Personality
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Alisha is a carefree lass. She flies by the seat of her pants and give little regard to tomorrow. Her motto could be, "I ain't here for a long time, I'm just here for a good time." Alisha is more book-smart than street-smart. While this is helpful for her engineering and current situation, it can make her seem ignorant of the larger picture. She cares about her family, but finds them a bit too restricting at times. Her mind is usually spinning ideas haphazardly without regard of her current situation. This makes Alisha seem restless and unable to relax without some sort of aid. She is a woman that has worked alongside the army and has picked up some of their vices.
History
Alisha was born in Ironforge, Dun Morogh during the First War. Her family were refugees from the now ruined Stormwind. Alisha's father found work a miner and mother a tinkerer. They did the best they could running a small shop making simple jewelery. Her childhood consisted mostly of schooling, ice-fishing and arguing with her little brother. A few years later the news of success of the Second War reached the family. Her parents were ready to head to a human town and decided a rustic life in Lakeshire would be a good place to raise their children. Alisha herself was ready to see something besides stone-dwarf walls, but took her gnomish new hobby of tinkering with her.
Her teenage years were spent in her parent's shop fine-tuning her tinkering skills. When she was seventeen, a letter came in the mail from a friend from Ironforge. It stated that some gnomes had gathered to open a engineering apprenticeship program. Alisha was excited to learn something new, and convinced her parents to let her return to Ironforge. Over the next few years she worked for the gnomes and honed her skills. It was easy work in a shop, and her physique began to slip.
News of a opening of a Portal to a new world reached Ironforge. Alisha was pretty excited to explore something new, but realized it would be dangerous to go with the first wave of soldiers. Eager to prepare herself, she dropped out of the apprenticeship and took up martial training under a dwarf. She clearly lacked the discipline and physique for militia training, so the dwarf referred her to one of his friends. For couple years she learned one does not have to stand toe-to-toe in a fight to win. Her training seemed to complement her engineering skills, and she began to experiment blending them into her own fighting style.
Alisha has spent the last two years on just the other side of the Dark Portal in Honor Hold, Hellfire Peninsula. She keeps busy lending a hand where she can and exploring the remains of Draenor. She still travels to Azeroth for new or rare schematics and to see her family.
Skills and Abilities
Alisha relies more on her engineering than pure battle prowess. She is skilled in debilitating enemies with various traps and trinkets. She is not above the use of cheap tricks such as caltrops, blinding powder and a well-placed kick. When all else fails, she can use her cutlass with enough skill to warrant carrying it.
