Overview
Selinora Silverleaf is a priestess of Elune, childhood companion of the Bladewing brothers, and eventual partner of Feoran Bladewing. Born several thousand years after the War of the Ancients, she was raised with Feoran and Denarin during the Long Vigil.
The Bladewing Brothers
Both brothers loved Selinora when they were young, and she was genuinely torn between them. Denarin’s druidic calling seemed spiritually compatible with her priesthood, while Feoran knew and loved her beyond the role she held. Denarin eventually withdrew because his studies and duties left no room for the life he imagined. Selinora’s choice of Feoran was still her own, and the three retained a bond that never reduced her to a prize between brothers.
Priestess of Elune
Selinora’s priesthood is not pacifist. She understands Elune as a goddess of healing, protection, judgment, war, and vengeance, and at first accepts the justice of Tyrande invoking the Night Warrior after Teldrassil.
Teldrassil and Ardenweald
During the Burning of Teldrassil, Selinora remained in Darnassus with Denarin to heal the wounded and aid the evacuation. Denarin ultimately forced her, badly burned and scarred, through a failing portal to her fellow priestesses while he remained behind and died.
Selinora initially supported Feoran’s service beside Tyrande, but recognized before he did that he had begun using vengeance to punish himself as much as his enemies. When he entered the Shadowlands after Tyrande without concern for his return, she followed as a pursuer rather than a companion. In Ardenweald, she reunited with Denarin, confronted both brothers’ habit of making unilateral sacrifices in the name of love or duty, and became central to Feoran’s slow recovery.

Appearance
Selinora is a tall, slender female night elf with purple skin, luminous violet eyes, and very long white hair worn in elaborate braids. Her portrait includes cool blue tones and violet feathers woven through the hair. She wears an ornate crescent headdress and formal priestly armor or vestments in white, deep violet, black, and gold, with feathered shoulders, lunar jewelry, and an eye or moon emblem at the waist.
The right side of her face is visibly darkened, cracked, and scarred around the eye and cheek. This represents permanent injuries suffered during the Burning of Teldrassil. The scarring is significant but does not obscure her identity or reduce her physical presence.
Her clothing retains the beauty, severity, and martial dignity of Kaldorei lunar religion rather than appearing purely ceremonial or pacifistic. Her exact weapon, staff, glaive, or other priestly implements remain undefined.
Notes
- Selinora stands in for Melador Valestrider during the Argent Tournament.
