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?

Ladelia and Jaina 👀 (headcanons game)

I had this whole thing typed out and my phone decided to be rude as hell and just exit it ugh lmao

So, there’s been this little fic idea/scenario I’ve been playing with for a while for them. It takes place during Wrath of the Lich King.

I’ll try to summarize it. Obviously Jaina is all heartbroken over Arthas/The Lich King and Ladelia is determined to be there for her okay.

They know each other already but this is where their friendship really blossoms.

Everyone’s always planning and talking strategy but no one ever seems to ask Jaina if she’s..you know, okay.

And Jaina, Jaina who is still so kind-hearted and soft at this point in time (she only ever wanted to study.. </3) despite the shitty situation

She’s lways happy to talk to another mage, especially one who’s lived as long as Ladelia has. So, sometimes they just..talk. Eat mana buns. Mage stuff.

Sometimes they talk about Arthas, sometimes they talk about everything but Arthas.

Sometimes it’s in Dalaran but sometimes while out in the field, Ladelia asks her to take a walk with her. (If only to give her a moment to breathe and process the shit that’s happening.)

Ladelia is smitten but Jaina is of course hung up on Arthas. It might sting a little a lot but she’d rather be her friend than nothing at all. (It’s worth the pain)

So she’s accepted this.

Honestly she just wants to see Jaina smile and laugh. She loves going out of her way to get that reaction from her, (she’s rather good at it) even if only for a second before reality sinks back in. (Murdrous ex boyfriend raising the dead lmao)

And one night she’s on her usual mission of, make Jaina smile, and she spots a flower of some sort of flower (Something like one of the herbs from WOTLK maybe? Goldclover, Tiger Lily, Talandra’s Rose, maybe?) and damn it she’s going to get it for her .

Ladelia who is brilliant in many ways..doesn’t always have the best common sense. So, she thinks nothing of walking across this frozen pond (don’t worry it doesn’t break)

It’s ice. She promptly slips and falls on her ass

And Jaina, sweet thing she is, goes to help without thinking and promptly slips too.

And now they’re both fucking tumbling, slipping and laughing as they try to get their damn balance back. (It’s not working)

Falling over one another (Ladelia is blushing but thank elune it’s cold so the redness in her cheeks looks normal eh?

But Jaina is still laughing as they both slip and slide over the ice. (“Did you know there’s kind of a sport where people use specially designed..well, shoes of a sort, to skate across the ice”)

And Ladelia is listening, she always is, but her gay little heart is going to burst because..

Jaina’s fade is flushed from the cold and from laughing so hard. She’s still giggling every once in a while as she tries to get up. Her hair is all over the place. When she laughs really hard she’ll do this little snort laugh that she always tries to stop but it’s fucking cute.

She’s never looked more beautiful to Ladelia.

Then they’re just goofing like no, they don’t have skates but they’re still kinda sliding on it or trying too. Jaina is still talking about “Ice Skating” which sounds interesting, Ladelia has never heard of it before.

People do tricks and stuff apparently. Wait..

Ladelia takes her hands in hers (Jaina’s hands seem so small compared to hers but they feel so right in her hands 🧡) and is convinced she’s about to pull off something smooth as fuck.

“let me try something-“

She’s gonna do that spinny trick she was talking about. Surely it can’t be too hard- who needs ice skates.

“Don’t you dare let go of me.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it, Lady Jaina.”

And maybe they succeed a little but promptly fall on their asses again, dizzy and clumsy because it’s ice and they just have normal shoes on.

(elves are creatures of grace and mystery my ass)

When they finally decide to head back, Ladelia is like wait, because damn it she forgot this flower. This time she thankfully thinks to use the blink spell over the ice this time.

She plucks up the flower, brings it back and and tucks it behind her ear in her hair. It looks pretty. (Not as pretty as the woman she just gave it too, but it’ll due ;) )

And it’s kind of a romantic gesture but Jaina doesn’t think anything of it (oblivious much, Jaina? Lmao) just gals being pals right? So, why is she kind of blushing now? Huh that’s weird..

But when they get back to wherever, Jaina gives her hand a little squeeze and thanks her, softly and genuinely. She needed that with everything that’s going on.

She’s a good friend. :)

And Ladelia is just watching her leave all smitten.

(Ahem this is the song that inspired this. It’s very cute!

