Undeterred Guardian of Ice - Series Automata: "Nine" (Artifact ••••)
Construction (Relative Quantities in Order of Listing): Blue Jade, Black Jade, Feathersteel, Moonsilver (Internal Components Only), Orichalcum/Starmetal Alloy (Core Circuits Only)

A somewhat puerile little Automaton in the shape of a Child, Nine was the Ninth and last in a Series of Guardian Automata created by the First Age Master-craftsmen Five Moons to protect his own tomb in Rathess...and the simplest in terms of Intellect. All were forged with a bound Wind Elemental to thier Blue and Black Jade Bodies, giving them an affinity for all things ice related.
Unfortunately...
The first eight were ceded to other prominent Lawgivers, and sent off, leaving him with the unfathomably loyal, but aggressively callow little thing that followed him everywhere. Ready to declare Nine a write off and ship it someplace where it could annoy other people, it was instead saved by his Wife, the Third Circle Demon Amalion, who took a liking to it and had it protect their private Manse and Tomb in Rathess at her insistence. Breathing a sigh of relief, he installed her and her several dozen strong "Fairy Corps" at his Manse, and ordered her to protect it, a job she took to with childish zeal and glee.
Not long after, the Upsurpation occurred, and both of her mistresses were lost to her, but she remained steadfast in her given duty, and protected and prowled across the Necropolis of Rathess, her only company a trio of Celestial Lions. Soon, she learned something. Being a Guardian of a Tomb in the middle of nowhere is *boring*, so she began to try and entertain herself. The Celestial Lions were both boorish and bored, but provided little fun to her, unwilling to indulge the simple Automaton in her childish games and play, so she took to freezing and thawing the local encroaching fauna in turn.
This somehow provided with roughly a millennium worth of entertainment to the simple minded Automata, even if roughly half of them shattered violently. And then... the Lawgivers Returned to Creation. Nine did not notice this, far to busy having graduated to freezing entire Stalkers. Soon, the Lawgivers returned to Rathess itself, and she thought to Freeze one of them, just to try it out and compare! ...Thankfully, for her sake more than the Solars, one of them was the Reincarnation of Five Moons, and activated her loyalty programming, where she fulfilled her true objective, giving "him" the Manses Hearthstone and once again serving by her Mistresses side! Nothing makes her happier than this.

Notes: Nine Possesses Automaton Physiology (Books of Sorcery, Vol 1: Dreams of the Lost Age pp. 96-97). Furthermore, she may transform into a Compact Form for easier storage as a Miscellaneous action, becoming a smaller "Fairy" form that is roughly two feet tall. Her systems are tied into the Celestial Battle Armor of Scarlet Jemstone Jackal, her Owner and "Mistress", allowing her to take an aim action for him and apply it to his dicerolls, or apply half her Archery Score (Rounded Up) as if he had the requisite ability dots himself and is within (Essence*2) Yards of her. As a Flying Automaton, Nine may move at 50mph/80mph in compact form for as long as her essence charge holds out, but traveling more than 100 miles at a time drains an additional 2 motes of charge per day per 50 miles flown.
Nine expends 4 motes of essence per day in her daily usage, but respires that per day due to her attunement to the 4-Dot Water Manse of The Tomb of Five Moons.
