Fisher Gesha debuts in Blackflame as a diminutive, spider-legged Truegold Soulsmith whose mechanical drudge and goldsteel fishhook mark her as both eccentric and formidable. Over the course of the series she transitions from a hired tutor into a trusted ally whose unparalleled expertise in constructs and madra becomes indispensable to the growing Arelius faction. By Underlord her reputation has spread, and her role expands from Lindon’s personal instructor to a broader mentor whose spider-drudge and Soulsmithing prowess continue to shape the protagonists’ rapid ascent.
Description
A tiny, ancient woman with deeply wrinkled skin and gray hair pulled into a severe bun atop her head. She moves on eight mechanical spider legs forged from madra that emerge from beneath her robes, elevating her small frame. She wears traditional sacred artist robes and carries a massive goldsteel-plated bladed fishhook strapped to her back. She is an ancient miniature woman with hair in a tight bun and a mask of wrinkles. Purple spider-legs of Forged madra raise her to ordinary height, and she wears work clothes appropriate for Soulsmithing with a goldsteel blade on her back. One eye is often magnified by a lens she holds while examining constructs.
