== Attributes & Abilities ==
Ranette is a [[iron]] [[Misting]] (aka a [[Lurcher]]). She seems to only use her abilities for simple convenience (i.e., pulling items out of reach toward her, et cetera) and to use devices of her own creation that only a Lurcher can use.
 
As a gunsmith, Ranette is highly skilled and is responsible for the creation of numerous guns as well as various other contraptions and innovations. She has a symbol that can be used to identify her work.{{book ref|mb7|58}} She can competently identify a gun's creator.

Wax sends Ranette a note via an errand boy asking her to make him a special bullet to take down a [[kandra]] named [[Bleeder]]. Within hours Ranette arrives to Governor [[Replar Innate]]'s mansion to deliver the special bullet she made out of Wax's [[Pathian]] earring. She hands the bullet over to Wayne who later gives it to Wax. Ranette talks about the current situation of things with Wayne and seems very worried about the people gathering outside which makes Wayne go check things out and Ranette leaves. {{book ref|sos|19}}
