Eliza Arachne

=== Appearance: ===
Eliza is a tall and imposing red-haired woman bearing an hourglass figure and regal air, with a perfect complexion that almost glitters and glimmers in the right light.
Beneath her constructed skin lies various complex systems consisting of tiny gears, springs, wires, and strange pistons, with finely cut gemstones and minerals such as diamond, quartz, silver, and gold, in addition to utilizing both fire-forged and frost-forged steels for temperature regulation, leading to a surface temperature akin to normal human skin, with a freezing internal temperature to enhance processing efficiency while protecting against overheating.
=== History and House Arachne: ===
Eliza Arachne is a gearforged that started her artificial life waking up trapped in an ancient, labyrinthine ruin deep underground, a ruin that was formerly a great library, thus finding many ruined books, as well as many more that were still in readable condition, in addition to dozens, if not hundreds of her own kind, all deactivated over time.
This left her all alone with nothing to do but to study these remaining tomes, eventually harvesting the memory gears from the defunct gearforged around them in order to gain knowledge from the memories contained within.
It was in this way that Eliza managed to pass the time, eight centuries of it to be more precise, all this time studying the tomes, memory gears, and her own magical abilities, in addition to a single oddity, the continued presence of spiders, which indicated the presence of small gaps in the walls of the ruin that eventually lead to the outside world, these gaps would serve as the pathway she would carve out to escape into the wider world, spurred on by her hunger for more knowledge.
Elizas' noble house is one that determines succession via what seems to be a line of succession from mother to daughter, although the truth is that Eliza simply crafts a shell of sorts that is periodically upgraded throughout the years before serving as Elizas' new body, allowing her to continue her research while also keeping up appearances.
Although House Arachne traces its' origins and much of its' finances to its' silk trade and the innovations they have made in regards to that commodity, thanks in large part to the role spiders' played in Elizas' release into the world of Golorian roughly seven centuries prior, even being the inspiration for the Arachne name.
However, they are now more commonly known for the artificially-produced creatures and brilliant minds they produce, minds that turn their attention towards technologies and arcane practices, devouring all materials on such subjects with a ravenous curiosity, before finding new and interesting ways of applying both, since that is what Eliza is at her core.
The Arachne house, while remaining mostly independent, was contacted by the Apsis Consortium following the Rovagug Event, offering a number of benefits as a high-ranking member of the organization in exchange for Eliza Archnes' hand in expanding their interests within Absalom and the surrounding regions during the years of hardship, an offer the constructed noblewoman gladly accepted, understanding the value of being the organizations' foothold in Absalom.
=== Personality: ===
Eliza initially appears to be a haughty, egotistical, and somewhat air-headed woman, but this is simply a benign mask, as she is also cold, calculating, ruthless, and lacking any sign of empathy, being utterly devoted to the pursuit of knowledge, she is driven to accumulate vast hordes of information, even if some of that information is never put to practical use.
Eliza is a high-functioning sociopath, through and through, with a love of discovery rather than life, she is less concerned with how her plans and experiments affect others, and is more concerned with studying the results, and while she is by no means a good person, Eliza is not above good deeds, even though such things are done to further her own selfish desire for further knowledge.
