First up, Taria!

Diplomatic, kind and loving, Princess Taria does her best for those around her.

Close with her family and friends, she’s especially close with her best friend, Prince Dhiren, and her dragon companion, Shvir.

Taria isn’t interested in romance with anyone, though she does enjoy seeing her loved ones’ romantic relationships bring them joy.

Taria, running through a portal almost last out of any resident of Stormwind because her people have gone through so much and she needs to protect them.

Taria, safe on the other side with the people she loves, thinking that everyone made it through.

Taria, looking over the crowd to see where her family was. Lothar, Adariall, Varian, Turalyon, Khadgar...

Khadgar.

Taria, panicking because Khadgar isn’t there. He didn't come through the portal. He's still on the other side, in Stormwind, with the Shadow Council.

Taria, knowing the portal will only stay up for maybe five minutes more, turning back, and saying quietly to Lothar "No one left behind means NO one left behind." and running back through the portal, because by the Titans she is NOT losing another Guardian.

Taria, armed with only the few daggers she had on her person when she left, seeing an explosion of Fel and Arcane magic that looked like a fight.

Taria sprinting towards the explosion, knowing there is a solid chance she is already too late. But she isn't. Together, they manage to fight off the nearby Orcs and somehow, some way, get back to the portal.

They're just twenty yards away, Taria's bl33ding from a cut on her arm, Khadgar is out of mana, but the portal is so, so close. THEY are so, so close.

And it closes. Her hand is less than an inch away from it as it snaps out of existence, leaving the queen and the guardian completely abandoned.

And Lothar, on the other side, finally, after every awful thing that has happened, losing hope.

But they continue. Lothar talks Teranas Menithil into harboring them in Lordaeran. Varian befrends Arthas. But Adariall is old enough to understand that her mother and friend aren't coming back. They're gone, possibly, nay, probably forever.
