#Laeona and Allueneth were their names

[sigurdjarlson]

Fascinated by the realization that Ladelia was so young she most likely doesn’t remember their parents

She tries. Diily tells her about them. How their mother had blue hair like her and Alaluria and their father had purple hair like Diily.

Diily tells her how their mother was a huntress. They had family in Suramar on their mother’s side but their grandparents didn’t like their father for some reason so they didn’t see them often.

They’ve passed by the time they return to Suramar thousands of years later.

She tells her that their dad was a fisherman like his parents. That his parents adopted him when they found him all alone as a baby. Their grandfathers were very nice and humble people.

She says their dad was magically inclined like her but he didn’t seem to like magic as much as she does for some reason. Diily says he started studying it again though when she first showed magical ability so he could help her and teach her if she needed it.

Diily tells her that their mother always seemed like the most powerful person in the world to her like there was nothing she couldn’t do. She also says her smile was always soft and full of love for them.

She says their father was always laughing. He was silly. Diily tells her she’s a lot like him but that’s the only way she knows she is.

She says that they always kissed them goodnight and tucked them in. Their father liked to tell them stories and use funny voices.

She says their mother sang them a lullaby, she asks Diily to sing it to her once and she does but later she hears her sister crying softly when she thinks they’ve fallen asleep. She doesn’t ask again and Diily sings her different songs.

She says Ladelia liked to sit with her and their father while they fished. Alaluria sometimes had a hard time sitting still for that long but her father was always patient with her and always give her something to do so she wouldn’t get bored.

She says their parents encouraged Alaluria’s interest in rocks and jewels. She thinks about that every time she sees Alaluria doing something with gems.

Diily says their mother is the one who taught her archery and how to work with leather and skin animals. She taught her to always thank the animal for its sacrifice, to always respect her prey. She starts noticing that Diily takes a moment to do this after every kill.

More than anything else though Diily tells her they were loved. Their parents loved them more than life itself and that’s why they gave their lives to save them.

She wants to remember them so badly.

It seems strange to miss people she can’t even remember but she thinks she does.

Sometimes she swears she has vague memories of the things Diily tells her but it’s more that her mind builds images to fill in the blank spots she knows should be there.

…and at that point is it even her memory at all?

Random facts about my various babies

Jeanette despite being one of the most visibly cheerful members of the gang has a sad backstory. She was one of the lucky ones who escaped Gnomeregan when it fell and made it to Ironforge. It’s where she met Thorhilde and she sorta latched onto her from there. Thorhilde acts like she’s the most annoying person in the world but adores her. They’re kinda in love but don’t know it yet shh

Gaillen bit Fae and that’s how she contracted the worgen curse. She’s never forgiven herself for it even if Fae sees the worgen curse as more of a blessing.

Fae is an angel but any other members of the gang will tell you they’ve never seen anything more terrifying than her fighting Arthas by Gaillen’s side. No ONE hurts her wife to be okay especially some princely frozen popsicle bitch boy

Saalina has the biggest soft spot for Anduin Wrynn. (Platonically for the record) and actually greatly admires him despite her being thousands of years older than him. She tries to model herself after him and not let her anger and grief get the best of her. The trip to Argus has been very rough on her. she’s also very protective of him seriously she will smite you if someone dares hurt a hair on Anduin’s head.

Laeona (The girls’ mama) raised Brightheart from birth when her mother abandoned her. She was a child herself and her parents figured it would be a good way to teach her responsibility. It worked. She bottle fed her and everything.and created a lifelong bond with not only Laeona but many, many years later..her children too.

It helped mold her Laeona into the kind, loving person she was. I mean you didn’t think her daughter’s habit of picking up strays came out of no where did you?

While Diily is amazing with a bow she sucks with a sword. She is quite good with a dagger however. Laeona taught her some basic skills and then later Erlaina helped her hone those skills. Just in case she’s ever caught off guard. She has quite a few daggers hidden in her armor courtesy of Erlaina. Hey, you never know what could happen-

Alaluria pretends she's not haunted by some of the things she's been ordered to do in Illidan's name. But she is. As much as she hates Akama and will torment the poor guy..she feels guilt over what happened with the Broken. 

