When it comes to alchemy, Idonea Culpepper is undoubtedly a genius. In fact, she is the famed mad alchemist of Ylatt Tower who created the (flawed) elixir of life. However, she tends to play fast and loose with ethics. This results in her experiments having unexpected consequences. For example, her age fluctuates between 28 and 12 years old. The amount of time she spends at each age isn’t consistent: sometimes it’s 2 weeks, sometimes it’s 2 hours.
She uses a support multitool in her research. Like a harness, it keeps her waist in place so that she remains in the same position during her age fluctations. Additionally, she can operate it to hover above ground and manipulate multiple heavy objects at a time.
Thanks to funding from Gertrude Rosenfeld, she is able to create potions for nearly any purpose. To that end, she drinks copious amounts of coffee to work on her experiments for hours at a time. Despite her workload, she still smiles because she always finds the things she does interesting.
