History: Veton was born to Totle and Era, two skilled paladins who were medics aboard the Exodar. Like her cousin Elodi, she was cared for by her uncle, Craetes, after her parents, uncle, and aunt perished in the Exodar crash. The three cousins were close until Zilaara left Ammen Vale where they had been tending to the crash survivors. Elodi would follow soon after, leaving Veton alone with her uncle's near-constant worrying. It wasn't very long until Veton departed the crash site, determined to surpass her cousins and whatever they had set out to do for the Alliance.

On her journey to Stormwind, she befriended Goruth, a skilled warrior, and a mage by the name of Ealenia. With their companionship came the invitation to become apart of the guild Love and Warcraft. Since then, she has realized what she has to do... train, master the elements, and serve the Alliance alongside her new-found comrades.

As the seasons passed, from Autumn to Winter, Veton found herself against a new enemy - Northrend and the Scourge who threatened to inhabit its every surface. For the first few weeks, Strike was unable to navigate through the frozen skies, leaving Veton to fend for herself on the rough terrain with only Tempest, her white frostsaber, and her ghost wolves.

Once Spring had arrived on Azeroth's lower continents, the young Shaman had seemingly grown beyond the naive Draenei who had left the Exodar crash site. Renting rooms in Dalaran and spending time by the city's fountains and other little snow-bombarded settlements, Veton made her way into the throng of Alliance and Horde soldiers, following them in and out of the city to ward them off or heal their battle wounds.

As the days march on, she continues to strive to be one of her guild's prominent members.

Appearance: Slender, pale-skinned and bright-eyed, Veton is nothing short of athletic in build. Her black-brown hooves are worn, and gold rings and bands accent her figure. Three golden hoops hang from each of her pointed ears. Her shoulder-length, silver hair is thin and always well-washed. Tall horns sprout from her temple, seeming like 'rabbit ears' in shape.

She usually wears her cherished Tabard of the Hand to show her pride to be a survivor of her people - though it is not uncommon for her to switch between favorite allies. Her gear, meanwhile, almost always consists of chainmail lined with ragged leather pieces for comfort; she rarely cares to pay mind to the frays in her cape or the scuff-marks on her knees, glove palms, and elbows. Some pieces look very worn - and most are singed and patched in some places - as if she didn't bother to find more suiting armor to wear. Her hands, though quite soft in general, have a few calluses on her palms from wielding heavy maces, daggers, and shields.

Quirks:

• Second toon to become lvl 80; the first was Taceo.
  
• The name "Veton" means lightning in Albanian.
  
• Veton, due to a nearly unfulfilled wish of having an all-white, high level Draenei, is related to cousins Zilaara and Elodi Sophronias [on the server Silverhand]. She is also supposedly related to Lena Sophronias [another Draenei who was "put on the back burner" when Taceo was created]. Their last name of 'Sophronias' means "prudent" or "self-controlled" in Greek, loosely translated to "harmony, voice, wisdom and skill."
  
• She was created solely to play with Taceo's guild mates who had transferred servers from Thorium Brotherhood to Fenris.
  
• Veton's father and uncles are triplets, named for Greek philosophers: Craetes (Socrates), Totle (Aristotle) and Medes (Archimedes)
  
• Reached lvl 58/Outland in 4 days, 20 hours, 27 minutes, and 18 seconds [in play time].
  
• Got to lvl 60 in 5 days, 1 hour, 25 minutes, and 52 seconds [in play time]; leveled soon after the first pull in Hellfire Ramparts - her first TBC dungeon.
  
• Her pet Snowy Gryphon, Strike, was quick to bond with her after learning he liked to eat Fel Blossoms.
• As an enhancement-trained Shaman, she came to adopt "Romulus" and "Remus," two ghost wolves who helped her conquer her way to Dalaran.
• From lvl 1 - 80, Veton took 139 days [4 months and 19 days] to level; a total of 232 hours of play time were logged.
