#I guess I have alleria feels in general tbh

[warwaged-archive]

redeeming-sun said: Did Alleria ever read any of his [Turalyon’s] letters? What did they say? Are you ever going to stop hurting me?

She never read them.

When the first letter arrived, Alleria didn’t know whether she was furious at his persistence, sad for breaking his heart, or glad that he cared enough to reach out to her again even after all her attempts to push him away. She settles for anger, of course; it’s the default emotion by then, and Arator has yet to be born and dissuade some of it. Between Sylvanas’ intrigued glances and Vereesa’s curious inquiries, Alleria chose to toss it into the fire before ever opening it.

The second one took a while to arrive. He expected a reply, of course, but she never sent one; and it was only after giving up on it ever arriving that Turalyon wrote again (maybe the letter had been lost, maybe she had never received it at all; maybe she was still purposefully avoiding him, but I doubt he wanted to believe this to be the reason for it). By then, I expect she’d be well into her pregnancy, and when it arrives she feels guilty for the first time — guilty of never reading the first letter, guilty of never writing to let him know of the baby if nothing else. This letter she keeps in her hands for so long the paper starts bearing the light marks of fingertips long pressed against it.

She never opens it, though, can never bring herself to. He is human, and their lives are short, and their loves shorter; surely he will recover from his heartbreak soon enough. What use would be writing him? All it would do would be give him hopes for things she had no intention to go through with. Alleria would be fine with her baby in Quel’thalas, and he would be fine in his human kingdom, perhaps even have a family of his own. She didn’t want him near. There was no future for them anyways.

But this letter she never manages to destroy.

The ones that follow cause mixed reactions. Sometimes the sight of them makes her enraged (why won’t he give up? isn’t it clear she has no intention to write back?), sometimes they hurt her in a way she doesn’t understand (and ignores and buries because there is no room in her for hurt anymore, and she refuses to even acknowledge it at all). Sometimes the guilt comes back; one of them arrives when she has Arator in her arms, and his tiny hands tried to reach for the words a father he would not meet wrote to a mother who refused them. Sometimes she looks at them, stashed away amidst her personal things, secret even though it was no secret she had received them, never opened and never to be — and sometimes she would want to, almost do it before giving up, almost throwing them away before returning them to the same place and leaving them there, until rediscovering them by chance after forgetting they were there at all, or  uncovering them to add a new one to the pile.

They never stop coming, but she stops receiving them. It is hatred that overwhelms her then, hatred for the world, for her family’s murderers, for herself. For him, too, unearned as it is. From herself most of all, and that he cares for her when she absolutely does not deserve it only further pushes her away. And hatred drives her further away from home and last of things she loves, last of people she loves, and there is no place in her life anymore for letters, even those she will never open.

She regrets not reading them once they are together again, conversations done and feelings bared and forgiveness received. She thinks she might, once they go back home, even if he says he could tell her about each letter he had ever written her. That will never come to be, of course; she would never get the chance, returning to a home long destroyed and a land who shuns her.

They are not love letters; not all of them, at least. They are as varied as her reactions to them, some offers of friendship and comfort and sympathy for the pain he knew her to be in, some a baring of his own feelings, some yet nothing more than attempt at conversation, trivial matters, something that reminded him of her like the feather he sent alongside the letter (she so enjoyed wearing them), or the sunflowers growing near the still-in-construction cathedral. He doesn’t know if she reads them, of course, having only silence meet him time and again; but he hopes she does, writes even if she doesn’t. Even as years pass, she is never far from his thoughts, always inspiring yet another letter to be written; yet another letter to be left unopened.

EXCUSE YOU YOU BREAK MY HEART ALL THE TIME THEN ASK WHEN I WILL STOP? rude

Headcanons about Windrunner parents.

HEADCANON QUESTIONS // still accepting!

Lireesa is the more stern parent. 

She is absolutely the kind of mother who’d make her kids’ lives twice harder in the Farstriders just because they’re her kids – so instead of giving them any sort of privilege, she makes sure they don’t get a break ever.

Because she was the Ranger-General, she was usually busy; she always did try to make time for her family, but I think this may have ended up with things like ‘come, we’re going on a mission’ ‘you know this doesn’t count as family time right’

Verath is the name of their dad.

