Birth of the Hero of Sylvenas

Life, Birth

175

Born to a male Elven farmer and a female Human warrior, the woman who would later become the Hero of Sylvenas was raised by a loving home, and works as a farmhand on the family farm for most of her early life.   While the name of this Half-Elven woman is lost to time, the way she looked has been thoroughly documented by statue makers, historians and Bards at the time: she had green hair and blue eyes, the latter being a rarity amongst Half-Elves at the time. Her nose bridge was dotted with freckles, and her urge to help people would later lead to her becoming a Paladin. This is much to the pride of her mother, but her father fears for her safety. She enjoyed customizing her armor with bright colours.


The Hero of Sylvenas is even said to have visited a country where her eye colour gave her some form of social privilege over her close friends and allies. She felt appalled at this practice, as she was quite open-minded for her time: she believed that the only thing that made a man good or evil were the motivations behind their actions. But used it if her friends found themselves in trouble for defying it. In the time period she lived in, she was one of the few who tolerated friendly Orcs, Goblins and Dark Elves within her presence. She also famously refused to denounce het Monk friend when he got bitten by a Werewolf, and turned into one himself.
