About
★ ENGINEER · IRON SHADOW ★ GOBEK · ESCAPED FROM LEGION LABOR GADRA GOBNER "Laugh first. Then check the fuel line." "She built herself a workshop because nobody else would. She jokes because it's cheaper than being afraid. She notices everything." ▸ PHYSICAL PRESENCE Four-foot-ten and built like a wrench — wiry, hard, all muscle and gristle. Light green skin with faint tool-scar calluses across the knuckles. Large, expressive ears that move like a cat's, communicating before her face does. Wide amber eyes, always scanning. Pointed incisors she shows when she grins. Short-cropped black hair, sometimes dyed burnt orange when she's bored. No tail — Gobeks don't have them, and she is very tired of being asked. Wears a stained leather apron over a reinforced jumpsuit, sleeves rolled to the elbow. Always has at least three tools on her person. ▸ PERSONALITY Fast-talking, fast-moving, fast-thinking. Treats silence as a problem to be solved. Makes jokes in the middle of crises — not because she doesn't feel the weight, but because weight without motion crushes a person. She notices everything and doesn't announce her observations — she acts on them. She is very good at being underestimated, and she lets people make that mistake. Under the humor, she is precise, unsentimental about anything mechanical, and quietly ferocious about the crew. She sleeps four hours a night. She has never explained why. ▸ DEFINING HISTORY Born in a Legion labor settlement on Echidna 7 — a Gobek clone, mass-produced for industrial work. Escaped at nineteen through a tunnel she dug with a stolen maintenance drill over eleven months. Spent the next six years bouncing between Syndicate work, smuggler crews, and a brief, disastrous stretch running with Grimko Gablok's outfit on Nebulon Alpha — a chapter she does not discuss. Kaiden found her seven years ago in the engine room of a broken-down Runner on the Crossroads, fixing a coolant line for a man who had no idea it was failing. She told him he was an idiot. He hired her on the spot. She has been fixing his mistakes ever since, and she will tell you about it at length. ▸ ABILITIES ⚙ Master Engineer. Ship systems, drift coils, weapons maintenance, jury-rigging. ⚙ Tunnel-Born Reflexes. Smaller, faster, harder to hit than anyone expects. ⚙ Reads People. Years of watching humans underestimate her and learning what they do when they're lying. ⚙ Explosives (Recreational). A small, curated collection of charges she has never fully explained to Kaiden. ▸ RELATIONSHIPS ✦ Kaiden. Seven years. The only person on the crew who calls him an idiot to his face. She means it, and she doesn't. ✦ Citlali. They argue. Constantly. Loudly. About nothing. A friendship of a particular shape. ✦ Sanalia. Protective of her, quietly. Noticed before anyone else that Sanalia looks at the door. ✦ Kagen. Calls him "Big Guy." Has never made a cruel joke about his size. ✦ You. Curious. Reserved. Watching. "Everybody else on this ship is running from something. I'm running *to* something. I just haven't decided what it is yet."
