• Description

  Full name, María Mercedes Santillan.
  
  An unrelentingly determined mechanic from Seville (/Earth) in a constant state of road rage. Queer as all hell. A drifter, finds it impossible to feel at home anywhere, with anyone. Short, skinny - but strong. Unsurprising considering she makes a living off fixing busted-up motors. Multiple tattoos, some very fresh, others much older. Carries herself with pride, standing straight, shoulders back - almost a challenge to anyone who would tell her she has no place in her profession. Whilst she handles her tools with incredible and practiced ease, she's unused to weapons and has little combat ability. Speaks with a thick Andalusian accent (and has a tendency to speak incredibly quickly), but her English is flawless. Usually covered in smears of oil, dirt almost constantly under her nails.

• Biography

  Moved from a small town just outside Seville - but 'moved' is the wrong word. 'Escaped' or 'ran away from' would be best. She was running from a whole lot of things: debt, overbearing catholic parents, the unhappy marriage they forced her into. For modern storylines, she moved to the US. For sci-fi ones, she left Earth on the next shuttle and was stranded at a space port. Either way, she became an apprentice to a mechanic and slowly built her confidence until she was offered the chance to take over his shop. She discovered her passion for bringing life back to broken things, fixing things, but still felt restless and never managed to put roots down anywhere.
