A short, short-form story about Chromie's early history is included in the collection of various tales from across WoW mythology buy WoTLK Gold, which some players have received prior to the official May 25 release date. The story's narrator opens by speaking of Chromie as he or she, however, after Chromie undergoes a right of passage, known as the Visage Ceremony, the character is addressed as she/him in both dragon and gnome forms.

WoW protagonist Steve Danuser jumped on Twitter to clarify fan questions about Chromie's pronouns.

@SteveDanuser hi! Many of us are asking questions about what you're doing with the Chromie story. There's a bit of confusion regarding the reveal, which is why it would be fantastic for you to clarify things a bit. Does she have to be gender fluid (always she) or gender fluid (she is a gnome and he's a dragon)?

Since a lot of fans have been speculated that Chromie was trans or gender-fluid it's nice to be able to see Blizzard officially acknowledge the fact and provide the background of the character after many years.

Chromie isn't the only transcharacter to appear in the WoW universe However, she's the most prominent. She first appeared in the original version of WoW as a quest-giving NPC situated in a deserted encampment within the Western Plaguelands. Since then, she's often been involved in any WoW storyline involving time travel, and has recently been more prominently integrated with the main game, as an NPC that lets players play older expansions as part of the leveling overhaul that occurred prior to the release of the game's most recent expansion called Shadowlands. It's also possible to see her in the announcement for WoW Classic, where she declares with conviction that "someone once told me that you could not return to your home after a while, but they did not have vision -- and a time discombobulator." Chromie is playable in Blizzard's largely abandoned MOBA buy WoW WoTLK Classic Gold, Heroes of the Storm Also.
