Description

At first glance Marina is a tiny woman with bright amber eyes and dark brown hair. She looks easily enough someone you might want to sit down and talk with. When approached however it is clear that the young woman has seen hard work in her life. She has a scar that trails from her left ear down her neck and to her chest and there are many other less frightening scars that mark her body. Her hands are calloused from years of hard work rigging on ships and scrubbing their decks.

Personality

Marina is a kind woman beneath it all but few see that side of her in public. As a Thrax woman she has had to work hard to prove herself capable of being a Sailor, Soldier, and Leader and so developed a seemingly impenetrable shell around herself. To most she seems to have a no nonsense personality and projects an unapproachable aura that keeps people from wanting to mess with her.

Marina is strict with those under her command and is not forgiving of disobedience. She expects people to work hard for what they have and values those that push themselves far. She can seem a bit cruel at times but rewards success and obedience by letting people see a glimpse of who she is beneath it all.

Background

Marina was born into the Redleaf Barony with her twin sister Ember. Being in a Thrax Household Marina was treated like her father's property for the first portion of her life. She fought hard to make it clear to her family that she belonged to no one and fought both the social battle and the physical battles of proving herself. Eventually, she and Ember found themselves on their own ship, the two of them working well with one another to form a team well known for the work they perform.

Within the last couple weeks their parents both murdered during a small revolt and the Barony passed along to Ember as a result of Max's declaration that woman can now succeed their parents. Marina and Ember have had to fight to keep the Barony in their control as women, their male family insistent that they can do a better job than any women. So far they have been successful, having the respect of the women and their men. They recently followed Darkwater in abolishing laws that pass thralldom down from parent to child.

At the call of Count Max Darkwater, Marina has made her way to Arx with her sister and their men to join in the defense of Arx.
