Cerelinde, Night Elf Priest

Cerelinde (once known as Voice, on the Stormrage server) was my third character to hit 60 and my first character (at least first that I actually played with any regularity) on a PvE server.

She leveled as shadow but spent the majority of her time in instances healing. At level 60 I joined a raiding guild. I cleared Molten Core, Zul'Gurub, Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, and Blackwing Lair with them. Due to big time real life issues, I stopped playing her shortly after our first clear of Blackwing Lair, but I missed her a lot, and eventually transferred her to Bronzebeard so I could level her to 70, months after Burning Crusade came out.

But Cerelinde wasn't only a raider - she also was the only character I did any extensive PvP with. Due to raiding on two characters (this one and my hunter, Ceres, on Mannoroth) as well as college and a boyfriend, I never really was able to attain a balance between these things and PvP to get my rank very high - I peaked at Knight-Captain. Regardless, I did regular Warsong Gulch matches with my team - Janson, Krysania, Yodamor, Verithas, Maix - they were only some of my team members and even though I'm now having fun with Cerelinde at 70 on a different server, I still miss you guys :) Even though I didn't play with them for months prior, leaving them was one reason I didn't transfer for so long.

On her way to 70, I mixed up shadow and holy leveling. I was doing instances with my boyfriend for a while, so stuck to Holy for maybe 5 levels, but he "officially" quit WoW (again) and I went shadow and zoomed to 70.

At 70, Cerelinde is my shadow priest, and one of my favorite characters to play in an instance. Even with pretty crap gear I can still dominate the damage meters and feel that I bring plenty of utility - healing in a pinch, shackles, and of course VE and VT. She has more or less left her PvP days behind - I prefer to heal in PvP so my resto druid and my holy priest (neither of whom I've written about just yet) are my preferred PvP characters. I still sport my "Knight Captain" rank proudly though!
