General Information
Pleasing to look at and not particularly memorable, R'atri appears to be your standard adventurer. She has a wide knowledge base on a huge range of topics, though her favorite tends to be history. She's more than happy just to let someone chatter on than to speak herself. For people who love to talk about themselves, R'atri is the conversation partner they've been dreaming of.

Hair & Eyes
R'atri's gaze could be called piercing. Though subtly, it is clear that her left eye is slightly lighter than her right. She's a woman with eyes the color of the sea and, like the surface of the sea, they seem to reveal hidden depths. R'atri is always watching. Always. Her gaze is observant, though it is rare that she voices such observations unless she must. If her raven hair is not tied up to keep it out of her face, it easily falls past the middle of her back to rest in soft waves that somehow perfectly frame her face.
Physique & Markings
Save for the green tattoo under her right eye, R'atri has little in the way of defining markings. Certainly, she has no visible scars. Her stature is small, her body in peak physical condition, and her clothes seem to hide surprisingly toned muscles.
Hygiene & Attire
When not in her captain's attire, R'atri favors clothes made from expensive materials - as much for comfort as for fashion. Though understated, it's clear this woman has expensive tastes and reflects that taste in what she wears. R'atri leaves a subtle scent of salt air and lilies in her wake, though this seems less a perfume and more a scent picked up naturally from her various activities.
Personality
Psychological Profile
R'atri commands respect. She carries herself like a woman used to power - a woman used to getting what she wants. She doesn't abide traitors and has no use for people who show her rudeness. If she has an obsession, it could be called control. R'atri must be the one in control at all times. She can't stand the idea of being somehow lesser than those around her.
Voice
When speaking normally, R'atri's voice is soft and stern. Somehow, even at a whisper, it demands attention. She rarely speaks with much emotion at all, instead preferring a monotone in spite of it often causing her to be misunderstood.
Philosophy & Mannerisms
R'atri prides herself on manners. She may beat a man to death but she will do so with dignity. She isn't above torture to get things she wants. Still, she rarely has need for such brutish measures. First and foremost, R'atri practices diplomacy. Why kill something that could be useful? She's just as likely to bring someone over to her cause as she is to kill them. And why is this? Simple: R'atri wants as many advantages over others that she can have.

History
.
Disclaimer: Please ask me if you plan on your character knowing some things about R'atri. A lot of her past isn't common knowledge.
Sixth Astral Era
Childhood
From birth, R'atri was fascinated by the sea. Nomadic though her tribe was, every chance she had to glimpse the sea was seared into her mind. However, it wasn't to last. Ripped from her tribe at age 11 along with her twin brother, R'avitra, R'atri was thrust into a completely different life. One that she doesn't talk about. How did she become a pirate captain? How did she get an entire ship of people to follow her? You'll have to ask her that.

Seventh Umbral Era
Adulthood
R'atri is the proud captain of the Nymeia's Lily - an infamous vessel known for sailing into dangerous waters to secure trading routes. Not that all these "trades" are above-board. Frankly, she's a privateer and a pirate - one that has earned her respect from the ground up. Known as a tough but fair woman, R'atri does not bear insubordination easily. She'll take care of her men - both in the traditional sense and the more ominous sense, should they cross her.

In Recent Times
Moving Forward
For now, R'atri takes up residence in both Shirogane and The Shroud (specifically, a dive bar called The Sanguine Shadow). When she isn't present in one place, she's usually found at the other. Her reason for taking up with The Sanguine Shadow is simple: she's bored. She needs something more in life and she's hoping this group will provide it to her. If not? Well, there's certainly other groups out there who are just as worthwhile.

