Artificer (Arti)

The Artificer (Arti) is a Slugcat and a major "villainous" character. A mother who lost her daughter (Emma) and son (Leon) in a brutal attack from the Scavengers, the Artificer is hellbent on killing all of them in a misguided attempt at vengeance.

The Artificer was once a mother of two Slugpups, who used to live peacefully until one of her pups (her son) took a Pearl from a Scavenger Toll because it was "pretty". Enraged, the Scavengers tracked her and her pups down and burned down her home with her and her pups inside, she only survived by overloading her explosive ability and flinging herself out of her home in turn destroying her left eye. to her knowledge neither of her pups survived. The Artificer, devastated by the loss of her children, vowed revenge on the Scavengers, hunting each and every one of them down. the Artificer had become so infamous that her reputation with them is permanently locked at its lowest, and all Scavengers will attempt to kill her on sight.

when not on her murder spree she is very motherly, caring, but strict and tends to be dominant. she doesn't mind other Slugcats, but most are afraid of her.

{this takes place 16 years after Arti's pups were killed, so all characters mentioned would currently be adults.}

Appearance: The Artificer is a maroon Slugcat with white facial features. She has a scar on her left eye, with her skin having a darker patch around the wound.
