Shryn'Dael Sunwalker is the youngest of two children to Lord Sim'Dael Sunwalker and his wife Nalurianta. She has an older brother, Isinwen. The Sunwalker lands were in Southern Quel'Thelas and were burned extensively in the Second War. In the Third War, the lands were completely obliterated by the construction of Deatholme and the re-emergence of the Amani trolls. Shryn'Dael spent most of her life as a socialite; only after a brief time in Dalaran for education and the later destruction of Quel'Thelas did she actually choose to work towards preserving her family name.
