Dating Sim: Iwarela

(Here’s the final Warden for this Dating sim thing: Iwarela! The night warrior warden! I should really start pumping these out since I promised to make them awhile ago to @pebster. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!)

The quiet and most intimidating looking of her sisters. Quieter than the dead, and the perfect warden for sneaking and assassinations. Her status as a Night warrior as well has sent shivers up those who stood against her! She has shown no emotions to those she’s cut down, and shown less mercy. She would be the most terrifying one of the Warden trio to try and seduce. There is... one thing about her that lessens the terror...
She’s the shyest of ALL the wardens! She is completely socially inept, any phrase outside of Kaldorei and maybe Sin’dorei or Nightborne goes over her head! Most focus on her sister Aradel instead of her.
She’s actually a really nice gal, it’s just she’s not used to people taking an interest in her. She donates most of her money to charity, pay for food for those who couldn’t, visit the orphans of any nearby major settlement weekly...
Not the vengeful assassin as you originally thought, huh?
Still, she is a skilled and seasoned warrior. You don’t want to trifle with her, her shy and kind nature can only forgive so much after all.
If you want to wind up as a bloody puddle like Hana is, then go ahead! Flip that coin...
Since you chose to chase after this charming belle, then you should be used to this: SLOW BURN ROMANCE.
Due to her natural introvert nature and her terrible people skills, she’s not really looking for anybody. That and she thinks it would be selfish to be with someone only to die in battle and have them mourn for them.
So get cozy in that nice friend zone because it’s going to be awhile before she starts opening herself more to you.
She’s very adamant on having another follow her as she goes out on her missions. The warden works best alone to not worry for the safety of others. It isn’t a matter of “Are you capable?”, it’s a matter of “Are you prepared for this?”. She really doesn’t want to see you get hurt!
The longer the two of you work together, the more comfortable she is at talking with you. At first it was really only you carrying the conversations, but now she actually has started more of your conversations.
You learn of her other sisters, and her favorite places in Darnassus, and her favorite food, and her thoughts on some little things.
Her eyes beam with joy when you try to make her favorite food. Whether you succeeded of failed, she’s just happy you listened!
You helping her with keeping the orphaned happy or brightening the mood means a lot to her. She reveals a book that has every picture they ever drew for her.
Later you two get to the point where simple looks or head gestures could plan out entire strategies. When it’s just you two together, you sometimes talk the entire night away! Silent conversations to rants to last hours!
Then comes the heavy topics like her worries for her sisters, why she became a night warrior, and why she’s chosen to avoid relationships. The only other people she’s ever been this close to were her sisters. Let this teach you how much she trusts you.
One night, she confesses her feelings to you. It’s pretty awkward but you can tell she’s really trying to tell you how she feels. She then asks you if you could leave so she wouldn’t hurt you.
You do not. You choose to stay with her.
She begs you to leave her so you won’t get hurt by her.
You then simply say, “but that would hurt you. I cannot hurt someone I love as well.” You then hold her gently as she quietly cries in your arms, the two of you finally together.

Dating Sim: Aradel

(I promised this awhile ago and only recently did I remember I was going to do this. So... yeah. Sorry for the wait, but here’s another start to a dating sim to @pebster very own Wardens! I hope you enjoy!)

Just because she’s the MOST APPROACHABLE Warden, does not mean she is easy to get!
You’re far more likely to be a friend or a bestie or that drinking buddy you trust to make good decisions while your wasted.
Or if you’re really close that one older sister that’s pretty chill but will look out for you because she doesn’t want to see you get hurt.
That, and she is still a warden. Personal companionship that isn’t family tends to be looked down upon.
Which makes sense since they are agents of vengeance for the Night Elves.
(Other than the Illidari)
(and Death Knights.)
Bottom line: probably best to keep looking for someone actually interested in a relationship.
Still, you’re more than welcome to try.
She’s going to tease you. That’s unavoidable.
Aradel is stronger, faster, and tougher than you, and she will not hesitate to remind you of that.
Expect pranks and practical jokes... a lot of them actually.
She mostly does this because she expects you to get frustrated and cut your losses.
It’ll surprise her if you actually stick around for a lot longer than she thought!
The tricks and shows of superiority will lessen over the following weeks. She’ll start actually considering a trusted companion at this point.
You’ll definitely notice her being the flirty one after all that dies down.
Still, this is gonna be another slow burn romance. She’s not exactly comfortable with the thought of being in a relationship and you having to lose her if a mission goes bad for her.
Or vice versa.
Still, if you do manage to win her heart after all that, you won’t find another fun loving wife around.
She might even teach you a few workout tips!
In conclusion: Aradel might be the most laid back of the Wardens, but she will still worry for you and won’t want to lose you any time soon!

