Physical Description
Slightly shorter than the average pandaren, which makes her appear somewhat dumpy. She is generally neat though there are occasionally ink or paint stains to her fur or clothes. Her hair is long and with white streaks bleached into it. She usually has it styled up with flowers or other ornamentation. Her eyes are a sky blue and always trying to take in as much of the world around her as she can. Her face is very expressive until she is in 'teacher mode' when she takes on an air of calm determination and keeps her expression to match.

Personality
A generally cheerful individual though prone to allowing herself to become bogged down with stress. She is deeply caring and protective of those she meets and especially those that she considers her 'students'. She is not very perceptive of the world around her, especially if she is focused on a task. This often leads to her being sneaked up on easily.

She has a great love for art, life, family and brew.

History
Grew up on her Grandfather's farm in the Valley of Four Winds. Neither of her parents were generally around much as she grew up; her father travelled around as a wandering warrior and her mother was a scout for the shado-pan. Her elder brother as well left to wander and she didn't see him again for many years.

Her love of stories originally made the young pandaren wish to learn the ways of the lorewalker. Whilst she hasn't given up on this dream she realised during her training as mist weaver that she had a knack and love for teaching whilst helping out other students. She left her training at the temple to instead train as a teacher and went on to work as a teacher of children whilst also giving classes in a variety of subjects to older students.

When the war of the Horde and Alliance arrived on the shores of Pandaria, Quingge found herself fascinated with the new opportunities and knowledge these newcomers presented. Speaking with some of the Dawnchasers that passed through the village she was in led to her traveling to the horde capital of Orgrimmar just as Vol'jin's revolution hit full swing. After the initial culture shock, Quingge restarted her classes with the encouragement of Elder Wirha. She now teaches classes in art and poetry around the major horde cities every two weeks to provide a place of calm and tranquillity in the storm of war.