Allueneth (their dad) had two dads. They adopted him from an orphanage. He displayed his magical powers at a young age and they would have taken him to the city to learn more if he was interested but he was much more interested in fishing in the lake honestly. He learned a bit of this and that during his lifetime by never really cared much about it. When Ladelia showed her affinity for magic he dedicated much more time to learning and honing those skills so he could properly teach his daughter. They learned a lot together honestly. Delia is much more interested in magic than he was though

I think I’ve talked about Laeona’s upbringing before. Her family was fairly wealthy, stuffy in the way noble elves tend to be. She wanted none of that life. That girl wanted ADVENTURE. She’d sneak out into the woods with Brightheart most of the time. 

They didn’t approve of Allueneth at all at first I mean *scoffs in nelf* he’s just some nobody who lives in the woods and fishes for a living...peasant. Giving to the needy and stuff is one thing. I mean they encourage that but taking one as your mate? *gasp* Laeona never cared and they eventually had no choice but to accept it and him because they didn’t want to lose her. But damn it the goofball grew on em a little eventually. He’s just too lovable to hate for long ;)

Both sets of grandparents adored their grandchildren. Honestly the girls probably have some aunts, uncles, cousins, etc but I haven’t got around to developing them. I’m already in so deep with Diily, Alaluria and Ladelia’s frickin..dead family

Laeona saved Allueneth’s from some bullies when they were kids and that’s how they met. He was starstruck by this little elf girl in her fancy dress and her nightsaber kicking some older night elves’ teeth in. Then she just looked at him and grinned. She was covered in dirt and had twigs and who knows what else in her hair but she was still the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. Smitten from the very start.

Allueneth would adore Khadgar. To a degree of course. No one is good enough for any of his girls. No matter how amazing they are! 

They would have totally had a few more kids if they lived. They loved being parents. Their girls were their entire world. (curse me for brutally killing them rip) They had a lot of love to give..but so do their girls too so :’) 

Alaluria has quite literally beaten people to death with gems before. Enemies of course. She's also thrown one or two at Illidan's head. Don't worry they just bounce off...he has a hard head.

Diily woke up in bed with several Valajar the morning after her huntmaster party. Hey she was single then so why the hell not.

Ladelia develops crushes on 98% of the ladies she meets. She's just a very gay lovable mage

Hiti was a really lonely girl. She never really had any friends. She’s just shy and very anxious and now she’s got a family of her own albeit a bit of a crazy misfit one<3 also this big cutie loves to cook. Seriously she loves to e a t and she’s always feeding her misfit family. Ladelia is the same way. Good thing they’re all bottomless pits. Hrolf and Lyall in particular. They’ll eat anything. A n y t h i n g

Speaking of the big boofs. Hrolf loves all body types but he’s got an extra soft (er..hard) spot for chubbiness. 

Hrolf had a crush on Ladelia but alas she doesn’t like men. He accepted her gentle rejection with grace and is now her wing-man.

Diily is very serious about using every part of her (animal) kills. I know I’ve talked about this on here before but it’s strangely sweet imo. But yeah. It’s disrespectful to just leave a kill. Respect the creature and the sacrifice it made you heathens. 

You know...bone into weaponry, furs/leathers into blankets/clothing/armor/etc, meat for food (for both the group and her pets), etc..I’m the furthest thing from a hunter irl so I don’t know what else you can do but im sure there’s a lot. She’s mainly a leather-worker but is quite good with other things too but If she can’t do something with some part she gives it to someone who can. 

(random: she has so many fur blankets. its impossible to be cold in her room.

Diily will let her cats eat you alive if you piss her off enough and oh...they will.if you upset their Diily 

(and just think some of them are significantly bigger than big mama Shiva here and with saber tooth tiger fangs)

Erlaina is a bit of a hoarder. She loves gold and she loves stuff. She’s the one most of the gang tosses their stuff over to when they want it sold or held onto and she’s more than happy to take it off her hands. Diily has to prod her a bit sometimes when her uh...collection gets too big and needs to be sold.

