Anno

Born to a large family of bright tinkerers and mages, she did her utmost to try further her skill as a tinker, but to no avail and also tried her hand at becoming a mage but with no luck, letting her instead to take on the mantle of her old friend and mentor, a dwarven paladin by the name of Egram Brightbeard, thus resulting in her name Moxie Brightspark.

## Description

Moxie stands slightly taller than the other women of her family, her eyes consist of an emerald hue that glisten with hope and warmth, and when she is not clad in heavier armor, she can often be seen with a simple tunic and a pair of trousers with too many pouches. She often tries to carry herself with a bit of pride and honor.

## Personality

Moxie as per her name is a brave gnome that sought to embrace her family's traditions, but spent more time with a dwarf by the name of Egram Brightbeard, a Paladin of some note within Ironforge, though he was a busy man he grew a closely-knit friendship with Moxie. And that is in turn what molded Moxie into what she is today, she seeks to make her friend proud and often find herself wanting to be challenged, she does not seek battles but would not hesitate to involve herself if there is injustice happening in front of her.

### Early Life

10 years before the First War, Moxirazzi Fizzlespark was born to a family of tinkerers and arcanists and she had large shoes to fill, having taken on the name of the father, she was expected to become a Tinkerer just like her Father and several of the siblings. During her childhood she was taught about the values of Tinkerers and how to write and read, as expected of gnomes. Moxie's mother was an Arcanist who once served the Kirin Tor, the Magocratic faction of the Kingdom of Dalaran, a path they intended for Moxie to take aswell, as soon as her studies in Gnomeregan comes to an end. The First War broke out while she was still a child and while the gnomes did little to aid the destruction of Stormwind City, Moxie's father, Romas sent many of his machinations to keep the Stormwind Refugees safe, without any need for reward or credit, solely to keep the people safe.

Prior to the second war breaking out, Moxie would be sent to Dalaran to pursue the path of arcane instead, as her engineering skill was sorely lacking, instead they hoped she'd become a good mage, much like her mother. In Dalaran she drew a lot of attention primarily due her small stature, being a gnome - while the Kirin Tor had dealt with gnomes before, they weren't as common as the humans or elves, seeking an education in Dalaran. Dwarves were also unheard of, However a bright dwarven cleric often visited Dalaran to peruse the library on any notes of the light, under the watchful eye of the Librarians, once the Second War broke out, he stopped visiting, having gone to join the recently formed Order of the Silver Hand.

### Kirin Tor

    Despite having been sent to Dalaran, Moxie's connection to the Arcane was feeble, to say the least. Most of the practises she barely managed to create what she was meant to do, often causing her to be ridiculed by her fellow students as they were all accomplished arcanists, however the theory behind it was understood by Moxie, but she could not put it to practise, and so her studies took time, the years passed and the former students became teachers and Arcanists in their own right, while Moxie remained behind, still trying to master the Arcane, even if the teachers themselves told her to stop, she never did.

The Third War continued to rage across the Northern Kingdoms and Moxie was stuck within Dalaran, unaware that the armies of the scourge were making its way to the gates of Dalaran, as the scourge invaded, the studies stopped and they all had to do what they could to fend the scourge off, but for every member that died, the armies of the scourge grew, while Moxie did her utmost, she was the one being protected, irritation grew and she watched her fellow students and teachers being killed, one by one, without any way of helping them, she prayed as she did, a dwarf was in the thick of it all, clad in bright yet worn armor, his face riddled with scars, and as she witnessed the Paladin she continued to pray, hoping for a response, any response.

    Eventually the light between her palms grew, drawing the attention of the skeletons that immediately sought to rush the gnome, as they did, finally Moxie was able to call upon something, it was not the Arcane, nor any of her father's creations, it was bright and yellow, a large barrier arose, becoming a beacon to protect those that sought to keep Moxie safe, as the skeletons touched the surface of the Light, they burned up in a holy light, the dwarf noted the bright light and joined Moxie, forging a path through the hordes of scourge. As Moxie and Egram burst through the ranks of the undead, eventually they would be saved by Jaina during her preparations, saving them alongside those they protected, while gathering any survivors they could find to eventually set sail for Kalimdor.

## Abilities

    While Moxie originally sought to become a famed Arcanist much like her mother, the Arcane barely responded to her and did not recognize the young gnome, however the Light would instead make itself known to her during her time of need.

**Holy Light:** During her time in Dalaran the studies of the Arcane gave little result, but when Dalaran was attacked, the Light responded to her unlike anything had ever done before.

* **Holy Barrier:** Despite not having been able to form a barrier of the same strength ever since Dalaran, during the Scourge's invasion of Dalaran, her barrier kept the students and teachers safe from the incoming attacks by skeletons, smiting them as they came in contact with the Barrier.
* **Smite:** As taught by Egram, she is able to use the light as a means of smiting evil.
* **Healing:** Egram also taught her to use the light as a way of healing smaller wounds and furthering the body's regenerative qualities.

**Paladin Combat:** <TBD>

* **Ability Specifics:** See previous.
* **Ability Specifics 2:** See previous.

## Home

Moxie lives alongside her mentor Egram Brightbeard in Theramore, having received a house as a gift for having helped found Theramore and paid out of Egram's pocket.

## Companions

### Egram Brightbeard

Moxie has a close relationship with her Mentor, Egram Brightbeard, a Paladin that took the gnome under his wing, teaching her the ways of a Paladin after having witnessed the way the light responded to Moxie during the Fall of Dalaran, where she managed to save several exhausted students and teachers from the undead, ever since then - their bond has been as strong as their faiths.
