Seasick Lunae Marina

Seasick Lunae Marina is a 9 year-old SeaWing pirate. Xe is the shantyman among the crew of The Voyager and is the most famous among xyr crew, often serving up musical performances wherever they travel. Xe is thoroughly dedicated to learning all of the world's songs and dances, and singing for all the many Tribes across the world.
== Description ==
"Audite canticum maris..."
Seasick's scales are a dark green color that fades to a lighter, more pale green on the lower half of xyr body, with pale green bioluminescent scales that emit a similarly-colored light, though it's a more white-green color. Xe is lean and thin, but not skinny, with a semi-muscular frame and angular curves. Xe has soft, pale blue-green eyes with an innocent gleam to them. Seasick was described as "squishy" by Capitano, and seems to have a rather soft shape and body, appearing young and friendly. Xe is very handsome, and often has many dragons fawning over xem while xe performs.
Seasick's talons are webbed, and are often covered in salt, small cuts, and callouses, a result of xyr work in the oceans and the constant strumming of xyr various instruments. These aren't often very noticeable until a dragon gets up close, but they cause a great deal of discomfort for Seasick.
Seasick's voice is airy and light, giving off vibes of excitement and energy, making xem easy to talk to. When singing, Seasick has a powerful and enjoyable melody, cascading a sweet sound over the audience.
=== Accessories ===
Seasick wears a wheel-shaped earring in xyr left ear, and a shark-shaped earring in xyr right ear, both made of copper. Xe also has a wave pattern tattoo on the lower portion of their wing, close to their ribs. On the inside of xyr wings, xe has lines of pale green scales that appear like ripples on the water. Xe also has a black pirate hat, similar to that of xyr sister, Cape's, with a skull and crossbones plastered on the front in white.
== Personality ==
"Mitis memoria...""
Seasick is a fun-loving and easily excited dragon that is constantly bearing a gentle smile and a determined, excited look in xyr eyes. Xe constantly feels the call of the ocean, wishing to spend xyr entire life on or in the sea, taking in the salty air and letting the sea water filter through xyr gills effortlessly. Xyr lifestyle as a pirate is a large part of their personality and lifestyle, and contributes to their lingo, behavior and ideologies, such as that the kraken is real, or that sea monsters really do exist. Xe is largely unbothered by the existence of sea monsters, though, as xe fears nearly nothing.
The crew of the Voyager has drastically changed Seasick's life, from introducing xem to music and helping xem find a passion, to taking xem in as one of their own, the crew has drastically improved Seasick's life for the better. As their shantyman, Seasick leads the crew in loudly singing sea shanties while they're on the water, taking up the otherwise idle time between shipments of stolen goods.
As a pirate belonging to the Voyager, Seasick thoroughly believes in stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, which is why xe, and the entire crew of the Voyager, are closely allied with the Interoceanic Trade Organization (ITO) to help deliver stolen goods to islands and tribes that need it, such as the Pantalans in the LeafSilk kingdom, or the SandWings in the desert (this mostly ends up being shipments of purified spring water from the SkyWing mountains, though). When delivering such cargo, Seasick will often sing and dance for the tribes the crew is delivering to as they travel across their land, entertaining them while their cargo is delivered, something xe has a great talent and passion for. Because of this, Seasick is known far and wide as the SeaWing idol, and is often racking up free repairs, food, water, or other supplies for xyr crew simply as a result of xyr popularity, something that deeply flatters, and almost embarrasses, xem.
Seasick adores dragonets, and will play and sing with any that join xem while performing, letting the dragonets ride on xyr head, wings, back, etc. or cling to xem like a jungle gym. Xe does, however, always make sure the children are safe, and never does anything extravagant until the dragonets are off of xyr body completely. It is through xyr great care for and enjoyment of dragonets that Seasick often gets very positive compliments from parents, as xe has never once injured a dragonet while performing.
Seasick's name is ironic, given to xem by xyr birth parents as xe was an inconvenience, just like seasickness. Because of the mistreatment from xyr parents, Seasick ran away from xyr parents and eventually stumbled upon Nautical and Marine, two SeaWings looking for a dragonet to raise. Seasick was considered a blessing by the two, and xe was adopted by the two, giving Seasick two fathers xe could trust, and giving the two SeaWings a child they could take care of as their own. After adopting Cape, the four became the perfect family, with Cape and Seasick moving on to join the same crew among the Voyager.
When it comes to plundering other pirates for "booty," Seasick takes a particular liking in the thrill of battle, often rushing in fearlessly and without care, as xe doesn't fear death in any capacity of the world, thoroughly embracing the idea that death will come to xem when it is xyr time, and no earlier. This has proven largely true so far, as xe has survived some of the most brutal injuries known to dragons, and has taken on entire ships alone with just a stick in talon. It's actually impressive, to many of the crew, how xe hasn't died yet. Xe finds it fascinating that others don't share this world view, and shrugs it off with a "oh well, their loss" expression on xyr face. Being overly cautious and afraid of death is something xe finds quite foolish.
== Biography ==
"Multo minus dulcis vita esset...""
As a young dragonet, Seasick was abused horrendously by xyr parents, often taking the brunt of their anger at themselves, the world, or even xem. Beatings, scrapes, cuts, verbal abuse and even neglect were common, and Seasick grew to believe it was normal. After a while, xe had enough and decided to run away at the ripe age of three, fleeing into the ocean and swimming for eight days straight in search of other dragons, before finally stumbling upon Nautical and Marine on the verge of bloody collapse.
Nautical and Marine happily took the dragonet in, tending to xyr wounds and raising xem as their own child, teaching xem that abuse wasn't normal, or okay, and that it was "okay to be who you are, because nobody will hurt you for it anymore," which eased Seasick's mind at the time. Still plagued with trauma, though, Seasick took a while to grow accustomed to the two adult male SeaWings, and would often flinch away when they reached out as an instinct.

