Seluna

Born in the moonlit valleys of Clairlune Gorge, Seluna was the daughter of two revered druids who spoke with beasts and guarded the ancient mana wells. Yet where others found harmony, she found silence. No ritual nor prayer could awaken her gift for shapeshifting; at best could she take the form of a moth for a heartbeat before collapsing. Her playful defiance soon turned into shame, as the Druidic Communion branded her a failure to her family's sacred legacy. Only the luna moths that danced over the glowing waters seemed to understand her loneliness.

When Orcish warbands stormed the Gorge, Seluna's kin transformed to flee or fight, but she could do neither. Desperate, she attempted to transform again, but failed and fell into a mana well—and the well answered. The raw energy fused with her essence, leaving her with radiant moth-like wings and heightened senses. To some people, her unprecedented transformation had broken nature's balance and must have been concealing some unseen power. Scholars studied her like a beast, conservative druids dissected her every breath, and soon Reaver mercenaries whispered of capturing her. Betrayed by those she once called kin, Seluna fled into the night, hunted for what she had become.

Rescued by the Lord of Clairlune's guards, Seluna was given sanctuary within the citadel instead of chains. Under the tutelage of the combat instructor, she learned the art of the spear and turned her unnatural agility into a weapon of unpredictable precision. Her flight made her the perfect scout, her resolve an unbreakable shield. She quickly rose as Clairlune's most proficient sentinel, soaring the skies to guard the walls she used to hide in. But her presence drew more and more pursuers to the citadel. With a heavy heart, she decided to leave overnight. This time, she fled not for survival, but to protect those she loved.

Years later, when Orc drums thundered once more, Seluna emerged from exile to strike back. Her sudden plunge into the heart of the Battle of the Hexwood left everyone in shock. The girl everyone had been relentlessly hunting was now revealing herself in broad daylight, far more powerful and elusive than anyone had imagined. Her mere presence drew entire legions of Wilderburg forces, allowing them to be led into decisive ambushes. Her spear cut through the battlefield, saving those who once called her a failure. The girl they hunted had become a hero. A wandering sentinel once more, Seluna fights for peace. To some, she is a myth. To others, a warning, a symbol of resilience, defiance and hope.
