'''Ranette''' is a gunsmith on [[Scadrial]] who makes many of the guns used by [[Wax]] and [[Wayne]]. She shelters them and inspects one of the [[Vanishers]] [[aluminum]] pistols. She identifies it as being made by [[Nouxil]].{{book ref|mb4|14}}
She lived in the Roughs, but moved to the city some time before Wax did
Ranette is long-legged and lean with dark hair which she wears in a shoulder-length ponytail. While Wax, Wayne and [[Marasi]] are staying in her house, she wears boots, brown trousers, a white laced shirt and a long Roughs-style leather coat.{{book ref|mb4|14}}{{book ref|mb4|15}}
Ranette is quick to threaten to shoot Wax and Wayne upon seeing them turn up on her doorstep, but she doesn't shoot anyone she allows inside her home. She keeps a shotgun in a basket next to her front door.{{book ref|mb4|14}} Though she excels at gunsmithing, she prefers to keep to herself and doesn't want to be bothered by people. As such, she doesn't sell or patent her inventions. She also hates people sensing her Allomancy, and hires [[Coppercloud]]s to cover her house.{{book ref|mb4|14}} She is also not wealthy enough to use aluminium in her guns.{{book ref|mb4|18}} She values guns greatly; willing to forgive Wax and Wayne in exchange for an interesting weapon and upon losing Vindication, Wax is believes that Ranette will be furious with him for it.{{book ref|mb4|14}}{{book ref|mb4|19}}
Outside of the text, Sanderson has mentioned that Ranette is a lesbian.{{qa ref|1100|8|Is there any chance of queer characters?|date=2015-1-8}} She is romantically involved with [[Misra]].{{book ref|mb5|22}}{{url ref|url=http://kogiopsis.tumblr.com/post/130931232334|text=Kogiopsis signing report|site=Tumblr}}
