Hoodwink DOTA 2 debut

"Hoodwink's earliest years were spent in idyllic expanse of green that once filled edges of Krimwohl. But as that kingdom grew, rival timber barons raced to outpace each or in devouring natural beauty of border forests. folk living in se timberlands h little choice but to surrender, fall defending ir homes, or flee rth to tempt fate in haunted glens and groves of misty Wood Tomo'kan.

Having learned tricks of safe pass in tangles of those very moist woods, where most living creatures wisely fear to tre, Hoodwink w strikes out against any who dare try to furr pacify wilds -- happily taking what she likes from ir belongings, destroying what she has use for, and helping guide any kindred survivors back to life in green once again."
