Zoi Zervou- Smith of Meletis Metal Trades

The owner of the Metal Trades in Meletis is a hardworking individual with her attention nearly always on the forge. She enjoys a challenge and likes to create new items when the recipient truly seems like they'll appreciate it. She has brought on Iosif Rodinoglou as her apprentices. He is a smaller boy of about 17 with light brown hair and eyes, but he shows fierce dedication to his work and respects Zoi in a way that she doesn't always get from strangers. He is getting stronger and stronger under her guidance.    Zoi is a trans female and some in her circle don't like it. They seem to not understand that to her, her gender and her preferences for activities are separate things. She can identify as female and truly be a female in all her essence and still not absolutely love all things feminine and enjoy metal working much more. She is tough and won't take crap from anyone. She's also near entirely deaf and Iosif acts as her interpreter quite a bit.
