B&A: Whats Your Character Like?

My character lives in Victorian London in a single room in a block of apartments. She lives alone. She is about 5'2", very skinny (from malnutrition), has fine, pale blonde hair, and one functioning brown eye. The other eye is a clock face, which she always keeps hidden under bandages. She isn't exactly human; she's a sort of clockwork Frankenstein's monster, so she's biologically dead. A devout Catholic before she died, she believes she rejected God's plan in becoming a clockwork monster when she killed her creator, thus locking her soul inside her body. As a result, believing she is already damned, she becomes a mercenary, taking on the pseudonym Judas. She is used by various characters and organizations in the story, since she is to them (and herself, to an extent) just an object to be used. The story ends with her real name revealed: Emma (or maybe Nettie. It depends what suits her best).
