She grabbed her children and split from the Hodunks to prevent her daughter Ellie becoming the clan wife. Moxxi was originally a member of the Hodunk clan. She is a caring mother, in her own Pandoran way, and can be protective of her children and others close. Moxxi, despite her violent tastes, is also friendly and rather compassionate when fighting is not involved. She is also surprisingly refined in her tastes and mannerisms, always speaking with a seductive tone and an innuendo soon following. Her affairs are innumerable and she has had several husbands, and her lovers have been both male and female.
Modesty has little to do with Moxxi, especially when it comes to sex. She enjoys violence and combat, having been a skilled fighter in her earlier years. Moxxi could be summed up with the words sadistic, lustful, alluring, and dangerous.
She is the hostess of the Colosseum matches in The Underdome in Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, and the owner of various bars on Pandora. The official Moxxi presentation on the cover of Underdome Riot
