Wanja bites lightly to his thumb nail while his other hand’s finger traces a slow line in the dirt. He tumbles out lowly a, “ ‘eeeey dere.” on a loose chuckle.

Wanja flicked his tongue piercing against the front row of his teeth making a muted clicking sound before chuckling. “ Yeh, I actualleh do gotta work sometimes. “
Wanja has come a long way from his humble, shy beginnings. When engaging Wanja it is apparent he is highly influenced by the element of fire and his personality reflects that. Wanja ranges vastly in what he expresses emotionally he can be confident one moment, or fidgety and bashful the next. He can be spontaneously playful, passionate, charming, pleasantly warm, and caring, yet at other times he can also fume with rage. With the positive that is part of the governing element’s influence there is also the negative that may seem to seethe under the surface as part of the greater balance of who he is. These sparks and rise of flames within the element’s drive reflect vibrancy upon his personality.
Wanja varies in mood from day to day, it’s greatly circumstance dependent on how he will react, engage, or respond to a situation, or conversation.

History
Wanja’s parents are both deceased, they died when Wanja was very young he only carries a few vague memories of them. He was raised in the village of Shadowprey by one of the Tauren inn keeps, by the name of Siska. He doesn’t remember where he was from before his arrival to the small village on the coast of Desolace, and those that knew where he was born are all gone.
Wanja had trouble fitting in for a few reasons while growing up. One of the reasons that he just didn't fit in was that he didn’t speak until he was seven seasons old. Although most of the villagers simply contributed it from the the traumatic loss of his parents. He was also a little small for his age, gangly, thin and wiry. He was always a little weird in personality seeming to be that square peg that keeps trying to fit in the round hole, no matter which direction he turned he just could not fit in. The teasing stunted him emotionally causing him to have issues with his confidence.
During his adolescence he helped the village by cleaning out crab cages, fishing the bay, net repairing, and as he had grown he had aided in spearing fishing the over populace of orca along the coast. In his later adolescence he could be found loading the shipping wagons bound for Ghostwalker post, as well as helping at the inn with various tasks, mostly bus keeping, and keeping the guests happy. Although he was a value to the village he was a big dreamer seeking adventure in his mind far off from his home.
The air of change was upon him. While those warriors were coming home from the north, and the world opened up and released a cataclysm. Wanja's eyes that were set forward were becoming wider. He wanted to contribute something bigger. His guardian enrolled him in with personal tutors, and gave him more a sense of freedom allowing travel outside the village.
Wanja was still slightly underage during the rebellion and uprising against Garrosh, and not truly allowed to fight. He did however, contribute to the war efforts by loading wagons and helping with supplies, as well as learning to heal the injured. He learned during this time frame he simply was not meant for healing alone. He traveled to Pandaria to visit his childhood best friend who was training to be a monk, to aid where he could as well. In the process of the adventures, while visiting the Tian Monastery he gained the honorary humorous title of the Shamon Monk from the local Pandaren children.
His Tauren guardian Siska who had raised Wanja from when he was small unexpectedly passed away during the rebellion. Wanja’s world was turned upside down. He took to really finding who he was and where his niche was in life during this time determined to do something with himself. He decided his first steps were by leaving that idealized youth behind him. He certainly struggled not to look back. It was, and is difficult for Wanja not to second guess himself and to only live in the moment. He put his best foot forward while focusing on his studies towards becoming a true shaman. He was trained by the troll Shaman Moj'akai, and had eventually became a contributing member of the Earthen Ring. He was given the title Fire Reaver, as it is his specialty that he is attuned with. He continued to contribute amongst those of the Earthen Ring for some time.
During the war in the land of Draenor he lost the passion for the tasks the Earthen Ring had given him.
Wanja began drawing further away from the affiliation and his old teachings albeit slowly. He was reluctant to end ties with them completely while he sought to find his own unique path. Wanja’s worked on a salvage/fishing merchant vessel the ’ Usiku Moyo’ as one of the crew members. So while others were fighting against Gul'dan's agenda he was focused on smaller ambitions on the water. He many different associations during this time, and is mind began expanding even further from village and conventional thought. His views on the world were drastically changing.
It was during the legion campaign that his attention was drawn home. It hurt, but he left his ship and crew mates to seek closure. Wanja had found the news of the death of his tribe's Jin, Vol'jin extremely devastating. The warchief had been someone he had admired from afar, a male Wanja secretly aspired to be like himself. He turned towards those he considered closest to family amongst the Earthen Ring, to seek a target for those emotions that brewed. Far from those years of early training and struggles Wan'ja was set upon the Broken shore. He was once more assigned to the side of his once mentor| adoptive father figure Moj'akai, to find that outlet for the rage and grief while in the process to bring a balance not only to himself, but in his small part all of Azeroth.
As for when the way opened towards Zandalar Wanja had great reservations of the new Warchief in power. He did not trust this new leadership, and where it will lead his tribe, or the Horde. He doesn't voice his disdain of these new directions too often. He was disgusted by the fact the focus was collecting the blood of the dying planet to better themselves. He understood it to a point but at the same time making him ill that no other resource, or means were even discussed. It caused him to pull away from the Horde further and focus on his new association with the tribe Sul'tusk. He was looking for other means to discover rational ways to help others. Studying and researching, trying his best to find different means to help others. He found himself very far and removed from those humble beginnings.
The shadowlands opened a far and hard new horizon, it made him question, it made him think, it caused him to seek out new resources to gain more knowledge to be used in a practical day to day use. It caused spiritual and metaphysical ideas to manifest as to how he could aid even more by his unconventional approaches with some traditional aid. He is learning more, and developing more, however, it greatly is dependent on the perspective if it is in a good direction or not.
His association with the Sul'Tusk tribe, a small group of once exiles from various tribes has greatly increased as the focus of war has shifted. He has recently became a spiritual advisor for Sul'Tusk. His ties and connection to the elements and his insight of spirit are greatly valued by the elder council members of the group. He is a vessel within a triumvirate of loa blessed power with the two other leaders of the tribe.
