Appearance

She is often dressed in some sort of chain mail, and carries around an extra set of clothes. One set in particular is worn for hunting, and includes a helm made from an animal's pelt, and she wears this set the most. The other set she carries with her is much lighter, and doesn't cover her arms. She wears this other set in warmer weather and regions.

Other: She has one scar across her stomach that is a rather tender and weak point. She also has a ram for traveling and carrying her extra gear and tools for hunting.

Personality

Anelli tries to be a practical gnome, she's the type that prefers to get straight to the point rather than beating around the bush. She is tough and independent, perhaps a bit too independent, as she doesn't even let sickness or weakness hold her back from her lifestyle. She's always ready to fight, and always ready to help out the innocent and the weak.

She has yet to express many prejudices to other races, as her personal experience with them are few, and she will not turn down a friendly fight nor spar no matter what race she faces. She believes that broadening her experience with different people will perhaps prepare her for times when she will perhaps have to face them in combat.

When it comes to her morals some of them are flexible, while others stern. She has no qualms with mercenary work, gambling, or dealing with or delivering questionable substances, but she is strongly against slavery and prostitution which she believes debases innocent people. Much to her dismay her colleagues had contemplated such trades which she quickly argued against. Should anyone she affiliate with so much as attempt to enslave another then she will cut off from them completely.

History

Anelli was born the second and youngest child of a small tinkering family in Gnomeregan. She had a single big brother who was six years older than her, who enjoyed picking on her and pulling at her hair, and two loving parents who wanted her to have an enriching childhood in the ways of engineering. Like her brother she wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Blackscrew family, and make all sorts of wonderful inventions and machines that would surely benefit her own people as well as the other races of Azeroth.

However, she had picked up other interests as well. She was a curious gnome and loved exploring, and would often set out into Dun Morogh on a daily basis, keeping close to the roads because she knew they were safe with the patrolling dwarfs. It also served as a nice break from the drama of her sibling rivalry. She enjoyed nothing more than playing in the snow, trying to climb some of the trees, and sometimes chasing after the rabbits.

However, one day she strayed a bit too far from the road. While setting off after one of the little critters, she had been pounced upon by one of the snow leopards in the area. Her cries for help were quickly met with a gunshot, and before the beast could deal to her any fatal wounds it had fallen dead to a dwarven hunter in the area. He quickly took the young gnome back to his home in Kharanos where he nursed her back to health over the next few days.

When she had made a full recovery he had set out to escort her back to her home in Gnomeregan, but when they arrived both had received the news of the recent invasion of the Troggs, and the imminent gassing to try and remove them. It was too dangerous to go back in, so the hunter decided to keep Anelli until they could determine the outcome of what happened in Gnomeregan.

The young gnome was worried but agreed to stay in Kharanos until it was safe. Day after day she waited for news on how the war was going, and what happened to the Blackscrew family. Of the families that escaped Gnomeregan, the Blackscrews were not one of them, and it was only assumed that her family died and she became orphaned by the invasion on her homeland. By now the benevolent dwarf that had taken care of her decided to adopt her, and help raise her.

She had a hard time coping with the loss of her family, and did whatever she could to distract herself from the tragedy. Anelli decided to tag along with her surrogate father, and do more things with him, as in her eyes he was her new family. She came with him hunting, and he taught her how to use a gun and how to fend for herself in the wild. Over time she lost touch with her tinkering interests, and became more interested in the quiet solitude of nature, and depending on herself and the hunt to survive.

She learned how to shoot a gun, how to skin, how to make her own fire and cook her own meals, and fish if she was ever close to water. She even practiced some skills in fighting at the side, taking up a pair of sword and practicing daily with a training dummy, or sparring with some of the local dwarfs.

By the time she became a fully grown gnome, Anelli was a fully fledged hunter, and an independent, young woman. She decided now was the time to set out, and make something of her life. While she didn't end up being very gnome-like in the end, she decided to don the cape and tabard of Gnomeregan in honor of her heritage. Anelli traveled from Ironforge to Stormwind, and soon many other places in the Eastern Kingdoms. Her travels eventually brought her to Booty Bay, where she befriended a strange and eccentric Night Elf, who she would eventually come to know as her colleague in a mercenary group heading by both him and a Tauren. While she travels about, she often returns to Booty Bay for her next job, where she can put her fighting to good use while making money at the side.
