Clena

Clena was an experienced sailor — presumably from Malaz Island. She most likely wore canvas trousers that had been tarred, and she was "sun-blackened" and barefooted.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 10, US TPB p.191
==In Deadhouse Landing==
Some renegade Napans, self-exiled in Malaz City in the very early days of the formation of the Malazan Empire, had decided to join a major sea raid on Cawn — along with the Malazan fleet of the 'pirate king' of Malaz Island, Admiral Mock. Needing crew badly, the Napans had "put out the word" for new recruits to crew their vessel, the Twisted.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 9, US TPB p.173
Clena was one of the "five men and three women" who answered this call and who reported to Cartheron Crust — a captain of the newly relaunched Twisted — for vetting. Clena was "with" Torbal, another new recruit. Clena was described as being his "female version".Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 10, US TPB p.190-191
Having accepted Clena as a new crew member of the Twisted, Cartheron told her that he would "write up the papers" that night. In the meanwhile, Crust had Choss — one of the Napans — set her and the others to work on the ship.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 10, US TPB p.193
Two weeks later, the still poorly repaired and outfitted Twisted — with its new recruits and a contingent of the renegade Napans — had set sail to join the raid upon Cawn. The ship having come within sight of Cawn, the Twisted soon found itself being chased by an enemy ship. The maneuvering necessitated caused the jibs to collapse upon the deck — breaking the arm of Clena — which greatly concerned Torbal. With his main attention on where Clena was being seen to, Torbal came to Cartheron with a "wooden cat-block" — which was apparently the cause of the collapse — being "old and worn". Crust apologized to Torbal for the injury to Clena and told Torbal to get Clena below deck — out of way of further harm.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 11, US TPB p.214-216/220-222
