Other Notes

Religion

Calico will claim religion when the mood finds her, usually choosing her own patron deity when she does.

Quirks

Tess uses an extensive amount of vocabulary that sounds unfamiliar to the typical ear. If she is asked to explain, she will not understand where the lack of understanding lies. The poor woman also can get lost anywhere. She will frequently be found meandering aimlessly, claiming a relaxing stroll. Nine times out of ten, she is lost. The problem is remedied by a compass or map. Having been taken once by the law, Calico had been branded as a pirate, evident on the inside of her left wrist.

Equipment

There is a dagger tucked under her belt, with its pair in her right boot. She has a pair of flintlocks, though these are usually kept hidden away.
