The rest of her free time goes towards occasionally lending security detail to various Succulent Tart events.

Personality/Description:
Ankalei stands at a height that is just probably smaller than the average female sin'dorei with silver shoulder-length hair, touched by ice blue. Her features are unmistakably pale and it doesn't take long for people to realise what she is. It helps, perhaps, that she does and says nothing to hide that.
She has little care for her appearance and how she dresses, or so she would claim, but in action, she carries herself well. Her frame is deceptively small, implying that she isn't particularly muscular. Largely, this assessment is accurate, however, she has a wealth of combative experience behind her. Ankalei would not consider herself delicate or demure in any way, shape, or fashion.
Her expressions are rather evident. Not quite animated, but transparent enough that when they change, they are rather noticeable. She doesn't feel a particular need to hide what she thinks or feels about most things.
An Ankalei 'on the field' is not necessarily equivalent to one off it and she seems to swap between, depending on what is necessary in a situation. In a more professional setting, she may come across as initially icy, pragmatic, and potentially even cold. Otherwise, she is largely warm, perhaps surprisingly so, civilised, and very socially eloquent—when she wants to be, which doesn't seem to be often.
Ankalei uses a lot of humour in her day-to-day, and perhaps even veers towards being more silly, though this is largely a defence mechanism. Her death affected her deeply and she holds a fair amount of resentment for her situation, and jealousy of others who are still living. To combat that, she relies on laughter, poorly-made jokes, and in general, may not always come across as the most sensitive individual. It is not often that she displays the darker parts to herself, reserving those for people she forms a tight and close connection with.
In many ways, Ankalei can come across as very innocent. At the point in which she died, she hadn't really experienced much in life outside of her professional occupation. As a result, forming meaningful relationships outside of her work is somewhat unknown to her. This can be, at times, reflected in how she speaks with others or what experiences she's inclined to share—or lack thereof.

RP Hooks –––
In life, Ankalei Luridveil was a knight in service to the Blood Knight Order. Other members and associates, past and present, may recognise her based on her appearance. Prior to this service, she served in the Royal Guard and knew from an early point in time that she wanted to serve and protect her people. She has not rejoined the Order, though still addresses fellow members as 'brother' and 'sister' accordingly.
She has an interest in undergoing the ritual to subject herself to the purifying Light of the Sunwell with a desire to rejoin the Order, though is unsure if she will survive such an ordeal.
The circumstances surrounding her death are not publicly known, but are found in the Blood Knight archive and documents. Members of the Order are free to assume they would have access to this information and thus, may be familiar with Ankalei and her family as a result.
Those familiar with House Luridveil (lower class nobility) may find themselves familiar with the name of her house. Her father, Reknon Luridveil, is a botanist / alchemist, and author of the book 'Pathway to Fel,' which can be found in the Quel'Thalas archives.
Before her unfortunate demise, Ankalei was rather politically active, desiring a unification of her people, and perhaps somewhat idealistic and open-minded. (Read: Potentially a revolutionary.)
Since her death, she has taken the mantle of 'sellsword' and when she is not working with gemstones, she travels, takes on various odd jobs, provides escort services and bestial culling, and acts as something of a vigilante given that she feels she cannot reclaim her prior title with the Blood Knights. She also provides active service to the Horde Expedition, often in the companionship of Zaihne Velios.
If familiar with Laeynna Emberflame, one might recognise Ankalei. The two are identical twins. Please feel free to mistake Ankalei for her sister (or vice versa).
Looking For –––
Friends, enemies, frenemies, friendly (or not-so-friendly!) rivals, family, royal guard / blood knight kin, Horde expedition kin, necromancers, you name it!
I like making connections with other players and really want to build relationships with other characters. I believe in organic development and will roleplay pretty much anything on the spectrum from joyful, domestic bliss to tragedy and anguish to murder and other reprehensible things. (I am pretty not good at writing combat; sorry in advance!)
I love the exploration and the growth between characters and their dynamics, be it positive, negative, or in some grey place.
