Angelista? Who the heck is that?
I've been looking through patch 2.4's loot tables fairly frequently, and just the other night one piece in particular really jumped out at me. Angelista's Revenge. Yes, good ol' Angelista is back yet again.
There's no lore or backstory for Angelista, she's not really a lore figure at all. Like Foror and Styleen, Angelista is a just a little plug for a Blizzard employee, or friend/family member of a Blizzard employee. We don't know exactly who she is, but it's fun to see all of the signs pointing to her that crop up. Ahn'Qiraj, Stratholme(see above), Blackwing Lair, and now the Sunwell.
Even though I know there's no real lore for Angelista, I have a mind obsessed with story telling, so I started to wonder what she would be like if she was a Warcraft figure. Her name sounds like a Priest, but her equipment definitely isn't priest-like. There's cloth belts in BWL and Mount Hyjal, a melee DPS ring in 2.4, a tanking ring and healing neck in Ahn'Qiraj... the only classes Angelista could possibly be are a very, very confused Shaman, Paladin or Druid.
Of course, Angelista apparently had a shop in Stratholme: Angelista's Boutique. She couldn't be a Druid or a Shaman, Humans don't know much about being either of those. Maybe she didn't wear this gear at all, and was actually a master crafts(wo)man. Jewelcrafter/Tailor, selling her wares in Stratholme. Adventurers made their purchase(first generation badge gear?), went out to see the world, and were inevitably slaughtered by the great evils in all corners of Azeroth.
Where is Angelista now, though? Did she survive the great culling of Stratholme? Will we see her in the Caverns of Time: Stratholme? Am I thinking about this way too much? Probably!
