Powerful and arrogant, Slainna is every bit as fiery as her red hair would imply. She stands proudly with her shield and mace, green robes flowing but she is not the tender and scrawny drow cleric that she appears to be. Slainna was religious from a young age, and she longed to see those who oppose the drow to fall to their knees in terror, begging for mercy. Early on she adopted the nickname, inspired by a guild she was in during her 20th season, Slainna, the Wise and Powerful, hoping to invoke fear in those who should meet her.

After awhile adventuring, Slainna soon realized she was often relegated to the back of the party since she was considered fragile even though she was a plate armor wearer, and she realized that a cleric, even a cleric to a fearsome God, often deals no more damage that a mere kitten.

Slainna first started experimenting with holding the attention of monsters and becoming tougher in her 20s or 30s, with the help and support of her close friend and favorite tank, Raaige, perfecting the art in her 40s. No longer stuck in the back, she had found a new passion charging first and holding strong when adventuring, staring the enemy straight in the eye instead of hoping it did not see her healing from the back. Raaige eventually lost interest in adventuring completely, not having the passion for killing that Slainna did. During her 50th season, Slainna sold all her old healer's equipment in favor of the more appealing tank's equipment and refocused her training and adventuring to further refining her tanking ability. Despite having chose it as a healer and the other tanking clerics choosing to buff resistance, Slainna has never regretted choosing to have extra instant heals instead of buffing resistances; they have always been an asset to Slainna, saving her and catching the monsters' attention a little more when things look grim.

Slainna was regarded with skepticism and laughter at first when she made her new intentions known. She was also told she will never succeed at what she is trying to do without a certain legendary piece of armor, the Breastplate of the Anointed. Though Slainna has desired this piece of armor for years, she has never come across it so she has had to work with what she has and can obtain. With years of practice, a few party-targetting and one area heal spell Slainna rarely has problems holding the attention of monsters she encounters. Certain adventurers even became upset with her, saying she is "not doing her job" and to get in back and heal where she belongs but Slainna has never regretted her decision even if it has caused some people to target her; she is very happy with herself and loves her new role more every day.

Slainna's role as tank, while making her very tough, also built a healthy appreciation for cold drinks and the powerful song of the bard and other adventurers who have an energizing effect on her; she seeks these kind of people out. Slainna has also realized that, while she would love to see her enemies fall to their knees before her, she needs her allies to keep her energized, to help her catch the attention of the monsters by providing more targets for her mass heals, and to actually slay the monster since she would take far too long doing so herself.

Now, as a seasoned adventurer, Slainna longs to go head-to-head with the toughest monsters in the world, although she still enjoys teaming up with a handful of people for hours of killing especially against her favorite foe, goblin assassins. Her role as healer in adventuring groups is retired, although she occasionally still patch heals for her guild when they need her but her dream to be up front during these difficult encounters has not died.
