Here's the collaborative lore so far:
- a textile mechanic who knits, sews, crochets, weaves, and has dabbled in everything fabric related
- women's work with textiles are often looked down on as not "technology" so I love her being a textile mechanic to counteract that
- makes protective suits for delving further into the core which still look fashionable as heck. at lizzy's insistence she tried weaving out of pasta once it didn't go well
- has a portable sewing machine for emergency costume changes
- has a shellmet with a hard hat style bump to protect against falling rocks. she CAN see out of those tentacles
- her shirt is a soft display which can display animated patterns or tv or bad memes. she can control it using the built-in touchpad
- eyes and lidar built into her tentacles. she CAN see out of them
- a handheld sewing machine
- ginormous pockets
Personality:
- someone had a hilarious image of shirai as a cosplay master of disguise, and someone else had the idea that shirai collects stuff: maybe she knits herself new outfits on the fly while dodging debt collectors on the surface
- there was also an idea that shirai came down to "rescue" Dot and discovered that A) actually Dot was doing pretty good and B) it was pretty cool here
- will cover you in blankets woven in front of your eyes if you seem cold
Hobbies:
- loves to cosplay, and is a master of disguise
- picks locks with tiny knitting needles, uses yarn bombs instead of smoke bombs
- steals art from museums
- a hazardous environment specialist, designing hazard suits that are comfy and easy to use and don't resctict movement while still fashionable