Family
R'avitra Tia: R'atri's twin brother. Despite him being the older by a full minute, R'atri took it upon herself to protect him. However, she has clearly failed.
Acquaintances
"Andre"/"Leo": The owner of The Sanguine Shadow. R'atri has taken it upon herself to play advisor to him. She finds him too idealistic by half and often speaks her mind to him, whether it's appreciated or not.
Y'rhenasi Jadel/"Rhen": R'atri doesn't have an opinion on her one way or another. She just knows the other miqo'te exists. That's about the extent of it.
Ho'elun Mol/"Elun": R'atri has only encountered this Au Ra once. He seems fine enough, in her opinion.
Sani Benitoki/"Sani": R'atri entertained quite the long conversation with Sani. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Above all, though, she's polite.
Byrn Wolfshowl/"The Dog": A fairly large hyur. R'atri appreciates his zeal for life.

Rumors
NPC Rumors

Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated.

◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
"Pretty little thing, isn't she? Impeccable manners, too. I'd love to get her in my bed but she's always gone in a flash. That girl is like a storm." — Ishgardian Noble
"She's always hanging around that dive bar that serves wings. I never see her actually do much serving, though! Do you think she just likes the atmosphere?" — Limsan Sailor
◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
"Who, the miqo'te with the black hair? Rumor has it that "Lym" isn't her real name. She gives the name Llymlaen, too. Does she really fancy herself one of the Twelve? I wouldn't put it past her, as stuck-up as she is!" — Limsan Barmaid
"She doesn't set foot into Ul'dah or the desert. Always sends a runner when it comes to brokering trade deals. Weird, that." — Ul'dahn Merchant
◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
"Stay out of her path if you know what's good for you. She's a cold-blooded killer. Oh, sure, she might seem polite enough but if you offend her, you're going to end up with a knife in your gut." - Limsan Dock Worker
"Shut up! Don't you go catcalling that woman. You really don't know who she is? Idiot! That's R'atri Nitsah, pirate queen and captain of the Nymeia's Lily! Bow your head when she walks by or else she'll slit your throat in the middle of the night." — Doman Confederate

Kugane: Very high, especially around the docks.
Limsa Lominsa: Fairly high.
The Sanguine Shadow: Moderate.
Affiliations
Most of these aren’t public, and would have to be asked after!
The "Family": A crime organization run in the Lavender Beds. The Sanguine Shadow is their front.
Kugane's Guild of Thieves: R'atri heads the pirates' representation as a pirate "queen".
IC Inventory
The following items are things that this individual carries on their person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell.

Glio coinpurse.png

Coinpurse: An embroidered coin purse made of soft leather, containing a large sum of gil.
Linkpearls: Her left ear is dotted with quite the collection.
A key: It's just a simple key. But to what?
RP Limits
I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask.
I will play just about anything, provided there's a reason for it. Chase her down the street in an attempt to arrest her for all I care!
Ask about long term plans that could prevent me from roleplaying my character. I don't mind plotting!
I won't play my own character's death unless it's something I want to do.
RP Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content.
■ Does your character want to be a pirate or know about piracy? They may know of R'atri.
■ If your character is doing some not-so-above-board things in Kugane, they may cross paths with her.
■ Is your character a regular at The Sanguine Shadow? They may have seen her!
OOC Notes
Player Information
Player Note
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
Character Lore Adherence
Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below.
■ No changes.
Character Concept
R'atri's concept is that of a woman who has clawed her way up from the bottom through an iron will and an unstoppable desire never to be treated like nothing again. She's set up to be a pirate and a fairly ruthless one at that. Because of her stilted nature, she's terrible when it comes to actually interacting with other people.

Tropes & Explanations
A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe my character either in part, or as a whole. Their background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below.
Honor Among Thieves: R'atri isn't quick to sell out those who she allies herself with. She is surprisingly loyal when it comes to those she has pledged herself to.
Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Polite as she is, R'atri considers herself above most others. She doesn't get involved in petty squabbles and instead reserves her emotions for those who deserve to see them.
Sugar and Ice Personality: R'atri can be kind. Really, she can. It just takes time getting used to how she operates. Though she does show the world the image of a cold woman in control of everything, those close to her know differently.
