Outward Appearance

 

Like a Phoenix from the Flames.

 

Nemei is middle-aged, with light brown skin, ice-blue eyes, cryomancy-cold flesh, and long, straight, white hair tied back simply with an oddment of cable. She is short for a Gnome and is underweight and delicate looking. She bears scars along her collarbone and shoulderblade on her left side from the operation to fit the seating for her prosthetic arm, and a wide burn scar across her throat from ear-to-ear, a reminder of a cowardly attack. She lacks her right leg and walks with crutches, for now. Her caring, happy nature usually shows in her face, at odds with the sinister feeling anyone light-affiliated might pick up from her.

 

She usually wears ornate caster's robes and carries a crystaline sword which she made herself. She wears silver rings in her ears, and a collection of sentimental jewellry. Around her left wrist is a leather bracer with two lit screens embedded. It's other part, a silver metal earplug, sits clipped to her left ear. This allows her to communicate with various friendly parties over the Buzzbox network. She always carries an overloaded satchel full of paperwork, and a pouch on her belt with her coin, and other oddments in. She has snowflakes picked out in negative space in light-blue ink tattooed on her right arm, the flakes themselves have been coloured with magical ink that glows white when arcane current passes through it.

 

Her left arm is a mechanical replacement. She has practiced her engraving skills upon the casing, so the satin-sheen silver metal bears a phoenix on the upper arm plate, and all the plates are edged with a pattern of gears. The plate on the back of the hand has been ripped away and a silver cog-ring is welded to the middle finger carefully. Her right leg is also a metal-plated replacement, this one strapped onto the stump of the leg and powered by bright-glowing bolts at the joints that spread their glow over the entire limb faintly, the enchantment making the sleek digitigrade limb respond to her impulse like her natural leg. She walks with an unusual cadence, hips swing in a more Draenic fashion, and if she is not wearing her thigh-high leather boot on her left leg, she may be caught limping.

 

 

 

Background

 

 

Your flame died, and you fell.

Nemei's memories from before being rescued from Gnomeregan were few, fragmented, and hazy. She was found by the S.A.F.E rescue team, tattered, confused, and almost irredeemably irradiated, hiding in a crawl-space and clutching a large book desperately. The radiation had damaged her brain and robbed her of her memories. Even her name came from the ring she was found wearing- engraved with Nemei ∞ Mavan inside the band. She chose the name "Sparklesprocket" at that time, hastily, just to have a surname at all.

 

I caught you, held you still.

She lost her left arm in a misunderstanding-turned-violent, but she likes the mechanical replacement. She has talents for singing and illusion, and loves the Fablewind Faire. She had fallen in love with a City Watchman, Lecster. They lived together and planned marriage, but he left when she got ill. She is a member of the Gnomish Rescue Squad, an independant group who work alongside S.A.F.E to rescue survivors from Gnomeregan, but also carry out other freelance rescue work all over the two worlds. When not in action, she is a lecturer in Arcane Flux Theory at the Gnomeregan Technical College.

 

Spread your wings, Re-ignite.

Nemei received treatment that restored all her memories. She recalls her children, Dizzle, the older boy, and Amie, her daughter, as well as her loveless previous marriage and the rest of her family. To her knowlege, none survived the Fall- all have been declaired dead. She recalls her career as a lecturer and her private research. It turns out her name is Nemei Brightbolt, so she will now take the name "Sparklebolt", as a dedication to both past, present and future.

Standing Frozen in the Flame

Broken by her fiance's abandonment, pulled together by loving friends and a close bond to a new mentor, Nemei is sworn to remain alone, her heart forever with her only true love. The cheerful Gnome is now cooler and prone to fits of melancholy. A kind friend or a sweet child can melt her frosty defenses, for a while at least. She throws herself into her studies- arcane and darker arts, and caring for her adoptive daughter and three Cogchildren with leonine protectiveness.
