{{image|Ranette Shuravf.jpg|side=right|width=250px|Ranette pointing a gun at Wax and Wayne when they try to enter her home.}}
=== The Roughs ===
Ranette used to live in the [[Roughs]] as a gunsmith and made [[Waxillium]] his Sterrions and Ambersair.{{book ref|aol|1}}{{book ref|aol|14}}
Ranette moved to [[Elendel]] sometime before Waxillium's return due to the city providing access to electricity which the Roughs lacked. She has her workshop in the [[Elendel|Third Octant]].{{book ref|aol|10}}
Wax, [[Wayne]], and [[Marasi]] visit Ranette after Wax's study gets destroyed in an explosion. At first, she tries to chase them away by pointing a shotgun at them but decides to let them in after Wayne offers her the aluminum gun Wax had taken from the [[Vanishers]]. Once inside, Ranette starts working on pulling apart the gun and discovers it was made by a gunsmith called [[Nouxil]],
=== Dealing with Bleeder ===
Ranette is returning home after delivering Wax's new cords when she sees Wayne near her new residence where she had moved a few months ago. She notices the notebook Wayne had left at her door and demands him to explain. After Wayne's initial explanation she flips through the notebook and reads the words Wayne had written on the last page. She figures out he is finally giving up on the wish of dating her and moving on. Ranette smiles and thanks him. Wayne tries his luck one more time by asking Ranette about her girlfriend but she firmly rejects him again so he finally leaves. {{book ref|bom|4}}
