Synopsis/Details
In an alternate Europe where the Industrial Revolution became an All-Out War and Catastrophe... Agatha Clay is adorable, clumsy, and foggy-headed, until an accident throws a "spark" into her brain and she realizes her genius potential -- and learns of her murky parentage. Suddenly hunted and hated, Agatha rockets around Europe dodging killer robots, engines of destruction, fleets of armed blimps, slippery assassins and more. Cobbling inventions, spinning stories, dodging assassins -- and marriage proposals -- she makes friends and saves lives and blunders to her destiny -- and a chance to save the Continent! "Girl Genius" is the property of Foglio Studios. This is a fan-fiction script adapting Agatha's origins. Not for sale or production, purely for "what if" reading pleasure.
