Basic Information
Guys like girls; and guys like cars; so what could be sexier than a gal who fixes cars? Enter the Wrench Wench, a girl who knows her way around a machine shop and can fix anything from a '57 Oldsmobile to Firefly class space freighter. She usually wears overalls and has cute grease smudges on her face; and a monkey wrench in her back pocket to clobber any jerk who tries messing with her power tools.
She's sometimes also a genius gadgeteer and a born tinkerer. See gadgeteer, mechanic, engineer, mad scientist and blacksmith for more ideas.

Game and Story Use
- Every team can use a good mechanic, whether as a PC or an NPC.
- If the group doesn't have a mechanic on their team and their van/spaceship/submarine/whatever gets damaged, you can introduce a Wrench Wench to fix it for them.
- She could easily become a recurring character. As I said, every team can use a good mechanic.
