Background

This section concerns content exclusive to the Warcraft universe.

A peerless hunter and Leader and Queen of the Night Elves by moonlight and the chosen of the goddess Elune, Tyrande Whisperwind has led the night elves in war for ages.

Tyrande was born thousands of years ago and grew up in the company of Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage. She answered the call of the Sisters of Elune, followers of the night elves' Goddess of the Moon, and became a novice priestess, while the Stormrage brothers followed different paths. Their destinies merged anew when the Burning Legion arrived on Azeroth.

Tyrande and Malfurion grew close and battled against the invading demons together, but Illidan pursued a darker path, feigning allegiance to the Burning Legion and succumbing to the temptations of power. After the defeat of the Legion and the Sundering, Tyrande and Malfurion helped rebuild elven society; Illidan was imprisoned beneath Mount Hyjal.

The couple could not remain together for long; soon after the night elves settled near Mount Hyjal, Malfurion and the other night elf druids were needed in the Emerald Dream. While Malfurion slept in the Dream, Tyrande commanded her people, forming the Sentinels – the night elven army – to guard their lands and allies.

During the Third War, Tyrande sent her Sentinels to deter the advances of the Horde in Kalimdor, but ultimately ended up working with them to battle the armies of the Burning Legion, an effort that also forced her to awaken the druids, including Malfurion, from the Emerald Dream. Their time together was cut short when the elder Stormrage suffered from the corruption of the Dream, but Tyrande joined her lover to defeat the menace, and they both returned to Azeroth, where they protected their people (and the other races of the Alliance) from the destruction caused by Deathwing and the advances of Garrosh Hellscream in Kalimdor.

Quotes

Main article: Tyrande/Quotes

Trivia

• Tyrande first appeared in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (July 2002).
• Her book debut was almost two years later, in The Well of Eternity (March 2004).
• Tyrande is voiced by Elisa Gabrielli.
• She was under consideration for inclusion as early as 2011.
• One of Tyrande's gag quotes is a reference to Sailor Moon's taunt phrase, "In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!" Tyrande's status as the High Priestess of Elune clearly shows.
• Tyrande's dance animation is derived from the dance steps of Beyoncé's Single Ladies music video.
• In Warcraft III, Tyrande was an Amazonian character. In World of Warcraft she had a moon dress and ceremonial armor that didn't necessarily reflect what the art team wanted from a character who was meant to be combative and hands-on on the battlefield. Her Heroes of the Storm design was meant to combine that iconic white dress with an armored Sentinel look.
• Tyrande is the first female Healer hero in the game.
• One of Tyrande's gag quotes refers to the Jehovah's Witnesses, a Christian denomination known for their door-to-door preaching.
• One of her gag quote references Goodnight Moon, a picture book for children.
• The Banshee Tyrande skin resembles the Highborne.
• The Stormwind Warden Tyrande skin resembles a Stormwind City archer.

Ability and talent notes

• Both abilities: Light of Elune and Sentinel, share the same properties as Malfurion's Regrowth and Tranquility, in which it can effectively make the Basic Attack cooldown longer or shorter, depending on the cast point. In short, you can reset your next Basic Attack if you cast 'these' abilities during the 'projectile animation' of an Basic Attack. This can be potentially powerful, yet situational for Tyrande.
• The level 4 upgrade: "Mark of Mending", can heal every single thing that can deal damage. Which means it can heal things like structures, objective and camp bosses. The uses of this talent might be limited, but it has excellent synergy with High-Attack Speed heroes like Tracer, as it can heal an attacking Tracer for 16% of her maximum health/second.
