Gender: Female
Age: 19
Birthday: 45, Summer, 496 AV
Birthplace: Suvan Sea
Appearance: Naia is a woman of the sea, whose hair burns red as the waters at sunset, and whose eyes are the clear blue of the waters, showing she carries the blessings of Laviku. Compared to most other human women, she is tall, standing just over six feet, but muscular from a sailor's life and burned bronze by the sun, with a devil-may-care smile for all who look at her. That is especially so when she stands aboard her ship, dressed in boot and coat with the wind rustling her hair and clothes.
Character ConceptNaia, like most Svefra, is a wanderer in love with the seafaring life. She loves the smell of the salty air and the taste of it on her lips, as well as the thrill and danger of sea in the dark moods. She makes her living as a fisherwoman, casting her net to bring in fish to sell for food and survival, but always seeking what trouble and adventure she might find.
Character HistoryNaia's mother and father were both Svefra from the Southern Suvan, fishers and travelers who sailed the Suvan far and wide, having Naia after a particiularly festive night. After she was born, her parents put her in the sea to swim, but that was never her passion. While others loved to be in the water, be of the water, she loved to be on the water, of the wind, that guided and drove her. Especially at night, beneath the stars that shone from above and below, as if she sailed among the heavens.
Those nights at sea were her favorite. The still, clear nights upon the water with nothing but the susurrus of the waves upon the shore and the creaking of her ship, with nothing to see but the sky, and she saw two of those. One above and one below, like walking in a dream that never left her, but tugged at her soul, and the star-city of Lhavit, especially.
But it stayed forever a dream, until the Djed storm of 512 AV. Her pod had been on the edges of the Southern Suvan, bordering the outer oceans when they were hit by the storm. They were scattered, and Naia driven far out to sea. She never found her pod again. Eventually, she found her way back to the Suvan, but the populous Svefra nation she remembered was no longer the same. Her people had been hit hard.
Naia drifted between pods for a while, still dreaming now of the journey to Lhavit, until eventually, she decided to make the trek and set out on her own, accompanied part of the way by an adopted pod, but then eventually on her own, hoping for to find a new pod in Lhavit or the surrounding ocean she can join permanently.