Cira and Perry Headcanons

((I’ve been sitting on this golden picture for too long. So, for those of you who don’t know, @pebster and @drew-winchester had two of their characters be related. The strict warden Cira and Khadgar’s lovable wife. So here’s a few headcanons on how I think their interactions go before and after the burning of Teldrassil. Pebster drew this great piece, so I hope you enjoy!))

Nana & Iwarela

((Here is the finally of this trilogy. @pebster made these two, and I hope she enjoys these two! The sassiest of the Renu’s meets the shyest of the Warden sisters. Now, this one won’t be as violent as Saya’s, or as sweet as the Hana one, but it is one I’d hope you still enjoy!))

After the incident involving Saya and Cira, Nana had spent most of her time keeping Saya from being in more trouble. Her plan was having her get stuck with Turalyon on a mission to the Ironforge. She knew Saya would not DARE do anything brash and aggressive when the paladin was around, since she didn’t want to have him hate her. As for Nana, she mostly lead everyone who was looking for the demon hunter to the opposite of wrong way.

Except for one...

Iwarela was sent out to get information about the demon hunter who “supposedly” assaulted a warden for no good reason. As always, she only responded in few words and set off to fins this “Sayarenu”. She actually had helped her sister Aradel find Hana after she had learned of the whereabouts of Nana. Now, she stayed hidden in the woods, watching the night elf from afar.

She knew the Kaldorei was like her: a night warrior. She didn’t really think much on that, since she herself was just like her. Though, she wondered what reasons she chose to become one did cross her mind. For Iwa, she became one to remember all those who had lost their lives in the war of thorns.

Suddenly, Nana turned her head to the Warden, glaring at her very direction. “Hey!” She shouted, “You can stop following like some creepy ghost! I know you’re there! Show yourself now!”

Iwarela was shocked, how the hell did she find her so easily?!? Still, she didn’t want to start a fight with a fellow member of her kind. She jumped down and revealed herself to Nana. Despite her usual reveal bringing shock and awe to other’s, this one simply rolled her eyes. “Great. More Wardens. Listen, I know I’m supposed to show you respect and reverence, but I have literally seen you guys so many times this week alone that I wonder how the hell you’re dwindling!”

The warden was surprised by this, how did something so small have so much snark??? It’d probably best to come off friendly rather than opposing at this time. Iwarela removed her helmet, revealing her face to the small night warrior. This did little to change this Renu sister’s mood. She noticed an old looking book, “What’s that?” She asked quietly.

She raised an eyebrow, “An artifact from Ulduan.” She answers, still looking at the warden with suspicion. “Look, you only came here to get information on my sister. I can tell you where she i-” She was quickly cut off, “Actually, I want to hear your side of the story.” Nana looked up to Iwarela like she was crazy. “Wait what?” The warden repeated herself to her, “I want to hear your side. I know how difficult my sister can be, so I want to hear from your side of it.”

Nana shrugged, “Okay fine. If this get’s you guys off my back so I can get back to my profession!” She snapped at her. She took a deep breath, “Alright look, it all started with that Warden-”

“Cira.”

“Don’t care. Anyways, that warden got huffy when she bumped into Saya and wasn’t immediately apologized to. So she calls her a traitorous freak, and that got Saya’s attention. The two started arguing and yelling at each other, and Saya was about to smack her like a bitch for calling Illidan quote-unquote: A vile sack of fel scum. Hana and I, my other sister, pulled Saya out of there before things got ugly. BUT OF COURSE, your sister had to have the last insult, and that caused Saya to snap!”

Iwarela nodded, and had a sad look on her face. Cira was known to be very... disciplined with herself, but she had hoped it wouldn’t cause her to get into fights like these! “I... I see. Thank you for telling me this. Forgive me and my sisters for being an annoyance on you.”

Nana took a deep breath, “Look, you seem like a nice enough warden, and your friends have the best intentions, but don’t beat yourself up so much for something your sister did. I cannot BEGIN to tell you the many times Saya did something so incredibly stupid or brash that I almost smacked her across the face! What I’m trying to tell you is, it’s completely natural to have a pain in the ass sibling, but you should not leave her to her own devices. Try to be there to nudge her in a better direction... or for her case toss her to the right side by force!”

Iwarela nodded, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll consider it...” She left Nana to her own devices. As for Nana, she continued on her own. “Now to put you in a nice museum in Dalaran. The price will be nice, and it’ll help more people than collecting dust for some private collector!”

Reunion

((You all that I was only going to post fluff on this blog? Wrong! I have at least some angst here. Just mostly covered by the majority of fluff. This comic was made by @pebster, with a character by @drew-winchester! Any who, I hope you enjoy!))

The burning of the world tree shook the Kaldorei to their very core. Many heroes of the Alliance, and even a few of the Horde, did their best to save as many as they could. While many survived, many more perished by falling debris, asphyxiation due to the smoke, or by the fire itself. The wardens did their best to lead those who were too late to enter the portal to safety.
