Danielle Vanderlip

Nethaera (sometimes shortened to "Neth") is a Blizzard employee and Community Manager for the US World of Warcraft forums. She is called Candle by some, after her forum avatar. Her real name is Danielle Vanderlip. According to a forum post, she is married.

Nethaera joined Blizzard in June 2006.

Nethaera is known to play on PVP, RP-PvP and PvE servers.

In mid-2007, Nethaera's forum account, along with Drokthul's, was hijacked (likely by a session mimic) and forced to post links to keyloggers on the official WoW forums.

An example of the posts made by the CM accounts can be seen from the following: Nethaera and Drokthul.

Nethaera is part of the Community Team that won "Best Community Management team" at Dragon*Con 2012.
