Description
Quote: “I don’t know which one of you idiots left this toolbox here, but if you go put it where it’s supposed to be right now, that’ll be the end of it. If not, I’m going to take great pleasure in chewing every last one of you out. Any takers?”
Steam Whistle is a 34 year old earth pony mare who lives and works in Baltimare, and is a senior mechanical engineer who works at Moonlight Breeze’s engine factory, in a supervisory capacity.
Physically, she is tall and powerful, having done mechanical work since her fillyhood- primarily with stationary steam engines. She rarely seems to get sick, and lives relatively clean. She does not drink alcohol at all, and has a relatively minor smoking habit with the non-carcinogenic Equestrian cigarettes. She does have a vivid case of heterochromia, but this does not affect her eyesight in the slightest.
She is a commanding presence in the workplace, and she uses her authority to instil proper working practices among the junior engineers in the factory. She does not like workers slacking off while there is work to be done, and she leads by example- showing ponies how things should be done.
Rarely seen without her old, worn, but well maintained toolbelt, she is an engineer through and through, spending lots of her spare time in her shed- which is more of a full-on machine shop than an actual shed. Here she can be found making little metal trinkets and occasionally more complex items like small steam or internal combustion engines as a hobby. These items are, more often than not, sold as a source of additional income.
Steam is actually a more relaxed pony outside of work, and loves nothing more than to read a good book in her beautiful garden, taking in the warmth of a summer’s day. That being said, she does deeply enjoy the rain, and can be found with her eyes closed and face to the sky during any downpour she finds herself in. She says that it’s almost a religious experience for her, for reasons that she doesn’t understand.
As relaxed as she is, however, personal relationships don’t often last long for her due to her working persona bleeding through into her private life, making her rather bossy with a tendency to nag a partner. She is well aware of this bad habit of hers, and is taking steps to avoid this in the future.
With her friends, she is easy-going and calm in most situations, yet has a particularly acid-tongue if you raise her ire. Additionally, as a physically imposing earth pony, she is not afraid to get physical if the situation demands it, though she will avoid fighting if possible.
This tall mare is heterosexual, but couldn’t care less about the species of a prospective suitor, so long as she was loved and respected. A little known fact about Steam Whistle is that she is an inveterate cuddlebug, and adores close physical affection. Ear-scritches, belly rubs, and hoof massages are the order of the day for this unconventional lady.
If you were interested in courting this old-fashioned lady, then one would be well advised to be patient, calm, and not rush Ms. Whistle into anything. Take your time, learn to understand and accept her foibles, and be the gentleman that she needs in her life- and she will repay your loyalty with hers.
Motto: “Hard work and clean living pays off!”
