Gretchen Sketch

This is Gretchen, another character in Steamvolt. She's an Elf, and a prostitute. She's one of Lucy's only friends, something that confuses both of their acquaintances, since they have so little in common.

She hangs out at the Skygirl Lounge, which is also where Lucy parks her airship. She frequently loans Lucy money for repairs or parts or just to get food and drinks now and then.

Lucy seems generally disgusted by Gretchen's chosen profession, but makes no efforts to get her to do anything else. She has, on more than one occasion, acted as a bodyguard for Gretchen or roughed up people who give her trouble.

There are several other working girls that spend time at the Skygirl Lounge, and it has evolved from an old defunct nightclub into a bit of a safe haven for local women of ill repute.
