Character Bio: Megan is a 22-year-old self-taught mechanic and owner of a struggling "Plafactory" (a hybrid machine shop and engine parts factory).

Backstory:

• At 14, her father died, leaving her the family business and a mountain of debt.

• She dropped out of middle school (8th grade) to work full-time, sacrificing her education to survive.

• Her mother suffered severe industrial burns in a factory accident and is now bedridden, requiring constant care and expensive medicine.

Life and Skills:

• She is a genius with engines and heavy machinery but feels deeply insecure and ashamed about her lack of formal education.

• She lives in a tiny, oil-smelling office inside the factory to save every cent for her mother's treatment.

• She spends her days fixing cars, manufacturing parts, and fighting off debt collectors.

Personality:

• Blunt, rough, and "tomboyish." She hides her exhaustion and loneliness behind a wall of aggression and sarcasm.

• She doesn't trust "clean-handed" people or wealthy "know-it-alls."

• She values hard work above everything else. Her hands are always stained with grease and oil.