Hasn’t really been shown much in my fics yet but this really is like a  “found-family” kind of situation. They all really love each other dearly. Loyal as hell. It seems to just keep growing too

A family isn’t just two parents and some kids it can be...four night elves, four werewolves, a russian space goat, a gnome, a panda and a dwarf. ;) 

Referring to them as “the gang” makes me laugh because it reminds me of IASIP. 

you know im 90% sure I’ve talked about a lot of these before but /shrug I just like thinking and talking about them

[sigurdjarlson]

you know..my girls are complicated x) 

(quick backstory if u don’t know: parents were killed when the legion attacked, they fled into the wilds with their nightsabers. diily more or less had to raise her sisters despite being a child herself. they just wandered from place to place with their cats for a long time, just trying to survive. (they were kinda raised by nightsabers lmao. they’re very close to their sabers) Eventually Diily and Alaluria settled and became sentinels. Ladelia studied magic in secret since at that point arcane magic was a NO NO for elves after all that..sundering shit.

Diily and Alaluria ended up being some of Tyrande’s most trusted sentinels. This is where Alaluria ended up meeting Illidan. She fell so hard for this dumbass and genuinely agreed with his views on the war and such. (unlike Diily) and she ended up taking off and joining the Illidari later on leaving Diily and Ladelia alone.

Diily and Ladelia had no idea Illidan was trying to save the world and instead saw this as her joining the Legion. So naturally there’s a huge amount of pain and betrayal there Then as we know Illidan and the Illidari get locked up and just recently were let go and here we are! She’s been reunited with her sisters) 

Alaluria and Diily have a complicated relationship. They’re very close but Alaluria taking off to join Illidan was a devastating blow for both Diily and Ladelia (especially since at that time it was viewed as Illidan = Legion) And they’re still trying to heal the wounds from that but none of them have ever stopped loving the other. Even when they hated each other. In some ways it has helped them. 

It helped Diily let go of Alaluria and now she understands Alaluria needs to forge her own path. And it’s allowed Alaluria create her own identity beyond her family. (for better or for worse lmfao Illidari ftw) 

Ladelia and Diily are very close. They haven’t ever been apart for very long really? She’s learned from Alaluria though and is beginning to understand she can’t hold on quite so tight. Even if it’s scary letting them go. (”I will always hold you close but I will learn to let you go~” no but really Light by Sleeping at Last is completely perfect for Diily and her baby sisters. im emotionalllll)

Alaluria and Ladelia are close as well but that relationship is complicated too. Ladelia has more or less forgiven her for her actions now that she understands Alaluria didn’t fuck off and join the Legion. Diily has to for the most part although there’s still quite a bit to work through. 

Alaluria however...has been locked up in a cell for how many years? Diily and Ladelia have been out adventuring that entire time. there’s a closeness between Diily and Ladelia that Alaluria kind of resents sometimes She should have been there with them..but she was locked up in a damn cell. She almost feels out of place at times now. 

They’re all just getting to know each other again. And healing from some very serious emotional wounds. There’s still some anger and hurt there definitely but there’s so much love there as well. They’ll figure it out and they are. They’re all becoming close again and hopefully in a more healthy way. 

The three of them have all had a rather...codependent relationship with each other. How could they not? They grew up only having each other? Diily was more or less a child and yet she had to be their sole parent figure. Her entire life was taking care of them. That was her sole purpose in life for a long time.

Alaluria doesn’t respond well to being controlled and that’s where her and Diily butted heads often. Alaluria is headstrong and hot tempered and both Diily and her are stubborn as hell. So that doesn’t help. As painful as her leaving was it taught them all a lot. (It was terrifying for Alaluria don’t be fooled by her gruffness. For the first time she was without her sisters and she was thrust into a very brutal environment. Traumatizing really) And both Diily and Delia were absolutely devastated but they had each other and that kept them going. 

But Ladelia and Alaluria? They’re Diily’s entire world. “Take care of your sisters.” Were some of her mother’s last words to her and that’s what she’s done. No matter the cost. No matter how much she has to sacrifice or give. She does. She’s done the best she could with what she had. 

