I present: the alternative
My sources have not given me very many pictures of vermin women, unfortunately
If I'm doing Krysa lore wrong anywhere let me know

A blue-eyed Krysa, a little short for her species and sex – still noticeably taller than most humans. Her tousled, curly light-brown hair falls a little further than her shoulders, locks resting on her upper arms. Her left ear is damaged – possibly burned – at the tip. She is smiling brightly and giving the camera a salute.[/i][/center]

[i]These three lines are written in Krysa glyphs. The transliterations are not difficult.[/i]
Name: [i]Astreya[/i]
Gender: ♀
Race: [i]Krysa[/i]

[i]The rest of the application is written in human language, but abominable handwriting. The translations are grueling.[/i]
Relevant Abilities: I don’t do any housework, but I’m definitely stronger than most of you. I’m also an inventor and an engineer and a chemist and sort of a smith and I’ve dabbled in galvanism.

Tell us about yourself: My sister tells me I should just say [i](A Krysa glyph representing manic energy)[/i] for this. I think she’s joking. But I do things fast and I don’t like to sit still. I’m hard to put down.

Work history: I’m [i]Krysa[/i]. We do a lot of science here. My science tends to explode, sometimes on purpose. Don’t worry, though – the explosions are mostly controlled. I’m mostly careful. And anyway, explosions mean progress! They're basically how steam engines work, you know.

Tools you are skilled with: You know how if you focus light it can burn things? I’ve been playing with that lately. I don’t think my prototypes are strong enough, though, so I’ll bring a big hammer and a high-powered shotgun. Do you know what a shotgun is? I can show you if there's something you don't mind me destroying.

Occult Knowledge: I don’t think magic likes me, personally, but I know some designs and materials that it likes. I use it with some of my inventions for energy amping and such. I bet I can guess how your catalysts work.
