I'm surprised no one mentioned this before, but this NPC seems to be a pretty obvious reference to the lead singer of the rockband Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose. Even some quotes refer to famous songs of the band, for example:

Rosey Axlerod says: 'Sweet child', pappy'd always call me. Well, what we're plannin' for these Horde vermin ain't so sweet!

Which is of course a reference to the song "Sweet Child o' Mine". Guns N' Roses also made a song which is simply called "Patience", while this NPC is placed in a scenario called "A little patience".

Well, but the one thing I can't understand is why the hell this NPC is a female gnome with pink hair...

This NPC is associated with the Gnomish defense in the "A Little Patience" scenario, which can be built to obtain the achievement Which Came First?.

First, to queue for a Mists of Pandaria scenario solo, go to the top of Mogu'shan Palace in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms (if you have flying), or speak to Mishi, the small flying serpent at the base of Shrine of Two Moons/Shrine of Seven Stars (bottom floor) to have him fly you to the top of Mogu'shan palace - this is where the archaeology/Lorewalkers NPCs are.

Lorewalker Fu is the solo scenario queue NPC. Talk to him and click "Tell me of how Varian and Tyrande learned a Little Patience" - which essentially queues you for the scenario.

At this point, you can look for the defenses you need. The way to do that right at the start is to look for the proper NPCs on your map - the defenses will show up as two speech bubbles on the map (it takes about 10-15 seconds after the start of the scenario for them to show up).
Rosey Axlerod - Gnomish defense, grants Which Came First?
Ferra Pearl - Night Elf defense, grants I Used To Love Them
Duff McStrum - Dwarf defense, grants Cannonballer
Elder Adler - Jinyu defense, grants Bubbletrapped!
Master Brownstone - Pandaren defense, grants We've Been Dancin'

If the two that randomly spawn aren't the ones you need, simply leave the instance and queue again
The next instance will have 2 random new defenses active (which may be repeats, given RNG, or different). This can be done over and over without a penalty, so you just keep leaving and re-queuing to get all five achievements! Keep in mind that as soon as the defense is complete, you get the achievement - therefore you can leave and re-queue as soon as that happens.
