"Your will be done, milady."

- Zwergin

Zwergin is a floating drone that houses a smart learning AI. It accompanies Weiss Schnee and supports her during combat situations.

Appearance
Zwergin is a drone with a sphere-like shape and an artificial eye apparatus, able to fit comfortably in two hands. On its bottom is two retractable guns that fires Dust rounds. Zwergin also contains a special weapons bay that can fit modules suited for specific scenarios.

If needed, Zwergin's outer shell can pop off into seven smaller drones, collectively called Schilde. These smaller drones can assist Weiss's teammates by providing mobile cover or supporting laser fire. The drones can also work together with Zwergin itself to generate a more powerful laser attack.

Specifications
Zwergin is sphere-shaped, with a circumference of about 70 centimeters. The eye apparatus can display a modicum of emotion using an artificial eyelid. The eye itself also lights up in indication when Zwergin speaks through its speakers. The pupil changes colors when Zwergin switches function, such as transitioning from an idle to a combat state.

Zwergin's eye is usually a soothing pale blue. In combat, the eye turns a crimson red. If it suffers intensive damage, the eye turns yellow. After a successful combat situation, its eye turns green for a few seconds.

Zwergin uses cold jet thrusters powered by Plasma Dust to keep itself afloat and oriented correctly. This means that the flame generated by the thrusters can be touched without injury.

Zwergin fires Dust rounds from guns hidden beneath its shell.

Zwergin can make use of special weapons modules that can be added or removed from its shell at will. Modules include: a micro missile pod, a Plasma Dust laser system, a portable Hard-Light Dust shield generator, and more.
