scheduling conflicts ‣ she repairs shuttles and teaches folks how to space-suit in her off-time, but engineering always has her first priority.
experience ‣ actual literal rocket scientist. youngest zero-g mechanic in 52 years back on the ark. experienced explosives craftsman. engineer here on the tranquility since jump 35, chief engineering officer since jump 39.
other notes ‣
‣ first and foremost, since it's very noticeable: she walks with the use of a leg brace spanning from her foot clear up past her knee. if she's on the monitors for a long shift, there's a decent chance she'll take it off, and if she does, it's plain to see that there's not much voluntary function in or below her knee.
‣ she's an extremely driven worker, taking more hours than is necessarily healthy just to make absolutely positive shit gets done. you get the definite feeling that throwing herself into her work is how she copes. copes with what? that's something you'll have to ask her yourself.
‣ despite being so work-minded, she's decently in general, and can sometimes be found making jokes (often the dry kind) while on the job. don't mistake that for slacking, though - she is 110% focused no matter what's coming out of her mouth. as a note, this last month (2/15) she's been unusually lacking in the dry humor department, and noticeably less sociable too. but it's fading as time goes on. she's pretty good at getting on with shit that way.
‣ while her rank as head of engineering has pulled her more toward the center of the team, she's been shown to prefer projects she can work on by herself. she likes people well enough, but she also has trouble shaking the 'if you want it done right, do it yourself' mentality that got her so far in canon.
‣ jasper jordan (trynotodie) drops in decently often. he doesn't get in the way. in fact, most of the time his only real talking is to ask keen questions about what she's doing. you get the definite sense that he's kind of her unofficial apprentice on this shit... and on most things, really.
