Born 36 years ago to a human noble family in Madarakshan, Hafsa has always had a knack for mechanics and tinkering with things. Her father is Imperial, her mother Madarakshan, and was trained as a mechanic/artificer, often seeking to emulate nature in her inventions and devices. Why work towards perfection when you can build upon it?
Young, somewhat naive, and full of wonder and excitement, Hafsa has traveled to Shǒuyào from Del Hazar to make a name for herself as a mechanic.
On her journey, she stopped by a monastery where she met the charismatic Yuan, who helped her reach the city while acting as a guide of sorts.
Due to both her talents and fiendish appearance, her parents sheltered her upbringing somewhat, leaving her with a slightly misinformed worldview. For instance, she is totally awed by how few people cover their entire bodies in the empire. Growing up in the desert has left her with no ability to swim and a mild fear of bodies of water.
Her fiendish ancestry is immediately obvious to observers when she isn't wearing her full veil. Her skin is covered in fine, but hard scales. Atop her head are curved horns, she has a medium-length tail, and sports a pair of hooves. What causes her the most trouble, though, is her teeth. Razor sharp and constantly growing, she has developed the habit of chewing on anything she can get her hands on. Wood, metal, cables, cloth. Anything. However this also leaves her with a near constant jaw ache.
Her prized creation is, without a doubt, her Analyzer she wears on her left bracer. This device amplifies her circuit stones and communications devices, as well as having a built-in database of her protoypes and how-to manuals. Furthermore, the device allows her to utilise a handful more spells than she otherwise would have access to. However, the device works based on her own aura, and does not function for anybody else, much to Hafsa's chagrin, for if she could mass-produce them, she feels that the world would be a much more advanced place.
