Overview

One of the three original members of the group that would evolve into the Alliance's guild.

Meyneth suffered a majority of her life forced under her family's wishes, shoved into a life she didn't want. She only managed to break off after the Third War, when the Night Elves lost their immortality, and women were allowed to practice Druidism. From then on, Meyneth was able to follow her love of the night sky and nature; as well as fighting against any and all that would stop her from doing so.

All forces of corruption and evil will discover that despite its beauty, moonlight still burns with the force of a sun when Meyneth is around.

Personality

• Meyneth is usually a quite pleasant person. She will meet anyone initially with kindness and friendliness, and is usually the sunshine of any group (the sun is still a star). Her years of being stuck in a situation that she hated, added on to her free-loving nature, also means that she doesn't take any shit. If anyone is being rude, stupid, cartoonishly evil, or just needs a reality check, she will be the one to whack the guilty party over the head and set them straight (that classic Night Elf fury has to go somewhere).
• As is pretty much required for a druid, Meyneth loves nature. She especially finds beauty in the stars and sky. She is completely content to walk and lay in the grass by herself, but is always very grateful if someone decides to join her. She'd never force it on someone, and is very respectful of the wishes of others, unless said wishes involve harm.
• Oppression is her greatest enemy. She hates to be forced to do anything she doesn't want to, and this extends to others as well; Meyneth will stand up for them if they aren't doing what they love.

Story

• Her parents were Extremely traditional, her mother being a member of the Sisters of Elune, and due to this, she was raised and pressured to join the Priesthood herself. Her fascination with the moon was essentially used against her in this aspect, being constantly turned into a sign Elune is speaking to her directly, but in reality she never cared for any of the politics or even the serving aspect that comes with the position. She would often try to escape her duties to simply experience and feel nature, not attaching any sort of religious duty to it. Her refusal to embrace the lifestyle assigned to her gave Meyneth the image of a slacker and failure in the eyes of her parents.
• Classic - After the Night Elves losing their immortality in the Third War, Meyneth decided enough was enough. Escaping her parents and the Priesthood, she would go to start training as a Druid on the newly grown Teldrassil. Initially relishing in the novelty of a freer life, she began to learn about the corruption overtaking Teldrassil, which concerned her. Rather than having her journey as a Druid eventually lead into slumbering in the Emerald Dream for who knows how long, Meyneth wanted to go out and face the problems on Azeroth directly. This would lead to her traveling all over Kalimdor and later the Eastern Kingdoms, facing against all fiends that would threaten Azeroth, and attuning closer with nature and Elune in a way she had never done before. Occasionally, her path would cross with other adventurers, most notably a human warrior and a very strange gnome, the latter of which she kept in her mind.
• The Burning Crusade - Having learned far more about the world than she was ever able to in the past from adventuring, when word spread of the Alliance heading an assault through the Dark Portal, Meyneth took the opportunity, to take the fight directly to the Legion and to try and cut off a large source of corruption in Azeroth. Here, she would meet up yet again with that loud human, as well as one of those "draenei". The three of them banded together, and grew close as a party. Knowing the history of his actions, and seeing the state of Outland, her main goal was to take down Illidan Stormrage.

Relationships

• Winstant - They have a shared mind of heroism and fighting oppression. Though out of the battlefield, Meyneth is usually the calmer one of the two.
• Istaanu - Starting out, Meyneth would get irritated at Istaanu's constant anxiety getting in the way of her own will, but knowing it came from a place of caring, worked with him to build trust. She enjoys hearing Istaanu's stories of other lands and star travel. Together, the two of them act as the "mom" and "dad" of the Alliance's guild.
• Grommet - Initially she was very concerned for the gnome. Having dealt with many instances of corruption, yet still seeing a kind soul, Meyneth aimed to keep Grommet close. She was terrified when Grommet exploded (not literally) after they dealt with the Sword of Sargeras, and was the main person insuring that Grommet was safe until her eventual recovery on Mechagon.

Other

• Rejects any kind of tradition she was expected to go through. She has no marking, and prefers not to be called by any kind of title.
• Starshimmer is most likely not her original last name.

Author's Notes

• She is named after Meyneth from Xenoblade Chronicles. There's not really much connection between the two other than like, skin color, I guess. But I love that game, and thought the name fit well for a Night Elf.
