Name: Erimentha (collector of thoughts - Greek) L'Vead

Age: 22

Gender: Female of course

Species: Human

Sexuality:Straight

Occupation: Owner of library, pilot and self taught mechanic.

Description:She is tall (5'6") and has a slender build of that which is meant to belong to a graceful dancer, her deep mahogany red hair is cut into a rough bob cutting off just past her ears, she keeps a rat tail like plait that comes to mid back which she keeps plaited or wrapped in a bun. Her eyes are brown and intelligent, her skin is a warm but still pale olive colour and her smile is happy, lips not quite full but pretty all the same.

Other: She has 3 piercings in each ear, 2 in the lobe 1 in the cartilage at the top. She also has a thin scar running from right eyebrow over her nose to her left cheek.

Clothing: She is generally seen wearing greasy clothing around her ship especially when docked due to maintanence, this includes a loose lace up shirt, 3 quarter pants and general purpose boots and scarf to keep random strands of hair out of her face.

Off ship she wears a rich red embroided vest with black trimming over a simple light brown shirt, dark brown pants, the bottom tucked into knee high lace up boots (occassionally she will wear a long skirt and stockings), scarf around her neck and protective goggles generally nestled around her bowler hat.

Personality: This differs around people and on her ship. If she were to meet someone new she would fumble for words and keep to herself alot, being naturally shy. But on her ship she is in command and her words are stronger she is able to think and she is very comfortable no matter who was on board with her, this also happens when she is out gathering new information exploring new places, the curiosity of something new overrides her shyness.
Around friends and family she is happy content and her shy persona pretty much vanishes. She is a generally caring and sweet person and can be a bit over protective sometimes.

History: She was brought up mainly by her father who owned a small but fairly popular book and antique shop. Her mother was generally out selling hand crafted goods on the market.
She could often be seen outside the library reading and sketching or among the shelves making up adventures to keep herself entertained.
She never really had any friends when young, she was home school while the other children went to boarding school.
Having read one book when she was young Erimentha decided she wanted to be an airship captain, over the years her father taught her and after working quite a few jobs and saving the money she bought the Cogwork Dragon and left home.
Her ship is like a flying library in some ways.

Quick story of one of her adventures.

Erimentha crept slowly through the aisles of her fathers library, stepping over the floor boards she knew creeked.
She heard footsteps on the other side and froze, a floorboard groaned under weight and she flattened herself agains the shelf.
The person moved away and Erimentha kept moving after a minute or two. Slowly slowly she moved forward to the end of the aisle near the front doors. Using a small hand mirror she checked around the corner and grinned, her pray was standing right there and with their back to her, excellent. she moved forward again and launched herself into the air.
"PAPA!!" she cried gleefully and grinned as she clung to his back.
"Erimentha please dear, get down, I'm with a customer, we do not wish to appear rude do we?" Erimetha's bottom lip stuck out and she hopped down and hid behind her father.
"No I suppose not." Her father finished up his buisness with a quick apology for Erimetha's behaviour.
"Oh let her play, we're only children once." the customer said then left with the jingle of the door bell.
"I hunted that book, and you ruin the game." She pouted but she smiled again and held out her prize, a very thick and heavy volume of airship mechanics, her favourite.
"Well done I though I had successfully hidden that from you this time, now you can keep reading it later, now is time for your lessons in maths and english and don't give me that face, you'll thank me later for the knowledge I'm giving you."
