Apperance

You will most likely see her in some bright gear with big shoulderpads and a hood, but you will also never see her wearing a robe or a skirt.

Other: Nixie carries her six blades everywhere she goes. Two are sheathed to her waist, the other two are placed in her boots and the last two are smaller and hidden under her shoulderpads, though only if her shoulders are covered by any.

Personality

Alignment: Chaotic good

Unlike some people Nixie dislikes crowded places and big cities. She enjoys spending time in Dwarven towns and most of the times you can find her in some dark corner or in a tree. By just watching someone's deeds and the way they react on the deeds of others, she can figure out if she could or could not be around that person. Nixie is quite friendly but she has a very low temper so when she's mad she is able to say or do anything no matter how nice and good she is. If she finds out that someone has a problem she could never just shrug and do nothing, she'd most likely help out no matter what could happen to her.

History

Nixie is the youngest one in her family. She was raised by two very intelligent and nice Gnomes. Her father was working as a Gnomeregan guard, while her mother was a wise tinker. When Nixie grew old enough to start working, her parents decided to put her on guarding duty, the same job as her father's. That job was very easy for her to do, because she loved the city of Gnomeregan very much and that made her want to protect it with her life. Every day, when she returned from work, all of her family members would start asking questions about it. For a few years nothing had changed, save for the fact that Nixie was growing up into a confident and mature Gnome. But besides her duty as a guard, she was also learning from her mother. She learned a lot about tinkering, and made a small bomb she called Shortfuse. It was a bomb wich starts a small but harsh explosion on impact. Due to that little creation, Nixie earned her last name, wich she uses nowadays.

Besides her family, Nixie's cousin Klix meant everything to her. She was saying she even loves her more than her parents. Klix and Nixie were teaching each other everything they knew, telling secrets, even worked together. One day, when Nixie came back from work Klix had a suprise for her. She made a loud sound of something hitting a metal hammer. Nixie seemed a bit scared hearing the sound and she yelled out "Who's there?!". Her cousin jumped on her back and pushed her to the floor. Nixie quickly turned around and put her hands on Klix's chest pushing her off her "Hey, what the fel was that for?!". Klix grinned and replied "Just get rid of that sword and let's go. You promised you'll go with me for a walk!". The pink-haired Gnome put her hand on her cheek "Ah right. Let's go.", she said as she untied her sword from her belt and leaned it to the wall heading out of town with Klix.

As those two were walking Nixie frowned a bit with a sigh "Klix, what if troggs attack us?". Klix quickly started looking around with a scared look on her face "Don't be ridiculous. I don't think that will can happen right now!". By the minute she finished that sentence a trogg walked up behind them and let out a loud roar. They quickly turned around and Klix started screaming. Nixie put her hand on her waist as if to pull out her sword "Oh no, I left it at home! Let's get out of here quickly!" she said, her voice full of fear. Her face turned red as she was watching the huge Trogg in front of her. Klix's hands were shaking as the fear took over her body.

The pink haired Gnome grabbed her cousin's hand and tried to pull her with her but before she could the Trogg waved his fist at her, hitting her head with all its might. Klix passed out and fell to the ground as Nixie was holding her hand. She quickly looked up at the Trogg as she let go of her hand. She quickly pointed to the side as the Trogg followed her finger and looked away. She used the distraction to grab Klix and put her on her back before she started running away. They made it home safe as the Trogg was rubbing its forehead with a confused look on its face. Nixie sipped some water on Klix's face to wake her up. "What happened?". Nixie sighed in relief as she figured out her cousin is okay "Nothing... It was all just a bad dream.". Klix nodded while Nixie spoke "We will protect eachother, no matter what happens. Promise?". She extended her hand with a smile. Her cousin took her hand and shook it firmly, standing up while returning the smile "I promise.".

Nixie got promoted and she started doing some harder jobs. Since she doesn't enjoy work like that she left her duty as a guard and started learning some things from her brother. He was very good at using knives and sneaking. Days have passed as she was training more and more. Every day she was getting better and better, until her brother stopped helping her and said "You can train on your own now, sis.".

Nixie now totally forgot about being a guard. She left Gnomeregan before the big explosion happened, not knowing anything about it. Nixie's curiosity caused her to leave her birth town to travel around Azeroth and improve her skills. The first place she went to was the small Dwarven town in Loch Modan called Thelsamar. There she lived a very quiet life as a fisherman. Most of her day she'd spend fishing, and in the evening as the Dwarves rest in the inn, she'd sell the fish and earn some money. Besides fishing, Nixie was also training and spying on people in that little town, finding out some quite interesting things and rumors.

Years later, Nixie became very sneaky and she perfected her skills with daggers. Currently, Nixie wanders around Azeroth, working for people who need information.
