Lira Copperwire

Lira Copperwire
Title: The Rogue Technician
Role: Lira is a young gnome who was expelled from the Engineering Academy for "unauthorized experimentation." She now runs a small, illegal repair shop in the city’s slums, specializing in modifying Aether-tech for "creative" uses. She is a genius with anything mechanical and can make a broken toaster into a deadly weapon with enough spare parts.
Secret Motivation: Lira is obsessed with the idea of "Dragon-Tech"—machinery powered by draconic energy. She has been secretly buying "Scale-Scraps" from scavengers and using them to build a "Dragon-Detector." She has realized that the city’s Aether-grid is being subtly manipulated by a draconic presence, and she is trying to map the source of the interference.
Adventure Hook: Lira’s "Dragon-Detector" starts screaming in the presence of one of the party members (or a specific item they carry). She insists on following them to find out why, eventually leading them to a hidden draconic shrine in the city’s sewers.
