Nope, same problems as the Night Elf human offspring...they'd be 7-10 years old at the most.

would they, i thought the cataclysm was set like a few years in the past, and blood elf's and humans were allied towards the start of the (i will get this wrong i know) third war. and also alleria managed to have a couple of children and all that were ten by the time we found them in caverns of time, and the portal was closed for a while

No; Alleria's child is a half-High Elf, not a Blood Elf. The Blood Elves only showed up after the 3rd War so it's 7-10 years at the most.

Yes...but that would be a half-high elf, not a half-blood elf. Again, the Blood Elves have only been around for 10 years at the absolute most; half-elves don't go through the same withdrawal that their parent elf does, so they wouldn't have been affected by the loss of the Sunwell.

that would be easy to cover up, so many people would have been sick that they would shut them self's away till they got better, when they saw others hiding that would just keep her inside and claim she was unwell, when really she wasn't, would that be a good cover story if needed, i know there is bad blood between them, but it could be that little thing people dont need to know so is kept to herself

Again though: At the absolute most, would be 7-10 years old Kemppy, a child and not allowed to leave the BE lands.

I simply can't understand your desire to start with a half-race...
I'm sorry, but start easy. Make a human or undead, something you can easily relate to and practice writting.
I'll just let you know here; my first characterhere was a Dragon, and never have I felt like I made a larger mistake. Getting into the head of a blue drake is nt fun when one already gets lost understanding the lore of his character's race.
So I went and made a human character. Then I made an undead. I got inside their heads, figured out what mad them tick and what they wanted.
Most of all, you character needs goals; reasons they are out and adventuring. Take revenge for the murdur of your parents? Save the world? Cure undeath? Or just get some ho babes to fall in ove with you?
Next is personnality.

Go to the hero or villian pages and read through the tropes. You can then put your own spin on the stuff, but that place can help as a stepping stone.

isnt so much to play, i know it is a massive pain in the ass to figure it all out, i more want to write about it, i have sunadree down pat i know why he is going out and fighting, and i know what makes him tick, but he is full blood elf, i am just not sure how i would get into the mind of a half-ling, so i can write about it, and set everything up

They would most likely see themselves as damaged goods. Not quite belonging with either races and derided by both they may try to look more like one or the other by say trying to round their ears off to look more human or something of the ilk. No real home, seen as less than a whole but more than a half. They could be travelers as they would likely be welcome as visitors but not exactly encouraged to stay. Mob violence would probably be going too far but they would certainly be ostracized to varying degrees, it depends which culture they grew up in.
Growing up their parents would probably be either overly doting or spiteful, if they even lived that long. Tanis from Dragonlance is a pretty good character study for this type of thing but of course WoW is rather different.

well i was wanting to make her and her brother all the family they had left, after quel'thalas fell her perants tried to fight back, and fell, her brother was recently convicted of harming another and forced to do free-lance work for the rangers, so i am unsure if she would follow her big brother being so young, or try to fend for herself
