Kingfisher

Name: Leenane Nic Fiacc
Age: 26
Sex: Female
Species: Human
Ethnicity: Serenian
Height: 5'4" (162.6 cm)
Occupation: Sailor/Pirate
Residence: ...

Physical Description
Leenane is slim and fair, traits common to her people.  She has narrow features; widely spaced, almond shaped green eyes, and pink hair grown to her shoulders and usually done up in a simple pile, concealed under a simple bandana.  She has taken to tattoos, with her left arm covered in blue-black fish scales and a seascape over her right shoulder.

She is not wholly divorced from her culture, favoring lightweight clothes.  However, rather than the long robes of her people, she wears simple sleeveless blouses and loose-fitting pantaloons.  Her brow is wrapped in a pattered bandana, and she wears a long gold bar across the upper portion of each ear.

She wears a short hanger below her left hip and a dagger across her lower back.  She rarely wears any sort of armor: steel is expensive and leather is simply too cumbersome to be practical.

Hanger
A short, single-edged sword with a broad, 20-inch blade, ideal in close quarters against unarmored enemies.  It is uncurved, with two fullers: 16-inch at the spine and 10 inches just in front of it.  It features a straight knuckle guard parallel to the handle and a steel plate over the back of her hand.  The wooden handle is a pair of glued scales bound in red sharkskin and ends in a simple pommel that curls under the pinky to snugly bracket the hand.

Dagger
A moderately large dagger with a simple, 11-inch, single edged blade.  Its hilt is a single piece of carved whale bone, featuring a bollock design with a pair of round lobes to act as a guard with the grip itself swelling toward a brass plate at the opposite end.

Personality
Leenane is, above all, headstrong.  She has her own ideas and knows what she wants.  Gods help any who get in her way.  She can come off as simply greedy but growing up in Serendipity, she quickly learned to associate wealth with freedom.  She despises poverty and class and refuses to let herself be swayed from her chief goal.

She is not heartless, and sympathy can draw her to the aid of people she can relate to.  However, she must look after herself first and will not part with what is hers, even to aid the most destitute.

Magic/Abilities
  • Aeromancy: Divination by the reading of air.  She can predict storms and changes in the wind, as well has detect magnetic north via electricity in the air and otherwise.  Preternaturally reinforces her navigational ability.
  • Storm Magic: Her sylphid ancestry has given her some power over the weather and related phenomenon.  She is able to manipulate wind and summon lightning, boons given her career.
  • Navigation: A mathematical understanding of cartography and course plotting.  Leenane can use aeromancy to complement this skill.
  • Helmsman: The strength and experience to handle the tiller of a sailing vessel.  Understanding of the points of sail and exploitation of the wind.
  • Iron Immunity: Her days as a merchant mariner have exposed Leenane to foreign cultures and foreign semantics.  Over time, she has learned that "iron" and "steel" are the same material, despite internal propaganda and superstition, turned real by magic.

Relationships
  • No family that matters

History
Leenane was born into a fishing village in northeast Summervale and spent much of her early life around oared and sailing craft.  She studied navigation and seamanship under her father but found the life of a fisherman too quiet.  She longed for a sense of adventure and eventually made her way to one of the prominent merchant hubs.

Her history and experience were not precisely unusual among those that sought the sea, being she had always been a natural on the water, with gifts and abilities that set her apart from her peers, seeing her popularity among captains rise.  However, she is not especially fond of the regimented lifestyle of a merchant mariner, and she prone to avarice.
