'''Jaina Proudmoore''' is a [[fictional character]] in the [[fantasy]] [[Warcraft Universe]].

{{spoiler}}

==Biography==
She is a [[Human (Warcraft)|Human]] [[Ssorceress]] and a personal friendformer lover of [[Arthas Menethil|Arthas]], the former Prince of [[Lordaeron]].

When Arthas showed the first signs of madness, Jaina tried to talk him back into sanity but to no avail. She did not follow Arthas into [[Northrend]], but instead rounded up what remained of the Human Alliance and and travelled to the West, to the continent of [[Kalimdor]], as the "[[prophet]]" [[Medivh]] had instructed.

There she made pacts with [[Thrall (Warcraft)|Thrall]], the visionary leader of the [[Horde (Warcraft)|Horde]], and [[Tyrande Whisperwind]], the [[Priestess|High Priestess]] of the [[Night Elves]].  Together the fragile alliance successfully defended the [[World Tree (Warcraft)|World Tree]] and defeated the [[Burning Legion]]'s Second Invasion led by [[Archimonde]].

After the war, Jaina led the remaining humans and retreated to the [[Theramore Isles]] off the coast of southern [[Kalimdor]].  There she founded a [[Human Alliance]] [ realm on the main island.

Peace did not last long, as the [[Orc (Warcraft)|Horde]] also settled in Kalimdor. They were under an uneasy truce.  However, the appearance of [[Admiral Proudmoore]]'s Marines alerted the [[Orc]]s, and Thrall decided to intervene with their activity.  With the help of [[Rexxar]] the Beastmaster, the Orcs pushed the humans all the way back to the Theramore Isles, and there they faced the 
battle-hardened yet stubborn Admiral, who was bent on killing Orcs with no questions asked.

The Horde prevailed and, before Jaina could intervene, Admiral Proudmoore was slain in the [[throne room]] on the island's Castle. Knowing the threat had been removed, the Orcs left Jaina and the island in peace.

However, the new conflict in the ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' is said to have at least partially originated from this incident.  More should be revealed as the [[MMORPG]] progresses.

Jaina prefers actions over words, leading her to develop a great admiration for Thrall's success in founding [[Durotar]] and a deep resentment of the unending, fruitless debate among the members of the [[High Council of Lordaeron]] (when it was still in existence).  Although she is the daughter of the Orc-hating Admiral, Jaina holds all races on equal terms, treating all as intelligent, reasonable beings.  It was this trust in all races first forged her Alliance with the Horde. 

==Family==
Jaina is the youngest daughter of Admiral Daelin Proudmoore. She is the half-sister of the [[half-elf]], [[Finnall Goldensword]]. She has a late older brother, and another relative (possibly a brother) named [[Tandred Proudmoore]], who is the current ruler of [[Kul Tiras]].
