## Biography

Born into Gnomeregan October 8th, 523 K.Y. by what many have rumored to be mitosis between Albert Springstep and Dixie Arcanocog, she was given the name Moxie at birth. As the months following the birth and several quite heated debates and hundreds of presentations, Albert conceded his surname, giving Dixie the win to pass hers down to Moxie, previously known as Moxie Arcanocog.

Growing up she would always pal around with her cousin, Darci, finding new and interesting things to explore. Darci became interested in nature and animals, while Moxie became infatuated about the use of the Arcane. This spark of passion is what led Moxie to shadow-author and research hundreds of different articles and papers on the use of the Arcane. At one point, she began to co-author research papers for the mages of Dalaran.

When the first war came around, Moxie dived deep into the rumored monsters that whispered across the Southern half of the Eastern Kingdoms. Conducting observation and research into what we would now know today as the Orcish people. Returning her findings to Gnomeregan and Khaz Modan she would present her findings to her Library of Magical Knowledge and Research for archival.

As the second war started, Moxie was working in the field researching an obelisk she found. When she attempted to return her research to Gnomeregan, she found it occupied by foreign invaders. Since she identified where the invaders came from, she sought power. Power to aid in freeing her people. She would start by creating small gnome sized portals to exfiltrate gnome magi to the city of Dalaran. When her people were liberated by the humans, she liked them, pledged her service to the Grand Alliance.

Without permission, she went to go find the source of the orcs and sneaked her way onto what was previously known as Draenor, now known as Outland. She was there for the final moments as Draenor became Outland. Her curiosity found her stuck on floating rock drifting through the Twisting Nether. The mage did the best she could to summon a portal to Azeroth, with practice after practice she never could get through. This caused her to seek nearby foci of power, foci that Demons were searching for as well. Short distance teleporting was generally easier for the gnome due to her size. Living off conjured food for the near future. It was at this time that the rumor of Moxie running off to join the Darkmoon Faire started.

With each teleport she found herself closer and closer in proximity to demons. The imps took a fondness to Moxie since she was larger than most of them and capable of interesting fire spells. Moxie began to live under the guise as an imp until the demon's intentions became clear. Her very body began to change by the use of fel to maintain her guise as head imp in charge. From the inside out, each teleport began an infiltration and destruction of Burning Legion forces until she found a foci strong enough to reach Azeroth. This was when she took the surname Impfang and dropped Arcanocog, to symbolize her accomplishments.

When the Dark Portal opened once more, that was her queue. She launched her form through the Twisting Nether and out of the Dark Portal by tunneling within the portal's gateway itself. Some time had past, she had missed the third war. With her new found knowledge, she went to return to her Library of Magical Knowledge and Research, only to find it locked within Gnomeregan after the Great Trogg War. The gnome compacted the Library into a crate of holding and smuggled it out of her irradiated home and made her way to Stormwind's Mages District. This was where she would house her crate and continue her research study in a highly controlled pocket dimension that housed her Library of Magical Knowledge and Research.

Her return home was short lived as she was called to the Broken Shore to help fight the Legion's return. With her expertise, she pushed through their forces with relative ease. Crushing them and sending them back to the Twisting Nether. At this time, she hunted the imp mothers and their dwellings. She'd pull them from the fel pools as they hid from her, Moxie Impfang. The imp mothers already knew of her from when the fought them the first time. Within the Twisting Nether, it was unknown to Moxie how long she has been within while fighting demons. It was enough though, for the imp mothers to be warned of her name as they returned.

During her walks through Stormwind she found an interesting individual she would come to know as Finnegan Quill. She was filled with intrigue as she learned more and more about his history. Eventually they would become great friends where she officiated his first marriage. Over time, her and Finnegan gained in trust to one another which eventually led to Finnegan to gift the Barony of Sanctuario De Gatos to her. Of which, she kindly accepted after more gnomes have became prevalent within the Kingdom of Stormwind. It was important to her that she represents her people.
