World of Warcraft Blizzard - Image 1


If you've wandered around Stratholme recently in Blizzard's World of Warcraft, you may have come across one very mysterious name: Angelista. Keen-eyed adventurers may have noticed a boutique named "Angelista's Boutique," and may have seen some items bearing her name. But who is Angelista, really?

Angelista doesn't seem to have any lore tied to her name, and because of this WoWInsider readers began to speculate as to the identity behind the name attached to the following items: Angelista's Charm, Angelista's Revenge, Angelista's Sash, so on and so forth.

Some readers guessed that this Angelista is probably affiliated with Blizzard, or is related to a Blizzard staff member. This theory is plausible; a WoW info resource site mentioned that her name is actually listed in the "Special Thanks" section in the WoW credits roll.

Will we ever find out the real score, however? Will we encounter her in a future Caverns of Time instance? Whether we find out who this person behind the name really is or not, it's just good to note that there's joy in spotting minute yet interesting details in Azeroth.

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!
