Difference between revisions of "Ranette"

'''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 due to the use of electricity in the city, despite disliking [[Elendel]] and feeling unsafe there. Her home is located in the Third Octant. It is a red brick house and has two stories.{{book ref|mb4|1}}{{book ref|mb4|10}}{{book ref|mb4|14}}

Ranette is tall, 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 people who annoy her -- as well as Wax and particularly Wayne -- 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}}{{book ref|mb5|19}} 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 [[Smoker]]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. Upon losing [[Vindication]], Wax believes that Ranette will be furious with him for it.{{book ref|mb4|14}}{{book ref|mb4|19}}

Ranette seems to only use her abilities as a Lurcher for simple convenience (Pullingi.e., pulling items out of reach toward her, et cetera) and to use devices of her own creation that only a Lurcher can use. She is very sensitive about her location and employs Smokers to hide the use of her powers.
