Martine Sprue, is the self-serious mechanic and part-time lady's maid of Somerset House. Janine described her aesthetic as "if JC Leyendecker drew Rosie the Riveter".
History and Involvement
Martine is close with the Solstice family, and her goal is to impress an important guest from Exanceaster March's group when they come to visit. Martine has a mutual resentment with Vivian Exler, and is very close with the house maid Eileen Lilas. She maintains the family's mechs - including the expensive hunting mech of the often-absent matriarch Crevera Solstice.

When Exanceaster March visits the Solstice House, Martine is among the staff to discover the bomb that his bodyguard Guilford Gain intends to detonate. She successfully disarms the bomb, and when Exler pulls the fire alarm and tells Martine that this is a Millennium Break plan, Marine gets in one of the family's firefighting mechs. She gets credit for saving the family, and Exanceaster offers her a job at the March Anecdatist Foundation which she happily accepts. She does grow sour on the position however, as the reality of cleaning bloodstains out of the fighting mechs begins to dawn on her.
