Teuta

Teuta (ING: SootyBirdy), is an undead half-human half-skeleton being. She was revived after she and her pirate crew died in a storm and she now lives in Sah'Rora. She has forgotten everything from when she was alive but her personality and core aspects have stayed the same.
== History ==
=== 420 BB ===
☐☐☐☐ was born in a royal family near the coastal lines. From a young age she has always wanted to explore the world, instead she had to read books upon books of lands to which she will never be allowed to go to. She always looked out her window and has seen the busy port, filled with many ships and merchant stalls. At the age of 8, ☐☐☐☐ decided to learn as much as she could about the outside world, all its places, all its animals, as much as she could. At 14, she overheard her parents talk about her being married off soon, she was disgusted. She quietly packed up a few of her things and escaped that midnight. 
She ran on foot to the port and made it there at sunrise. The markets began bustling with life and crews left their ships. As ☐☐☐☐ traveled near the docks she saw a group of what looked like pirates hiding in an alley. Her curiosity got the better of her and she began talking to them, they responded and she expressed her desire to see and travel the world. The pirates laughed and proposed a challenge, she must steal 5 gold coins and bring them back without being caught. She immediately accepted the challenge and turned heel. 
Teuta dipped her hands into mud, rubbed it on her face and clothes and sat down in the street. She placed down a napkin and began crying. All who passed pitied the what looked like a homeless poor girl and tossed her coins. A few rich folk tossed her a few gold ones, once she had 5 she picked up the coins and napkin before returning to the group of pirates. She smiled and wiped her face with the napkin. In her palm she held 5 shiny coins. The pirates stopped laughing and looked at ☐☐☐☐ shocked. 
☐☐☐☐ once again expressed how she wanted to travel, the crew pondered, they were needing a few more crew members. With that, ☐☐☐☐ set off on an almost 2 decade journey. Raiding ships, losing crew members and gaining new ones, robbing the rich and burning their homes all before returning back to their hammocks in their cabins to await what's next after daybreak.
They were luckier than most, being able to avoid mercenaries from their failed raiding attempts, survive through rough storms and illnesses. However they wouldn't be as lucky this day, as the storm worse than they had ever seen before howled around them. The dark waters roaring, as ☐☐☐☐ grabbed a hold of the sail, her eyes widened, a wave, larger than anything she has ever seen rose. She felt herself become calm as it crashed down on the ship, snapping the wood and breaking it into pieces. She could only watch until the water consumed her.
☐☐☐☐ felt stinging pain in her neck and stomach, snapped planks lodged in her body painting the ocean red. As she watched the gold coins around her begin to glow as she cried out with her last breath. "I WANT TO LIVE!" rang in the water, a phoenix amulet shined brighter. The warm embrace of magic surrounded ☐☐☐☐ as she looked up at the surface before it all faded away.
== Modern Day ==
Teuta sat in a wildflower field, before she felt as if she was in a dream. Then suddenly she landed on her feet, she looked down to see sand and around to see rotting wood. Before she could even begin forming thoughts someone began yelling at her. The man was seemed younger than her but was taller. He was pointing at her and yelling in a language she couldn't understand. Teuta looked own at herself to find that some of her body didn't have any flesh and was just a skeleton instead.
Soon the man realized Teuta was just as confused as he was. The man’s name was Armino, and he taught her the Najer language. She felt devoted to Armino who took her in and gave her things. Reciprocating in hard work by expanding the once tiny and disorganized farm, into a field with well planted grain and vegetables. Teuta often was seen either at her farm or chopping trees, working hard for herself and those living in Sah'Rora. She later picked up weaving and creating banners, creating a stronger bond with other nations who requested banners from her. Trading dyes and quality wool was her forte. 
Teuta enjoyed the company of animals, often seen relaxing with the sheep and even napping together. She loved the sheep so much she refused to eat any mutton and either eat other animals or her crops. She handled sheering them and keeping them well fed. She is often seen running with the sheers and often accidentally stabbing herself. 
Teuta mostly worked behind the scenes, often in recourse collection and only participating in politics when escorting Armino. She felt more secure staying in the comforts of Sah'Rora and keeping her nose out of politics. She felt a strong bond towards those living in Sah'Rora, they were her crew, her family. She's been on many outings with them, getting awfully drunk with Armino and having to be carried home. Getting hooked on alcohol and being the one to test out the brews. 
== The End? ==
Teuta and the rest of the Sah'Rorans built up the remaining of the plans that Armino had designed. Soon she felt a familiar feeling from when she was in the flower field, sudden bliss and warmth like no other enveloped her. Her vision doubled, as if she was seeing two realms at the same time, she watched a young girl run past her. She had long black hair, a beautiful dress and a bright laugh that echoed in Teuta's head. The little girl's face was smudged in reality, but she was happy, unknowing of the world and its troubles. Teuta wanted to reach out to the girl but a voice she heard long ago reached for her:"Do you want to stay here? That sand man's realm is ripping apart, and you seem happy in distant memories." - The Phoenix Asked
"Armino's realm is ripping apart? Where is he going?" -Teuta asked quickly
"I can save him, I'll move him to another realm and-" - The Phoenix began
"Take me with him! As long as I have at least someone from my crew I'll be happy!" - Teuta replied hastily
"I'll move you and him, but you'll be indebted to me" - The Phoenix shined brighterTeuta suddenly sobered up, feeling as if she got terribly drunk. The phoenix felt like a fragment of her imagination. She looked around, it was the party that Armino held, just a regular celebration. But she knew what was to happen, paying extra attention to everyone she knew and as the last threads ripped, she looked up at the sky and thanked the phoenix. When the thread snapped everything still continued, everyone was still partying, music played, people sang, cups tipped up. 
Teuta looked around and saw a small girl run through the crowd, Teuta instinctively ran after the girl, running through the alleys and streets. Then suddenly she found the girl sitting on the beach, her pretty hair still in a clean braid and beautiful pins. Teuta walked to the girl and sat beside her, the girl leaned onto Teuta and looked up at her. It was Teuta, or rather ☐☐☐☐, her beautiful brown and green eyes. Before Teuta can fully prosses it the girl took Teuta's hand and handed her 5 gold coins. 
== Traits ==
==== Overall Abilities ====
Teuta is fairly fit, and being in her late twenties her body is at it's prime. She effectively collects recourses and does hard labour. She can build decently, able to build a windmill beside her large farm. Her weaving skills are improving daily the more banners she makes.
==== Combat Abilities ====
Teuta often likes to avoid combat, but when needed she preforms alright. Having a big preference for an axe instead of a sword. Her tall and bulky stature is often enough to intimidate.
==== Phoenix Blessings ====
Teuta has been revived and brought to Rathnir by a Phoenix. Though the Phoenix was young resulting in Teuta not quite being alive, she possesses conditional immortality. She cannot be killed by starvation, thirst or other bodily harm.
==== Personality ====
Teuta is pretty laid back, indifferent to strangers and believes respect is earned. She does her best not to cause conflict, often talking things out and keeps her fuse long. Her temper is only short when Armino is disrespected or when it comes to her home and farm. She is proud of her works so any disrespect towards her creations earns them her short fuse.
