Kordnand Pierce - History of a Cat

Kordnand was orphaned at the age of four when a Troll raid came through to flush the Alliance from the southern Barrens. Obliterating his family's home and killing his mother, father and older sister, he was saved when the chimney stack dislodged and fell, hiding him in the rubble which he eventually crawled out of. Having shown promise as a Druid, he had already mastered the change to a feline form and survived by that lifestyle for nearly ten years. He was found by a human and Draenei couple; Seth and Jadai Pierce who lived in central Ashenvale, after they discovered the house raiding feline was a child they decided to raise him properly. Almost completely feral from his life, he only remembered that his family had been killed and held an intense hatred of the Darkspear trolls.

He became a bit of an outcast, with his frequent bursts of animal behavior and habitual feline tenancies such as licking his hands and cleaning himself, or purring, even in the form of an elf. Kordnand was dissatisfied and uncomfortable with his bipedal form, and only used it sparingly, preferring to prowl around in feline form nearly 24/7. Despite his outward appearances and behaviors, Kord had proven himself a kind and wise, though quiet and somewhat introverted man who found many prospects in love, but any female he would come across could not hold an emotional attachment with him, and he remained distant through any relationship he formed. When he was seventeen, he began to outwardly express affection for other men, though he preferred the Draenei or Night Elf races. His mother accepted the fact that her son was different, but his father grew more and more distant, eventually abandoning Kordnand all together. When his mother passed away, shortly after his twentieth birthday, Kordnand left his home to their birth daughter Shanari and sought to travel the world, and eventually find the trolls responsible for killing his family.

Personality Traits: Independent, wise, kind, but sometimes seems to be angry at the world. He is very quiet, and quite shy unless he knows someone. He's quick with wit, but doesn't have much of a sense of humor, and he prefers to have a sort of 'scraggly' appearance.
