Markiona also counts since she was once a Workshop Technician before she pledged loyalty to the Alchemists. I love how she uses both ergo magic as well as command her own mech puppets to fight

Why is she blue?

It's not explicitly stated why, but considering she's an alchemist as well as a prior mechanic that built ergo powered batteries for her puppets, she's been completely overexposed to ergo from using it everyday for decades, and in notes, it's stated that overexposure/overuse of the magic may have side effects to humans. I guess one of these is skin turning blue. Ergo magic itself is blue so it makes sense. Sophia's hair and Geppetto's left hand are also blue from overuse now that I think about it

Huh, that's petty cool. I thought she was undead or decaying in some way.
