abstract
| - Born within the Barrens of Kalimdor and raised as a child very much within the care of the Earth Mother during the final years of the Tauren's nomadic existence, Raysha Thunderhorn is a Tauren of many skills and qualities indeed; a result of a somewhat varied string of professions and callings. The daughter of Bendingstalk and Echo Bloodhoof, perhaps Raysha's most notable attribute is that she is the slightly younger sister of Stamp Bloodhoof. At times overshadowed by her unconventional brother's odd claim to fame, she has never let this get in the way of her own goals and dreams, in fact often enjoying the peace and quiet it affords her while others doggedly pursue Stamp from one end of Kalimdor to the other. Like Stamp, Raysha was trained from an early age in the ways of the Warrior; a somewhat rare career for a female Tauren considering the domination by males at the role, but one that she took a shine to all the same. If Stamp was the sword, however, it can easily said that Raysha was the shield; the defense to her brother's offense. While Stamp tore into those who would threaten the Bloodhoof and the Earth Mother, Raysha would be the one to ensure that any retaliation would be impotent, dashed against walls of leather, chain, and plate. Thwarting the efforts of the vile Centaur and the equally maleficent Quillboar as her people attempted to survive forged Raysha's skill and drove her ambition, holding her through the dark times and aiding those around her when the Earth Mother finally blessed her people with the friendship that Warchief Thrall and the Orcs from beyond the ocean brought with them.