[sigurdjarlson]

Started getting emotional thinking about Diily visiting the orphanage in Stormwind when she’s in town

It started after one of those children’s holidays one year and became a thing where she visits once in a while and tells them about whatever adventures she’s been having.

And Brightheart and Wildheart, big babies that they are, patiently let the kids pet them and tumble all over them her, purring softly.

(The lady who runs the orphanage was understandably more than a bit nervous about this at first but now is cool with it after Diily demonstrated they are harmless when not in battle)

Brightheart already has lots of experience with kids tumbling all over her, accidentally pulling on her fur and tail, just generally being kids…she experienced all that with the three Wintermoon girls growing up so she doesn’t even blink.

She’s just like “oh little small eared children hello” (after Teldrassil suddenly there are more than a few night elf children there too though..)

And frankly Diily does it because she knows what it’s like to be an orphan and these kids don’t..don’t really have anyone?

Mother mode activated

(It’s healing for her in a lot of ways)

But Ladelia is absolutely annoyed when she’s not explicitly invited (Diily doesn’t really think to do so because it’s become her thing she does on her spare time) and invites herself along

She’s a mage. She is literally a walking carnival of tricks and fun. She can make treats! (Not even just mana ones! She’s a great cook!!) She can do all kinds of cool..magic stuff.

And she’s goofy and fun and Diily’s heart is so warm watching her entertain them. Why she didn’t think to have her tag along she doesn’t know. (Maybe a part of her was being defensive of her own healing wounds)

Alaluria…avoids it at first despite being asked to come because..look at her. She isn’t exactly excited at the prospect of terrifying little kids with the whole demonic appearance thing (because regardless of how much she would deny it, it hurts to be seen as a monster)

And frankly she’s not naturally good with kids like the other two are. She’s not bad with them. As prickly as she can be she’d never be cruel to a child. Just a little awkward like she isn’t sure what to do with them lmao.

But you know, kids are always more accepting than you’d think. They’ve seen all kinds of people growing up in Stormwind (demon hunters included)

She ends up being good with them in her own way.

(She doesn’t want to ever have kids of her own and she won’t. She’s perfectly satisfied with being the Cool Aunt to the kids Diily and Ladelia may have in the future)

They’re so interested in her wings and she can’t help but find it endearing. “That’s so cool!” Yes, she can fly..watch this. Haha!!

And okay maybe demonstrating some of her powers at their request was a bit much, Miss Orphanage Lady but they asked.. ( and they thought the eye beam was so cool!!!)

And if she feels a less and less like a monster after these visits..well she keeps it to herself <3

I just 🥺 it would be so good and healing for all three of them and the kids too.

And naturally they’re all good at their respective professions (Skinning/Leather Working, Enchanting/Tailoring, Mining/Jewelcrafting) so they often bring stuff for them.

Little gifts, toys, clothes, etc. (Thinking about the Darkmoon Fair quest where you make toy prizes)

Alaluria is just like hey look at this gem I found the other day and it’s expensive and rare but one of the kids is fawning over it so she really doesn’t give a damn about it’s worth. Take it. Keep it or pawn it for some gold to spend at the market, she doesn’t mind either way.

Ladelia is..not allowed to enchant their shoes to make them run extremely fast anymore

But pieces of clothing that are enchanted to keep you extra warm, or other normal things? Definitely.

She does create light up magic shoes tho and that’s really fucking cool to the kids. (Dkdkdkdkf)

And now there are more kitties to cuddle. Well, Shadowclaw is a little intimidating at first, being a felsaber but like with Alaluria, the kids don’t seem particularly fazed.

Shadow just lays there patiently and she isn’t as pleasant to pet as her siblings and mother. She no longer has fur, she’s bone and scaly skin, but they seem to like her anyway.

Morningflower is an angel, very playful like Ladelia she’s always tumbling around with them, (always gentle, claws always sheathed, she’s aware of her size in comparison)

(they are all very well behaved sabers thank you very much)

And Alaluria has a knack for getting the quiet ones, the troublesome ones who are known for their acting out and temper tantrums and getting them to open up. And hey kid..I get it, you’re angry and you know what? that’s alright but..let’s find a better way to let it out?

