Mitzi Brassbottle | 40 | Female | Knight
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Asexual Homoromantic
Species: Gnome
Kingdom: Solvale
Appearance: Mitzi is tall (for a Gnome), standing at a relatively lofty 3'11". While her size might be childish, her frame is anything but, long and gangly with a head that seems too large for her body, giving her a strange, alien appearance. Her eyes are a vibrant emerald green, and somehow still too large for her already large head, and her auburn hair is usually pulled back into a ponytail, though strands of it still manage to drift over her face. Her pale skin, where not stained by soot and oil, is covered with a smattering of freckles. She prefers simple garb, usually a plain shirt and trousers with a pair of sturdy and sensible boots, and she's never seen without her blacksmith's apron, the pockets laden with tools, spare parts, and whatever project she happens to be tinkering on. A pair of goggles typically sits on her head, in a vain effort to further control her hair, and her hands are encased in leather work gloves. While she retains the typical vigor and restless energy common to all Gnomes, her age is beginning to show, her face is rougher and more lined, and streaks of gray are beginning to grow in her hair.
Personality: Mitzi is as boisterous and friendly as she is rough and abrasive, a rather curious combination. She sees no reason to filter her opinions or feelings, and will offer insult as readily as praise, when she believes it deserved. Her intellect is matched only by her curiosity, and both far eclipse her senses of caution and self-preservation. She's still a knight, and will perform her duties to the best of her abilities, but she would much rather prefer to be in her workshop, working on her magi-tech experiments. She has a hard time focusing on things that don't interest her, though if something does manage to grab her she'll pursue it with dogged determination, often forgetting to eat or sleep. These fixations come and go like the wind, her workshop is littered with half-finished projects she simply doesn't care to complete.
Bio: Mitzi was born to a family of knights, and from birth she was trained and expected to take up the mantle, but her heart was never really in it. She preferred wrenches and gears to swords and shields, and spent her every spare moment working with magi-tech. She saw it as Solvale's greatest strength, something that could be used to improve the lives of both her people and others all across the land. She became a knight, not out of any particularly strong desire to help the kingdom, but because she saw it as the easiest path to furthering her research. As a civillian, she would have to pay for her tools and materials herself, but as a knight she would be able to leverage the resources of the whole kingdom. She has since become one of Solvale's foremost magi-tech engineers, pioneering new technologies and items both magical and mundane, while also serving as the kingdom's shield.
