(Note: This is a work in progress ;D)
NAME: Heloise (pronounced Hel-oh-wees) Watson
____________________________________________________
Appearance: At 5'8", Heloise isn't a very imposing figure and her frame is taught from a life spent in a machinery workshop. Her long, ginger hair is constantly up in a messy bun and her green eyes are usually hidden behind a pair of goggles. The nicest clothes she owns are the ones with the fewest stains and scorch marks. Of course, every bit of it is functional, durable, and has a lot of pockets.
Demeanor: Heloise is not a people person. She doesn't have a problem with people or company, but she's very blunt and speaks frankly. This behavior doesn't earn her very many friends. Of course this suits her just fine. It's machinery that she really cares about.
History: The Watson name is one that has been attached to flight since it's inception. Not the visionaries now famous in history, but the ones behind the scenes, in every stage of development making sure that things actually worked and worked well.
Grandad Watson was the inventor of the system that allows what is known as "Titanic Flight" possible. This drew the attention of an aspiring gent Holland White. Holland White, a well connected government contractor, stole Grandad's design right out from under him while the entire Watson Shop was on the payroll. First Heloise's father, then Grandad disappeared (aka liquidated) and Heloise did the only thing she thought she could do. She went into hiding and sabotaged the flagship of titan flight, the White Goliath, as it made it's maiden departure. The sight of the Goliath violently shaking apart under it's own power, causing it's ordinance to explode, and sending huge bits of shrapnel at fantastic velocities, caused the press to dub it a "disaster of indescribable proportions".

however the damage and efficacy is dependent solely on your Swashbuckling skill. So unless you can find a wrench that somehow has +swash on it (sadly, it's not possible in the ruleset) then it's not going to help you in a fight much. However for flavor purposes, saying you're trying to clock someone with a wrench is perfectly fine.
