Sveta/Hooks

What, you're actually looking to run into this crazy bird?

Tinkerer

First and foremost, Sveta's a tinkerer, albeit a journeyman. She's looking to specialise in a few fields, mainly gunsmithing and gadgetry, and is particularly interested in applied kevinscoping in those fields. She can mostly be found at the artisans' school, save for when she leaves to test her latest contraption or when the masters shoo her from forge and workbench. 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 of mathemagic, she seeks to combine the

She's not exactly the best at creating *new* things, but does her best to improve upon other peoples' ideas and inventions. If not for the need to field-test her work every step of the way, she might never leave the warmth of her workbench.

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 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. Physical contact, especially those of the unexpected kind, tends to irk her.
