    She looks really young. Which got me thinking…

    In the age of chaos, two factions battle for dominance… OF MIDDLE SCHOOL!

      i could see it :)

      i played warcraft 3 as a kid and i always viewed her as only slightly older than me. I’d say Arthas felt like 25to28 and Jaina felt like 17to20. Looking back, I think that helped her feel relateable since i was like 13. She was my fav character in the game. I barely even remember the others xcept Arthas. Just looked it up and she officially was 23 in WC3. like she was the girl, arthas was the boy, and everyone else was background (and illidan was the weirdo)

      Not all games back then had a smart and powerful character girls could relate to that wasn’t a sex object. so ya i think, even way back then, warcraft would have worked healthily as a kid show.

      actually hadnt thought about it before your comment but since WC3 was my game I played all the time as a kid and Jaina was the smart girl lead protagonist, I think she was one of my main romodels and I totally see all this magical creating of stuff I do today as perfectly in line with her energy.

      i believe Jaina Proudmoore is one of my main, if not my main childhood romodel, and that she grew me into a cool person. So your Kids Show idea is spot on; I am sure from personal experience Jaina can be a great romodel for a generation of kids.
