+Alexstrasza was originally the Queen of the Dragons. That is...//all// of them. She was later retconned into being the Queen of the Red Dragonflight...though she technically still rules over all the dragons? It's kinda weird.

It's kinda weird.\\  She is also one of the //nicest// characters in Warcraft and, possibly, one of the most consistent characterization-wise. That said, the modern writers seem to have forgotten she still **ate** her Orc captors.((:fn:>This is relevant because she is asked in one of her books if she would forgive her captors. She answers something like “I love all the inhabitants of Azeroth” and leaves out that crucial detail.))

 ==== Visage Design ====
+<div passage>
+Now let's get into something that infuriates me: Alexstrasza's new (visage) design is pretty bad. It diverges from the original - which I would argue is //iconic// - **waaaay** too much.
-Now let's get into something that infuriates me: Alexstrasza's new (visage) design is pretty bad. It diverges from the original - which I would argue is //iconic// - **waaaay** too much.\\  Something that bothers me, but which doesn't bother me as much as the rest is the fact it shows less skin. The new design shows less skin. I know why Blizzard did this and, honestly, it's a pathetic reason for doing it. I'll leave it at that.\\  I noted this in the [[lb:warcraft#aesthetics]] section of my ‘Warcraft Issues’ thing, but her new design is far too detailed compared to her older design, which is more reserved (despite more skin). The shoes, in particular, bother me a lot...I even remember getting irrationally angry when I first saw them. I think.\\  What would have made more sense is if they just went the Sylvanas route, where they simply added to her existing design instead of completely replacing it. Or copying the older Ysera design, which already looked better than Alexstrasza's old design.
