* NobleBigotWithABadge: He genuinely cares about his people and was a good leader, but he was somewhat disdainful of non night elves. Even his own racist second in command only accepted them because Rhonin Brox and Krasus threatened to leave, which would kill morale.

* HeelRealization: In the ''Shadows Rising'' novel, [[spoiler:after being presented a captured Sira Moonwarden, Miev and Shandris help Tyrande to realize that her new attitude against the Horde and anyone remotely associated with Sylvanas made her no better than the undead Night Elf, filled with nothing but bitterness and hate who only sought her next murder victim.]]

** Also undergoes this in the Horde version of the Val'sharah storyline. At the start, she treats Horde players with barely hidden disdain, constantly doubts their capabilities, and gives them several thinly veiled {{Implied Death Threat}}s if their efforts to [[spoiler:save Malfurion]] fail. By the end of the storyline, however, she acknowledges their heroics and admits that while the differences between the Horde and the Alliance may be irreconcilable, the Horde player has proven themselves to her as an honorable hero.

* InformedAttribute: The Night Warrior ritual is supposed to transform whoever undergoes it into an avatar of Elune's Vengeance, it's a ritual said to be so powerful that merely ''witnessing it'' can kill you and that it pumps the individual undergoing it with so much power that they inevitably get overwhelmed by it and die. And yet, after undergoign that ritual, Tyrande doesn't really do much more than before, and doesn't manifest any stronger power than previously, to the point that Nathanos (a powerful and unusual undead for sure, but certainly not more than a powerful normal Death Knight) is able to hold his own against her and fight her to a standstill.

** She calls the Nightborne "mana addicts" and her world quest descriptions are noticeably more hostile to them than her counterpart, Liadrin's. For example, in a quest that sends the player to kill some of Elisande's forces who are attacking fleeing Nightborne refugees, Liadrin stresses that the player protect the refugees by killing their attackers while Tyrande views it as a chance to test Elisande's forces in battle.

* FatalFlaw: Pride, but ultimately played with. As her flanderizations and racism in WOW have gotten worse, she genuinely looked down on all Horde races even after several times where both sides worked together against a bigger threat. She openly expressed her concern that Thalyssra could become another Elisande or Azshara, even though Thalyssra had started and led a rebellion against a Legion ally and Tyrande did something to Thalyssra that she despises herself (being compared to Azshara). However she still worked with them, and their dialogue hints at some [[NoodleIncident past personal issue between them]].

* {{Transhuman}}: The night elves (and, by extension, all other elves) descend from a dark troll tribe who were transformed by the magic of the Well of Eternity. The Well gave them extremely long lifespans and improved their capabilities for magic use.

* NubileSavage: The extent to which they qualify as "savage" is debatable but for a forest-dwelling race of nature-lovers, their women are decidedly well-groomed. For most game art and lore depictions, this holds true.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: He's the leader of the druids, and thus has a very close connection to nature, as well as considerable respect for all the races, Alliance and Horde. In fact, he isn't even flagged for PvP.

* DoomedHometown: [[spoiler: In the opening of the the Battle for Azeroth expansion, Teldrassil is burned to cinders. The rest of the Night Elf settlements on Kalimdor's mainland are conquered by the Horde, with the Night Elves fleeing to the Eastern kingdoms]].

In Legion, Tyrande focuses on the fight against the Legion as she and her people are more familiar with the evils of the Legion than any other except the Draenei. Working alongside heroes of both the Alliance and the Horde, she combats Xavius and his Emerald Nightmare in Val'Sharah. She later leads the Alliance forces sent to aide the Nightfallen in Suramar. Having never forgotten how the Nightborne betrayed and abandoned the Kaldorei during the War of the Ancients, Tyrande still harbors a deep distrust of them.

* PetTheDog: Helping rescue the Furbolg tribe and helping them evacuate at the beginning of the Night Elf campaign in ''Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos''. Also [[spoiler:letting Saurfang live after the latter had struck Malfurion down with an underhanded blow in Battle for Azeroth]].

[[folder: Sira Moonwarden]]

* MissionControl: Serves as the main contact and coordinator of ''Legion's'' World Bosses. [[spoiler:After her transformation into a Forsaken, she serves as one of the three Horde commanders of the Darkshore Warfront in ''Battle for Azeroth''.]]

* HornedHumanoid: Stag-like horns, to be specific.

* TookALevelInBadass: After the burning of Teldrassil, [[spoiler: Tyrande took part in a ritual that turn her into a Night Warrior, the most warlike aspect of the Goddess Elune.]]

* InformedAbility: [[spoiler:The Night Warrior blessing,]] as described under DangerousForbiddenTechnique and TookALevelInBadass, is supposed to grant her powers from Elune herself, and make Tyrande into a direct avatar of her vengeance, but during the quests following that event, she's not shown as particularly more powerful then before. Compared to the trail of Forsaken corpses she left before the ritual, afterward she fails to kill [[spoiler: Nathanos (not an ordinary undead by any means, but probably only equivalent to a powerful Death Knight) and a Val'kyr during the subsequent fight]], even with Malfurion's help.

Leader of druids and Cenarion Circle while Malfurion was trapped in the Emerald Dream, and the one responsible for planting Teldrassil, the second World Tree (against Malfurion's advice) after Nordrassil fell in the war. During his reign as head of the druids, he was in a constant power-struggle with Tyrande over the question of who should be ruling the night elves. Fandral was the leader in the war of Shifting Sands that prevented the silithid taking over Kalimdor, at the cost of his son, Valstann, who was brutally executed right in front of him. Since his son's death, he has sworn to bring him back in any way possible.
