Her hands are covered in small scars and old burns. Her nails are usually stained with industrial grease. Her eyes are dark and very observant. When someone speaks to her, she seems to be analyzing every word as if it were a mechanical part. She wears a long coat full of pockets where she keeps tools, folded blueprints, and small mechanisms she dismantles when nervous. Personality Not a cold person, but hard to get to know. She struggles to express affection because she spent most of her life proving she was as competent as any engineer at the Imperial Academy. She is extremely curious.

Hard to trust. Tends to investigate people as well as cases. Sometimes sacrifices relationships to get answers. What he does His job involves investigating impossible accidents.

Many believe he is a genius. Others believe he is going crazy. Victor is not sure which of the two is true.
