Previously the start of a revamp of the Classic Night Elf Model, I've since decided to focus on just one aspect of this mod; making Tyrande a playable character. As a result, all other customisation options have been wiped from the Night Elf, leaving only Tyrande's skin and hair as options in the character creation (you can still change the hair colour).  I based her off the Tyrande model present in Legion's Ysera's Death cinematic.  She has Nightborne Female animations, real glowing eyes and custom hair as well as a custom body. She has custom jewellery that's linked to her hair (an anklet, necklace, earrings and a bracelet). The facial animations are purposely limited, despite being rigged to a HD model, due to the fact that I found the lower polygons of the Classic models look weird and warped when accurately rigged. However, she has access to all emotes, some new animations from the Nightborne and can still talk, frown and smile like a normal player would expect from a Classic model.  The difference between this model and other Tyrande models is the fact that you can equip any gear you want, like a normal player character model would. The normal Night Elf females you see as NPCs are not affected by this. This is recommended for a solo server, as all Night Elf Female player character models will look the exact same.

I hastily slapped together the DBCs for this due to the fact that my own ones are vastly different, so made them from scratch for this release. As a result, I haven't tested them extensively and may cause issues I'm not aware of (although definitely nothing as severe as crashing or corruption), so if anyone would like to help me out by letting me know  if there's anything wrong, that'd be amazing. 

This patch makes use of the following DBCs:

CharHairGeosets
CharHairTextures
CharSections
CharVariatons
ChrRaces
CreatureDisplayInfo
CreatureModelData

and as such, will conflict with any mods that use these DBCs - INCLUDING THE HD MODEL/CREATURE PATCHES! I personally don't use either, so this isn't a big deal for me, but I'm aware that most of the WoW modding population do enjoy the HD models.  If you would like to use this, you will need to disable any MPQs that alter the creature or character models via DBCs, or place it at the bottom of your load order (Patch-Z being the lowest).

This is supposed to be the start of a set, and if people like it, I shall release a playable pre-demon Illidan in the same vein later on.
