Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Shandris Feathermoon, along with Tyrande Whisperwind and the other Sentinels, spent her life protecting the forests of Kalimdor from intruders and defilers. Shandris appears in the Night Elf campaign of Warcraft III, where she and Tyrande had begun to notice Humans and Orcs moving into the forests of Ashenvale. Suspecting that they were up to no good, Tyrande ordered her sentinels to pillage some of the intruders' bases.

In the second mission of the Night Elf campaign, Tyrande had noticed the demons taking over Ashenvale, and she had fled to a Night Elf encampment nearby, where she met Shandris.

After that, Shandris was not seen until the battle of Mount Hyjal. Shandris helped defend first the Human base, then the Horde's Base, and finally the Night Elf base, as each was overrun by the Burning Legion. Although Shandris does not appear in The Frozen Throne, she does appear in World of Warcraft as the commander of Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas.

[edit] Background

At the time of the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth, Shandris was only about 16 years old. During the retreat from Suramar, Shandris encountered Tyrande for the first time; awestruck by the Head Priestess of Elune, Shandris followed Tyrande everywhere after their initial meeting. Despite Shandris's relative youth, Tyrande did not have the heart to send her away, and Shandris was thus allowed to ride with the Priestesses of the Moon. Although neither she nor Malfurion Stormrage were able to prevent Tyrande's capture by the satyr Xavius, the arrow she struck Xavius in the shoulder with gave Malfurion the opportunity to literally turn Xavius into wood, thus killing him and eliminating one of the Night Elves' dangerous enemies.
