Tziska Shadowspite

Tall and well-muscled, this elven woman has the watchful, wary bearing of a veteran of many battles. Her skin is shriveled and blackened over her form, frostbite run wild. She tends to keep her pale hair short and often favors armor or tops that show off her biceps. Pale blue ink shimmers on her bared skin in intricate runic designs both Ebon and arcane.

Though the clatter of her armor is noise enough, she often adds to it by tapping the flat of a dagger rhythmically against her thigh or the end of a pen in a rapid tattoo against the nearest flat surface.

At a Glance:
Smells like... A light jasmine perfume mixed with machine oil, crushed greenery, and old blood.
Runic tattoos. Tattoos inked in snowfall blue cover her arms, torso and legs, and partway up her neck. 
Fidgety. She is often tapping her fingers or a pen or a knife blade against some surface. 

If any recognize her these days, it's probably as the reclusive proprietor of a small tattoo shop on Warwolf Row in Orgrimmar called Ink and Spite. It's not a popular place; rumor has it that anything and everything she does hurts more than it ought and she'll toss out a client who presumes to tell her what to put on the canvas presented.

Scholars of rune magic may know her as a specialist in complex inked ward-work and graven spells. Though there is the expected Ebon Blade influence to her work, many of her incantations bear hallmarks of training with quel'dorei spellbreakers.

During the Siege of Orgrimmar, Ink and Spite was closed for nearly a year and she is rumored to have gone relic-hunting on the southern coast of Kalimdor.

Before death, she served as a mercenary loosely affiliated with the quel'dorei military and the spellbreakers in particular. Any who served under Kael'thas on his ill-fated expedition to Northrend, or among mercenary companies in Quel'thalas may recognize her.