Lireesa taught Alleria how to shoot, but Alleria liked practicing with her dad more — with her mother, it was actual rigorous training, while with her father it was more just fun. 

Lireesa probably had a hand in teaching all of them to shoot tbh, but after Alleria, siblings would always be involved too like – Alleria helped Sylvanas, the two of them helped Vereesa, and so on.

They were also probably considerably baby when learning to shoot so. Tiny Windrunners with bows. Someone probably says it’s a bad idea bc they’re still small, to which Verath is like ‘nah it’s fine’ and Lireesa is ‘I’m sorry are you trying to tell ME how to raise MY children who I gave birth to’

She was rather conservative and in favor of following tradition, and never expected it would be broken; so when Alleria refuses the mantle of Ranger-General when she offers to step down, it was, uh, not fun times in Windrunner Spire. 

I feel like she’d get along better with Sylvanas and Vereesa; Sylvanas because I see them as being more similar in temperament/personality, and Vereesa because Vereesa was the youngest, and the baby of the family for a long time until Lirath was born. That’s not to say she had favorites (if she did, I think she’d never have shown it and each person would probably guess someone different, so she was good at acting like she had no favorites).

In looks, Alleria is the one that looks more like her mom. They’re not incredibly alike, but there is enough resemblance someone who met Lireesa would look at Alleria and be able to tell it’s her daughter. Lirath, considering he’s said to look like Alleria, looks like their mom too. Sylvanas and Vereesa look more like their dad.

Verath was also a ranger, and also a noble, although from a family of minor importance (his last name was Sunbringer, and he set it aside in favor of Windrunner, considering the Windrunners are one of the families of most prestige in Quel’thalas and thus outranked his).

Lireesa was big on order and following rules and doing what was morally right, and only accepted dating Verath when his Farstrider rank was equivalent to hers and she was no longer his superior. They ended up marrying, but eventually she became Ranger-General, so she came to outrank him again. The same rule applied to their children applies to him: she’s much more severe and demanding of him in work than she usually is towards the other Farstriders.

Verath would step in to prevent bad fights when Lireesa and Alleria clashed. Probably worked on trying to make both of them more willing to compromise.

Probably? didn’t teach? their children? it’s okay to feel things and demonstrate feelings and talk about them. and deal with the bad feelings. Considering how their children turned out aksdjnakdf

Alleria, Sylvanas and Vereesa are close in age because Lireesa and Verath decided it was better like that; easier to take time to take care of their children one time than do it three very separate times. It probably also means they had to deal with teen Alleria, preteen Sylvanas and child Vereesa all at once and I pity them.

Lirath came much later because he wasn’t planned aksdjnfkj

Both Verath and Lireesa came from big families and had siblings, who were very important to them, and considered it to be one of the most important bonds one could have, which was why they wanted multiple children. They definitely tried to teach that to all of their children from a young age, and that no matter what they had to be there for each other because they were siblings and siblings are supposed to love and take care of each other always.

If Lireesa had been alive to see all three of her daughters fall in love with humans that would have been wild probably

# truefacts about asyta that i forget nobody knows because i never write them down

• astya is short for astyana

• she has two sisters: jinari and lirrin

• she's a stereotypical ignored middle child with a chip on her shoulder

• she comes from a well-off noble merchant house

• nobody talks about crazy cousin larrinor who ate a demon in an attempt to become a demon hunter but instead just permanently upset his digestive system

• astya survived the fall of quel'thalas, which occurred during her elf-teenage years

• she was considered the "delicate" sister and was always kept away from weaponry

• meanwhile jinari became a blood knight and lirrin had kind of a scary talent with knives

• sometime between the fall of quel'thelas and the early events of BC, astya joined the priesthood

• a lot of her time was then spent training in the use of the Light and joining in efforts to attempt to cleanse eversong woods and the ghostlands of the scourge's corruption

• while she's never renounced the blood elf moniker, she's retained the blue eyes of the quel'dorei

• she adamantly refused to fuck around with demonic energies to assuage her magical pains, and turned to the Light instead

• joining the Shattered Sun Offensive was the first time she ever defied her family's wishes and expectations for her

• fighting alongside the draenai, a mage named kaneka became her best friend, and ultimately gave her life to save astya during the battle for the sunwell

