Background
Aelanya was brought up, like most night elves, by the community as a whole, a small child at the time of the Sundering who grew to adulthood in the aftermath of the disaster. Showing no more dedication to Elune than the average Kaldorei, she never entered the sisterhood like her mother or younger sister, nor did she demonstrate any desire to learn the use of weapons. Her true calling lay in the study of plants and she also learned some druidic magic, though she did not consider herself a druid and still does not, even after the attitudes towards female druids began to change.

For many years she lived as a civilian, medic and herbalist, providing assistance and minor healing to a small elven community in Ashenvale. In the Third War she had no involvement in the actual fighting, but continued to assist her people back in Kaldorei lands. After the night elves joined the Alliance, she decided she was at last ready to move on and explore more of Azeroth, the realisation that she would now grow old and die a contributing factor.

Personal Notes
She only recently studied druidic magic formally, owing to the attitude Kaldorei society had towards women becoming druids. Her healing spells are her most potent abilities, if they can be described as such.

Skills and Abilities

 * Healing Touch
 * Cat Form - the only "feral" ability Aelanya possesses and one she only recently acquired.
 * Rejuvenation
 * Mark of the Wild
 * Entangling Roots
 * Thorns
 * Regrowth

In combat, Aelanya prefers to avoid joining the actual fighting, keeping her distance and mostly casting spells to heal and assist any allies. If forced into melee, she will shift into her feline form, either to flee or to desperately attempt to defend herself.

Current Status
Working with Northwind Free Company, making use of her minor druidic abilities to heal and assist them.
