Rubiah Finsprocket

Personality
Rubiah is a tiny little gnome (as gnomes tend to be) who always seems to have a spring in her step and a smile on her face. She has a pudgy little body, and often has a cloak drapped down her back with the insignia of Gnomergan plastered at its apex. Slow to anger, and quick to friendship, Rubiah's personality can only be described as optimistic.

History
Rubiah had a typical life, she was born in raised in Gnomergan, early on she and her parents learned that she had the spark of genious and wonder that often made great engineers, so spent her childhood and teenage years in school learning the finer points of mathematics, physics, and engineering.

Sadly, although she was talented, although she had the sort of personality that made legends like Mekkatorque, or Brymidaine Zecker, she could never quite invent anything that made her famous. She was thrown into a deep depression and locked herself away in her workshop for many years, only coming from her shell to run for her life as Thermaplugg's betrayal smoked out the Gnomish people.

It was outside in the world of humans, dwarves, and elves where she learned her calling. She was well able to work under stress, and had a sharp eye, so soon found herself with the Alliance forces as a gunner, serving the Alliance as scout, bomber, and fighter in The Eastern Kingdoms and the Northrend Campaign both. The horrors of war didn't effect her much, seeing her beloved tinker city fall made mountains of corpses and raised allies have little effect on her psyche.

Currently
Currently Rubiah is retired, while she enjoyed her time making a name for Gnomes with the Alliance forces, she's grown bored of her work with them, and wishes to return to inventing for the sake of inventing.

When not in her Ironforge workshop, she can be found patrolling Ironforge and Darnassus for her new friends and loved ones. She has been fortunate in this respect. Due to her depression in early years, she gained few friends and lost most of them. But after leaving the military she found many, who have taught her many things about love and about life, things most learn early on, but she missed. So much has this effected her that she has dedicated her tinkering to helping others experience their love for each other to even greater extents, such tinkering she has been quite efficient at making, and this has made her happier than she's ever been.
