[*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] An odd combination of naive but flirtatious, it's quite clear that Tanja has minimal experience with the wider world--and absolutely none with the current state of it--but isn't really much of a child, even with the whale. Around pretty girls in particular. Overwhelmingly curious and reckless, she's probably [i]too[/i] quick to trust people. Most people. She really doesn't like Rothschild.
Although she doesn't show it too much, Tanja much prefers being indoors. The sky is just too [i]big[/i].
[*][u][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/u] As her full name would suggest, Tanja is a prototype for a line of magitech robots--suggesting that at least some magic was present before the cataclysm, although as a robot who never left the lab she was created in, she can't really confirm it for anyone else beyond pointing out that one day the researchers stopped showing up and the exits were blocked with solid stone. Before that, they were testing her ability to manipulate magic and running various combat tests--and from her name, general accent, and the name of her plushie, it was probably somewhere in Germany.
She was down there a [i]very[/i] long time. 
Fortunately, it was a self-contained lab with its own power system, although inevitably all sources but magic directly dried up and more and more switched to a power-saving state. Occasionally, things [i]somehow[/i] got in and Tanja was forced to deal with them, but they never left a clear way out--just forced use of high-power weaponry in what was slowly becoming some sort of magical dead zone.
Inevitably, though, one person [i]did[/i] manage to find his way down there. Unfortunately, Tanja had no idea that Rothschild was [i]not[/i] some sort of monster and reacted violently despite her own lack of power. That ended... poorly for her, although all core damage was eventually fixed. The Sage, for his part, was unable to gather much of interest from Tanja or the now-wrecked lab and, for once, decided to [i]not[/i] keep the newly discovered artefact. After naming and cataloguing it (and ignoring the complaint that she already had a name), Tanja was traded in Hensia for something--ostensibly--picked up near the new tunnel, and found herself gradually passed up to Alhein because nobody else could work out what to do with a combat robot.
Despite [i]looking[/i] fully operational to a casual observer, she'd estimate that only a quarter to a third of the damage is actually repaired and it's going to be a [i]long[/i] time to do as she's never learned a way to accelerate her own repair process--and the tools she knows could help were rather destroyed.
[*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Tanja's primary claim to being helpful is that she can use pre-cataclysm technology pretty well. She can't break through security or tell you [i]how[/i] it works but she can turn it on and, perhaps crucially, [i]read the instructions[/i]. Beyond that, she's small, extremely flexible, and weighs even less than she looks, and she's a surprisingly good shot with a gun. Albeit she insists that it should be better.
[*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] Initially designed as a robot to harness magic directly for combat purposes, Tanja [i]can[/i], in fact, work on using it normally and without worrying about all the initial "learn how to feel and manipulate" it stages that plague most beginners. She just has no clue because she was also created with a large number of components that would automatically perform the necessary steps for her--magic items only useful to her, in other words. A few, such as the flight components, only manifest externally when in use. [i]Unfortunately[/i], they range in various states from atomised to simply offline, so her ability to act as a one-person laser weapons platform is curtailed to almost nothing, along with her aim. It's still enough to fire in extremis but that means doing most of the work manually.
That she considers this [i]temporary[/i] shows the real miracle in her creation, beyond combining these features in an artificial lifeform. Unless [i]all[/i] the essential components in her body are destroyed (and she refuses to say how many there are, or if the information is distributed through all of it, for obvious reasons), then over time she can simply draw in magic and use it to power herself and repair anything necessary. Other power sources can also be used for this, up to and including eating.
[*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Technically, one could say that the artefact known as [i]Angel of Destruction: Leo[/i] is in Tanja's possession, in the same way that you could say anyone else is in their own possession. But, as a rather willful artefact with no known access codes to force her co-operation and an unsurprising level of encryption, she's not really controlled.
Beyond borrowing guns as needed, she owns a plush whale, imaginatively named Herr Wal. Although not one of her built-in components, he seems to have been built to test including external objects in the repairs. Given that it has been thousands of years without any fading or damage, the test seems to have been successful even if nothing else was completed.
