Usual Garments/Armor: As herself, she is usually wearing tight black leather and a dark pair of battle-goggles, and she has two knives at her waist. As Lianna, she is probably wearing expensive cloth with a cape, no goggles, and no weapons. As Redsy, she is wearing blue-ish leather work-clothes, a lighter pair of engineering goggles, and a wrench at her waist. She is liable to make up a new persona and find a new outfit, though.

Personality: In reality, Allie has what could be called an "average" personality. She isn't overly dark, overly cheerful, overly anti-social, or overly dedicated to anything. She enjoys having a good time and long walks on the beach and all that good stuff.

Her current disguises, however, have more colorful personalities. Lianna Spincog is a rich Gnomish investor who's always the bubbly, cheerful, and curious-about-everything Gnomish stereotype. Redsy McBolt is a tomboy engineer who reinforces a different Gnomish stereotype of the inventor-engineer who loves nothing more than crafting exciting new inventions.

History: Gnomeregan was not a boring city to grow up in, by any means. The city itself being one of the greatest technological wonders on Azeroth provided many opportunities for excitement for a young Gnomish citizen like Allie. Her family was wealthy, so her education was the finest as well.

Allie enjoyed learning, and she enjoyed engineering well enough, but she always felt that it was more of a hobby than a career for her. She liked the finished products more than their creation. This spurred the young Gnome to try shooting. Shooting guns was fun. She also learned how to use knives. Knives were fun too. Although Allie enjoyed her martial training, she was never all that into heavier weapons and armor. She chose speed and stealth over strength.

She had the chance to use her new skills in the field during the Second War. Gnomeregan did not contribute many troops because its standing army was very small, but she was one of the few who did go to war against the Orcish Horde. Because of their size (and field of expertise) Allie's squad was given the task of reconnaissance, spying on the Horde. They were deemed quite useful.

After returning from the Second War, Allie's new job was to train others who wished to follow the same path. She enjoyed teaching younger Gnomes about the basics of roguery, and she was enjoying her settled life. Theeeeeennn the Troggs came! Yay! War, death, and destruction! The open-war combatants were needed more than spies and assassins. Allie and her students and coworkers fled the city with all the belongings that the "Baggage-O-Matic 6000" could carry for them and went to Ironforge.

And then Mekgineer Sicco Thermaplugg, advisor to High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque, came up with a great plan to cleanse Gnomeregan and rid the city of the evil troggs. This amazing plan was to detonate a radiation bomb right in the middle of the city. This succeeded in turning the remaining Gnome population in Gnomeregan into lepers and giving the troggs strength and power from the radiation. Of course, this also gave Mekgineer Thermaplugg the chance to declare himself King of the Gnomes and take over the lepers.

Allie was never part of any reclamation efforts. After sulking for a while, her new task was a different one. Allie was to lead an off-branch of the new "Gnomeregan Covert Ops" to help ensure the safe and continued future of the Gnomish race at home and abroad. She and the other Gnomes chosen for the job were sent to Stormwind to learn techniques from SI:7 before beginning their mission. Allie's tasks have included improving relations with other races, making sure those pesky Goblins aren't up to anything nasty, and protecting Gnomish settlements abroad such as Toshley's Station in Outland and the Fizzcrank Airstrip in Northrend. In addition, she has also worked to make sure that that the Gnomish officials hear of all new research into the Titan origins of the Gnomes as a race.

Allie recently came up with several new disguise-personas to help get her job done. The main two have already been discussed in the Personality section.
