Name: Änna
Color: Tö
Aptitude: Tailoring
Aptitude Focus: Defensive

Änna is the youngest daughter in a long line of haberdashers, tailors and other assorted craftstöans, still, when the opportunity presented itself to attend SASGY on a Siegeball scholarship she jumped at it.

Playing Card Engineering against Water Sabotage
Seeing their lack of water supplies, Änna sat down and began tailoring new water pouches that team members could use to haul more water from the river with every run. Gone would be the days when players had to labouriously carry individual containers of water while under enemy fire. With these new pouches strapped to their back and front they would be able to carry just as much water, while having their hands free for fighting.
Tailor water pouches: 1d100+9 87

Walls:
Clearly the answer had to be security through obfuscation. If the team simply erected a giant tent over their base the enemy team wouldn't know where to target any of their siege weaponry.

Änna steepled her fingers as she heard that the enemy was advancing through the tunnels. An avid reader she was intimately familiar with the tactics of the last war, and in particular one of Tö's greatest hordes, the Unexpectables.
One seldomly repeated part of that history was that of Grumbus, definitely the model soldier of the pre-war armies, if your image of a soldier was that of an unwashed lout, festering with disease.
Among his arsenal was a bag so foul and filled with hungry slinkers that it had reached a sort of infamy of its own.

While it had been hard work, Änna had been busy preparing knockoffs of this weapon prior to the game and was now starting to make the rounds, passing them out to everyone who planned on entering the tunnels to stop the enemy advance. In the tight and dark environs these bags and their horrifying payload would be most effective indeed.

Flashback: Equip Underventurers team with Knockoff Hörrifying bags: 1d100+5 44

Keep proposal:

For her Keep proposal, Änna had dug through her maths textbooks and decided that probability was going to be their friend:
In the unlikely case that the enemy made it through their defences, the team should put a simple Galtön Box mechanism ahead of their goal: When the enemy dumped their ball into the goal hole, the mechanism ensured that there was only about a 1:4096 chance that the ball was going to make it into the actual goal.

Well, they had made it all the way here. Nothing to be done now but applying some blunt force to the problem. Änna unwrapped the bräss knuckles she had prepared for this and jumped into the wild melee that was unfolding.

"Ahahahha, yes ahahaha, YES!" Anna was still riding the high of a successfull melee brawl. Nobody would stop her from scoring, definitely not these pansies with their friendship and teamwork. Grabbing one of her creations Änna ran ahead and started clearing out the opposing forces to make sure the ball could advance quickly.

Coming out of her berserk state Änna was mostly tired, but the hot springs water had been thoroughly muddied by the others soaking way too long and the ball was on the move towards the enemy team anyway, so instead Änna fell back on the tactical strategems they had worked out before the game, saving her the effort to come up with her own plan.

Tactics vs Striking Fire: 1d100+5-5 75

Exhausted from the last fight, Änna decided it was time to break out her pocket rule book for an impromptu inspection of the Flights' fortification and whether it was up to code. Especially the mounting of that gong they had recently acquired! No way this was a safe fashion of transporting such a delicate device!

Rules-Lawyering vs Gong Rescue: 1d100+9-5 55

And while she was inside the enemy structure, perhaps it was time to perform some agressive marketing research. Breaking out her notebook, Änna began to jot down everyone's measurements, adding to her already extensive Measuring Master Manual, containing her entire team's measurements and soon those of the Flights of Fancy as well.

Argh, this wasn't getting her anywhere anymore! Änna stood up from where she had been observing the school's notice board for the last few hours. She collected the Mighty Measuring Meter, a rickety construction of several measuring tapes and bars located right in front of the board, and grumbled how she already had the measurements of everyone who regularly consulted the board. The location of the Meter had allowed her to quickly get a large percentage of the school population's measurements as she just had to keep watching the board and read off the various tapes whenever someone stepped in front of it. But over the last few days this source had increasingly dried up, as the last holdouts she was missing from her class apparently never bothered to check with the board.
Frustrated Änna retreated to the Arts&Crafts room she had occupied with her various projects. While she technically had been assigned a room somewhere in the dorms, she hadn't been back there ever since her bed had broken while she was using it. But it had been no big loss, as most of her time outside of mandatory classes was spent here anyway. Grumbling, she pulled out a long list of SASGY's faculty she had stored here and crossed off two more names she had finally managed to get measurements for. The frustratingly slow pace had already caused her to join the Siegeball team, which had netted her several new measurements, the teams being a sort of magnet for the unrulier and more chaotic students of the school who she wouldn't get with the Mighty Measuring Meter. Maybe now was the time to expand her list of targets, as soon new teams would be visiting SASGY to compete in the 5th Öatsie. Her captain Hardsy had mentioned that he had an in with someone from the Tourney Committee and sizing up the competition was apparently an integral part of the sport. Yes, this would serve nicely to cover up her personal interest she decided. Before she left however, she took the time to replace the lemon yellow tie she had been wearing all day with a fresh canary yellow one, after all she wouldn't be caught dead wearing the same ensemble for more than 4 hours at a time.

Team rumour: I hear the Cheaters have been especially bold as of late, impersonating judges and bribing officials into letting them do whatever they want. They're only getting away with it because the dad of one of their players is the Siegeball League's president, but as long as he's on the field they can practically do whatever.

Änna has been hard at work developing colour compositions and design elements for her next projects, taking over a solid chunk of the art club's space and supplies in the process.