• astya was canonically present for both magister's terrace and the sunwell raid

• after kael'thas' downfall, astya spent the next several decades chasing down remnants of the legion in outland with other former SSO members

• if there's anyone she hates more than anything, it's kael'thas

• she was in outland during the events of wrath of the lich king and cataclysm and missed all related shenanigans

• she reemerged back into azeroth shortly before the events of legion

• and discovered her family had thought her dead for the better part of two decades

• she also learned that her sister jinari had fallen in the war against the scourge and was raised as a death knight

• but it's super hard to feel sorry for her because it turns out jinari was having an affair with astya's betrothed (since birth) for probably 70 years now

• it's not very priestly, but astya hangs on to her betrothal pendant completely out of spite, since they cant get married without it

• anyway she's since become a lot closer with baby sister lirrin

• who somehow became the kingpin of an alchemical crime empire based out of undercity (which has since "dissolved" since the battle for lordaeron in bfa)

• also lirrin was the only one to come looking for her body when everybody thought she'd died (that sort of thing generates a lot of brownie points and sisterly affection in astya's book)

• astya canonically wields light's wrath because whatever i do what i want

• she was present for most of the events of legion, though she fought as a neutral party rather than part of the horde or alliance

• she's never considered herself a member of the horde, regardless of silvermoon's official stance on the matter

• post-legion her alliance sympathies became more apparent, and at the beginning of bfa offered her services and loyalties to the alliance

• at which point she was attached to alleria windrunner's expedition to locate a group of exiled blood elves studying void magics

• becoming ren'dorei was in no way intentional on her part; she just happened to be standing too close during "the box incident" and absorbed a massive amount of void energies

• which is super awkward when you're a priest sworn and dedicated to the Light

• luckily, as a discipline priest she has some experience wielding both Light and Shadow

• and though it's painful and requires an enormous amount of willpower, she still works toward regaining her ability to wield the Light as she once did

• tbh the only reason she wasn't a paladin was because she doesn't have the physical strength or endurance to wear plate

• dont ask me how old she is at this point because i dont know lmao

• like the elf equivalent of mid twenties to mid thirties i guess

• she's a good healer but her real strength lies in smiting foes with holy fire

• she's followed around by the ghost of one of her cats that died in the scourge invasion, and it "sleeps" curled up next to her neck

• dalaran and netherlight temple feel more like home to her than eversong woods ever did

• she used to make pilgrimmages back to the isle of quel'danas to honor her fallen comrades, but hasn't been back since her void infusion, knowing it would make her unwelcome even with her history with the SSO

#this kind of feels like a timeline but whatever #i somehow feel like ive flooded people with this info before #even though i dont think ive written down 90% of it #oh well #about astya

lireesa is the more stern parent. 

because she was the ranger-general, she was usually busy; she always did try to make time for her family, but I think this may have ended up with things like ‘come, we’re going on a mission’ ‘you know this doesn’t count as family time right’

lireesa taught alleria how to shoot

lireesa probably had a hand in teaching all of them to shoot tbh, but after alleria, siblings would always be involved too like – alleria helped sylvanas, the two of them helped vereesa, and lirath was learning more with his sisters than with his mom.

they were also probably considerably baby when learning to shoot so. tiny windrunners with bows. Someone probably says it’s a bad idea bc they’re still small, to which lireesa is probably like ‘I’m sorry are you trying to tell ME how to raise MY children who I gave birth to’

she was rather conservative and in favor of following tradition, and never expected it would be broken; so when alleria refuses the mantle of ranger-general when she offers to step down, it was, uh, not fun times in windrunner spire

I feel like lireesa would have gotten along better with sylvanas and vereesa; sylvanas because I see them as being more similar in temperament/personality, and vereesa because vereesa was the youngest, and the baby of the family for a long time until lirath was born. that’s not to say she had favorites (if she did, I think she’d never have shown it and each person would probably guess someone different, bc she was good at acting like she had no favorites).

in regard to looks, alleria is the one that looks more like her mom. they’re not incredibly alike, but there is enough resemblance someone who met lireesa would look at alleria and be able to tell she’s her daughter. lirath, considering he’s said to look like alleria, probably looks a lot like their mom too. 

