Formerly the second highest ranking Link-Tuner within the Tool Toul To, Zetchy (as she likes to be known) was actually in line to become the next ruler of the world of Tuners, Pledge Queen of the Ring Road, but then on a moment's notice did what no Tuner ever considers doing... She left the Tool Toul To. Having no ambitions to rule or lead, this extremely skilled Tuner tried putting it all behind her so she could pursue her true passion: Bar tending. Laugh not, for she is one of the world's best mixologists, having coined many brand new cocktails of her very own creation and having earned several awards for her skills at it. The reasons for her departure from the Tool Toul To are personal and only known among the top lieutenants themselves, though why she would try to give up on Tuning, no one could ever quite figure out. Despite no longer being a member of the Tool Toul To, Zetchy is beloved (in a fatherly-daughterly way) by the current Pledge King, Thomas Sterling, and even with the suddenness of it all, she left on good terms. Because of this, she was put in charge of the main Tool Toul To safehouse in Stegeda City: The Afterlife bar (which she later renamed "The Night Sky" bar), which used to be, by lack of a better word, a dump, something that always caused suspicion when Tuners suddenly flocked to it... But under her talented hands, that bar has become the hottest bar in all of Stegeda City, so much so that it now has a bouncer keeping people out, a long line to get in, and you have to be on "the list" to even be allowed to wait in line! Needless to say, the once money sinkhole of a bar now turns a great profit, and as her reward, she was given ownership of the joint so long as she promises to keep it doubling as a TTT safe-house. This safe-house hides in plain sight, no one suspects people going in and out of here due to how crowded it is.

Even though she's not officially with the Tool Toul To anymore, it's well known that she remains firmly under their protection, despite her not wanting it... Anyone who comes after her will have to feel the full weight of the Storm Rider world on them. Not exactly ideal for someone running a bar, occasionally having to get people kicked out... Worse even when she personally does the kicking out from time to time, of her own volition and against the advice of both the bouncers, and Thomas Sterling.

In her younger years, she was a passionate and talented Tuner, Zetchy was scouted to join the TTT by the leader himself, and he personally mentored her in the ways of the Ring Road, learning at the same time as Spencer LaCroix for quite some time. The two (Zetchy and Spencer) have been physically involved more than once but never dated despite there apparently being romantic feelings shared between the two... And believe it or not, she was the one to turn him down, not the other way around, despite how seemingly emotionless he may appear.

Her most well kept secret about herself is that she is infertile, incapable of ever bringing children into this world... A fact she has never told anyone, not a soul.

## Appearance

Rarely dressed provocatively, Zetchy tends to dress more like a punk at a rock concert, and even in the coldest Winter she'll still sport no sleeves without as much as a shiver from her.

Her hairdo is rather elaborate but she's very fond of it, often only changing the color rather than the style itself.

Careful with her shoes as they tend to be boots with steel tips, perfect for kicking someone who deserves it.

She has a rather beautiful back tattoo that she rarely shows, only allowing it to peek momentarily from whatever clothing she wears at the time, never bareback but always hanging just slightly low, just enough to let people know it's there without letting them know what it is.

Despite looking gorgeous, she never wears make-up (aside from lipstick). In fact, hairdo aside, she wakes up in the morning looking like how she always does throughout the day, a gift in and of itself.

## Personality

Wise beyond her years, determined and sure of herself, she knows exactly what she wants and doesn't falter in pursuing it when it is within her reach, exuding confidence to those around her. She can be snarky and sarcastic from time to time. When it comes to her independence, she's very stubborn, the kind to more likely choose death over submission.

She's a damn good saleswoman, convincing too, the kind that could sell ice to an Eskimo. Despite this, she takes little joy from selling, preferring it when the product sells itself.

Very observant and with the gift of reading people like open books, Zetchy is by all definitions a people person, and underneath that almost intimidating modern powerful woman exterior, lays a sweet woman who wishes the best for others... So long as they seek it for themselves, as she is a hard worker and believes only effort can lead to talent. Though she no longer Tunes, she'll still offer advice to fledgling Tuners that seek it, and even to Riders that need it, and with her talent, experience and wisdom, they'd be fools not to listen to her.

She's an artist with her drinks, in more ways than one as she creates newer drinks only when inspiration strikes her, not when someone wants her to.

Despite her many talents, she is a terrible dancer, two left foots really... And yet she still dances like it's no one's business, because as far as she's concerned, it's really no one else's business.

She can drink anyone under the table despite not drinking often... Where does this extremely high tolerance come from? Nobody knows.

Her bar (The Night Sky) is her baby, if you trash it, her death stare will turn lethal.

She knows when to step up and when to step down, especially knowing how to win a fight without having to fight it... It's all about the attitude.

She and Spencer LaCroix remain good friends despite their shared history. Zetchy even tries to play cupid for him from time to time, but the mechanic always refuses.

## Trivia

* There are several rumors going on that Zetchy can find people's deepest darkest secrets simply by staring into their eyes... Little do they know that she started that rumor. The fact that so many people believe it as much as they do, just comes to show just how good she really is!
* She has never been seen in a serious relationship of any kind, having many friends and lovers but never any romantic partner.
* With any excess profit she gets from the bar, instead of keeping it to herself, she either invests back into the bar, or anonymously donates it to charities that help children in need.
* Despite having no ambitions to ever lead the Tool Toul To, she is fully qualified to do it, in fact, she is by far the most qualified candidate to date.
* Even with little practice and experience at it, Zetchy is incredibly skilled with an electric guitar, especially in the rock genre. Though with her Ring Road enhanced ears, she has shaped herself into being quite the musical talent, just lacks the passion to make it more than a hobby.
* The VIP area of her bar is reserved for well known Tuners and well known Riders only, meaning no fanboys, no press, no paparazzi, no random people either, making it the perfect place for Riders to find Tuners without having to deal with the hassle of being famous.
