Her hair remained intact in the previews, possible result from a new battle? 
Maybe⌠âŚI think theyâve forgotten Alleria Stronghold.
Alleria was the commander of High Elven forces during the Second War, this is true, but a leader is more than just a military commander. They are a politician, a figurehead, etc⌠Itâs something Lorâthemar struggled with for the longest time (and still does to a limited degree even now).
Alleria herself has never wanted that kind of power. She didnât even want to succeed her mother as the Ranger-General.
This isnât to say that she couldnât become a leader, of course, simply that even right now she isnât really one. Sheâs more of a champion of the Void Elves than a leader for them. While Umbric rules them, Alleria embodies their strengths and goals.

High Elfs are waiting to Rise Up
We are already rising up. We are kicking butt and taking names.
Dont even think of going near the Sunwell.
Already obtainable on both factions. This is nonsense.

Only cringe wins.
Good job missing the new expansion point. Sheâs the one that ran away after triggering the ethereals.
Wat?

You mean⌠at the Sunwell? When Lorâthemar exiled her?
Did you forget what happen last time something interfered in the Sunwell?
Im sure the elves are smart enough to know how to protect their lifelineâŚ
Sure, but what does that have to do with your assertion that:
I want a transmogable elf hat with elf ears so I can join the party.
Than we all can be elves!
I think shes referring to⌠Was it that Ethereal prince who speaks when the void walkers come out of the Sunwell⌠?
But like⌠Alleria didnât run away⌠she stayed helped fight them off then helped close the rift and then was exiledâŚso she left.

Itâs the best hairstyle too, because the concept of modern High Elves stems from Norse Mythology.

Near the top ranks â current equivalent would be above field grade â military officersâ jobs are inherently political. Some tolerate it, others embrace it, but either way it comes with the territory. I donât think she leans into the role with any great enthusiasm, but sheâll do the job if she has to.
Most of the time we see her operating independently.
In BFA, she led the Void Elf relief forces during the battle for Undercity, but then spent her time in Boralus helping the Alliance player from the ship. She didnât even have any men around her. During the pre-Shadowlands novel, she and Turalyon are leading forces looking into leads about Sylvanas. With War Within, we see her in Dalaran, alone, apparently to go seek out Khadgar.
While she takes up a role as commander when it is needed, its not how she spends every waking moment. Even in the Shadowlands when she showed up it wasnât with Renâdorei soldiers in tow or any thing (although to be fair, even Vereesa didnât bring anyone else with her for Sylvanasâ trial).
Alleria strikes me a bit more as an early Illidan sort of character, someone whom operates very independently, but commands when needed. Illidan himself ended up leading the Illidari, and I could see Alleria taking up a similar role someday. Right now though? Sheâs not a leader. Sheâs a commander as needed.
