Maintaineer Baku Hikata

Baku is the ship's engineer and maintenance chief holding the Fantastic Blindness together with duct tape* and sheer willpower. Smallish, colorless, quiet and practically invisible, she roams the ship, tinkering.

self-taught with no formal training in much of anything, Atemu hired her because she would work practically for food and shelter, and he was more interested in saving money than actually getting a professional engineer. Which is fine because he wouldn't shell out for repairs anyway, so Baku's ability to fake repairs Macguyver-style with just about anything she has on hand is a lifesaver--sometimes literally.


 * presumably there is no duct tape in the future, but there must be something comparable--superglue spray or something.
