Name:
Ana Louisa Fordham-Smythe
Nickname:
Lou
Age:
28
Title/Rank:
Major
MOS:
Mechanic
Family/Lineage/Homeworld: Lou was born to Roger and Murielle Fordham-Smythe. Roger was a Mechanic and Murielle a medic. They traveled often, wherever they were needed. Lou was birthed on Alagoth, but not a native, and spent most of her youth in the crowded cities there. She was a brown-eyed anomoly in a place where colored irises was not the norm.
When she was 8, Lou was being picked on by a gang of older boys who came upon her while she was finishing her rebuild of an old upright scooter. The boys pushed her around and stole it, leaving Lou with a busted lip and a tear-stained face. Being picked on by the Alagothian chldren was nothing new to Lou. She was an "outsider" though she'd spent her whole life there.
Another boy, an older boy of around 11 or so, came along and wiped her tears telling her that her brown eyes were the prettiest eyes he had ever seen. Then, he helped her home. She introduced herself as proud and proper as a crying 8-year old tomboy could, but he he just smiled and said it was best to not get too attached. He had to leave soon. Lou never saw him again.
Physical Description/Personality/Strengths/Weaknesses:
She is a little spitfire about oh 5'2. She's forever got a smudge on a cheek or across her nose. Wears a big baggy set of standard issue overalls that cover up a surprisingly lush feminine figure, which is belted tight by a toolbelt. She wears big, heavy black boots. Her hair is a shocking shade of red; dyed of course. She's a natural brunette, so brown it's almost black. She has on more than one occasion been mistaken for a young man, to her embarrassment and sometimes to her relief.
Her small size is a boon for working within the tight confines of a mech's innards, though it is sometimes hard to reach.
She'll play poker (but not the strip kind, well.. she might with the right guy... ) and drinks whiskey neat but never smokes. She can cuss up a storm if the mood strikes her and has been known on occasion to use duct tape for almost anything. She even used it as a band-aid once because a medic was nowhere to be found.
Her respect for rank is suspect. She is a major but rarely announces it.
To date, no one has ever seen Lou's quarters.
Strength: Lou can fix pretty much anything. Her memory for technical/mechanical specifications is near photographic.
Weakness: Complete isolation is frightening. Lou crew up in the crowded cities
Belongings:
1 Set Mechanics Coveralls: Plain coverings to protect a mechanics clothes from the grease and grime of the trade.
1 Toolbox: This is every mechanics dream, this metal case it filled to capacity. The quartermaster did an evaluation of the items needed to maintain and repair the vehicles and loaded each of these with those items. As a special edition for Lou five rolls of duct tape were included.
1 Mobile Toolkit: Your basic tools, this toolkit can easily be slipped into the pocket of your coveralls. Can go anywhere and fix anything on the go.
1 Bulb Pistol: A rechargeable energy weapon, it charges for 10 seconds to make a shot the size of a baseball. The shot explodes from the barrel when the trigger is pulled and detracts 25 points from the enemy.
Pets/ Familiars:
None
Other Useful Facts:
Lou has a crush but she's not gonna tell you who it is.
