You know how there exist tragedies like, say, when a brilliant painter grows up blind? Or history's best programmer happens to be born before the invention of the computer?

Rinara is a utilitarian nerd who grew up as a druid.

She's making up for lost time quite well!

If she appears after she joins Profectus, half her body is living metal.

And it's clear away the timber and it's let the water run,
How it glimmers in the shadow, how it flashes in the sun!
By the silent belts of timber, by the miles of blazing plain
It is bringing hope and comfort to the thirsty land again.
- "The Song of the Artesian Water," Banjo Patterson.
