(Appearance Photo Optional) Name: Aisha Lariat Smith Nickname: Ash Age: 24 Gender: Female Clan: Metal Monkey Equipment: Corradi Climbing Gloves, Corradi Climbing Boots, S.I Hybrid Sidearm Appearance: Aisha has an extreme case of baby face. Smooth cheeks with little bone definition give her the appearance of a large child. Her height measures at 4”10’ and her weight clocks in at 98 lbs. She has wavy black hair and a dark brown skin tone from a fairly strong genetic Native American ancestry. Her eyes are rounded and the irises are brown. Aisha is flat chested and has a pear-like body shape, giving her a very low center of gravity. Though not typically seen out of work-appropriate attire, her personal wardrobe tends to consist of loose, single-color sweat shirts, and jeans. Biography: Aisha was born on August 9th in a home birth. Aisha’s family is somewhat large, consisting of two grandparents, a mother, a father, two brothers, and an aunt all living in the same home. She has positive relationships with her older siblings, though she tends to bicker with them as much as anyone. Both of her parents treated the three children well during their adolescence, giving them ample space and adequate supervision. While she came from a primarily farming-based family, they were well off monetarily, which allowed her to pursue her interest in technology and mechanics. From as young as age 6, Aisha was known as “the little girl who will take apart your electronics to see what is inside”, if you didn’t keep an eye on her. Aisha’s aunt, a 43 year old woman named Lariat, had been a basic mechanic for some 15 years, and was quick to foster the young girl’s knack for all things machine. With some protest from her mother, Aisha began to apprentice under her during middle school alongside her brother Dylan. At first, Aisha studied the tractors on her family’s farm and other cultivating tools they used, tinkering with systems and making enhancements where she could. While she often improved the devices, there were a large number of times where her enhancements were negative rather than positive. Over time, she began to work on small creations of her own based on innovative ideas she or her friends had concocted. These projects tended to assist with everyday events, and she was happy to share them with those who were interested. From then on through 11th grade, Aisha studied anything she could get information on: from radios, to subway systems. It was over the summer before her last year of high school that she took on her first large independent project with Dylan’s assistance. Using only raw materials and tools she had either acquired over the years or borrowed, she constructed an all-terrain vehicle from scratch. To achieve this, she diligently studied some degree of physics, though Dylan’s help was crucial in that field. Once she was finished with high school, she was quick to study full time under her aunt, focusing entirely on mechanical engineering and apprenticing under any who could teach her. Soon, she was considered one of the better young mechanics in Vextrik. With this proud accomplishment under her belt, she made the decision to join the Wallmenders, and work as a metal monkey among like-minded peers. While the situation may seem bleak, Aisha is often extremely chipper, especially when it regards her work. She tends to be overly-independent, but doesn’t have qualms working with a team as long as no one tries to tell her how to do her job. In her time with the Wallmenders she’s grown extremely accustomed to scaling the walls, and is almost better at that than she is at walking on flat ground. While conversations with her superiors may be somewhat tense, she gets along well enough with people who are equal to her in ‘rank’, if they can look past her oddities and quirky behavior.
