Eusi Grimhoof

=Physical Description=
 * Garments/Armor: When going to war (which is often), she wears the armor and weapons that are needed to fight her best. But when she is acting as a diplomat of her station as Warseer, she wears her ceremonial armor: Dark fur-trimmed mail armor accented with gems and animal fangs, heavy grey velvet cloak, and a vicious-looking pair of axes, gifts from the Frostwolf Clan with whom she battles with often.
 * Other: Eusi is NEVER seen without gloves in public. Her hands beneath them are withered and decayed in appearence.

=Personality= Eusi is one of the most friendly, helpful, and kind-hearted types you could ever meet. A chronic drinker, she's never without a smile and a story. It's hard at times to tell when she's sober and when she's not, as she doesn't seem overtly affected by alcohol. Some guess that she just laughs more when she's drunk and smiles a bit wider. She doesn't like to talk too deeply about herself and her past with strangers, and will dodge such questions with practiced ease. She tends to have a morbid sense of humor, given the life she's led, but she generally means well. When there's fighting to be done, however, that smile looks a whole lot less friendly, and she becomes focused and predatory once blood is shed. She is fiercely protective of friends and loved ones and will throw herself against unbeatable odds in their defense.

=History= Eusi's conception and birth are strange stories to tell. Her mother, a Forsaken, consulted with Undercity's apothecaries so that she might find a way to conceive a child with her tauren mate, hoping to defy the sterility of their race and lead a normal civilian life. Through advanced chemistry and a surrogate tauren mother to grow the fetus within, Eusi was born. But when it was discovered that she had passed the Plague onto her infant child, the Forsaken was ashamed and horrified, consumed by guilt. She refused to take the child, leaving her in the care of the surrogate female tauren; the Forsaken woman and her tauren mate returned to the frontlines, never to be heard of again. Eusi was then taken to the tauren's tribal homeland in Winterspring to be raised as one of their own--the Grimhoof; those whose hoofprints tread in places no other tauren would dare call home. The new mother's tribesmen were not as understanding or receptive of the child as she. The Chieftain had the child named "Eusi", meaning "darkness" in the Taurahe tongue. She was deemed outside the Earthmother's blessings, and was only tolerated because murder was not an acceptable practice within their culture. As the young calf grew in the frigid lands, she began to show signs of some odd disease. As tauren are among the races the Scourge cannot convert, the Plague could not kill her, only gnaw in vain at her body from within, much like a parasite. All of the medicine men's salves and ointments could do nothing to slow the damage being done, and when she appeared to thrive in spite of them, they were left alone; accepted as the odd marks of a dark, cursed child. In her adolescence, she announced that she wanted to become a shaman, and they laughed at her. The mocked her that the spirits would never answer the call of a leper. To spite them, she left her tribe and journeyed long and far into the unfamiliar wilderness. There, she sat in the snow, unmoving, for weeks, straining to hear the voices of the wind that howled around her. Just when she felt ready to give up, she heard the faintest of whispers. And from those whispers, she could listen, learn, and understand. The winds mentored her for many months, teaching and explaining the ways of the Earthmother and her creations. Eusi hungrily absorbed the spirit's every word. Only when the wind instructed her to seek the Horde did she finally leave Winterspring to pursue her destiny in warmer climates. It was among the orcs that she learned the fine arts of war and glorious combat. She relished in the rush of adrenaline, the sprays of blood, and the clash of metal. And when she tired of sparring, she would wander the lands, seeking any opportunity to test herself in her boastful and arrogant youth. Only when one of her supposed "exploits" nearly cost her her life did she again hear the voice of the wind spirit again. She learned from it humility and patience, employing these in combat. Her training paid off when an emissary of the Frostwolf Clan of orcs approached her, enlisting for aid. Seeing in them a chance to prove herself, she fought for the defense of Alterac Valley time and time again. To this day, wherever the Horde and its allies call out for aid, Eusi is among the first to charge the frontlines, unbeknown to her, following in the footsteps of her father, Masil Dawnhorn ... and her mother, Poxxia Frostblood.
