Mywin: the perfect long distance friend. you don’t talk to for a while because both your lives are hectic, but when you do you can talk for hours. you won’t see them for a month or two, and when you finally meet up for a coffee date you’ll hang out until you realise it’s getting dark.

Aleeia: the ride or die friend. has your back no matter what. she’ll tell you the honest truth even if it hurts. dating a toxic person? she’ll force you to dump them. keep going on about getting fit but not doing anything? she’ll drag you out for a run. getting bullied by co workers? she’ll confront them. she has your best interests at heart and will be there when you have to make tough decisions.

Màoxiǎn: the chill friend. she doesn’t mind where you want to go or what you want to do, she’s just happy to hang out and let you call the shots. you pick the food, entertainment or company - she’ll be there.

Mywin: Find the balance in your disagreement. Discover where you went wrong, communicate where you think they went wrong. It helps prevent future conflict.

Aleeia: Kill them.

Màoxian: Take time apart from each other and let the dust settle. Don’t let anger and bitterness hold you back from making amends.

Mywin: Although they seem to be polar opposites, she’d be drawn to Illidan’s passion for preserving Azeroth, though I’m sure she’d have a lot to say about his methods! She tries to see the good in everyone and I think she’d see the love Illidan has for protecting his people. And well, those abs, damn. As for her, perhaps he’d find her mastery of Druidism endearing since he never had the knack for the art as his brother did. She has the gentle caring nature Tyrande exhibits and there are parts of her in Mywin that he’d find appealing. And that was that one brief “interaction” they had together, by My doesn’t like talking about it, makes her blush.

Aleeia: courting? there is evil afoot. there is no time for this nonsense when our enemies’ blood must be spilled. what a ridiculous notion... Maraad. 10/10 Maraad. He’s strong and has killed many orcs.

Màoxiǎn: Aysa Cloudsinger is simply adorable. She’s an accomplished monk and has a patient temperament that Mào would find that comforting in a partner. I think Asya would enjoy training with her very much and passing on the wisdom she has learnt to someone she’s with.

Mywin: When her parents were alive, Mywin would wake before dawn and force her parents up to open the presents. They’d enjoy a warm tea and breakfast while their youngling unwrapped the presents before heading out to the frozen lake to skate. Until Teldrassil fell, Mywin spent her Christmas morning with the Sisters of Elune, her adoptive aunts. They’d pray, swap presents and eat with the rest of the night elves. Then, she would fly to Hyjal to be by her parents’ graves until sundown. Now she spends it with Aleeia.

Aleeia: Aleeia takes part enthusiastically. A hard working draenei, she still attends to her duties but ensures the tree is up early which she decorates with her younger sister Imeyah. On the day, she will do her usual sword practice at dawn but return earlier to eat with Imeyah.

Teggie: Teggie’s younger brother Brann is still an infant, not quite ready to be up so early. She enjoys a good lie in before opening their gifts and the big Ironforge feast. Her family then take an after dinner walk in the snow.

Happy Father’s Day

Mywin: Her An’da is Tavanar! She took on his druidic profession after her parents died, despite the hope of her mother that she may become sentinel like herself, or even a Warden. She remembers looking after the flowers in their garden with him and building little dens in the woods where she would serve him the best pretend nettle tea there was. He bought Mywin her first ever saber kitten when she was little and when she was upset she was too small to ride, he would sit on her his shoulders and parade her around as a make-do mount.

Aleeia: Krol’sha was a Vindicator, a mighty protector of Argus before it fell. Tall and strong, he was soft on the inside, particularly towards his two daughters. He taught them to spar with wooden sticks as children, which Aleeia would go on to exchange for a sword. A lesson he passed on was the importance of believing in the Light and insisted upon nightly family prayer. This would stick with the younger, Imeyah, as Aleeia was too impatient to wait for power and turned herself into a weapon instead.

Màoxiǎn: Disung was a third generation monk in his own family and met Màoxiǎn’s mother in training. Disung was a dedicated and loving father - even with having to balance 8 cubs starting from the age of 26! He enjoys sitting with his children and teaching them old proverbs - even trying to cheekily take credit for some of them! She visits both her parents often, but if on a Sunday she always knows the find her father at the tavern having his weekly mug of ale and chatting to dear old friends of his.

Mywin: Well, I may have let it slip but her fling with Illidan is something she hasn’t told *anyone* apart from Dommus and Aleeia. She’s very embarrassed about being intimate with a stranger, and with Illidan whom is disgraced as a traitor of her people. She still can’t help but think of him in a bitter-sweet way.

Aleeia: She has given an orc mercy. This is *huge* for Aleeia. She came across an orc child and was heavily conflicted. Her hatred of orcs is immense; in her eyes they ruined her people’s one restbite from the Legion’s pursuit and massacred her people without a cause. She despises them all and believes them all to be murderous monsters. But when she saw this youngling without a weapon and trembling in fear, she put her sword away. It is dishonourable to kill one without them baring arms, let alone a child, and she knew she couldn’t live with the knowledge she killed an innocent. However, she is plagued by the thought that one day one of her people may fall to the weapon of that orc.

Màoxiǎn: Her deepest secret is that she fears that she will bring dishonour or failure to her family name. She has a great amount of anxiety about this and constantly worries that her best will never be good enough to make her Brewmaster mother and Windwalker father proud.

Mywin: Nyctophobia, fear of the dark

Aleeia: Thanatophobia, fear of a loved one dying (specifically her younger sister Imeyah)

Màoxiǎn: Aquaphobia, fear of levels of water not under a person’s control

Mywin: at peace with the rest of her people: happy and smiling, taking care of all the animals and healing the earth.

Aleeia: in a battlefield covered in the blood of a thousand orcs

Maoxian: with a special someone, maybe even starting a family. a big family - she wants lots of cubs!
