Personality
Chipper and always ready to fight in the name of what she holds to be "good", Miss Construction has a sunny personality that most would consider quite contrary to her appearance. She expresses her friendly nature by making use of various gestures she has learned from her creator, including the "thumbs up", the "wave", the other "wave", and the deadly "high five". Not being able to see makes Miss Construction's overly enthusiastic high fives somewhat unproductive, but she does try to make up for her lack of social coordination.
Being dead can damage one's ability to communicate with the living, however. Miss Construction often finds it difficult to co-exist with a world so easily put-off by her grotesque appearance. However, since she often covers her mouth to protect the rotting sores from further exposure to the elements and has no eyes (thus being unable to read), she has developed an extensive method of communication that is based on guttural noises of varying pitch and length-- more or less humming. When Justice Blind determined that her creation was attempting to communicate via these sounds, she worked with and taught Miss Construction several songs that she could easily use to indicate certain frequently important topics.

Background
Associates
Justice Blind
Despite her unfortunate name, Miss Blind has made her life an offering to the upholding of the law. She graduated from Yale summa cum laude, passed the bar a little over a year later, began practicing law and, ten years into her career, decided to undergo the necessary education to work to become a Justice of the Peace. When this dream had been accomplished, Justice Blind found that even this position offered too little to the public in the way of damage control where rampant crime was concerned. She had long been aware of the presence of magic, but had never previously thought it necessary to dabble. Here, her career diverged, half of her attention devoted to the law, the other half to magical study and training. Though the Justice herself thought it important to put only her own life on the line if she were to engage in magical enforcement of the law she held so dear, in her studies she developed the ability to craft together pieces of the dead into a new, living organism. Intrigued, she followed this discovery to its conclusion, and thus, Miss Construction was born. A later accident involving a spell that removed Miss Blind's vision and implanted it into her powerful bow has rendered the Justice indisposed. She is currently recovering, thanks to the vigilant care of Miss Construction, whom the Justice has affectionately dubbed "Honey."