their father’s name was helios, and he was a warrior rather than a ranger

he was also a noble, although from a family of minor importance (his last name was dawnstriker, and he set it aside in favor of windrunner when marrying lireesa; part of it was because the windrunners are one of the families of most prestige in quel’thalas, part was because he just wanted to take her last name instead of it being the other way around).

helios would step in to prevent bad fights when lireesa and alleria clashed. probably worked on trying to make both of them more willing to compromise, and tried to get them to make amends when they fought

they? probably? didn’t teach? their children? it’s okay to feel things and demonstrate feelings and talk about them. or how to deal with the bad feelings, specially grief and anger. considering how their children turned out aksdjnakdf

alleria, sylvanas and vereesa are close in age because lireesa and helios decided it was better like that; easier to take time to take care of their children one time than do it three very separate times. it probably also means they had to deal with teen alleria, preteen sylvanas and child vereesa all at once and I pity them.

lirath came much later because he was an opsie baby aksdjnfkj

lireesa always tried very hard to separate family from her job, so she wasn’t partial to any of her children when they became rangers. in fact, she was even more strict when it came to them than she’d be towards the other farstriders.

alleria most of all was subject to this, because of her status as next in line to become ranger-general, but sylvanas also dealt with more of that strictness than vereesa

alleria and lireesa probably clashed a lot due to that — because lireesa would be even more strict with her, but alleria does not submit to orders she doesn’t agree with, not even those of her mother and ranger-general, to which lireesa wouldn’t take well at all in turn.

they did love each other, but lireesa intended to raise her and prepare her to be a great ranger-general one day and alleria had no desire to be ranger-general at all. they had that good old conflict regarding tradition too, because lireesa was very much in favor of upholding it while alleria didn’t care to do things in a certain way just because it’s how it was done.

which is why alleria feels guilty for not having taken the mantle when her mother died — and why she wouldn’t have passed it on to anyone other than sylvanas, who is the one she feels would honor the mantle and make their mother proud in a way alleria herself never would

this on top of sylvanas already being next in line for it ofc

their conflicts aren’t always open fighting. alleria did try her best to carry the weight of her family’s name and her position but she struggled with the more diplomatic aspects of it and she certainly didn’t see herself as a good enough leader. so even though she tried (mostly, for a while), it would take a toll on her to even have to try because it is a burden she doesn’t want to carry and it makes her feel trapped

and that damages their relationship, even if it was otherwise mostly good. she ends up being much closer to her father as a result — because she wouldn’t trust to be vulnerable in front of her mother, and she’d constantly feel pressured to meet her standards, that when they wouldn’t outright clash.

with her father, there are no such concerns.

part of the reason I think she’d try to shoulder the burden of carrying on their family legacy would be to spare her siblings. she knows they will suffer it to some extent (comes with being a windrunner), but because it is so heavy on her, alleria would want to spare the other three as much as she could.

which means she takes on more than she can deal with, and tries to deal with everything alone all the time, and just buries things within herself ——- which also means when she breaks she’s a mess because she doesn’t know how to deal with anything and at the same time can’t ask for help because she has the mindset that she has to do things on her own

lirath is considerably younger than his sisters. alleria is very protective of him, and spoiled him the most she could. he’d be the one amidst his siblings capable of reading her the best in spite of being the youngest, but alleria wouldn’t trust even him with most things because if she wants to spare all of her siblings the most she can, that’s thrice true when it comes to lirath

sylvanas is the one she’d trust the most tbh. they’re closer in age and while alleria feels protective of all her siblings to some extent, this is less true when it comes to sylvanas. they are more the kind to have each other’s backs, I think — pretty much the kind of siblings that poke at each other all the time and end up turning provocation into actual fights, but also the kind that can share secrets and vulnerabilities and would fight together and die together if it came to it.

vereesa is the least close to her. they are still close (the four of them always were), but in comparison to lirath and sylvanas, vereesa isn’t as close to alleria. alleria is also very protective of her, and I’m not sure how vereesa would see that tbh

all of this ofc before lirath and lireesa die

because her siblings meant so much to her and how close they were, she’d definitely want her children to have siblings too, if she hadn’t had arator at the worst time and also with someone she didn’t want to be with lol with a partner she intends to be for life, and in a situation where it would be suitable to have a family, she’d definitely want more than one child. when she comes back to azeroth, if her relationship with turalyon wasn’t, uh, terrible, she’d probably have wanted to have more children with him

au where mama stays

SEND ME AUS AND I’LL GIVE YOU HEADCANONS!! // accepting.

