Powers and Stats
Name: Ranette

Age: Unknown, at least 30

Gender: Female

Classification: Human, Gunsmith, Allomancer, Lurcher

Allomancy
She is a Lurcher, meaning she is able to use Iron in order to pull nearby metallic objects to her. This also produces countless lines of blue light that only she can see, these lines connect to all nearby metals and can show her where any metal is, even if it is behind obstructions, although obstructions do weaken her Allomantic sense.

She does not use this in combat, merely using it to pull distant tools to herself without having to get up and collect them.

Gunsmithery
She is a skilled gunsmith, capable of creating various firearms for Waxillium.

Her most notable creation is that of Vindication, an 8-Chamber Revolver created to fight against Allomancers. With a specially set of locks placed on it so that it could only be used by a Coinshot, and so that it couldn't be used by a foe if it gets taken by him.

Along with this weapon, she also created various Hazekiller rounds created to specially counter specific types of Allomancers.


 * Coinshot Rounds with a ceramic tip that keeps travelling after the metal of the bullet has been pushed away.
 * Lurcher Rounds with ceramic sides that explode when Pulled on, causing shrapnel, said to be harmful but not lethal.
 * Tineye Rounds that make a loud noise when fired and a different noise when they hit, intended to disable rather than harm.
 * Pewterarm Rounds that are larger and packed with more gunpowder, intended to overpower the resilience of a Pewterarm.

She has also created various other weapons:


 * A Specialized Shotgun: A large double-barrelled shotgun made to take on various large bullets and amounts of gunpowder, it has an extreme amount of kickback and is intended to be used along with Iron Feruchemy, in order to increase the mass of the user.
 * Ambersair: A type of revolver Ranette made for Wax
 * Sterrion 36: A six-shot revolver

She can easily identify the creator of various guns, such as identifying the Vanisher's guns as being made by Nouxil.

Firearms
Along with being skilled at crafting guns, she is also quite skilled in using them.
