Lyreaveil, Nightborne Elf Rogue

Character Name: Lyreaveil, Nightborne Elf Rogue
Lyreaveil is a nightborne rogue that grew up in the city of Suramar, a glorious elven city that stood the test of time for over ten thousand years. Nightborne society closed themselves off from the rest of the world, and during that isolation, her people faced many challenges, including the division of citizens by class. Many who were not well off turned to crime to make it by, and those that did ran the risk of banishment. A fate worse than death as expulsion from the magical city meant being cut off from the Nightwell, a magical font of energy that sustained Suramar and its people for all of those thousands of years. Those cut off from its power withered, body and mind alike, turning to little more than mindless zombies. Lyreaveil lost her parents to banishment, leaving her to grow up an orphan on the streets. She survived mostly on petty theft until the guards started to crack down the district she was squatting in.
Guards weren't the only ones to catch onto her thievery. Where the guards saw a petty criminal, the criminal underworld of Suramar saw a potential ally. Taking her in, she started low on the ranks, mostly working as a spy and running messages between syndicate members as a courier. As she got older, she took on more dangerous responsibilities. Working as an assassin for the Criminal Elite. Over time, she saw how her actions caused the Criminal Elite to gain political power. A cycle she was seeing come full circle for the first time in her young life but one that ravaged Suramar for all of those years. A never ending cycle of class warfare and she found herself next to members at the top. The thought crossed her mind as to who would then dethrone them, and cause them to be cast out. Something with the cycle changed, Suramar was no longer isolated. Three foreign powers came to make a presence within the city. A group known as The Horde, The Alliance, and the demonic forces of The Burning Legion. Her home city became a regular battle ground for these forces. A civil war erupted in Suramar she finds herself in the middle of.
Here we see Lyreaveil quietly contemplating her place in the world. Suramar’s bubble of isolation has burst, and all of a sudden Lyreaveil found herself unsure of her future now more than ever. Her people split in two, three armies at their gates, and she was but one person, where was her place in this, what could she do to make a change, and which side would make the most positive change for herself and her people?
I made two versions of Lyreaveil, with and without her mask and I had a lot of fun drawing this painting commission! What do you think? :)
