My death knight chose to paint a portrait of Anduin for Lorewalker Cho.  What he said will smash your heart with Wrynn-feels.

thIS FUCKING KILLED ME BECAUSE

NOT ONLY IS IT SO ACCURATE

It’s so apparent to anyone that looks at Anduin Llane Wrynn that he’s never had a childhood, that he’s wise beyond his years, that that’s how you paint him from memory. Or, at the very least, it’s such a solid core fact about Anduin that you, a citizen of the Alliance, paint him like that

And you paint him like that so plainly, this random-ass Pandaren you just met, who’s probably only JUST met humans and has little experience IDing their facial expressions can tell.

Anduin Wrynn’s sense of being wise-beyond-his-years, of never having had a childhood, of being older than he really is is so obvious, someone can come completely fresh to the situation and see it.