THIS IS A NICE AU I LIKE THIS AU

The Second War goes as in canon, Quel’thalas is breached and Windrunner Spire attacked and family dies. Consequently, Alleria still has her one night stand with Turalyon and thus Arator is conceived asdnfkasdn

She sticks to what I headcanon her doing in normal canon: has her baby in Quel’thalas, never even tells Turalyon she was pregnant, hopes to never tell him he is a dad at all 

When it’s time to go to Draenor, she initially intends to, but talking with Verana when she asks her to deliver the necklaces ends up changing her mind. Alleria still wants vengeance, and she still has a lot of survivor’s guilt making her want to die, but Verana makes her see there are people in Quel’thalas who are still alive and who need her there. So she ends up staying for Arator and her sisters.

I think Sylvanas and Vereesa (and Verana tbh I don’t know if y’all noticed but Verana is important to me asdnfkksjadfn) end up helping her get better — with properly mourning their family, and healing and realizing it’s not her fault and that her dying wouldn’t help anyone. With support from her loved ones (and a little bit of vengeance ngl) she ends up overcoming her worst phase. It’s something that will leave her permanently marked, and Lirath specially would always be a touchy subject but she’d heal and learn to move on.

Since she stays, she goes on with her original plan to raise Arator as a single mom and not let Turalyon know (I mean, Turalyon went to Draenor so for all they know he’d have disappeared and would be considered dead like canon). Being a mother isn’t easy but she does her best and she loves her baby boy very much and anyone who disrespects him for being a half elf will deal with a very angry Alleria tbh. 

Also she would teach him ranger things and it would be very neat

I don’t think she would have kept the truth from Arator, but she’d only really explain things when he was old enough to understand. She’d tell him who his father was, in the least. I think she would avoid speaking of Turalyon in general, but with a little pushing from Arator’s part she would tell whatever little she knew of him to tell — because if she stays, the only contact she had with him was during the war and before he went to Draenor, and they weren’t exactly on good terms when he left. Alleria wouldn’t have much to tell, but she would tell Arator his dad was a good man, and one of the heroes that willingly went to Draenor to keep their world safe.

Which in turn means that come Legion Arator might knock on his door to be like hey I’m your son and Turalyon may go after her to be like how didn’t you tell me we had a son to which Alleria would shrug it off and be like doesn’t matter I didn’t mean to raise him with you.

She doesn’t fall in love with Turalyon, considering that only really happens in Draenor, but she doesn’t hate him. She regrets using his feelings for her when she didn’t feel the same. Otherwise, she’d see him as a friend, or respect him in the least, but there wouldn’t be any actual romantic feelings.

They live in Windrunner Spire and the Windrunners do not split as much as they do in canon. I guess they’d be closer to Sylvanas, with Vereesa going to Dalaran with Rhonin. Alleria has a lot of trouble staying in the Spire at first, following her family’s death, but she eventually overcomes this too. Arator probably helps a lot with that, because he has none of the painful memories — to him it would just be his home.

The downside of staying, of course, is they’re there when Arthas comes. 

In this verse, I see Sylvanas and Alleria growing even closer than they were before, because I think Sylv would be fundamental for Alleria overcoming her grief after the Second War, and Vereesa leaves soon after with Rhonin to Dalaran, so she wouldn’t have been as active a part of it. Which also means it hurts even worse when Arthas kills Sylvanas because it’s Lirath all over again.

She still hates the horde forever, and still holds the alliance in high regard. Alleria would probably do what she could to foster good relationships between the alliance and the elves, even if Anasterian pulled Quel’thalas from it after Lothar died — and would probably try to influence Sylvanas to use her influence as Ranger General on that direction.

That is, until the Fall, because when none of the Alliance members offers them any aid (Alleria would probably try to reach out to them for help herself), she’d be very bitter towards them all, her respect for the Alliance dies with the Sunwell tbh.

She survives the Fall, and she makes certain so does Arator

this is already long sos I’ll try to talk less

She becomes Ranger General after Sylvanas dies bc she’s the last Windrunner left and this time she doesn’t refuse it because she feels guilty about Sylvanas’ fate

Alleria doesn’t turn her back to Sylvanas at all. Everyone else may be suspicious, but the moment Sylv has her free will back. The moment Alleria saw it was her sister again she’d stick with her no matter what. 

