Name:
Ilaana Moonwatcher. She got the family name from the Priestess' in Suramar who saw her stare at the moon each night when she was a child.
Race and Class:
Kaldorei, Sentinel/Priestess hybrid. Ilaana isn't that good in fighting if we consider the Kaldorei norm, but she probably tops all experienced humans. Her Priestess powers are limited, she can only heal wounds that aren't too grave without sapping herself completely.
Observable Traits:
Ilaana is very tall, even for a Night Elf. Her eyes glow faintly as if all the power from them have been sapped out by the trails of life. Her eyebrows are well kept but her hair on the other hand looks horribly untidy and scruffy. It has a light blue colour comparable to the water of the Faralfan river. There are many scars on her face, ranging from cuts to slashes. She also has a number of wrinkles.
Ilaana also sounds very old and tired. She speaks very calm and slow, as if she is about to fall asleep.
Family:
Ilaana has two main family members that are still alive. There is Celegil, who is her daughter that she gave birth to about 210 years ago and there is her grand-son Kailahan who is Celegil's child.
However, the family member that was closest the longest with Ilaana is Thalyn, he died about 210 years ago after she had lived with him for more than 9000 years.
Background:
Ilaana didn't really know where she came from. All she knows is that her mother was unable to care for her and that she was raised by the Priestesses of Elune in Suramar. When she reached maturity, she became, as many other Night Elven women, a Priestess of Elune. After the Sundering, she moved to Astranaar and became a Priestess but also a Sentinel. She also met her mate Thalyn in Astranaar who she lived with for 9000 years.
About a thousand years ago however, Ilaana and Thalyn were called back to service again due to the fact the War of the Shifting Sands had begun. The couple moved to Southern Kalimdor into the province of Silithius where they served in their respective roles, Thalyn as a Druid mending nature and Ilaana as a Priestess, tending the wounded. After the war was over, Thalyn and Ilaana felt they had a duty to peform to their brethren and decided to stay with a small community to safeguard the old ruins of Ahn'Qiraij. It was in this harsh land that Ilaana eventually got pregnant. Sadly, Thalyn did not witness the birth of his child since he perished in an attack on the village in which he and Ilaana lived. Ilaana, despite all the hardships, eventually gave birth to a daughter which she named Celegil.
Ilaana carefully raised Celegil to become a Priestess like her but was never able to see this work fulfilled. One day, their village was attacked by the Silith and Ilaana was taken away by them and placed in a cocoon, ready to be eaten. Luckily, a number of Sentinels ventured into the Silith lairs and managed to safe Ilaana from being turned into a tasty snack. However, when Ilaana returned to the village, there was no trace of Celegil and she assumed her child had perished. Ilaana, in grief, decided to carry on doing what she was doing and stayed in Silithius as a Priestess till about three years ago when the Silith were pushed back. She then returned home to Astranaar.
Ilaana was thrilled to find out Celegil was still alive but was also frowning on the lifestyle of her child. Ilaana and Celegil had numerous arguments and had a lot of differences. Recently, Celegil and Ilaana sorted out their differences. Celegil saved Ilaana's life while she accidentally ran into her mother while looking for clues to her father's past. Since Celegil saved Ilaana's life, they have become friendly again to each other and restored their daughter/mother relation.
With the Orcs ever encroaching upon Astranaar, Ilaana takes up arms for the last time. She hopes to serve Elune and the Sentinels in the last few decades of her life.
Reputation:
Ilaana is generally considered as an example. She has devoted her life to fulfil the duties that come with being a Priestess of Elune and those of being a part-time Sentinel. Many younger ones look up to her.
Ideals:
"Fight because it is your duty". That was indoctrinated into Ilaana's mind when she studied in Suramar to become a Priestess. This look on life is something Ilaana still carries with her today though things have become slightly more bright. Although at first frowning on her daughter's way of life, she now accepts and loves her along with her daughter's son, Kailahan. Because of this, nowadays it isn't just duty she fights for, its her daughter and grand-son.
