What, you're actually looking to run into this crazy bird?
Tinkerer
First and foremost, Sveta's a tinkerer, and has found work for the newly-restored House Longtail. She's looking to specialise in a few fields, mainly metalworking and gadgetry, and is particularly interested in applied kevinscoping in those fields. Forgets to eat, forgets to sleep, and often gets overexcited about news from the Academy, although she was never formally trained in magic. Instead of looking purely to the fields of mechanics or mathemagic, she seeks to combine various disciplines in interesting ways and hence is a dabbler in many of them.
She's not exactly the best at creating *new* things, but does her best to improve upon other peoples' ideas and inventions.
Obsessive Learner
Athletics? Weapons? Magic? How to pick a lock? Which kinds of yellow-spotted fruit in Eastbank are delicious, and which will give you a terrible case of the runs? Sveta's determined to learn it all, even if it doesn't necessarily apply to her everyday life; this compulsion often sends her into long periods of reclusiveness; this has not been a boon for her social life. Despite the increasing toll on her mind as she tries to cram all the wisdom of the world into that brain-attic of hers, she's determined to make it fit. The only real limitation on her is the minute it takes to switch soul gems, for the old memories to fade and new ones to come in, and she's equipped for practically any situation.
A simple way to easily get her attention is to tempt her with the prospect of learning something new about a topic she's currently pursuing, or simply asking her a question about something she has knowledge of.
Neurotic and Pedantic
Obsessed with structure (often, but not necessarily neatness) and doing things RIGHT (especially on the first try), Sveta is largely serious and easily gets frustrated at what she perceives to be needless tomfoolery. A particularly uncooperative project will often find itself tossed aside, only to be returned to some time later.
She can get frustrating if one doesn't rub well with her pedantic and somewhat long-winded manner of speech; she tends to have a one-track mind, and often assumes others think and feel the way she does about most topics unless it's pointed out to her otherwise. Physical contact, especially that of the unexpected kind, tends to irk her. The tendency of such contact to muss her feathers is her usual excuse for disdaining such contact, but one can only wonder...
