Jesslynn during her retirement era between Shadowlands and the end of Dragonflight.

It took a long time for her to move forward after everything that happened, both physically and mentally. It took months for her to recover from her injuries sustained while fighting Anduin and the Jailer, and years for her to fully come to terms with the fact that her relationship with Anduin would never be the same again.

She spent nearly a year scouring Azeroth for any sign of Anduin after his departure from the Shadowlands, while simultaneously helping to reestablish interfaction relationships and rebuild after the destruction and bloodshed of the Fourth War. Eventually though, she hit a breaking point and was forced to finally confront the ways that she was living in denial and trying to maintain a version of her life that no longer existed.

It took her quite some time, but with the help of Shaw, Flynn and Jaina, Jess realized that maybe the best thing that she could do was to disappear for a while herself. So, she took out a chunk of her savings and bought herself a ranch in southeastern Elwynn. It took some effort, but she was able to create a real home for herself, with this being the first place she could ever truly call hers and hers alone. Over the next few years, she quit smoking, taught herself how to play guitar, and established an identity for herself that was completely detached from politics and the Wrynns for the first time since crossing paths with Varian over a decade ago. For a while, the only things that mattered to her were her horse Serendipity, the sounds of music and the laughter of her friends, and the feeling of the sun on her skin and the wind at her back.

When she responded to Wrathion's summons to the Dragon Isles, she was much more reserved in comparison to her previously extreme self sacrificing nature, and far less willing to risk her life despite her continued dedication to her duty to protect Azeroth and aid her friends. She was more strategic in her approach to efforts on the Isles, and often found herself retreating back to her stead to decompress and rest. For the first time in her life, her greatest priority was simply to live. Not for the next battle or war, not for someone else, but purely for herself. Jesslynn's newfound self love and appreciation for life is near unwavering, but her world will be shaken once more when she receives an unexpected knock at the door from the last person that she ever expected to see again...
