The shadows seemed to twist and turn for a few moments when this demonic entity decided to play with caution. Rightfully so for more reasons than one. Slowly a figure took shape against the darkness from the walls that were veiled by shadow themselves. And from within its billowing cloud of smog, a hand slipped out that pulled an entire body out from within.

Bats chittered and swarmed above the transitioning creature before her. Though his appearance was elven, her senses likely disclosed that he was far more than that. An energized core billowing with chaos in itself is an epicenter that was unseen to the naked eye. White hair caressed the back of his neck of Northrend snow. And as the natural truth gave truth to the suited attire, there was a faint, blue hue with a crimson ring around his eyes. The scarred nasal cavity, and now... A devilish smile crept along his cheeks.

" Fine then, let's play pretend. You are a dragon and I am a knight of the Silver Hand. " He softly chortled before giving a courteous bow as if he had just performed a comical stand-off. "... Glamour can only veil so much. You need naught worry yourself if your intent is... of a social trade rather than physics. "

" My little ears and wings tell me that a certain Sayaadi is... looking for me? "

The head crowned by a pair of horns turned, but the face that accompanied it regarded the unintroduced voice with discretion. "Am I?" she posed the question dubiously, voice tight with its spill, as if she was offended. The femme was blessed with a natural allure in form and a fel-eyed gaze, but they were also traits shared by many Illidari, and even some Draenei. "And who are you? Someone that sees a pair of horns and thinks "demon"? Very assumptive, I say. On many counts."

Physical Appearance –––

Safrona seems a feminine figure made for travel, garments striking an even balance between luxury and practicality that could only be defined as "courier couture". The singular long braid that streams down to her waist is often the signature of her appearance, dark red as bottled wine. Still, a blue-violet wash of unnatural vibrance seems to fringe the red of her hair at its ends, a branding of the collective of energies she has perhaps learned to consume and survive by. This same unnatural color is set into her eyes, an unmistakable sign of her heritage as Rendorei.

Bio/Known History

A Void Elf “exile” like so many of her kind, some may know the importer to be the professional “Courier”  that built independent transport business across Azeroth under the title "Empyrean Imports". In recent years, Lady Shadowsun has succesfully extended her enterprise to several small establishments across Azeroth, forming a network of contacts along the way.

While the “Courier” does make herself available for the individual specifically looking for her particular expertise, most of her professional attention is invested in managing teams of trained couriers seeking to make a career of acquisition and delivery. It is rumored she makes her home somewhere on The Veiled Stair of Pandaria, a location the courteous and well-informed may find easier to access than others.

Outside of capital cities the Lady Shadowsun is often seen accompanied by void and nether-born entities, whether summoned as an extra set of eyes, to assist in mundane tasks, or to eagerly come to her defense.

RP hooks –––

Safrona is a long time private Courier and manager of Empyrean Imports, a universal shipping organization specializing in acquisition and transport of emergency and specialty product across Azeroth and beyond. She trains and manages courier teams and maintains a strong web of resources and contacts to help other businesses run smoothly. Though she is mostly retired from the brunt of common deliveries, Safrona can be consulted for specialty deliveries or particular acquisitions for a price and she is always seeking to widen her web of contacts and clients.

Empyrean Star Trades in Stormwind is a premium post office and acquisition depot that is managed by Wennefer Shadowsun - sister to Safrona. Alliance aligned Rpers can hire/receive packages or communications from a Courier from this office.

The Red Room is an upscale wine tasting bar in the Royal Quarter of Silvermoon, managed by the Ethereal Saraj, a lifelong business partner of Safrona's. Horde aligned Rpers can hire/receive packages and communications from a Courier at this establishment.

Safrona has deep ties and support among the Consortium, and the Ethereals technomantic expertise are often used to support her own business. Some may take notice of some items of that nature, such as a datapad.

Safrona takes “confession" at the Elysian Sojourn, a bathhouse and drinkery located in the Veiled Stair of Pandaria. It is a protected neutral territory accessible to those with peaceful intent or with the Shadowsun's express permission.

Safrona is a long time associate of Madam Goya, a black market figurehead.

Safrona was a heavy aid to the Nightborne in Suramar during the Legion invasion.

Safrona was a very well known working wartime Courier working between garrisons on Draenor during the Iron Horde crisis.

Safrona was associated as a Black Harvester known of within Warlock circles.

She is also a known presence in the Telgorus Rift.

Safrona can often be reached by Chatterstone (a Jewelcrafting item that works as a voice comm network) And she will provide her crystal link for those that want her within their contact network, or even provide a small crystal cluster for those that do not have one.

Safrona can also be reached by tech message through the Consortium Trade Network, an aetheric message chat interface provided by the Ethereals she has been working with for years. Her 'handle' is { Trade-Prince-Safrona } and she can be reached by both public users or anonymously. (Anonymous asks that seem to be from an IC perspective without parentheses tend to be answered this way.)
