History Characters / WarcraftTheAllianceDarnassus

* {{Flanderization}}: Her xenophobia and hotheadness become more prominent as the games progress, to the point of often being the only traits she displays, while her compassionate side, [[TheMenFirst sense of camaraderie]] and even [[ReligiousBruiser her devotion to Elune]] are increasingly downplayed or completely left out.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero / WhatTheHellHero: Chances are, Illidan would've never [[FaceHeelTurn changed sides]] if Malfurion hadn't exiled him for '''saving Felwood''', [[HeroicSacrifice even at the cost of consuming a demonic artifact]].

* BigDamnHeroes: She leads an attack on a large group of Kor'kron reinforcements in Siege of Orgrimmar, enabling Vol'jin and the players to get into the gates of Orgrimmar after the Iron Juggernaut's destruction.

Following Garrosh's fall and subsequent imprisonment, Tyrande is appointed as the Accuser in the [=Shado-Pan=]'s trial for the disgraced former Warcheif. Consumed by her longheld anger and rage over the murder of Cenarius and the desecration of Kalimdor's forests, Tyrande attempts to convince both the court and her less hardline Alliance brethren that the Horde, the Orcs in particular, have done more harm than good, citing the near genocide of the Draenei, the enslavement of the Red Dragonflight, and [[spoiler:the destruction of Theramore]]. While these attempts are thwarted by the rational testimonies of witnesses of all three events, even Malfurion notes that by the end, Tyrande has become a far darker, bitter and vengeful figure than she ever was before.

High Priestess of Elune and official head of the Night Elf government. 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. A friend of Malfurion and Illidan since childhood, Tyrande found peace in the Temple of Elune in Suramar, and became a novice priestess in the order of the Sisters of Elune. During the battles against the Burning Legion it became apparent that Tyrande was far more adept at channelling the power of Elune than any other member of her order, to the point that the former High Priestess Dejahna named Tyrande as her successor.

After the the druids entered the Emerald Dream (along with Malfurion, despite Tyrande begging him to stay), Tyrande and the remaining night elven women reformed the Sentinels and kept peace throughout much of Kalimdor. They did so alongside Cenarius' sons and daughters, the Keepers of the Grove and the dryads, and the many creatures who knew and loved the Moon Goddess.

With Malfurion trapped in the Emerald Dream, Tyrande put aside her disappointment and again became the sole ruler of her people, with Fandral Staghelm leading the druids in Malfurion’s absence. During this time she became aware of the corruption eating away at the Emerald Dream. When Eranikus assaulted Moonglade, the High Priestess led a half-dozen of her fellows to aid the defenders and defeated him. She also played a crucial role in bringing the Draenei into the Alliance and freeing Malfurion from the Emerald Nightmare.

High Priestess of Elune and official head of the Night Elf government. 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 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.

* InnateNightVision: All Night Elves have this in lore. In fact, some lore states they are nocturnal.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She and Malfurion is one of the better examples in the lore.
-->'''Tyrande''': ''"Raw power is no substitute for true strength [[spoiler:Illidan. That is why I chose your brother over you]]."''

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Night Elf hair colour, along with green, purple, pink and aqua.

* Flanderization: Her xenophobia and hotheadness become more prominent as the games progress, to the point of nearly being the only traits she displays, while her compassionate side, [[TheMenFirst sense of camaraderie]] and even [[ReligiousBruiser her devotion to Elune]] are portrayed less and less.

* KarmaHoudini: Maiev did berate her for slaughtering her wardens in the ''Reign of Chaos'' campaign and freeing a character who proceeded to cause havoc in night elf lands, but that was all the "punishment" she got.

* LeeroyJenkins: Just like [[Characters/WarcraftTheHorde Grom Hellscream]] she did it before the TropeNamer, her reaction to hearing that there's a dangerous criminal imprisoned inside a cave while she and Malfurion were on a mission to save the Druids of the Claw? Charge into the prison with half the forces, kill a massive number of her own people and free the prisoner. Though said prisoner is Malfurion's brother and was instrumental in turning the tide of the war.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: At first when she led the Night Elf sentinels to fight the allied Horde and Alliance troops that are otherwise fighting the Scourge and the Burning Legion. She slowly turned away from this after Malfurion was awakened.

* {{Flanderization}}: In the books, Malfurion goes from being a bit of a controlling dick to being a pure saint.

* CharacterDerailment: Has been getting hit with this increasingly, especially since Mists of Pandaria (though some of that was, unfortunately, [[CharacterShilling to try and make Varian look good]]). Tyrande's character now bears little resemblance to her original characterisation in Warcraft 3.

In the events of the ''Stormrage'' novel, it was revealed that Fandral was in fact responsbile for poisoning Malfurion and trapping him in the Emerald Dream. He was being manipulated by a conjured image of his son; it was at the image's behest to poison Malfurion and grow Teldrassil in the first place. After the vision was broken, Fandral fell into madness and lost his mind. He was then put under the care of the Wardens in Mount Hyjal, but was broken out by the forces of the Firelands, becoming leader of the newly established Druids of the Flame.

* FaceHeelTurn: He might have been crazy at the end of Stormrage and during the events of the Hyjal quest chain, but it looks like he's gone completely off the wagon in the Firelands; he has allied himself with Ragnaros against Malfurion.

* {{Stripperific}}: Mostly in her artwork, though, such as [[http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo261/tungbodanhloto/normal_Tyrande.jpg this]], where.... um, you know, she doesn't wear much for a priestess. Even in [[http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/wowpedia.org/9/96/Tyrande_HotS.png Heroes of The Storm]], she has AbsoluteCleavage.

* TheWorfEffect/WorfHadTheFlu: Grom Hellscream, established Horde Badass, made a note of their savagery, called them perfect warriors who's equal he had not seen. But with every expansion, to show how much of a threat a new enemy is or how bad the world is going, the Night Elves take the biggest hits and losses.

-->'''Malfurion''': If pride gives us pause, my love, then perhaps we have lived long enough already.
