Backstory

Fifteen years selling ward-knots on the breakwater, then a winter swell took her under for six minutes. Something vast looked at her and decided she was useful. She came back with a voice that hums wrong and a debt she can't name - and she tests her limits carefully, afraid of what answers when she pushes too hard.

Appearance

Wiry, late thirties, with kelp-dark hair and salt-cracked hands. Layered wool under a patched oilskin, bare calloused feet. A thin scar rings her throat.
