Dislikes: Disrespectful / Dishonorable competitors. Those brave enough to risk life and limb in the games should be treated with respect and comraderie.
Absolutely hates anyone who gears for battle without joining the war, i.e. Grooda will corpse-camp you if you’re above level 20 and do not have a military rank.
Hobbies: Bombsmithing, cooking, fireworks, animal training. Known to sing occasionally.

Physical Features: Grooda in my mind looks exactly like her toon, with the exception of the fact that she’s usually quite dirty. She allows blood, dirt, and grime to accumulate on her armor and her body for weeks at a time, but will gladly clean up without complaint for the right occasion.

Special Abilities: Animal Empathy
Positive Personality Traits: Friendly, Extroverted, Loyal
Negative Personality Traits: Stubborn, smelly, graceless
Misc. Quirks: Believes a pink plainstrider that follows her around is actually the reincarnation of her uncle Dagda. Talks to him and treats him as such.
Drinks heavily to ease a broken heart. She pines for her lost love, a gnome named Cdub.

Played by What Famous Person: Emma Thompson (she’d love a role like this!)
Theme Songs: I Want You – Danko Jones ; Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger – Daft Punk ; Chewing Gum - Annie

History: Grooda was orphaned in the slave camps at a very early age. She has no memory of her parents. A kindly old orc named Dagda raised her as her “uncle”. He disappeared one night while she was asleep. She broke herself out of the camps during an attack and has searched for her uncle ever since.

"What? Why do you care about my dog? It's a loud, unruly, and foul beast. Best to keep it outside and downwind."

"Grooda always brings booze to the fight: cherry grog, port wine, grain alcohol -- it don't matter," says Phia, "Last time we fought together I got so trashed before the battle that I started seein' double. I'm still not sure how many gnomes I killed that day... five, ten, twenty?"

"In that regard, I kinda see Grooda as a kindred spirit. She doesn't spend her time wringin' her hands about the futility of war. She celebrates it!"

"Furthermore, I have no doubt that she can out-fight, out-drink, and out-smoke every orc, troll, tauren, Forsaken, dwarf -- whatever -- in the whole damn world!"

".... Well, 'cept me."
