Day 4 -- Threading the Needle

"Her knees trembled as she stood up before the council.  She thought about running out and leaving it all behind, but the thought of that poor boy urged her to speak."

I have to admit that I love writing female characters.  In fact, I find it ridiculously hard to write male characters at all; so, ...if we ever get to that lesson, you all can laugh at my abysmal attempts to create a believable male.

Today's prompt is not an easy one, especially since I really want to write more about my World of Warcraft characters.  I've been trying to get them into a good place for a while, and for the moment, most of their stories have stalled.  You got a chance to meet Rose in our last WoW story, but today, I think I want to introduce you all to Ren--her sister.

This character is actually where I came up with the name Syrenity (it has the word siren in it, which I absolutely loved the idea of--especially since Ren likes to sing).  But the diminutive of her name is Ren--or wren, if you want to give her name the bird spelling.  Wrens are tiny birds--but they have an inordinate amount of strength for being so tiny.  Also, wren's eggs are just the most beautiful shades of blue ever.

While Rose is a rogue, our Ren is a priestess--trained in the ways of the Light.  And today's prompt gives me a chance to explore where she is as a character now, as well as driving home some memories from her past.

I hope you enjoy reading about her as much as I have enjoyed writing about, and playing, her.
