34. Jaina Proudmoore

First appearance: Warcraft III (2002)

When she was first introduced, Jaina Proudmoore was a simple character.

All you needed to know was that she was a spellcaster – a damn powerful one – and that was about it.

With time, Jaina has become a more fleshed-out character who’s had a slow but realistic character development throughout WoW’s long history.

Once a pacifist, Jaina has progressively become a no-nonsense leader who turns to war and violence at the first sign of trouble.

She’s the representative of the Mage class in Hearthstone, and one of the most popular characters for WoW cosplay.
