Sabine Herig (Sah-BEAN HERR-rig)
(a.k.a. "Mongoose" (chosen pseudonym for smuggling jobs), "Sebbie" (Pet name that only Sascha Merrimack is allowed to use))
Sabine Herig is a Kamerian smuggler, turned freedom fighter, currently fighting as a member of the strike team NoxHound. She's rarely been on the right side of the law throughout her life, so transitioning to the life of a partisan actually gives her more breathing room.
Physical Description
Apparel & Accessories
Sabine's prize piece of clothing is her leather jacket, which has enough hidden pistol holsters in it that, if Sabine were to put a handgun in all of them, she wouldn't be able to move her torso without two of them pressing into each other. Pants and boots, however, will vary much more. In cold weather, Sabine will wear a sweater underneath her leather jacket. In hotter weather, Sabine will forgo wearing a top entirely and just leave her bra exposed. The leather jacket is too central to her fighting style to sacrifice it for anything.
Sabine also has a pair of small robotic arms mounted to a belt around her waist. These arms are used primarily to assist in reloading Sabine's handguns; allowing her to operate two at a time. But from time to time they'll mimic Sabine's gestures, or even behave in a way that makes them seem to have a mind of their own.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Sabine was born and raised in the capitol city of Stampa, but in the neglected slums, and by extension in the shadow of the clean, tourist-friendly governmental district. With both of her parents often too drunk to attend to their parental duties, Sabine quickly learned how to fend for herself. Sabine practically had to wait out her childhood, with the schools only able to do so much with her home situation. As a teen, Sabine began to treat the house as her own, and her dysfunctional parents more like annoying roommates as she practically kept the place together on her own.
Sabine had two choices of how to make that happen, the way she saw it. She could either use her natural talents at staying unnoticed and small frame to move things from place to place unseen, or she could engage in dangerous, unlisenced street prostitution. It didn't take long for Sabine to decide.
It started with running small packages for the street gangs of Stampa, and getting paid more money for one job than she'd see in months before starting the gig. Slowly, she refined her methods, took bigger jobs, and began to build a reputation for getting the goods where they need to go quietly, and nimbly dodging the law even when things went loud. Early on, she met the Tiburok woman, Sascha Merrimack, who would become her full-time enforcer. Sabine was quite capable on her own, but her natural chemistry with Sascha pushed the both of them from "pretty good" to "industry leaders".
Sexuality
Sabine is almost exclusively a lesbian. The only exception she makes is for men of a bishonen persuasion. And even that would be a very short term, one-night kind of thing.
Education
Sabine only ever had public education. And even then, she dropped out in her teenage years. By that point, Sabine figured, school had taught her everything that she would need to know. Sabine did, however, teach herself on topics that she found to be of interest to her.
Social
Hobbies & Pets
Sabine's profession precludes being able to keep most pets, but there are two hobbies Sabine quite likes to engage with. The first is dancing, with Electroswing being her favorite genre to dance to. The other hobby is that Sabine is an avid aviation enthusiast. She could tell you the make and model of any plane you point at, and once she has enough money together, Sabine dreams of getting a pilot's lisence and buying a plane of her own.

I liked your article, it was very fun to read such details about a character :D I loved the idea of the two small robot arms on the side, that holds her guns. I would love to learn more about these! A thing you can consider for both this article and future articles is a few quotes in your main text, that will both help breaking up your article, which will make it easier to read, and it's a nice way to show how your character is interacting with others. Otherwise I think it was a great article.
That's a great idea! The only trouble is having the appropriate quote to put in the article. Guess I'll just have to write with her more.
