Shelka

Description
Shelka is a Shadowmoon orc who has dedicated what remains of her life to finding her twin daughters Shigra and Griya, who are half-orc half-draenei hybrids taken by the Shadow Council as infants. Shelka was once a shaman, but when Gul'dan introduced fel magic to the clan she, like most others, adapted and became a warlock. When she fell pregnant with her hybrid twins she was assured by Gul'dan that her children would not be taken or used for the Horde war machine due to her status in the clan. This, of course, was a lie, and her children were taken shortly after their birth. Shelka was forced to flee to save her life, but is intent on finding her children and setting things right. Shortly before she fled, she freed the draenei prisoner with whom she forcibly conceived the children. His status and whereabouts are unknown. Shelka is the protagonist of the story Shelka the Shadowmoon Exile and is a major character in later parts of Hordecraft.

Appearance
Once a strong, brown-skinned and vibrant young orc, Shelka is now a wizened and warped creature with a terribly scarred face, limp white hair and sickly green skin. Her eyes now burn fel-green like small braziers. She usually wears a hood to conceal her face and dresses in plain brown cloth that covers as much of her body as possible. She is rarely seen without her wrathguard.

Shigra and Griya
Shelka has not interacted with either of her twins since they were taken from her. She still feels a deep maternal connection to the twins, though fears they might kill her should she attempt to speak with them. This is increasingly becoming a risk she is willing to take.

Azoga
Azoga was a Bleeding Hollow orc who viewed Shelka as a sworn enemy after she slew her brother. Azoga and her mate, Korgul, alerted the Shadow Council to Shelka's presence in the war-camp outside the Dark Portal, leading to Shelka being beaten within an inch of her life and sustaining the scarring that disfigures her to this day.
