Personality
Alignment: Lawful neutral.
Personality: Ibby has a very workaholic attitude toward her interests. Since she experiments with alchemy and is working on bettering her understanding of engineering in addition to her magical studies, she rarely is seen merely sitting about and doing nothing. Even when sitting at a tavern to drink, she will often have a hefty file of data from tests or be brainstorming new ideas for one of her three fields of major interest. Most of her work is dedicated to the utter annihilation of anyone that the Alliance, and in particular her fellow gnomes, deem as an enemy.
She also believes in following the letter of the law, and frowns heavily upon those who break it. While she isn't necessarily one who feels the need to report every minor infringement of law she sees, especially if she is in the middle of work, she doesn't knowingly work toward breaking them or aiding others to do so.
History: Ibby was brought up in a small home, a short distance away from Dun Morogh. She lived here with her brother, Tarkis, and her father. While her brother had taken on the family business of engineering with his full being, Ibby never had more than a passing interest in the subject.
She helped somewhat, but her skills at her father's work of production of rifles was lacking in the same quality that her father and Tarkis had. With her father's blessing, she began to study into the arcane, moving herself to Ironforge to do so.
She became almost entirely reclusive in the city, so much so that she was unaware that her brother had moved to the city and been there for several years by the time she felt adequately advanced in her studies to be tempted into taking a break. After a brief visit, both went their seperate ways, Ibby moving into the field of alchemy. Never learning much about the gathering of herbs, she would barter her finished works and potions for more raw materials to work with, and sometimes a little coin as well. In this way, she was able to start storing money away.
At the age of fourty five, she began to wander to more exotic locals. From human cities to goblin-held ports, she saw many things. Things of bounty, but also the ravages of conflict. The decision was made to devote her works to the creation of new weaponry to aid her allies. The deadlier the weapons, the fewer people would die.
Well, fewer people on her side, anyway. And that was all that mattered.
