Cinty Cindersprocket

Cinty Cindersprocket the Second is a gnomish engineer who lives in Stormwind and works for the newspaper, Quill and Cobblestones. She positively marvels in all forms of engineering, and has always had a love of magic.

Background
Cinty was the child of Candennery Cindersprocket and Cinty Cindersprocket, two aspiring engineers in Gnomeregan, and is the sister of Candy Cindersprocket. Cinty first showed her skills for magic when her father was joyfully showing baby Cinty some inventions - a squirrel, a blowtorch, etc. - when she suddenly let off a spark of flame from her hand. Her father jumped for joy, having finally aquired a mage in the family, and started reading to her from magic books. She never really cared, though, and when she gained speech, she always asked her father to read the the traditional bedtime stories, like Engineering Through the Ages or Manual 486 of the Gyrothermatic Engine Drive. An incredibly intelligent gnome, Cinty first made a proper gizmo when working with her mother on a few small components; Cinty had been messing around and uccessfully made a walking, sound-emitting toothbrush. When Cinty Jr.'s father died in an unfortunate apple-based explosion, her mother took Cinty into increased seclusion, never letting Cinty go out of her mother's sight. Eventually, the Troggs invaded Gnomeregan, and Cinty's mother didn't manage to escape, and was caught in the initial stampede of Troggs, gnomes, machines and fumes. Cinty and her sister, Candy (pronounced "Sandy"), managed to escape with their lives, but were scarred for life. They made their way to Ironforge with the rest of the exiles, crying all the way, and lived together for a good few years, working on inventions. Years later, Cinty was invited to join the Gnomish Union, so she set off to Stormwind, where she hoped she could have better luck making a living. Candy Cindersprocket went off to be an explorer, location currently known only to Cinty. When Cinty decided to learn more about magic, she joined the University of Dalaran, where she proved to many humans that she was remarkably intelligent, although she did somehow manage to set fire to a water elemental.

Cinty eventually "LEFT" the university for the life of a Journalist, where she was sure she could make her fortune. She joined the Quill and Cobblestones crew, and took up permanent residence in Stormwind. You can now find her in the Pig and Whistle Tavern, where she unsuccessfully relaxes, and where she works on her engineering, such as a new typewriter for the Quill. Progress on the Typewriter is known to be heavy.

Cinty is a level 15 gnome mage.

Squirrel
Cinty's greatest invention to date is probably her Utility Squirrel, which she is never seen without. It has the appearance of a regular mechanical squirrel but, on closer inspection, seems to have extentions and doodads EVERYWHERE. Known gizmos in the squirrel include:

- A Candle Lighter (is known to make candles explode, to leave large smoking holes in the wall and to make other machines melt).

- A flash-emitter (for photography). - A, inter-squirrel communication device (a phone used to communicate with other Squirrel phones. The only other one is owned by Candy).

- A tail-fan (the tail turns into a fan).

- A chicken-crest extender (Seems to make a large "WHOOOOOO" noise).

- Voice recognition (It can understand Cinty's voice).

- Gas emitter (Known gases: Sleepy gas, eye-burning gas, smelly gas and fire gas).

- Noise Recorder and Emitter (known recordings: several Tauren Chieftain musics).

- Stungun.

- Regular gun.

- Targetter.

- Gyromatic Jumping Device (lets the squirrel kick things so hard they get a detn in them. Known to break legs).

- Various sound emitters (Alarm Clock, Ringtone, etc.).

- Clock.

- Spare Parts.

And many more gizmos that Cinty can't even remember putting in.
