Ta'naja "Lilac" Caro

NAME:Ta'naja "Lilac" Caro
AGE: Mid 20-something-- tracking age is for people with calendars
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5'10", 150 lbs
HAIR COLOR: Dark brown
EYE COLOR: Dark
ETHNICITY: Summer Isles;
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: The islander's bronzed skin is laced with as many scars as bold-lined tribal tattoos, and her curly black hair woven tightly into dreadlocks. She has no piercings for fear of presenting a painful handhold to an enemy.

FACE CLAIM: Pending, I'm bad at face claims. Might do an art instead. Ta'naja's closest ethnicity match is a built Polynesian woman. Taking suggestions. D:

BIRTHPLACE: Summer Isles
POSITION/IMPORTANCE: First Mate of the [Name Pending], pirate vessel
HOBBIES:
Nautical Macrame - A common seafaring passtime, and an excellent way to keep fidgeting fingers occupied.

Wire work jeweller - True to her Summer Isle roots, and it's like macrame, but with wire and shinies! Bonus: piracy scores her 'free' materials to work with. Also applicable making sea-deity appeasing fetishes.

Whittling - Another easy pass time on the high seas.

"Conservationist" of the arts - There's significantly less damage done to works of art when she's on the raiding team-- by violent design. She doesn't keep it, but sells it to people she knows will tend to it.

Combative fitness - Yes, the seafaring life lends to toned muscles and a strong core, but that's only a piece of combat prowess. She trains. A lot: hand to hand, swords, rapiers, knives, bottles, poles, ropes- anything that may lend her advantage on the boat-boarding battlescape.


DISLIKES: Spoon-suckers (nobility), un-earned authority (nobility, appointed positions of power), sadism, sheep (of the human variety), arrogant stupidity (one of her favorite things is to heckle such individuals)

PERSONALITY:

• Confident
• Indominable
• Competetive
• Valorous
• Calculating
• Open-minded

BACKGROUND:
Ta'naja Caro was born and raised in a Summer Isles fishing village with expectations of following in her mother's footsteps as a scrappy fishmonger's wife. Such was the fate of many a girl for many a generation, but Ta'naja's mother had a brother that defied expectation. He took to the sea, yes, but in a life of piracy-- and he was good at it. His sister's family benefited from his spoils over many years, and so when he returned with his own commandeered vessel as Captain Caro and beseeched the aid of his sister's son to maintain his newfound title, they were obliging if begrudging. So it was with one son, then two, but when he came again for a third son, he was refused-- they had to secure their own future with their remaining sons. And so it was that Captain Caro returned to his growing fleet of two with his favorite neice instead of a third nephew. Caro stock was sturdy, Ta'naja was eager, and family loyalty could not be bought. Fledged under the guardianship of her uncle and her two brothers, the "Lilac" Caro grew formidably ruthless in her own right over the years, and so when she was chosen as first mate on her brother's ship, the crew aired no complaint.

LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN: Common, Summer Isles; select curses in others

FLAWS:

• Uneducated and illiterate - not stupid, just not schooled.
• Superstitious - the sea is a fickle mistress, it pays to heed omens and give respect to unseen powers, especially the ones you've unfamiliar with.
• Zealous fury - anger is a hell of a high, especially in righting wrongs against you and yours.
• Thimble guts - kept in utmost confidence: she can't hold her liquor, so she abstains entirely as the martyred 'designated rider' (pirates get up to crazy shit, my man).
• Unfiltered - "Diplomatic finesse? Is that some kind of Almathori fish?"

DESIRED PLOTS

• Swash, swash, buckle, buckle
• Vitriolic Will-They-Won't-They odd coupling
• Arcs that further the world's culture, religion, and other lore funsies
