Ignatia Sprocket Vex
Species
Gnome
Appearance
Ignatia is a compact, quick-moving gnome with the posture of someone always balancing on the balls of her feet, as if she might spring toward a problem before it finishes forming. Her hands are nicked, ink-stained, and perpetually warmed by hidden pockets of warmth from little brass devices tucked into her sleeves. She wears her work apron over elegant travel clothes, a contradiction she seems proud of, and her apron is patched with old velvet, copper foil, and one square of saintly embroidered silk she insists is for luck. Her expression is usually sharp and alert, but her mouth softens when she sees broken things, as though machines and people both might still be coaxed back into usefulness.
“Fast, precise, and peppered with workshop jargon, she talks like every sentence is being assembled from spare parts. She rarely wastes words, but when she cares about something, her language becomes strangely lyrical, full of pressure, resonance, and hidden springs.”

Distinguishing Features
A crescent burn scar across her left palm that glows faintly when she is near active magic.
One ear pierced with three mismatched rings made from salvaged clock springs.
A tiny brass wind-up beetle that crawls in nervous circles across her collar when she is stressed.
Her apron pocket is singed through in one spot from the foundry disaster, and she has never mended that tear.
Voice
“Quick, crisp, and low, with a faint rasp from years of smoke and metal dust; when she is emotional, her words soften into a warm gnomish cadence that sounds like someone carefully setting tiny cups on a shelf.”
Clothing
A soot-dark work apron over a burgundy coat with reinforced cuffs, brass-buttoned boots, a tool belt, fingerless gloves, and a lined inner vest full of hidden pockets, coils, chalk, and tiny spare parts
Body Language
She speaks with her hands as much as her mouth, pinching the air when making measurements and tapping invisible gears when thinking. When she is pleased, she tilts her head and squints one eye as if examining a hidden seam in the world. When angry, she becomes unnervingly still except for her thumb rubbing the worn edge of a copper ring.
