She's a construct. I rebuilt her around a core taken from the ruins of King Deshret--well, from a much more advanced culture than ours. Finding someone selling an intact core was an incredible stroke of luck...frankly, if that merchant realized what the core was, he'd have charged me more than he did.

She helps me with surveying and carrying my tools...we're working on her being able to take orders but you have to be pretty specific in how they're phrased.
