Personal history

As a child, Vanya was raised by a clan of dwarves who dwell in the north, being the only human there. They taught her a lot of skills for years, until she became a young artificer. After she's seen as mature enough, her father let her be free to make her own choice and explore the world. She decided to leave home to find suitable job and experience, then Vanya joined Golden Guild as an adventurer. Where she was born and who her real parents are unknown.

"I should be thankful they accepted me."

Sexuality

"I, umm, still unsure about it, sorry."

Education

"My father is also my teacher, I spent years of learning with him. Maybe around five years or more? I still have to learn a lot,"

Employment

"I am currently a bronze guildsman at Golden Wool."

Accomplishments & Achievements

"I'm excited when I can do item infusions for the first time! It's the thing I always wanted to do. Also when I successfully make my first cannon, I named him Ucup. Burn things, even can be installed on my prosthetic arm!"
 

Failures & Embarrassments

"Um... Losing one eye because I tried to mess with magic item. I know, I was stupid... Should have listened to father to not touch anything in his workshop. No matter how glowy or interesting they look... But... Ugh... I couldn't resist."
  "And I dunno why, I encounter goats a lot in my early days? No not goats like bro Asto or the others, it's like, cursed goats, or holy goats... What kinda goat will I find next!? Heck, I even turned into a ghost because of them. Thought I was dead. It was funny experience if I think about it, though. I stopped eating goat meat since then."

Morality & Philosophy

"Anyone who's kind to me deserves to be repaid, but how much? How much should I repay?"
  "I don't care about your background or race. I'd try to be friendly to anyone, but if they decide to be a jerk, that's okay, I'll be a jerk too."

Taboos

"I have taken an oath from my clan that I should not pass the craft skills I possess today. Non-dwarves are not allowed to do that. I don't have the rights."

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

"Like stated before, I always want to pay people's kindness! Especially father, and the others, the way they treat me. I also want to learn more, a lot of things. Exploration, looking for new stuff..."

Likes & Dislikes

"I like crafting materials, like metals or maybe stones. Explosives are really appreciated, hehe. Explosions, blowing things up to ashes... Destruction is as beautiful as creation, it hypnotizes me. It's funny! For food, I enjoy pudding, cakes and cookies. Any flavor, but coffee is my favorite."
  "Oh, please don't give me spicy food, I'd get sick... And don't disturb me when I'm working, I'll get distracted. Knock the door before entering my room!"

Vices & Personality flaws

"I can fix and craft things, like weapons and other kinds of equipments. But since I am still learning, sometimes I do things the wrong way, even though I think I am doing it right... I'm just doing it my own way. Wait, I smell something burning. Uh-oh."

Hygiene

"I.... Honestly, I often forget to take a bath. I don't sweat that much, I promise. Usually I bathe at night. Refreshing after a long day."

Social

Contacts & Relations

"Father, he took care of me, he doesn't even care about my race. He sees me as his own daughter. 10 years spent with him, and I hope I can spend more."
  "Bro Asto, he's like second teacher to me, after my father. He's cool, he's great, I look up to him. Wait... No no no no, I'm not talking about his height! He will always be cool no matter how tall he is!"
  "Sis Nesha. She's a kind elf. A little goofy sometimes but she's fun to hang out with! She pats my head a lot with reason I think I don't understand."   "Bro Solar! Skilled, with taste I can't describe. I enjoy working together with him. Though he often seem to be tired. I want him to take care of himself more."
  "Whisker, very cute and active. Sometimes too active- but I won't complain, hehe. He's a child after all. He's a sweet, little tabaxi friend!"
  "Sis Alice. She doesn't speak much about herself... So I don't know much about her. She's known as a scholar, and it makes me wonder how does it feel like being well-educated? Is being scholar fun? Maybe I should ask her sometime."
  "Marie, another little friend! I think she's from noble family. She's kind and polite, always trying her best. She made my prosthetic arm glow once- she had so much fun with glowing things, I suppose?"
  "Uncle Bajogg... He's big, has a lot of money, and pretty intimidating when the first I met him. But I think, he does really hold big responsbilities. I heard he likes someone?"
  "Bro Nai, he's one of my first friends I made when I took my first task. A very cool leader type, really! He seems to enjoy money and food, so don't forget to thank him with those."
  "Bro Rusu... He has funny spells, funny fire spells, I want to complete more tasks with him, I want to see more of him burning stuff."
  "Fael, He seems to know a lot about animals, includes how to bond with them. I saw how he communicate with Astrid's pet owl by hooting, how??? I tried the same and the owl didn't understand."
  "Yoooo, Raoul, also one of my first friends, in our first task. Enjoys fish and is a good pal! He sometimes play music and sing around, lighting up the tavern's mood."
  "Sis Lena, always there with her gentle smile and soft voice. Skilled in talking with other people, singing, telling stories and playing instruments. She's really polite and friendly, hehe."
  "Bro Ghulam... I'm really curious about how he works. But I don't wanna sound rude to him."
  "Bro Tamar- He thinks a lot about money! Damn, I'm not even allowed to touch his axe. He's a good pal anyway."
  "Bro Sekime's one cool dude, very agile despite having a large shell, it looks heavy."
  "Sis Sylvia, she looks similar to the elves. Strong woman! Why does she argue a lot with sis Nesha though?"
  "Agio, one of the big buddies. One feature I like about him- his fluffy white hair. It's really warm and soft."

Religious Views

"I'm an atheist. I don't worship god, nor pray to them. I'm more bound to science and knowledge. But I don't see religion as a bad thing, as long it's not harmful to others."

Mannerisms

Vanya is an easygoing person, she doesn't really mind about other people's race, taste, or even background as long you treat her in a good way. She's capable of speaking politely, but not formally. Prefers talking in casual kind of speech. She's an obedient type if people she trust tell her what to do, but may do questionable stuff for fun if let alone.
  She might treat her friends little snacks and drinks, gifts or in some occassion, give price discounts in crafting items if she thinks they deserve it! It's her way of showing affection towards her buddies, or expressing her 'thank-you'.

Hobbies & Pets

"Ucup is an eldrich cannon, but he's like my pet, I love him. Do you know he has three forms? Chicken, crab, and goat."
 

Flamethrower, Force Ballista, Protector.
"My hobby is crafting and fixing things. Sometimes I draw other than blueprints, but it's not really good- hehe. Making questionable food combos is also enjoyable for me when I'm bored. I don't really care if people are disgusted, If you don't like it, you don't have too look or even try it! I never force anyone to enjoy what I enjoy, you know."

Wealth & Financial state

"Ahh... I don't think I am wealthy. I'm currently saving money for future, either by accepting tasks or crafting."

Hard-working young blacksmith.
