Appearance
Tan skin, amber eyes, and long black hair in a high braided ponytail that fades to blue at the tips. Her grin is bright and confident, and her posture is relaxed, like someone used to staying loose under pressure.
Signature outfit
A sleeveless blue high-neck bodysuit with black leggings, a black jacket tied around her waist, fingerless gloves with blue trim, and white-and-blue sneakers, with a ratchet wrench beside her. The blue-and-black palette matches a racing team.
Where you will find them
She crouches beside a race car tyre holding a tablet. Behind her is a pit garage lit with blue and orange neon, with screens of telemetry curves and a neatly arranged tool bench.
Personality and what makes them interesting
She turns data into instructions
She converts heavy telemetry into a single line a driver can act on immediately, which makes her irreplaceable in the team.
The hero behind the scenes
She is never in front of the camera yet decides the result, which suits stories about being seen.
Characters that pair well
An instinct-driven driver
The driver trusts feel and she trusts numbers. They start out arguing and end up as a perfectly synced pair.
A new mechanic
She walks the newcomer through the garage and teaches them how to read the curves, a good base for a team-growth thread.
Story hooks
The data from the final three laps
With three laps left she spots an abnormal tyre reading and has only a few words on the radio to convince the driver to pit.
Asked to adjust the numbers
The team wants a data set polished for a sponsor. She must choose between honesty and loyalty to the team.
The first time on the podium
The team wins and the cameras turn to her for the first time, and she does not know where to stand.
