Leather & Lace Contender

I was trying for a theme, and no matter what, had fun putting this together:

Let me reintroduce Rökkr (named for shadowy mythology references). She was my second character in WoW, and waits ever patiently in her own metaphorical shadows at Level 70. Considering I have four at level 85 now, and Ceniza the Fire Mage Hawtness is Level 82, I do fear for Rökkr's status amongst the ladies of Sugar & Blood. I don't know what it is about rogues that has prevented me from truly delving into this extrememly fun class.

I realize it's not proper to wear white leather before Memorial Day (some of you know what I'm talking about), but hey--rules?! Don't need no stinkin' rules! She's a rogue, for gods' sake! In any case, while many go with rogues for the black leather and Catwoman-esque physiques (see Cross-Dressing Rogue, below), consider the silver/white of leather in the snowy hills of Storm Peaks. She'll be ready, when I'm ready.

If I can find her. (The red daggers will have to serve as homing beacons.)

Sometimes all you need is an eyepatch to look bad-ass.

Love and Death(s) in Northrend

Rökkr, with the grand help of two very dear friends, got carried to level 68 today: that is an especially sweet milestone in a character's progress. Let me be straight: I have no idea what the hell I am doing as a rogue. Stabby-stab-stealth-stealth. A young elite rogue reviewed my action bar and spells and shook his head in disgust, grumbling something about the uselessness of sinister strike. Fortunately, I have a few things going for me: I am kind of smart, and I have very good friends who have rogues of renown.

Rökkr stays at the same lodging as the others...clean sheets, chocolates on the pillow and turn-down service.

Now the real work begins, and choices to be made. The quest line in Northrend is rumored to have been reduced 30% with Patch 4.3, so I hope this is true. Just leaving Outlands and seeing all of the bright yellow "!" everywhere made me feel a bit guilty. But I paid my game dues with leveling Mataoka, and a little reduction in effort until I get to level 80 and that boring grind from 80-85 begins, I'm going to enjoy my time in the great Northrend. Got a little overexcited and the second I stole borrowed gold from the guild bank and purchased Cold Weather flying, I fly to dangerous zones and tried to pick the daisies. Made a few trolls very grumpy, but it was fun trying (dying, but fun). Snuck past some of them, and plucked a few.

So, a rogue for Christmas - thank you my friends. Now just try to find her!
