Orchid Hightide Physical Description Name: Orchid Hightide Race: Svefra Age: 10 Birthday: 502AV, Spring 58th Orchid is already tall for her age though not for a Svefra, standing at approximately 4’9 and weighing around 89lbs and getting scrawnier the longer she stays in Ahnatep. Getting towards that awkward age or perhaps simply still habitually trying to walk like on a boat she tends to skip, stumble and otherwise lope along as she walks. Never one for constriction she enjoys loose clothing (or none) and bare feet. Her hair(dirty-blond) and usually stays about waist length unless she cuts wrong and is mostly in knots around her face because she can’t be bothered to tie it. Orchid has a Svefra’s customary blue eyes and a child’s face, still slightly chubby (though getting on the more swallow side) and developing. Character Concept Orchid is a brash individual with a lot of self-confidence and a unique fearlessness that only children seem to possess. She has a single-minded determination (read: stubborn), fierce loyalty to those who gain it and a bad case of sticky fingers (read: thief). An optimistic and opportunist individual she is not above the occasional fib (read: liar) to get what she wants. While mostly self-sufficient she has always been raised around people and as such abhors being alone and is prone to mild panic attacks when left alone for too long. Mischievous and frank she tends to go overboard with her teasing and is unsure as to where a line must be drawn, though this is simply a childish trait of hers. Her mouth has also yet to acquire a filter and many of her basic Common words consist of swears she has picked up when there were travelers on her parents ship. Dislikes : Being alone The dark Jellyfish Likes : Storms Spicy food Character History There is not much to tell in Orchid’s history, still young and learning life, content with childhood and the flippant and adventurous life of a sailor. However, during the storm in Spring her pod was traveling along the Southern Suvan and, after a being caught on the wrong wave, capsized and was lost (as many were). Originally washing up on Eyktols coast and pure luck had a Benshira family traveling and looking for their own lost. Unable to help her onto a sea voyage they dropped her off in Ahnatep. For now she is now stuck within the city trying to figure out how to commandeer (read: steal) a ship for herself or at least find a fellow Svefra.

What exactly the bird thinks of Orchid isn't really known but she tends to think of him as an extra older brother only more annoying. He tends to come to her rescue and often scouted for her seeming to get very agitated and protective when she cried.

Ship Casinor aka Shelly Shelly is Orchids Casinor. Given to her by one of her elder sisters is was her mothers original ship and is decent condition. Converted to suit Orchids needs she was slowly being taught to use it and take care of the beloved vessel. Before the storm it was often dragged along by her fellow Pod members boats and as such disappeared with them during the storm. She hopes it is still in one piece with her pod. Casinor Info : A small, personal ship no longer than 30 feet with a single cabin. More than twice the size of the average rowboat, this ship is capable of traversing inland seas and coastal areas though it is unequipped to travel on the open ocean. The most common personal ship found among the Svefra. These ships are often found employing heavy harpoons for defense. Much of the free space on the ship has been converted into living quarters thus cargo is limited to 500 lbs. While it may carry a number of passengers, these boats are designed for a single person spending extended periods at sea. Crew: 1, Passengers: 5