God, losing both of them would break her. Do whatever you want to her just don’t hurt them. Although she has forged relationships of her own too along the way so I like to think she might be able to find solace and support in others if something did happen to them. It would be extremely difficult and a very long, hard road but I think so. She has friends. She has..Khadgar. But before all that? She couldn’t survive it. 

Oh! Speaking of jealousy. Admittedly Diily’s hatred of Illidan doesn’t come from a completely selfless place. That’s her little sister and he took her away. Of course that’s not entirely correct and she struggles with reminding herself of that. Alaluria made her own decision. Yet, she can’t help but view him as the man who took her baby sister away and...turned her into what she is today.

And of course there’s the obvious and main reasons she doesn’t like him. He’s Illidan fucking Stormrage. The Betrayer. Illidan ‘murder everybody for the greater good” Stormrage. She doesn’t trust him nor does she particularly like his arrogant ass He’s the worst possible choice for her sister in her eyes but..Alaluria loves him and she has to support her in that.

Ah. Alaluria loves him despite him being in love with another. Despite him being...well, illidan. And oh, Diily knows...this is going to end with Alaluria’s heart breaking. And she doesn’t want that. She wants to protect her from it but she can’t. We can’t choose who we love. 

She’s better at controlling it then Alaluria though. Alaluria doesn’t dislike Khadgar per say? But she’s often rather snippy with him and it’s for a similiar reason. She comes back and is starting to become close to her sisters again and there’s this...human taking up all her big sister’s time. She’s never been good with Diily’s significant others for that reason but this one is different. And she doesn’t want him to take her away.

Also she dislikes that he’s a human for several reasons. She has a bit of a superiority complex. Why wouldn’t Diily pick another night elf? Why a human of all races? Sure he’s powerful and intelligent but he’s..a human.

Ah...and he will die. He will die soon in her eyes because remember night elves live thousands of years. 80-90 is the average lifespan right? (and that’s not taking into account Khadgar’s borderline suicidal reckless nature and the fact that he’s fighting in a war) although mages have longer lifespans I think...still 100 years even isn’t much to them.  Human lifespans are so very short compared to theirs. He will die and it’s going to absolutely shatter her big sister’s heart. Why did he have to be the one she chose? She doesn’t want that to happen. She really doesn’t.

Ladelia has similiar concerns for Diily/Khadgar but she;s got a much more positive outlook? She just doesn’t think about it. If she doesn’t think about it..she’s not sad so...we’ll deal with that when it happens. Gotta enjoy the present you know? Also she adores Khadgar. Best big brother ever. 

Ladelia is..wary of Illidan. He’s Illidan but...she tries to give him the benefit of the doubt. Alaluria loves him so there must be something good about him, right? She tries to see the good in him for her sake. She’s much more tolerant of him than Diily. She knows it’ll end badly for Alaluria but like with Diily and Khadgar..you just gotta enjoy the present.

Ladelia doesn’t really have a relationship at the moment. She’s got an enormous crush on Jaina but that’s not going anywhere. (She’s AWOL plus in a relationship with kalec? I think? are they still together? who knows) So, she’s just sad about that. 

Alaluria has never met Jaina and Diily is fond of Jaina so there’s that. But for Alaluria she’s like...wtf they both keep falling for humans?? Human mages with issues?? why?? they’re so?? human

When Ladelia does get into a relationship (with anyone) heheh...she’s got two big sisters who are very protective of her. I almost feel for the person except Ladelia can hold her own and would call them out if they overstep. 

They’re family. Got a lot of issues but what family doesn’t? But they love each other unconditionally. 

They’re my babies. 

Hm perhaps I’ll make a post on Laeona and Allueneth if you guys actually enjoy reading this xD I had fun coming up with their backstory and relationship. (lady and the tramp trope incoming) and I love them. Sadly because..well I killed them.

(you know i think i gotta change their dad’s name. when i picked it i didn’t realize it was the same as that damn staff’s. I got it from a name generator and i mean sure it could be a coincidence. People have the same names all the time but it might get confusing. -shrug- haven’t decided yet)
