Family
Father: Gidden Jinglewhizz. Mother: Unknown.

Background
Born and raised in Gnomeregan, Tilley was in her teens when the city fell. After fleeing Gnomeregan with her father, the pair set up a new home in Ironforge. Her father, not the most skilled inventor was unable to continue his passion to his fullest, and grew more and more depressed as he lost himself in thoughts of home. With the debt mounting up, Gidden tried to sell what inventions of his own he had saved when fleeing Gnomeregan.

However, the only invention that proved of any interest to anyone was a small device. Devised to be a conceptual source of motion energy, it failed to live up to expectations. Dejected, Gidden almost gave everything up as lost, until Tilley noticed that it served a more popular use of amusing babies and young children with its short bursts of speed and sounds.

Very soon, the father and daughter pair had made a small business out of selling the power source-come-child's toy. Pretty soon, Gidden had turned his life around and had retired from inventing to run a toy store, with Tilley helping sell and manage the business.

As the store became more self-sufficient, Tilley decided she wanted to pursue her own ventures, and hired a gnome to help Gidden run the business, and she left home. Her working adventures ended up with her working for the Venture Trading Company, and has ascended the business ranks to become a Project Manager for the company. Her work has taken her up and down Azeroth, as far as the Undermine itself, to the courts of the Goblin Merchant Princes.

Tilley has recently returned to the Ironforge/Stormwind districts to promote VC-275, a project to cleanse Gnomeregan of its radiation and to reclaim and rebuild. After presenting the project to the Alliance Council for approval, Tilley found herself snubbed for "bickering Humans" and "rambling soldiers" - something that infuriated Tilley to believe that Gnomes are still looked down upon by the other races.

Family Background
She was an only child, raised by her father Gidden Jinglewhizz, who was seperated from his wife after he found her "admiring another's torque wrench." Gidden Jinglewhizz was not a successful inventor, and was seen more as a punchline to many gnome jokes, his most successful invention being a child's toy.

An example of the sort of joke that the other gnome inventors would use about Gidden include: "So I heard that Gidden has devised a flying machine... too bad it can only fly on the ground!"

Criminal Record
Tilley has kept a clean profile.

Personal Notes
Tilley is a smart woman, sharp minded and always considering the profitable route. She speaks with a demanding tone, and has little tolerance for ignorance and stupidity, and will sneer and condescend people she considered idiots.

She has a dislike for soldiers and military, citing that she finds Ironforge Soldiers to be too rowdy, and Stormwind soldiers to be "aloof tin cans," prefering the company of other Gnomes.

Her years of hard work and dedication to the Venture Trading Company has given her a fairly competent understanding of the Goblin Tounge, and when agitated, she will often curse in Goblin, sure that very few would understand.

Current Status
Agitated at the lack of respect she has received from the Alliance Council.
