  +
Shandris is one of the most loyal warriors in [[Tyrande Whisperwind]]'s employ. A fearless [[archer]] and [[huntress]], Shandris stood by Tyrande's side through the millennia of solitude that kept her away from her love, [[Malfurion]]. Shandris came to lead a cadre of [[Sentinels]] known as the [[Shadowleaves]]. She is the most talented [[Marksman|markswoman]] in [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], having honed her skills for ten thousand years. In all of Azeroth, her only rivals with the bow are [[Lady Vashj]] and the [[Windrunner|Sisters Windrunner]].

As an adolescent, Shandris was living in the village of [[Ara-Hinam]] when the invading forces of the [[Burning Legion]] arrived and destroyed the settlement. Separated from her family, she fled south with the other survivors, chased by the ravening demons. Fortunately for the refugees, the pursuing Legion was intercepted by [[Kur'talos Ravencrest]] and his combined night elf forces, who slaughtered the demonic army.

The survivors of Ara-Hinam joined with the defenders. Shortly thereafter, at the defender's camp, a lonely and bitter Shandris,was found by Tyrande Whisperwind, priestess of [[Elune]]. Tyrande became fond of the young girl, and couldn't bear to simply let her remain among the survivors alone, and so she accompanied the priestess. Shandris soon started to idolize Tyrande and followed her everywhere she went, learning the arts of divine magic and healing from the goddess-touched Tyrande. Shandris wanted more than anything to take part in the battles, but Tyrande forbid it, so she secretly followed the Sisters into battle, looking on from the shadows. Shandris' secret tours were discovered by Tyrande, and the priestess told Shandris to never again put herself in such danger. Shandris reluctantly agreed. However, just before one of the most important battles in the war, Shandris grabbed her bow and ran after Tyrande after watching her ride away.

The dragon Aspects joined the fray for the first time in the battle that followed and [[Deathwing|Neltharion]] revealed his betrayal. Chaos broke out as Deathwing slaughtered both defenders, demons, and the entire blue dragonflight in his madness, until he was forced to retreat by [[Korialstrasz]]. When the dragons departed, the scattered defenders were put under heavy pressure as the demons renewed their charge. In the chaotic battles near the forest's edge, [[Malfurion Stormrage|Malfurion]] found his beloved Tyrande at the mercy of one he had thought dead, [[Xavius]]! Xavius mocked Malfurion for some time, and just as he was about to strike the death blow to the young druid, his body was rocked by a feathered arrow plunging into his shoulder. Shandris, hidden in the forest, had proved her unnatural talent with the bow. Xavius' satyrs struggled to open up a portal to Zin'Azshari when the fighting night elves and demons reached their location. Several satyrs fell, impaled by Shandris' arrows, and Malfurion was able to confront Xavius unhindered. Focusing on the wood of Shandris' arrow impaled into Xavius' shoulder, Malfurion caused it to grow into a massive oak tree, consuming Xavius's flesh in the process. Still, the night elf druid failed to rescue his beloved Tyrande from the escaping demons. Shandris was rescued by Korialstrasz from the massive downpour created by Malfurion's resulting grief, and hounded him to rescue the priestess.

Shandris, with nothing stopping her from taking part in battles, clad in armor a bit too large for her, joined with the [[Sisterhood of Elune]]. And so, as all sisters, she followed the command of [[Jarod Shadowsong]], though the sisters themselves were now led by Jarod's arrogant sister, [[Maiev Shadowsong|Maiev]].
  +
  +
During the last, and most epic battle, when the night elves, and the combined forces of the denizens of Kalimdor, met the vast army of Archimonde the Defiler, Shandris was in the middle of the fray. Along with the sisters, she dropped dozens of demons with lethally aimed arrows.

  +
During the Sundering, Shandris fled with the other night elves to the slopes of Mt Hyjal. As the chaos subsided, Shandris stood next to Jarod, ever close to Tyrande.

