Operator Shaw tends to get nervous easily. Introverted and slow to speak, she has a tendency to keep running her mouth once she gets going. When engaged in conversation, Shaw spends most of her time struggling to choose the right words, which wears her out quickly. She is a highly dedicated worker, committed to getting the job done, especially in scenarios involving fire or arson.

The petite Shaw managed to win the trust of her peers with her diligence and professionalism in the field of firefighting. The huge fire rescue operation last winter more than proved Shaw's competence: When the irresponsible use of a space heater eventually set a whole building ablaze, Shaw made numerous incursions inside to rescue trapped victims, orchestrating a successful operation with zero casualties. That earned her a personal invite from Wei Yenwu, Chief Executive of Lungmen, as well as headlines in all the newspapers.

With Wei's and the L.G.D's support, Shaw was accepted into Rhodes Island for her expertise in fire safety and prevention. It was an obvious boon to Rhodes Island, since most Operators have little to no knowledge of or training in firefighting. Shaw handily filled the gap.

When Shaw had the chance to inspect the intricate passageways and firefighting equipment on Rhodes Island, and after meeting certain Operators who wield fire Arts at will, she realized she faced a daunting task.

To accommodate Shaw's daily tasks, the installation team at Rhodes Island provided her with convenient, portable firefighting devices and a thermometer, although the latter quickly overloaded and broke down. Operators Skyfire and Ifrit both denied responsibility for the demise of this extremely sensitive tool.

To combat this, Shaw decided to implement an effective, if rather old-fashioned technique: Make a list of theOperatorsmost likely to start a fire, and initiate a firefighting program for the entire Rhodes Island. The first seminar commenced with the notable absence of Dr. Kal'tsit, where Shaw presented materials and slides (including various scenes of major fires and warning signs). The presentation was short, thanks to Shaw's famously fast rate of speech, and the raucous applause made it clear the audience had no clue what she had intended to communicate to them. (Some confessed to hearing a voice but being unable to locate the speaker).

This disappointing outcome only kept Shaw down for about half a day, when she realized that there are many setbacks in life, depression is the death of passion.

Archive File 4

Shaw reports her first memory of fire came from the tragic loss of a beloved fruit vendor to arson. That was when she realized a person can create a Catastrophe from will alone, but will alone won't resolve it. The idea of becoming a firefighting expert took root in her mind, as she hoped to save all the good things in life from the threat of fire. It also strengthened her resolve as a Rhodes Island Operator. When faced with a malefactor out to cause a Catastrophe, she is always willing to stand against it. To Shaw, safeguarding the people from the suffering of an unexpected crisis is as precious and worth protecting as the feeling she gets from buying a big, round apple.

    Module record

    '...highly customized protective module, for a fireproof experience that can't be beat!'

    Catching the commercial coming from the shop, two people in the Lungmen Fire Department gear slow their pace as they pass the display window.

    'Annoyed because your not-so-ordinary horns puncture your protective layers? Worried because you just can't figure out how to stuff that fluffy tail inside your suit?

    'You can trust the OF-6D Multifunction Protective Suit, the professional's first choice!

    'Sharp tapers, towering ears, soft plumage, thanks to the OF-6D's adjustable helmet, you'll always have a comfortable, perfect fit! Special protective horn sheaths designed for Forte, Caprinae, Elafia and more races besides will keep your beloved horns insulated while looking and feeling as good as ever!

    'Whether running rescues or escapes at the scene of a fire, we know the tail is another big concern, but have no fear! With the highly customized tail module, your tail has all the room it needs to flex inside your suit, while still coming out as shiny and fluffy as it went in! Hate squashing it up to your skin and pulling out a felt mat? No more!

    ......

    'What, ad got you hooked?'

    'A little.'

    'But you're an Ægir.'

    'Shut it. I'm thinking of Shaw.'

    They come to a complete stop outside the emporium door.

    'How did Shaw handle her tail again? I think her height only fit our smallest size, but her tail needs the biggest one, if I remember right.'

    'For ordinary jobs, she leaves it hanging out of her suit. For heading into fires, she always wears a size up and wraps her tail around her waist.'

    'Right, right, that's what I mean. I was busy somewhere else when that fire hit a few days ago, but the reports said there was a gap on the scene so narrow only someone short as Shaw could fit through.'

    'Don't bring that up. Coiling your tail bloats the suit too much. Shaw went straight in with her tail out because there wasn't enough time. We rescued the people, but her tail...'

    'Wasn't she uninjured?'

    'You telling me curled hair is an injury?'

    'Sorry. I used to be totally clueless about how you saw your horns and tails and all those parts.'

    'Well, now she's applied for leave. Put two and two together.'

    'I thought she just wanted to chill out for a few days while there were less fires.'

    'Dude!'

    After a moment of silence, the two share a glance, and enter the shop in coincidental unison.
