I guess now is also a good time to put it on the record that I’ve never played a video game quite like World of Warcraft (WoW). But I am excited to see what adults complain about and peers rave about (or used to ). When our teacher told us she posted a link for us to look at the different races available in the game, I did. And here’s what it amounted to.
I was drawn to the Night Elf as the race because they seemed to stand up for what they believed in and were resilient. They were a race that used to be immortal but when the choice was to keep their immortality and lose the war, they chose to give up their immortality. Even though this is a fictional plot line, I still applaud their selflessness. It is admirable. I made a list of all the attributes I liked in the Night Elf race, because they reminded me of who I wanted to be. I don’t mean an elf myself – but their mentality and skills.
- they are an ancient race (I’ve been told I have an old soul)
- reclusive in nature (tend to be reserved)
- protective of what is theirs (same. I am highly protective of those I care about)
- self-sacrificing (put others before myself)
- get along with animals/able to tame them (I love animals)
- open city to refugees/own to their mistakes (admirable quality I hope to keep)
- excellent marksmen (not the worst shot but definitely not the best)
That’s the general gist of my list. I saw a little bit of myself in their backstory and like I said before, I liked their values. Oh! And my character is in the Hunter class. That also had a bit to do with my list. So long for now readers! ~V

I love your attention to how the elf characteristics fit your own personality. Having a connection to your character definitely makes the game more enjoyable. Even though I have made a bunch of different characters over the years I’ve been playing, my night elf is still my favorite and the only one that I’ve really taken an interest in maxing out.
