Nobella

Nobella is a core ally and deuteragonist of the third Act of The Rift Maker. Originally part of a mass-produced line of military-grade bomb drones, Nobella mysteriously gained sentience and was promptly taken under the wing of Satin. Though quite naive to the ways of the world, Nobella sports a contrastingly extensive knowledge on all things explosives, both in the properties and differences between bomb types, as well as the apt usage of said bombs. 
== History ==
The notion of life is a very contentious talking point when discussing the grand macrocosm that is our universe. Across every species and race that exists across the galaxy, no matter their differences or backgrounds, the same underlying question is shared: "What does it mean to live? What defines an entity as truly alive?" Although many interpretations and hypotheses have been postulated over the course of history, not a single one of them could possibly explain the existence of Nobella.
Satin first met Nobella when he was anonymously tipped off to an illegal operation being stationed in an abandoned munitions factory. Though he found no trace of the supposed contraband, what he did find was an active bomb drone, strolling about within the dark and decrepit halls of the facility. The specific model for this kind of drone was one designed for remote infiltration of hardened bunkers, and subsequently busting them open from the inside with an adequate explosion. Although complex AI capable of thinking and feeling has long since existed, these drones were never equipped with such systems (doing so would be awfully cruel). And yet, this drone, whose active status already raises the question of how its able to be powered in a long forgotten facility, displayed behavior symptomatic of a learning brain. To begin, it was speaking; on repeat, it would incessantly blabber the words on the walls like a parrot. Upon seeing Satin, who likely was the first new thing in a while, the drone approached the squid with unmistakable curiosity. This drone acted very much like a toddler. Satin was understandably unsettled by this aberration, this affront to nature that looked on at him with the gaze of a child. However, much like his esteemed hat, an estranged feeling of familiarity emanated from the drone. This feeling could not be ignored. Reaffirming his resolve, Satin scooped the drone up in a bag, and took it home.
== Abilities ==
Nobella's abilities are all derived from her innate functions as a bomb drone. Although these abilities are not unique to Nobella, her applications of them set her apart from the average bomb.
=== Bomb Generation ===
Nobella can generate an explosive device in a compartment found on her rear end. The bombs are created using a sophisticated and advanced process which involves the dynamic conversion of a transformative fuel source. This ability was intended for use by the drone in the event that it could not feasibly get into a desired location, where it would instead dispatch a separate bomb in its stead. Nobella is fully capable of detonating on her own, but as that would require forfeiting her unique existence, she only utilizes her secondary bombs as advised by Satin.
=== Infrared Vision ===
Tooled for the express purpose of seeking out enemy bodies to destroy, Nobella instead prefers to use her infrared vision for its assistive potential. She is able to detect the heat signatures of living organisms within a decently sized radius. Her vision can go through walls, and she is able to differentiate body heat from external sources of thermal energy, making her a particularly reliable scout for her allies. However, if the enemy sports an ability that masks their heat signature, she has no means of deducing their position.
