==Lougara==
Sorandra was originally known as Lougara, whose fursona originally was a hybrid of a golden tan [[jackal]], Arabian and bone childe, a skeleton inhabited by the spirits of creatures who were killed unjustly or before their time. Her fursona is a [[hermaphrodite]], and a polymorphic [[taur]], which means shi can go from a quadrupedal to a bipedal form. Shi has jackal forelegs and horse hindlegs, a horse tail and bone wings. Hir head is that of a jackal.

===Symbolism===
Lougara was extremely symbolic of things and events in her life.

*'''Jackal'''- represents intelligence, desire to protect family and friends, yet represents desire to have alone time. Also represents [[Anubis (god)|Anubis]], whom Lougara worships.
*'''Arabian'''- represents skittish tendancies, patience, loyalty, and hard work.
*'''the bone wings'''- they represent the freedoms yet restrictions that come with being in the military- wings that cannot fly.
*The bone childe spirits that inhabit hir wings represent that hir friends and family are always in hir heart. They also represent hir unborn child that she lost to a miscarriage in 2004, and that she will never forget that once she carried life within her womb.
*'''Being a taur-''' Lougara in RL is a klutz, and having four feet symbolizes that she wishes she had more graceful bearing.
*'''Being a hermaphrodite-''' Lougara in RL is pansexual, and being a herm represents her lack of concern over gender in a loving relationship- however- due to being in the military, Lougara has no choice but to seek male companionship.
*'''The overall Egyptian theme'''- Lougara is a Kemetic pagan and worships Anubis, hence the Egyptian theme

During a stressful and life turning chain of events, Lougara was replaced by the new totem spirit guide, Sorandra.

Sorandra is a Romanian [[wolf]] [[taur]], who is female, but highly androgynous, often getting mistaken for a 'pretty male'. She is a Druid, and heterosexual. She is defensive and maternal and very monogamous. She is peaceful and merciful, and deeply loving, yet very cautious and trusts very few people. She has a close bond with Epsereth, and she cherishs her friendships more than anything.

===Symbolism===
*Her androgyny represents the creator's pansexuality.
*The red on her haunches is symbolic of the miscarriage that the creator suffered. It is also why Sorandra is nicknamed 'The Wounded One.'
*The bone wings carried over from Lougara to represent that despite life changing events, the past will always be remembered, for good and for bad.

===Sorandra In Real Life===

She is plays World of Warcraft, and can be found on the Draka PVE server, playing a night elf hunter named Lougara. Her alts are a Night Elf druid named Ulcatambaro on the PVP server thunderlord, and a level 9 Blood Elf warlock named Lougara on the PVE server Vek'Nilash.

Sorandra has two pet birds: a one year old conure and a 16 year old cockatiel,who has outlived normal cockatiel life expectancy.

*Past

Sorandra was born in Marietta, Georgia. Her father was a bit of a nomad, and she didn't have a steady home until she was eight. Her family moved from various cities in Florida such as Titusville, Vernon and Panama City; a few towns in Georgia like Ellijay; Pueblo East in Colorado, and finally they settled in Fairhope, Alabama, and Sorandra lived there for 13 years.

Sorandra began school normally enough, but in the fifth grade, she was constantly tormented by her classmates, and was tormented during church- the worst event that led to her renouncing Christianity was being tied to a prop cross, having red paint thrown on her, and being locked in a closet for three hours. From the fifth grade to the seventh grade, Sorandra struggled with suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts, and more medication than any human should have to deal with.

High school was normal, and Sorandra asserted herself in being proud of being different, and in fact, indulged in disturbing her popular classmates by antics such as carrying bones and skulls around with her, doodling skeletons all over people's notebooks when they left their seats, and writing random runic inscriptions on their desks.

Sorandra was an entusiastic member of the Fairhope High School marching band, and lived for the excitement of contests and being a dork at football games, especially since the band had more trophies from two years than the football team had in ten.

Sorandra began working at a Sonic drive in resturant her sophomore year, and used her tips and wages to buy her first car. She would use a whole year's tips saved up with her graduation money in 2004, to buy her second car, which she still drives to this day- a white 1997 Nissan Altima.

After High school, Sorandra continued to work at Sonic, unsure of what she would do. She met her downfall in the form of a scandalous redhead named Donald Brian Michaux. She fell in love with him, though he was only using her- though until today, she didn't realize this.

During their relationship, Sorandra and her mother had a huge blowout, in which Sorandra ended up moving out, and moved in with her best friend of 14 years, Joy. After 4 months, however, it was clear why friends shouldn't move in together- they didn't get along being together 24/7, and Sorandra was pissed at having to support her friend's boyfriend's half of the rent- she was working three jobs to do so.

She moved out, but was too proud to move back in with her parents- her parents were still furious because they had found out that their daughter wasn't a virgin anymore. She lived out of her car for a week until Brian returned from Virgina, and she moved in with him, and then got herself an apartment next to his and they would spend alternating time between the two. She then decided to join the navy to make a better life for herself and for Brian, for she still thought he loved her in return. She went up to the enlistment station in September of 05. She recieved a most unexpected surprise, however- she was unable to enlist because she was pregnant.

In a freak chance of fate, Sorandra had become pregnant, even though she was on birth control. Upon returning home, she was unable to tell Brian, because her parents forced her to evacuate because of Hurrican Ivan.

The exodus to Georgia was a long and stressful one, and upon arriving there, Sorandra excused herself to a shower, suffering from horrible cramps and a terrible feeling. She suffered a miscarriage in Georgia. After going to a gynocologist for a follow up, it was determined she was three months along- her periods had stopped for almost 6 months due to a strange hormone issue, so nothing had seemed amiss.

Sorandra still enlisted into the Navy, and soon found herself back in the South, where she met Patrick, her estranged husband. She married him to stay in the states, and prevent herself from being sent to Japan, which, at the time, was under lockdown.

She soon found her husband to be oppressive and abusive, not to mention a drug addict and a money grubber. She had the police kick him out of her home in Oct of 06 and is pending divorce currently.
