalia's powers as an alchemist, she was able to unbelievably manipulate these primal energies through alchemical knowledge, keen intelligence and sheer will. Xanthalia was truly a marvel. Possessing the power to heal and raise the dead, the power to wield energies that lay in essences and place them upon weapons and armor and now she possessed the ability to twist the primal forces of nature to her will.

Oftentimes Siji loked upon Xanthalia and felt her to be almost ascended. A creature of divinity. Almost a goddess unto herself. So few possessed all of these powers. Rarer still were those who possessed all these and the divine beauty, grace, poise and humility she carried as well. Truly Xanthalia was more than mortal and now, she carried a life within her. A life conceived from the union of her and a hunter older even than her mother, Drinlana. A man 10,000 years in age. Siji would die to defend her.

She watched in awe over the past days as she worked miracle after miracle with the primal forces. Concentrating as her hands shimmered then smiling softly as the crackling force that can only be Primal Might rose time after time from her perfect hands. On this day she had formed her fifth for the young warrior and handed it to her. Siji ran with excitement to place it with the others she had amassed.

One more she thought. Just one more. Kylei rode up to the mailbox in Stormwind and Siji greeted the noble lady knight warmly. Then, with much nervousness and humility she asked and Kylei granted the child warrior a loan of gold. Enough to purchase the last necessary Primal Might.

She ran to the forge, remembering the help given to her over past days by her beloved friend Xanthalia and the motes sent by Cleodora. She arrived and greeted her dwarven friends and they watched the young elven smith get to work. Khorium and hardened adamantite were forged and hammered into hilt, blade and pommel and infused with the crackling primal energies in the primal mights.

Hours passed, and with a final hiss and gout of steam rising from the waters of the forge the young warrior smiled, pleased beyond belief and raised her newly forged Lionheart Blade. "Finally, it is done!!" she thought. Holding the blade she smiled feeling fulfilled. Her quest was now complete! The blade was forged and would be used to fight for her family, its safety and its honor. Proudly she showed it to her beloved family and humbly smiled as they congratulated her. Polished and cooled and honed to razor sharpness she sheathed it on her back gathered all her great blades, spears and axes and sold them to the people of the city. They watched in awe as she relinquished her hold on these amazing weapons and she smiled telling them. "Dont worry 'bout it. I wont need thos' anymore. I never plan t'wield another weapon."

Then, she spun on her heels and stepped into the sunlight of Stormwind.

An Evolution in her Training
Having now mastered the way of the Great sword and spent months facing orc, ogre, demon and beastin the defense of the Outland settlemts, young Siji sat and remembered the days of fighting and facing any and all enemies with sword and shield. The feeling of an enemies blade or arrow glancing off her shield brought a smile to the young ones lips. This, coupled with the requests made by the diplomatic and religious leaders of these lands, to venture into the maws of even greater danger urged her to think carefully and plan.

She loved her Lionheart Blade yes. It was the one blade she felt most comfortable with. But there were rumors of another blade of greatness, one that only a Swordsmithing Master could ever hope to learn the secrets of, and even if they did, its balance was such that only a sword smithing master could wield one to its fullest potential.

She strolled about the Lower City of Shattrath, and came to the Orc Weaponsmith who held the secrets of all the worlds great blades and requested of him the knowledge to craft the blade known as Fireguard. He remembered her well. She showed him her Lionheart Blade and he nodded with a smile, reached into a chest and drew the plans for Fireguard. She bowed and smiled and set about the task of gathering the materials.

Much time has passed since that day and the young warrior has, through craft and quest, assembeled a suit of heavy armor that would serve to protect her more than any she ever possessed. This and her mastery og jewelcraft and gemcutting would enable her to cut stones to enhance them to even greater effectiveness.

She was and forever would be one who favored the great blade, but now, she would be able to stand with sword and shield and use the knowledge of her past, combined with armor and gems of her craft, to defend friends and family as a shield maiden.

A Warrior of Great Renown
Despite her young age Siji has served many a faction both in Azeroth and in Outland and is honored with many. As a result, quartermasters and great teachers from these various factions have opened their secrets to the young warrior and entusted her with them.
