Mistleaf

"'Eyes In The Mist' --the old (translated) motto of the Mistleaf family."

The Mistleaf Family
The Mistleafs are a noble night elven family now taking residence in Darnassus, where they have been since the War of the Ancients. They once lived in Suramar prior to the War. The Mistleaf family started out as a family of low nobility, but the selection of Izshri Mistleaf as a personal handmaiden to Queen Azshara rocketed them to celebrity status among the Highborne families.

Ydrael Mistleaf:
Commonly referred to as "the Mistleaf matriarch" Ydrael lived a long and controversial life, meddling in the affairs of her children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren until her death during the War of the Ancients. Ydrael wed Leneris Moongazer, who was a mild-mannered and friendly man-- and very easy for Ydrael to control. With Leneris she had four children: Sirryn, Thadrael, Ydras and Izshri. Ydrael became a widow after her husband's death (something that is widely believed to have been orchestrated by her own hand), and may or may not have been responsible for Sirryn's untimely death as well.

Sirryn Mistleaf:
Sirryn was the first Mistleaf to bring shame to the family name. She was a drunkard and a lout, always wasting her time by throwing gaudy and expensive parties. Her guests loved her parties, but not her, causing Sirryn to lead a lonely and unfulfilling life until her unexpected death, apparently from choking on a drink. Sirryn's parties were sorely missed, but her name was forgotten faster than a passing stranger's face.

Thadrael Mistleaf:
Thadrael was everything Sirryn was not. She was driven, intelligent, and highly manipulative, considered the apex predator of the social world. Though not the most attractive elf, Thadrael forged a highly advantageous marriage with Gallian Stagseeker, an adviser to Queen Azshara. Through him, Thadrael was able to exert a level of subtle control over the kaldorei society, using this power to dishonour rival nobles and lay the groundwork that would allow her youngest sister Izshri to later become a handmaiden to the Queen. Thadrael was Ydrael's favourite for a time, but once Izshri entered the palace Thadrael's achievements were all but forgotten by the Mistleaf matriarch. Thadrael went on to have two children with Gallian, named Gallia and Gadris.
