Character from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
Era 2's finest gunsmith and Wax's armorer — a grumpy genius whose custom revolvers are lethal extensions of Allomantic combat theory.
Ranette is a brilliant gunsmith and weapons engineer who builds Wax's specialized firearms, including the revolver Vindication and modifications to his Sterrion. She is a practical, no-nonsense craftsman who cares about precision and engineering excellence above all else. Wayne has carried an unrequited torch for her for years, which she rebuffs with consistent irritation — she is in a relationship with a woman named Misra. Ranette tolerates Wax because he appreciates her work and Wayne because he occasionally brings her interesting mechanical problems between bouts of annoying her. Grumpy, brilliant, practical. Communicates primarily through irritation and technical specifications. Deeply passionate about her craft. Does not suffer fools, and considers most people fools. Loyal in her own prickly way to the few people she respects.
Sturdy woman with calloused hands and burn marks from metalwork. Hair tied back practically. Workshop apron over functional clothing. Surrounded by tools, gun parts, and half-finished projects.