She’s much more closed off after the Fall because it’s really hard for her not to fall back to the same state she was in following the Second War. The fight for survival (and her concern with Arator’s survival) is what she holds on to not to let herself slip.

She’d have become sin’dorei instead of remaining quel’dorei. Alleria is very much in favor of her people doing what they need to survive, no matter what.

She’d be very focused on getting revenge on Arthas. He’d be above even orcs in her hate list

She hates orcs even after the belfs enter the Horde. She hates all of them, will always hate them, but she understands the sin’dorei needed help and the Alliance wouldn’t give it to them

Vereesa taking part in the purge of Dalaran would make Alleria very resentful towards her tbh

No void business considering she never leaves

okay I’ll stop now but I could go on lol

* getting  to  know  the  mun :

name :   melissa nickname :  mel faceclaim : that depends but when I use ooc icons they're usually adora from she-ra and the princesses of power pronouns :  she/her  height :   165cm birthday :   november 12 aesthetic :  grey days, warm fluffy blankets, black cats, piles of books, videogames, changing hair color as often as possible, biting nails, the scent of rain (idk I just made a list of things I like lol) last  song  you  listened  to : The Man - Taylor Swift favorite  muse (s)  you’ve  written : Myrcella tbh but Tyrande is v close... Actually I can't pick bc Alleria and Ashara too I love all of my children I’m just more attached to Myrcella probably

* getting  to  know  the  account :

what  inspired  you  to  take  on  this  muse :   (I'll do this for Myrcella) so I read the asoiaf books and fell in love with her immediately. few times have I ever felt so strongly that I really wanted to write a muse, still, I hesitated about making a blog for her because I was very afraid of jumping into a new fandom (and one that seemed very different from the ones I had been in at that point) so I waited for a while but she was persistent lol. so I gave up and made a blog eventually and here we are now. it literally just happened like that: I read the books and Myrcella stuck with me and never left :v

what  are  your  favorite  aspects  of  your  current  muse :  she's admittedly a very minor character and open to different interpretations (which is part of why I love writing her! because there's not much canon to bind me lol). nevertheless, I think the little we see of her makes it clear Myrcella is very strong, stronger than most people think, and immensely clever. she's more than just good. she's very observant, she's charming and capable of using it in her favor, and of course, she's brave and outspoken too and I don’t know I love everything about her, even the tragedy of the suggestion she would play the game well and be a better queen than either of her brothers but that we will never truly see this being developed because she’ll die as prophecy demands aksdjfnaksjdfn

what’s  your  biggest  inspiration  when  it  comes  to  writing : the canon material mostly, but other than that I like theories and character analysis (good ones give me life and often help me get muse for her, but bad ones fuel my writing out of spite lol). more than anything, how I feel in the fandom I’m writing in influences my muse heavily (for all my muses tbh), so the people I write with play a big part where inspiration is concerned. when it comes to myrcella, you @wclfcrown, but also @wineinthewidow and @agirlofwinterfell who aren't as active atm (neither am I with asoiaf muses tbh aksnfjksdnaf) but I love always

favorite  types  of  threads :  I love suffering so angst and drama are my favorites but tbh I love fluff and cute nice stuff too and honestly I can go from 4+ paragraphs of serious threads full of feels to crack posts so uh yeah anything  

biggest  struggle  in  regards  to  your  current  muse : I'm insecure in general lol I don't think she's difficult to write but I struggle with muse sometimes because of anxiety and insecurity for the most part because it makes me feel replaceable and Not Good™ . the lack of muse because of how I feel in the fandom can make it harder too. but I can’t really think of anything specifically about Myrcella, she never required me any sort of mood or thought process to write her. I guess this would count: she comes to me very easily when I have muse but if I don’t she won’t come at all no matter how hard I try to write her.

au where alleria' family isn't killed by sylvanas still gets ranger general and willa still gets banished

UNPROMPTED BUT I’M MAKING THIS SEND ME AN AU AND I’LL GIVE YOU HEADCANONS FOR IT TBH // always accepting the love of my life wonderful amazing show stopping did I mention I love Aera very much

WELL if her family doesn’t die I’m assuming Lireesa doesn’t die? And that, idk, after the war she just decides to retire and so she does, but Alleria still refuses the position — because honestly she never had any intention to become Ranger General although for a while she suffered with the pressure of thinking she had to be. Anyways, Alleria refuses it, but with Lireesa alive, the choice is hers, and she obviously picks Sylvanas next. 

