tatiana wolfe had anything but a normal upbringing. ten years younger than her older brother, heathcliff, to say that she was a surprise would be an understatement (to be fair, heathcliff had also been a surprise, given elizabeth had only been nineteen and her relationship with james was anything but serious); a surprise that proved a greater strain on an already crumbling marriage. elizabeth was a poet and aspiring screenwriter, puttering away at menial barista jobs trying to make it big - james, on the other hand, was twelve years older and had never outgrown his hard partying phase, slowly paying away their bills with a drug dealing gig. james and elizabeth were not bad people, per say, but they certainly weren't the type destined to be parents; the stronger parental figure was heathcliff, who at just ten years old, wound up stepping up and taking the most responsibility for his younger sister. he was the one tatiana went to when she scraped a knee, or had a bad dream, and that trend continued into their older years. he was the one who helped her with her homework, who made sure she had a decent lunch as she skipped off to school.
it came as no shock to either child when elizabeth and james finally called it quits when tatiana was six years old - it had been a long time coming, and the bright side was the amicability. they just simply didn't work as a couple, and that had always been obvious to everyone they knew. they tried co-parenting as best they could for awhile, but elizabeth ultimately made the move to los angeles after an agent in hollywood took notice of an indie film script she'd written, content to leave the children behind with james. which would have been great, had his drug problem not worsened to the point that he was essentially fully out of their lives only a few years later, leaving heathcliff to well and truly be the only one to care for his sister.
tatiana was an easy child, however. always willing to lend a hand, outgoing and personable, and sharp as a tack, she wasn't exactly difficult to raise. she excelled in school, particularly in anything pertaining to the sciences, which was her true passion. environmental, geology, zoology - anything she could get her hands on pertaining to the world around her, she positively ate up. by the time college rolled around, she had offers from multiple universities; ultimately, she settled on columbia, given both the close proximity to where she lived and the fact that were one of few that was offering her a full ride (which was of the utmost importance, given she and heathcliff were barely scraping by as it were). she graduated with a dual bachelor's in astronomy and environmental science in 2003, ging on to pursue her master's and her phd at the same university.
after she graduated with her phd, heathcliff and tatiana settled on moving to hawaii the old fashioned way - he let her close her eyes, spin a globe, and wherever her finger landed was where they would go. technically, her finger had landed in the middle of the ocean, but it was close enough. heathcliff had worked his way up in a computer tech company at that point, both able to afford a sizeable house for them and the freedom to start his own tech startup in maui. tatiana settled in quickly, able to continue her research on extrasolar and planetary moons from the island - who wouldn't enjoy being able to sit on the beach behind their home and gaze up at the stars for a living?

Tyrande Whisperwind (pronounced Teer-An-Dah) is the most prominent night elf leader, as the chosen high priestess of the goddess Elune, the former general of the night elf sentinels, and the current head of the Sisterhood of Elune. Together with her lifelong mate, the Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, she has represented the highest leadership of the night elves since the fall of Queen Azshara and the Highborne caste ten thousand years ago. In World of Warcraft, she is found inside the Temple of the Moon within the Kaldorei's capital city of Darnassus.
Tyrande Whisperwind grew up together with the two male night elf twins, Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage, in the kaldorei city of Suramar. The three were inseparable, playing in the woods, racing, learning to hunt. Tyrande consistently bested the brothers. As they grew into adulthood together they encouraged each other to find their respective callings.
Tyrande was to find peace in the Temple of Elune in Suramar, and became a novice priestess in the order of the Sisters of Elune. Malfurion, meanwhile, was taken under the wing of the demigod Cenarius, but Illidan was yet to find his own destiny, and searched for it in the arts of the arcane. Illidan was enamoured by the very thought of Tyrande, but his brother never even noticed this "contest" of Illidan's over Tyrande's heart.
