Azeroth has always been a dangerous place. The Orc Invasions didn't change that, instead making it worse. Jaina Proudmoore grew up in this hostile world as war raged around her for all her life. The daughter of one of the most respected admirals in the Alliance Navy, there were big expectations put on her, as well as great opportunities.

Ultimately, Jaina decided to enter the mage order of the Kirin Tor to hone her rather impressive magical potential. As she grew, she became more and more talented and quickly rose among the ranks of the mages.

Jaina's magical potential, however, did not blind her to the world around her, and she approached it in a far more levelheaded manner than most of her peers. To that end, Proudmoore was one of the only humans to heed the warnings of the returned Medivh and led her people to Kalimdor to escape the blight that ravaged the land.

There, she ruled the island of Theramore and worked toward peace with the Orcs and their allies for close to a decade. Overall, Jaina Proudmoore is one of the few people in all of Azeroth respected by both the Horde and Alliance.
