Tyrande Whisperwind

Tyrande Whisperwind from World of Warcraft.is the chosen high priestess of the goddess Elune, the former general of the night elf Sentinels and the current head of the Sisterhood of Elune. Together with her lifelong mate, the archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, she has represented the highest leadership of the night elves since the fall of Queen Azshara and the Highborne caste ten thousand years ago. Since the middle of the Fourth War, Tyrande is also the current incarnation of the Night Warrior, the embodiment of Elune's wrath.

In the years prior to the Burning Legion's first invasion, Tyrande was the object of both Malfurion and his brother Illidan's affections. In the end, the priestess chose the druid over the sorcerer. After playing a pivotal role in the War of the Ancients, Tyrande was promoted to General of the Sentinels and would protect Kalimdor for over 10,000 years while her lover and the druids slept in the Emerald Dream. Tyrande and Malfurion then led the night elves in the Third War, defeating the Burning Legion as they had done in ages past at the Battle of Mount Hyjal. She subsequently stepped down as general, handing the reins to her adoptive daughter Shandris Feathermoon, to devote herself fully as leader of her people.

Shortly before the start of the War of the Ancients, Tyrande met the orc Broxigar, whom she helped escape from captivity in Suramar, and later reunited with the time-traveling Krasus and Rhonin.

During the War of the Ancients, Tyrande healed the wounded in Suramar along with the other priestesses, who had turned the Temple of Elune into a refuge. The brothers Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage both saw her as a love interest, but in the end Tyrande would only return the feelings to one of them.

When the night elven rebellion led by Kur'talos Ravencrest finally arrived to Suramar, the priestesses of the moon donned their armor and joined with them. Many civilians joined the host, and Suramar was abandoned. One of those civilians was a young orphan named Shandris Feathermoon, a little girl that would look up to Tyrande ever after.

Before High Priestess Dejahna died at the hands of the Burning Legion, she named her successor, one who was favored by Elune and touched with the power of the goddess herself, Tyrande. A new recruit herself, she doubted her ability to lead the order, yet she still accepted her new role as High Priestess in honor of Dejahna. All the priestesses agreed with Dejahna's decision for they too believed Tyrande's abilities to be extraordinary, and a sign of Elune's approval.

Tyrande was later abducted by the satyr Xavius and imprisoned within Queen Azshara's palace. The Queen found Tyrande beautiful enough to join her handmaidens, though the priestess refused the offer. This led to Lady Vashj attempting to murder her, and later to Dath'Remar Sunstrider freeing her when the rebel armies finally marched on the palace. Tyrande is the passionate, and occasionally rash, leader of the night elf Sentinels. She is also the high priestess of the Moon, and worships Elune with total submission and adoration. She loves Malfurion Stormrage and will do almost anything to help or protect him. Tyrande is a caring soul at her core, and is willing to do anything to protect those she loves and is sworn to protect — which these days means the entire kaldorei race. She is decisive, and may take courses of action that others find disagreeable, but always has the well being of Kalimdor at the forefront of her thoughts. Illidan Stormrage once observed that she looked like a goddess herself in her war regalia, a compliment Tyrande was reluctant to accept, given her initially peaceful nature. Tyrande is in many ways the perfect avatar for Elune on Azeroth: she is a caring and gentle soul when she needs to be, but is willing to do whatever it takes to protect her home and her people. Tyrande was originally daunted by her task but found the strength needed to adapt with the support of her beloved Malfurion.

She is highly suspicious of outsiders from other races, and only rarely volunteers advice or assistance to them. The most she will offer to do for visitors is to provide a small escort of archers or huntresses to guide them, as well as to secretly keep tabs on them and prevent them from despoiling her homeland in any way. As she grows to know outsiders better, she tends to open up more to them and can become quite friendly. She often develops a deep respect and camaraderie with anyone who fights side-by-side with her on the battlefield and appreciates the assistance of strangers even if she doesn't display or communicate that appreciation very well. In recent years, Tyrande seems to have developed a more amiable and open-minded personality, perhaps due to her exposure and interaction with the races of the Alliance. Her balance in judgment, wisdom, and strong intuition provide her with any caution and foresight needed before taking decisions that could affect her people and the Alliance as a whole. She is tall(200cm). She has lilac skin and very long elf ears. Long hair, pale green, whitish eyes without pupils
