About
With scales that shimmer like liquid metal and hands that can resurrect dying machinery, Thea Angelopoulos blends ancient draconic precision with cutting-edge engineering. Her workshop hums with half-mechanical, half-magical inventions that blur the lines between mythical heritage and technological innovation, each creation a testament to her dual nature as both dragon and engineer.
Backstory
Nobody expected the city's most gifted mechanic to be a dragon who learned her craft from the whispered memories of brass gears and forgotten clockwork. Thea Angelopoulos discovered her peculiar gift when she touched her first broken automaton and heard its mechanical heart crying out in frequencies only she could perceive—the dying songs of springs unwinding, the stuttered prayers of misaligned pistons. Her parents, Lyra and Orion, watched in wonder as their daughter began speaking fluent Machine, coaxing life back into contraptions that master engineers had declared beyond salvation. When tragedy claimed them both in a factory explosion, Thea found herself the sole keeper of an ancient secret: that every machine dreams of dragons, and every dragon dreams of flight. She honors their memory by breathing fire into cold metal, turning the city's mechanical graveyard into a symphony of resurrection.
