Character Information
Name: Finealys Nicknames: Fin for most, Lys to those close to her heart Tribe: Water Orientation: Romance has not exactly been at the forefront of her mind, so who knows? Chosen Class: Changes every day Family: None
Appearance: Fin is short, standing at just about 4’; to compensate, she piles most of her long hair on top of her head. It adds a couple inches, and makes her feel just a bit better at having to crane her neck to look up at everyone all the time. Incorporated into every outfit she’ll ever wear is at least a small piece of fishing net, and she wears an old, rusty fishing hook ‘round her neck; there’s a spot on it about the size of her thumb that shines dully in the light.
Base Personality Traits:
☀ Adaptive: Fin absolutely refuses to let the world bring her down. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, and she knows that she’ll get by no matter what comes her way. Flexible and versatile, Fin tends to impress with her work ethic and her willingness to do pretty much whatever someone asks of her. She can bounce from job to job and place to place with relative ease, and there isn’t much that causes her to bat an eye. ☔ Exerimental: A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do… and Fin’ll do juuuust about anything once. That’s fine when it comes to food in new places or trying out a new job – experience is everything, after all. Less fine is when she watches someone leap over a large fire and decides that she needs to try and do the same. Sure, she’d made it (mostly) over the flames and the blaze of adrenaline rushing through her had been wonderful, but she’d also gotten a severe burn on the top of her left foot. All in all, this trait mostly balances itself out. It brings both good and bad her way, and she’s more than willing to take both. ⚡ Reactive: Once her emotions or her gut get involved, Fin is pretty much done thinking. There is no time for reflecting or considering sides; she already has a plan (though often ill-informed) and is following through. This has kept her from being able to truly settle down in any of the lives she’s tried to craft for herself, and also prevents her from actively seeking anything more permanent. Fin has never sat down and thought about what she really wants; she sees what the world around her is offering and reacts accordingly.
History:
If Finealys was ever a slave, she doesn’t remember; if she ever had parents or other family, she’s chosen to forget. It’s easier that way, without any of the baggage she watches so many of her elders drag heavy behind them wherever they go. There’s not many memories in her, at least not any that are more than four years old. She remembers coming to Nated by ship, and she’s pretty sure it wasn’t the first time she’d traveled that way. The rest – what she calls ‘the Before’ on the rare occasions that she speaks on it – is lost to whispers in the wind and her dreams. Young and without anyone to shelter behind, Fin realized she’d better get to creating her own life pretty quickly. Or lives, really – if she only had one and she lost it, that would be a tragedy. With a host of them at her disposal, she’ll always something to fall back on.
In Nated, she put herself to learning about boats, because the lives of everyone there seemed to hinge on the things, one way or another. While she wasn’t really old enough to do more than fetch and carry and hold things in place, she watched and she soaked it all in. Begging for work and being willing to do whatever anyone asked of her earned Fin enough food and goodwill to thrive despite her lack of family. She learned to patch sails and tie knots, and found delight in creating nets of all sizes to sell to the fisher-folk of Besaji. That part was so enjoyable that, when the chance came she hopped a boat to that very village. There she built a life as a fisher, finding a place with an elderly couple that had lost their son to slavery. Fishing was wonderful… but the weight of the baggage that Ildrim and Naivarra carried with them began to drag her down as well.
Back to Nated she went, though she was careful not to knock holes in any of her boats before she left; she would never willingly end one of her lives. When she can manage it, she sends bits and pieces of treasure that she’s earned or found their way. She visits as often as she dares, and Ildrim and Naivarra are the closest thing to ‘family’ and ‘home’ that she has.
Boats and ships and sail repair were the absolute last thing on her mind after she watched a traveling gypsy dance along the beach in the rays of a dying sun. It was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen, and Fin was determined to make that her next life. She talked her way into joining the gypsy on his journey to Edrao, and picked up a few tricks. Fin might have stayed with him, but he turned his attention to the wider world of Tendaji, and for the first time, she hesitated. She wasn’t ready to leave Matori yet, and some part of her knows she won’t be until Ildrim and Naivarra pass away.
Still, since then she has managed to see every settlement Matori has to offer, and picked up a host of possible lives to fall into. None of them have quite enough allure to make her stay, but she knows she’s running out of time to choose. Those who were once willing to let her sit and learn at their feet now want commitment – they don’t want a child trapped in a woman’s body only looking to feed herself for a few days before moving on. She knows that soon she’s going to have to pick a life and really make it hers, but… she’s just not quite ready to make that leap.
After all, she still hasn’t tried her hand at being a temporary priestess, or learned how to tame a beast. She’d harbor regret in her heart for the rest of her life if she picked a forever-trade without doing either of those.

Relationships
NPC’s
Ildrim – a elderly male of the Water tribe who makes his living as a fisherman in Besaji. He welcomed Fin into his home after finding her wandering the beach one night, and has considered little Lys as good as his daughter ever since.
Naivarra – Ildrim’s wife, who was a bit more reluctant to accept Fin, her heart still broken over the loss of her son despite the passage of over ten years. She and the girl managed to reach an uneasy truce before Fin departed the first time – absence and distance turned the feeling into love, and she has at last accepted the young stray as her daughter.

Plot Ideas Right now, these are mostly just what kinds of relationships I think would be good for her to develop; later there will probably be other things
Fin’s Family: Having (deliberately) forgotten most of her past, Fin isn’t really on the search for anyone who might have known her in the Before. Still, she might have someone out there, somewhere. If her memory is triggered by a ghost from her past and they don’t mind, she might latch onto them like a barnacle clings to a ship. Unless they’re terrible, in which case they won’t be invited into any of her lives.
Stabilizing Influence: Fin could really use someone to help keep her steady and badger her into picking a life path. It might be someone her age who’s a bit steadier than she is, or perhaps an older brother or sister. Either way, she could really use someone who doesn’t mind the way she leaps from place to place (and idea to idea, and job to job, and passion to passion) and can help her land somewhere solid for once.
Rivalry’s Fire: Seeing someone else do something interesting often prompts Fin to try and do the same. Anyone with any special talents they like to display could well earn themselves a tag-a-long who is constantly trying to outdo them. They may not necessarily dislike each other, but Fin isn’t going to rest until she proves that she can do… whatever it is too. Maybe not as impressively, but still – it counts.
