No form of extinct life is unknown to the strongest fossil seller.
Ever since her childhood, she made ends meet by excavating fossils with her family, and she earned a lot of attention by digging up an ichthyosaurus fossil at the tender age of 12. Since then, she kept picking up precious fossils for a living and singlehandedly built a market for them among the scholars and aristocrats, along with a personal network.
But her moment of fame was quickly swallowed by the stream of time and buried under the sediment of oblivion...
And yet, it never disappeared entirely. There was something. Something was left behind. Indeed, much like the puzzling fossils that she spent her life pursuing.
Bond 1
Height/Weight: 152cm/50kg (unsubstantiated personal statement)
Source: Historical fact
Region: England
Alignment: True Neutral
Gender: Female
Her birthplace was the rural town of Lyme Regis.
It's a tiny health resort area whose selling point is its saltwater baths. Also famous for producing fossils.
Bond 2
She only teamed up with her partner, the Plesiosaur, after becoming a Servant.
He was deeply linked to her life, of course, but at that time, the dragon was already dead. He perished in the distant past, was buried, and slept as a stone statue.
She found him. No, that's not the right turn of phrase. She met him. They earned a concession to allow this wording. However, even if his forgotten bones are brought back to the surface, he won't wake up, of course.
Bond 3
She's also known by the name Lightning Mary. It comes from one time when she was struck by lightning as a baby but revived. It's one of the most emblematic anecdotes of her life.
To the people of her hometown, she was an oddball who acted far too self-important for an inhabitant of the boonies. The rumors about things she did to curry favor with the scholars and aristocrats were the talk of the town.
To the elite of society (that is, to her customers as a fossil merchant), she was a living miracle.
She was engaging and clever, flattering but forthright, a charming master of the conversation arts. Every single time she led a fossil mining adventure, believe it or not, she
discovered something!
"How did she do it?", the confused people of her hometown wondered. She didn't get a proper education. All she did was learn how to read in their Sunday School, and yet she could argue on even terms with the elite.
Was it the lightning? Precisely! From that moment, she gained remarkable intelligence and an unabashed personality...!
The elite also marveled with curiosity. There was clear knowledge behind her awe-inspiring performances. How in the world did she learn all of this? The legend was right... perhaps?
Bond 4
An innate aptitude to gain support from the women around her (it also takes effect on some men). They get enraptured by her charming and eccentric personality and offer their help.
- Fossil Lady's Great Discovery: A
A talent to find what she's looking for. Handy for reconnaisance.
She uses clever conversation tricks to advance a negotiation in her favor. Her specialty is raising the target's interest in something they didn't want all that much.
Bond 5
Duria Antiquior (A more ancient Dorset)
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 40
Max. Targets: 50 people
She summons familiars modeled after extinct life, takes aim, and shoots them all at the enemies simultaneously. Ideally, she should have a really cool Noble Phantasm that replicated the Jurassic ocean with a Reality Marble, but this is as far as her Rank as a Heroic Spirit can take her.
The loyal members of her team are the Plesiosaur, the Ichthyosaur, the Dimorphodon, the Ammonite, the Belemnite, and her dear dog Tray. All deeply linked with her in life.
