Blood and Bonnets
Lady Permelia Vinguld,
As you wished to be kept appraised as to the status of your daughter, I shall keep my word in doing so and relate all relevant information pertaining to this most unusual child of yours.
Where to begin? As I knew she was able to manage herself competently in more dangerous areas of Northrend, I felt it best to judge her abilities in the hotly contended forests of Ashenvale, specifically in the so-called Warsong Gultch region. Along with several more well armed men-at-arms, we sallied forth from out ramparts and seized the day with as much valor and skill as can be expected from the Alliance. Your daughter did not disappoint, as she was often close by me in the thick of it, and I may say with the utmost certainty that in spite of her lack of formal training, she is quite a capable paladin.
What I cannot fathom is how she managed to be so and still retain such a staggeringly oblivious outlook on the rest of the world. Keeping outside of battle the most incredible displays of childlike innocence (and I must add, annoyance) and archaic dialogue which I have no doubt was taken from the manner of that burlesque “novel” you showed me in Dalaran, she keeps the company of lambs when her fellow humans are present. Lambs which to her chagrin are frequently fodder for more vicious beasts. While I do appreciate the discretion asked regarding this one, it is cause for concern. A rabbit-eared bonnet is not a substitute for a titanium reinforced great-helm.
She is a walking contradiction, and yet perfectly suited for the rigors of her calling. Minds such as hers are more easily filled with faith, and the more simplistic her thought-process, the less susceptible one is to corruption, betrayal, and heresy. Even so, I am reluctant to bring her to Feuergrad as of yet—there is still more I would know of her martial skills and just how exactly she came to be so fully knowledgeable in matters which take years if not decades of training and instruction. Rest assured, I will keep my promise and act as much a chaperone as I am able to do so, which brings me to my final point. She met her father that day, and I believe he may have recognized his own. I will do what I can to keep them apart from one another for more obvious reasons, and also in fulfillment of my vow, but I am certain he suspects something and he is no fool.
I will continue to keep you appraised of your daughter’s well-being.
Light keep you pure,
Chaplain Olaff Isenkopf.

Justice is the balance of what is right, what is moral and what is practical. Note that 'fair' is nowhere in that definition.
I'm fairly certain I pity
I'm fairly certain I pity Olaff here much more than I do Georgiana. What a mess he's entangling himself in. '=P'