== Relationships ==
"Si non conveniunt..."
=== Nautical | Positive ===
Seasick's adoptive father, Nautical, is the favorite (by a little bit) of the two, as his interests align more with Seasick's entirely. They would often spend afternoons rearranging their home, shopping, painting their claws, gossiping, or doing other activities they both enjoyed while Cape and Marine did their own thing (often reading in silence). It was also Nautical who discovered Seasick, and took xem in, helping the two develop a stronger bond than xyr's and Marine's. Still, though, xe loves xyr two fathers almost equally (Nautical is ahead by ~0.83 dad points).
=== Marine | Positive ===
Seasick looks up to Marine as a role model, often taking on his brave and outgoing traits, alongside the fun-loving and energetic sides of his other father, Nautical. Since Marine's gills, wings and webs are damaged, meaning he can no longer swim, it was Marine that introduced Seasick to sailing, taking xem out on a quick boat ride one afternoon while Seasick was still young, nurturing and creating the love of sailing that Seasick now exudes today as a pirate. Additionally, since their interests do not match, the two often share hours sailing as their primary method of bonding, fishing and collecting fun shells. Seasick turns these shells into jewelry for Marine and Nautical, something that flatters the two.
=== Cape | Positive ===
Cape and Seasick have a very positive relationship as siblings, with the adoptive LeafWing living on the Voyager with Seasick. Despite this, she takes more heavily from her other father, Marine, with her interests surrounding peaceful evenings, sipping tea and reading books. Seasick singing during her quiet reading time is unappreciated, but xe grows tired and bored when it's too quiet. Despite this, they still love each other very much, and will buy each other little trinkets when traveling. Cape's musical talent goes very well with Seasick's singing, and the two perform together often, growing fame as a result.
=== Soultide Cassiopeia-Rose Duskcaller | Positive ===
They're fruity and like music, of course they get along. They met spontaneously on the street one day, and Seasick freaked out because Tide looks like a galaxy. Xe now pays incessant visits to the little hybrid, often listening to music, singing (sometimes purposefully off-key to annoy others), eating candy, and yelling at seagulls. The first thing Seasick said to Tide after learning his name was: "Wait... your name is Tide? Like the ocean tide? I LOVE THE OCEAN!"

"Et si audire desinam illud carmen..."
* "I do not fear death. We follow a predestined path, decided by nature and the ocean herself. We cannot stray from this path, as it expands forever in all directions. Rather, we continue walking our path, eventually reaching the day of our death. But I am not looking at that day as I walk. No, rather, I am looking at all of the sweet memories I make along the way. The day I die is coming, so why dread it? It will come eventually."
