Capella was born the only child to an arcanist and his simple wife in grand city of Mac'Aree. A solemn, quiet child, Capella did not have many friends and grew up wrapped in the world of stories and mythology that her father supplied for her in his many books. Though they were certainly not part of the upper class of Argus, Capella enjoyed a simple and quiet childhood and a gentle, sweet mother. It was here that she was taught virtue and respect for her peers, though it was not often given to her, and Capella would be found guilty on more than one occasion for losing her temper with a particularly forward boy.
She was raised lovingly, but with much thought - though she was expected to take up the traditional role of an Anchorite, she was increasingly drawn to the more physical path of a warrior. Her Anchorite mother desperately wanted her daughter to fit in with the other girls, but she simply did not; where they were soft, Capella was rough, and where they were skilled in conversation and the duties of a wife, Capella pricked her fingers and blundered over her words more than her mother could count. Finally, she gave in to the will of her daughter and allowed her under the tutelage of a strong, honest man by the name of Alathuun. Capella excelled in an area that she had never thought she would, standing as a powerful protector of the people and a guardian to the lost.
As many apprentices were wont to do, Capella fell for Alathuun, as he did for her. Though Capella was a terrible cook and an even worse seamstress, Alathuun accepted her for all of the difficulties she possessed and admired the strength that the female gave off. He was a wonderful man and a suitable husband for her, and had joked on many an occasion that he would be happy to live off of burnt talbuk, so long as it was her that had tried to make it. Capella and Alathuun married and stayed together for many years in Mac'Aree, watching as their parents grew older and hoping for children of their own. Capella was blessed during her time on Argus with a boy who she named Maladaar, and protected him with all the ferocity of a mother and soldier when they were cast into the depths of space.
Capella learned eagerly of the Light and its virtues with the coming of the Naaru, delving into their teachings and raising her son to be a strong and powerful warrior of the Light. She found a comfort in the presence of the Light in any shape or form, and its usage filled her with a power that she had never had as a typical Draenei harbinger. It was on Oshu'gun that she was finally declared a Peacekeeper, along with a score of other men and women who have proven themselves to be adepts at using the Light, and served as the personal guard to many important arcanists.
For many years the Draenei wandered throughout the universe seeking another home, and it was almost as if they would never find one amongst the millions of stars. They were an eternal people, but their hearts ached for a final place to rest and call their home. Thousands of years passed, and Capella was blessed with the coming of a girl just before they wandered upon the beautiful planet they named 'Draenor'. The 'home of the exiled' seemed like a perfect place for them, though it was home to many strange creatures that they had never seen before, and Capella was eager to settle in and begin the arduous task of rebuilding a new place to live.
Her son grown, but presented with the task of caring for another child, Capella soon fell back into the same routine - guard and care. Little Lulaana required much attention and even more food, and Capella had little time to establish relationships with any of the other races of Draenor. The savage attack of Shattrath by the demon-crazed orcs served as a violent surprise to the small family, and Capella ran from her post, searching for her children. To her horror, she found her son slaughtered and her husband in even worse wear, summoning some feeble hope as to whether or not her daughter was alive. The only thing that she found of her child and the nursemaid who had been caring for her in her absence were scattered limbs and bloody footprints.
Fueled by her rage, Capella threw herself into battle against the orcs, as did many of her peers. Even the combined might of their people was not enough to fend off the vicious green beasts that had once called themselves 'friends' to the Draenei, and trapped within a small platoon, she was forced into the retreat to Zangarmarsh. These last few years before they reached Azeroth are very fuzzy to Capella, as episodes of mass depression are; but the only thing that she can remember from Draenor are the sounds of the screaming children as they were tossed carelessly over the walls of Shattrath.
Capella now serves as an advisor and guardian to the Lady Exarch Aedion and Exarch Khai'xur of Elysium, a silent watcher and protector of those that she holds close. It was in Elysium that she met the unconventional and decidedly 'off' Spiritwalker Aeandu, who wooed her by way of sweet food, sweet talk, and an even sweeter love. Unfortunately, her attachment to Aeandu did not last long, as she found herself drifting from his side and off the beaten path as she caught wind of rumors of her daughter being alive. Capella disappeared from Aeandu's side almost entirely overnight, leaving her Exarchs and her lover with a brief and impersonal letter of departure with no word of when she would return.
When and if she returns, it is almost certain that she will be changed forever.
