History Characters / WarcraftTheAllianceQuelThalas

* TragicBigot: Yes, she hates orcs, but look at it from her point of view: the last time she encountered orcs was in the time of ''Warcraft 2'' while all of the orcs were bloodthirsty murderous assholes (which was due to the Burning Legion, but she had no way of knowing that), and she's been gone since then so it's understandable she would be reluctant to believe the orcs weren't AlwaysChaoticEvil as they seemed to be.

* OurElvesAreBetter: Obviously follow most of the classic High Elf tropes, with the main difference being that they are technically a splintered faction of the Blood Elves who chose to keep their old name and stick with the Alliance. They can be visually distinguished from Blood Elves by usually being portrayed with glowing blue eyes instead of green. Void Elves are more similar to dark elves, what with pale skin, dark hair and sinister-looking [[EvilGoatee goatees]], but DarkIsNotEvil.

While these remaining high elves are not playable in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', they still remain active within the Alliance. Recent developments during and after the Third Legion Invasion has led to the formation of a branch of blood elves exiled from Silvermoon City for dabbling in Void arts, with some high elven members joining as well, known as the Void Elves (Ren'dorei in Thalassian), under the leadership of Alleria Windrunner who is the first elf to master the Void during the events in Argus. These elves are a playable allied race for the Alliance faction in Battle for Azeroth expansion.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Most void elves have dark hair, and all of them have unnaturally pale skin.

* BadassNormal: She doesn't have crazy void powers, she isn't an undead banshee queen. She's just an elf who's really, ''really'' good with a bow. Though she does use some arcane magic in her attacks, which may be a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation.

** In ''Shadowlands'', the Void Elves also receive a variety of new eye colors, ranging from blue eyes that are similar to the ones the High Elves have, to PurpleEyes. The High Elf [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] also get a their own unique variation of the latter, which isn't available to Void or Blood Elf players.

* DimensionalCutter: Their racial ability ''Spatial Rift'' gives them the ability to teleport through short distances by creating tears in reality. Similar rifts, but static and long-distance, are created during quests by void elf {{NPC}}s.

* CastingAShadow: Though not of them actually wield shadow magic, void elves have all been infused with it, giving them numerous innate abilities. In-game, this translates into the ability to teleport and a chance to have one's attacks empowered and deal additional shadow damage.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: being king doesn't prevent Anasterian from kicking ass.

* DualWielding: Felo'melorn in one hand and a staff in the other.

* UnknownCharacter: Out of the leaders of factions that had a major role in ''Warcraft III'', Anasterian not only never appears in person, but is not even mentioned at all, not even by his son. In fact, even though he fought hand-to-hand against Arthas when the Scourge invaded Silvermoon City, in the game, Silvermoon's hero unit is an unidentified human archmage.

* BadassGrandpa: Even by the standards of high elves Anasterian was '''old''', yet still capable of kicking ass.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite being aligned with the Army of the Light, she is learning how to channel Void energy from Locus Walker, a Void Ethereal; his teachings ensure she remains in control of herself.

* TheExile: She was exiled from Quel'Thalas due to her dealings with the Void and Alliance sympathies, since Quel'Thalas under the rule of Lor'themar stands firmly with the Horde now.

* HearingVoices: Since taking the Void into herself, its power whispers to her, demanding she take certain actions for its own ends, like killing Turalyon to "free him from the Light" or to kill Sylvanas.

* {{Hypocrite}}/{{NotSoDifferent}}: [[spoiler:She worries about the inevitable meeting between herself and Sylvanas, and questions if she is even still her sister or a "Light-forsaken monster". To her credit, she does admit that she isn't so different herself, what with her being the first void elf and all.]]

* OneOfThisIsNotLikeTheOther: Like the worgen and to a lesser extent Dark Iron dwarves, void elves are distinguished from the rest of the Alliance by being based on what is traditionally an evil fantasy race (dark elves). Aesthetics-wise, they are more similar to the Horde, which ''breathes'' the DarkIsNotEvil trope.

* DimensionalCutter: Their racial ability ''Spatial Rift'' gives them the ability to teleport through short distances by creating tears in reality. Similar rifts, but static and long-distance, are created during quests by void elf NPCs.