(Although not through demon killing like her..like actual healthy coping mechanisms..she may have had to ask around to figure out what those would be first actually oops)

Maybe, it’s the survivalist/huntress in Diily but she’s immediately like..these children need basic survival skills ASAP. She somehow manages to make teaching basic first aid fun though. (With Ladelia’s help)

[sigurdjarlson]

Can’t remember where I saved these from but yassss

[sigurdjarlson]

Changed my girls up a little bit~ Did do away with the night warrior look for now but I did love it…

[sigurdjarlson]

Have some random shots of my other girls too ;) 

[sigurdjarlson]

Heartbreaking thought of the night - Diily and her sisters will most likely see Brightheart pass in their lifetimes and it hurts

She’s far older than they are, she grew up alongside their mother.

And she’s still spry as ever right now but eventually her age will catch up with her. Her muzzle is a little grey currently but she’s still got a lot of years left in her.

But Diily will know when it’s time. She’ll know it’s coming when Brightheart struggles to get up to greet them, when she can’t walk with them or hunt for them (she hasn’t been able to ride her for a very long time now at this point) And she sleeps more often than anything now and Diily just knows.

But when Brightheart passes it’s with all her children (both elves and saber) curled around her. She’s lived a good life. She’s fulfilled her duty. She protected, cared for and loved them for so long but they’ll be okay now without her. She knows that. She did good. She dies happy and loved and is finally reunited with Laeona. (And now alongside their parents she’ll wait for the day she can be reunited with them once again)

But oh god my girls will be devastated when she dies. (Diily will take it the hardest but they’re all be so fucking heartbroken. Ouch ouch ouch)

She’ll be the first to greet them when they too pass. Because god she’s missed her children so very much and now she can run and hunt with them again, free from any pain or limitations.

[sigurdjarlson]

On the subject of the Wintermoon girls and bugs... Ladelia slorping down a worm like it's no big deal in front of Jaina. Then sobbing to Diily an hour later. "Why didn't you tell me normal people don't do that? Now she'll think I'm gross!"

Diily thinking back to the all the bugs she ate in front of Khadgar: ...humans don’t do that!?!?

[sigurdjarlson]

🍓 Ladelia

While tailoring, enchanting and cooking are the professions she excels at she loves arts and craft-y stuff of any kind. She’d love Pintrest and Etsy and stuff like that. :’)

How have I not made a bad joke about my Wintermoon girls and “winter is coming” yet smh. Slackin’..

[sigurdjarlson]

Ladelia~

[sigurdjarlson]

You know, Diily remembers the days Alaluria and Ladelia were born vividly.

With Alaluria she was scared to touch her since she was so small (and Diily was quite young herself) and she wasn’t quite sure of this little thing..until Alaluria grabbed her finger and just held onto it, all big golden eyes and innocence.

And she remembers her mother telling her that this was her baby sister and she had to be there for her always. Because no matter what happened they would always have each other.

And Diily remembers feeling the strongest urge to protect the tiny helpless life in her mother’s arms.

She’s always taken her duty as Big Sister very seriously.

It was the same with Ladelia except she was less unsure and frightened. She was like gimme my baby sister, mama lmao. Poor Allueneth barely got to hold his new daughter that day between Laeona and Diily.

Alaluria (toddlerish age) didn’t respond as well at first. Because Ladelia was taking up everyone’s attention! Including her big sister’s and there was that typical child-like fear she would replace her but Laeona caught on and sat them down to talk about it one day so she could be assured she was still loved.

And she was still a little wary of the new addition to their family but Ladelia was pretty cute..and once Diily set her in Alaluria’s arms and little baby Delia smiled and giggled at her (and later fell asleep) Alaluria was sold.

Having a baby sister might not be so bad after all.

Diily carried both of them around everywhere as babies. They’d just hang on her like a koala until they were too big to do it anymore.

If they weren’t on Diily or their parents they were on poor Brightheart who would accept the accidental fur pulling with grace.

Alaluria’s first word was “Diily.” To Diily’s absolute delight.

Ladelia’s was “Dada.” (Diily’s was “Mama.”)

And Diily remembers this all surprisingly vividly and cherishes those memories. (Though they haunted her during Alaluria’s absence)

Listen to Light by Sleeping at Last and that is Diily with her baby sisters okay. Like every single lyric fits so perfectly and it warms my goddamn heart.

[sigurdjarlson]

this is just her normal reaction to spiders tbh
