Description That's right. The Shehemoth is stepping up to bash noggins in the big kid's playground in the Law of Talos tournament run by *Sins-Of-Angels

Further information as relevant to the tourney:

Kit is a confirmed luddite. Her native city bypassed the industrial revolution and experienced economic and social stagnation, allowing for a thriving underworld and a near-constant state of civil unrest. Kit hates machinery with a passion - for one thing, it allows bright people with no muscles to wield power (she can't bear the educated), and once made a machine offers power to anyone. Kit's been working her way to the top of the illegal hierarchy all her life, and nothing is about to mess with that...
On top of that, for a fighting style based on an encyclopaedic knowledge of soft, squishy and painful bits of the body, she finds herself unable to adapt to robots. You can't kick a robot in the nuts - it'd hurt your foot more than them.

Kit speaks in heavily accented cockney, smattered liberally with Thieves Cant (curiously similar to that which thrived in victorian london) - a dictionary of which i have provided here. Hopefully it will be helpful.

Kit's original ref sheet:

(note, nothing has changed from the original save the acquisition of a coat and tophat. underneath, she wears exactly the same clothing, and will abandon both coat and hat for ease of fighting).

Killing. I like the Victorian speech denouncement to explain who she is, it adds character to the ref sheet.

Good luck.

thankyou very much. the victorian speech patterns were a good deal of fun to research - think dickens, alan moore and pratchett combined into hours of notetaking.

... On an aside; I THINK I may know a spoiler for it... I can tell you if you'd like... it's speculation though. My mom Thought this up and it's been haunting me since (Yes; she's a fan of it too...^^ )

"Scandalous display of ankle and calf" XD

Such shocking behavior! Unfitting of a lady indeed!

Love how you gave her her own vocabulary, and very nice of you to include her lexicon in your ref sheet.

well, it's hard enough to write for her unless you habitually drown yourself in Dickens.
