Nelya's history isn't one of great surprises: She was orphaned at a very young age for reasons unknown; probable is that her parents died in somekind of an accident.As such, she doesn't remember who her real parents were. She also lost one of her foster parents when the Scourge sacked her home, the Silvermoon City. Her surrogate mother she would not meet again before Kael'thas returned. Againts odds she was able to survive in the ravaged city and it's outskirts week after week, month after month until the reclaimers of the city finally came.