I guess Willa’s part, with speaking against it and against the Ranger General always being a Windrunner stays the same.

Alleria would be a lot more conflicted about it. She doesn’t believe in tradition for the sake of it — as I have it, she passes it on to Sylvanas both because she genuinely believes Sylvanas has what it takes and would be better suited than she would, but also because it is the choice her mother would have made and her mother, well, just died. So she’s honoring that much more than tradition alone, and I think she’d see the reasoning in Willa’s stand because although it has worked so far — what about a generation where no one wants to be a ranger? What if there is no one skilled enough to be Ranger General in their bloodline and they’re skipping better options just because of her family’s name? It is the kind of position that has a lot of skill involved, and it really shouldn’t rely on a bloodline alone, Alleria would see sense in that. 

But at the same time, speaking against her family is a complicated thing because family is everything to her (which is why she’s so devastated by what happens to them in canon). She and her mother often disagree, and their relationship would probably be very tense with Alleria refusing to become Ranger General; still, I think what would hold her back of siding with Willa would be Sylvanas. Because she trusts her sister a lot, and she thinks she would be a great Ranger General and speaking against that choice now would be standing against Sylvanas and undermining her as Ranger General, which was also probably something Sylvanas herself would be proud to become. Alleria would hold back because of her. 

Which means Willa would probably be pissed off/hurt with her stand because by not saying anything, she chose her side and she sided with Sylvanas. But that’s ofc up to you bb I’m just guessing askndjjksdnf

Alleria would go after her. Not immediately, because she wouldn’t think Willa wanted to see her again and because like I said, she stands with Sylvanas. Also at this point she wouldn’t have acknowledged her feelings before but I think Willa leaving would change that. It wouldn’t change that she believes Willa doesn’t feel the same, but it would change that she comes to acknowledge her own, and eventually come to terms with them. But it would take a while for all of that, so it would take a while for her to go looking for Willa. Not a long while tbh. I imagine maybe the couple of years between the end of the war and the Expedition to Draenor?

Considering Alleria doesn’t sleep with Turalyon to try to push away her grief with sex, I guess Arator would not exist (sorry Arator).

Also she never goes actively hunting orcs because there’s no vengeance going on. When the Alliance sends for her, she’d answer much more willingly. The downside is with no drama she’d probably not bitch about the paladins in their own cathedral and that was iconic I love her sm anyways–

Also she’d probably be happy to leave Quel’thalas because like I said, her relationship with Lireesa would be very tense (and Willa left :c)

Considering this (I hadn’t thought of this before I’m literally just writing as I go akjsdnfkasndf) she might not actually have gone after Willa. Instead, when Khadgar defines they must go to Draenor to close the portal in what will likely be a one way trip, Alleria still goes because she wants to protect her loved ones and her land, no dying wish involved. And before going she still leaves the necklaces for her sisters (maybe she leaves the one that would be hers for Lirath instead of keeping it, maybe she leaves him something else I’m not sure but he definitely gets something), and also a letter for Willa in a very nice dramatic I actually always loved you but I’m going to fight in another world and I’ll probably not come back so I guess I just needed to let you know that before I go and asks Verana to deliver it all bc Verana is the real mvp and also she’s Alleria’s best friend and Alleria wants her to stay on Azeroth so she won’t die too

If everything is the same and she ends up with Turalyon and apart from the rest of the sons of Lothar after Draenor blows up and the Army of the Light approaches them, Alleria would be even more unwilling to stay. She’d only accept it Xe’Ra really convinced her there was no other way she needed to stay to keep Azeroth safe and that would be hard because Alleria would be skeptical about being that special.

Considering she is convinced, though, I guess much of it stays the same? She goes, eventually she goes after the Void, she probably comes back to save Turalyon’s ass even if they’re not in a relationship, she ends up in Naaru jail etc etc until she comes back by the time of Legion.

wow this is long af I’ll shut up now lol
