Description:

Kanni has bright skin, pink hair, sky-blue eyes and a round, soft face with puffy lips that give her a sweet girlish prettiness, though the scars of a violent life are visible across much of her body.

Personality:

Kanni is loud and obnoxious, verbally abrasive and physically abusive. She tends towards physical violence when angered, holds grudges, and is extremely proficient at building and utilizing explosives, all making for a very poor combination.

History:

Born the eighth and last child of Albax and Mara Blackcog, two of the most genius inventors of recent Gnomish history, Kanni grew up in the care of her older siblings - Celinda, Melcin, Jaros, Nennin, Haylid, Isole and Berna - forming a close bond with her brothers Melcin and Jaros in particular. She grew into a feisty, aggressive child eager to start fights and put an end to them on her own terms.

When the Troggs invaded Gnomeregan, Kanni was too young to fight them and remained with her mother, and when Gnomeregan was irradiated she was trapped inside, and watched as those who remained - including most of her family - succumbed to radiation sickess and perished. Sturdy and persistent, Kanni refused to die and armed only with steel saw managed to fight her way through throngs of irradiated, enraged troggs into a Clean Zone.

After successfully escaping Gnomeregan years later, Kanni found herself unwelcome among her own people, her ability to survive through her own wits and sheer brutality fitting poorly with the largely peaceful Gnomeregan Exiles. She chose to leave Ironforge and become a mercenary, travelling the world and visiting violence upon people for profit, and it was a life that suited her extremely well.
