Any chance of choosing a different word? It has an entirely different meaning for much of the English-speaking world. See http://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.ch/2011/08/spunk-and-spunky.html

Perhaps "spirited"?

👍 even though I'm in Canada, I've watched enough British comedies to associate with the slang meaning, rather than what was intended.

It's the inner Sid James speaking, I actually quite like the unintended double entendre, hur fnurgh.

Can I put 'plucky' out there as an alternative? Has essentially the same meaning without the sexual connotation.

As a native British English speaker I'd never heard of "moxie" and had to
google it.

I like "plucky" but wonder if the whole paragraph should be revised as we
move from pre-release phase.
