Teras Terrace

Lizzie Burkalter

Lizzie Burkalter is Teras Terrace's resident shoemaker, who relishes the challenge of coming up with footwear for its residents' highly diverse feet. Of course, many of the Terrace's residents don't wear shoes, and many don't wear anything at all, but enough go shod to keep Lizzie supplied in business. Ironically, Lizzie doesn't wear shoes herself on most of her limbs, because, as she explains, they're more arms than legs, and who wears shoes on their hands? She does, however, wear shoes on the two rearmost and shortest of her ten pincered tentacles, less because they're really useful and more to avoid any apparent aspersions on her business from her not using her own wares.

Lizzie likes to advertise that her shoes are made with exotic leather. What this probably means is that she uses the skin of some of Pretorius Technology's failed experiments, but no one really likes to bring that up.