===The Long Vigilance===
  +
Shandris remained at the right hand of Tyrande during the long vigilance, and came to lead a elite group of sentinels called the Shadowleaves.
  +
  +
===The Third War===
  +
Shandris was stirred from her long vigil by the Orcish Horde. When they began to assault the forest, Shandris and her [[Sentinels]] attacked.
  +
  +
During these battles, the combined might of [[Grom Hellscream]], infused with the blood of Mannoroth, and a vast army of blood-crazed fel orcs managed to kill the demigod [[Cenarius]] after a long and arduous combat.
  +
  +
Horrified, Shandris and the Shadowleaves retreated deeper into [[Ashenvale]] to warn the high priestess, Tyrande.
  +
  +
[[Tyrande Whisperwind|Tyrande]] quickly surmised that the invaders must leave. Shandris loyally obeyed, and together, they sensed a looming darkness. Shandris believed it to be the demonic orcs who killed Cenarius, but Tyrande was still unsure.
  +
  +
Shandris remained deeper in the foothills of [[Hyjal]] while Tyrande took care of the [[human]] and orc problem. But her encampment came under heavy attack by the [[undead]] and they barely beat them back. When Tyrande arrived with the survivors of the demonic attack, she knew that the time had come to awaken the [[Druid]]s once more. Shandris stayed behind to defend [[Mount Hyjal (mountain)|Hyjal]] and the [[World Tree]], [[Nordrassil]], while Tyrande went out to awaken the druids.
  +
  +
Shandris bravely fought back the demons and undead, until she saw a massive demonic force amassing at the base of the mountain. Just then, Tyrande and Furion arrived with human and orcish allies at their back. Together, they formed a plan to dupe [[Archimonde]] into destroying himself.
  +
  +
[[Jaina]] defended the human base, while [[Thrall]] took charge of the orcish encampment. Shandris was next to Tyrande, constantly on the front lines. First while defending Jaina's encampment, then while defending Thrall's, Shandris' arrows were the death of many demons. At last, when both Jaina's and Thrall's fortifications were broken, Shandris and Tyrande, along with the rest of the night elves, retreated to the peak of the mountain. Shandris fought fiercely in the very last battle, when all night elves, ancients, furbolgs, and even dark trolls stood combined against the might of the thousands of ravening demons that came against them. When Archimonde himself came, Malfurion quickly cast a spell that teleported all night elves and ancients to the safety of the shadowy forest. Archimonde, overconfident from his supposed victory, stepped up to Nordrassil and prepared to consume its energy. Just then, Malfurion activated his trap. Thousands of the night elves' ancestral guardians swarmed up from the forest and destroyed Archimonde.
  +
  +
Shandris, a great hero of battles, and now the Third War as well, helped Tyrande in retaking the night elves' grounds and rebuilding their settlements. She remained in Kalimdor as Tyrande and Malfurion chased [[Illidan Stormrage|Illidan]] from the [[Broken Isles]], through the [[Plaguelands]], and into the ruins of [[Dalaran]].

Biography

Shandris is one of the most loyal warriors in Tyrande Whisperwind's employ. A fearless archer and huntress, Shandris stood by Tyrande's side through the millennia of solitude that kept her away from her love, Malfurion. Shandris came to lead a cadre of Sentinels known as the Shadowleaves. She is the most talented markswoman in Azeroth, having honed her skills for ten thousand years. In all of Azeroth, her only rivals with the bow are Lady Vashj and the Sisters Windrunner.

The War of the Ancients

As an adolescent, Shandris was living in the village of Ara-Hinam when the invading forces of the Burning Legion arrived and destroyed the settlement. Separated from her family, she fled south with the other survivors, chased by the ravening demons. Fortunately for the refugees, the pursuing Legion was intercepted by Kur'talos Ravencrest and his combined night elf forces, who slaughtered the demonic army.

Shandris, with nothing stopping her from taking part in battles, clad in armor a bit too large for her, joined with the Sisterhood of Elune. And so, as all sisters, she followed the command of Jarod Shadowsong, though the sisters themselves were now led by Jarod's arrogant sister, Maiev.

The Sundering's ending establishes that Shandris was on the cusp of a romantic relationship with Jarod Shadowsong. Exactly what happened to the relationship is unknown.

The Long Vigilance

Shandris remained at the right hand of Tyrande during the long vigilance, and came to lead a elite group of sentinels called the Shadowleaves.

Shandris was stirred from her long vigil by the Orcish Horde. When they began to assault the forest, Shandris and her Sentinels attacked.

During these battles, the combined might of Grom Hellscream, infused with the blood of Mannoroth, and a vast army of blood-crazed fel orcs managed to kill the demigod Cenarius after a long and arduous combat.

Letter to the Sentinels

Legacy of Destruction: Deathwing
Sentinels,

I wish I were writing with news that would lift your hearts, But the purpose of this missive is much bleaker. I have received word that Xaxas, or Deathwing as he is called in some tongues, has returned. It is he who is responsible for the rampant destruction that has hit Azeroth. For those of you who were born after our war with the Burning Legion over ten thousand years ago, know that we once considered this dragon a protector of the world. Yet we were not aware that treachery was brewing in his heart... a truth revealed when he murdered our kin and even his own dragon brethren when we needed him most.

Doubtless even the youngest among you are familiar with the schemes that he orchestrated in the ages that followed, including his disappearance nearly two decades ago. In light of the catastrophe that has just transpired, it seems that during his absence Deathwing has grown more powerful than ever before. I know not what fuels his rage, nor what he plans next. He is a creature we cannot reason with. All that we can do is steel ourselves in preparation for what is to come, and remain ever vigilant.

Elune be with you all.

-General Shandris Feathermoon
