Kitta Rizal

The Thavnairian troupes

The Sharlayan Gleaners

The Kraken's Vice (Crew)

A short, stocky individual with brown skin and a bright smile. Their teeth are slightly sharp in certain spaces, and they have scales and fins of budding, frondlike crystal that sprout from their skin. Their hair is dark, and often tied, with bangs at the front-occasionally with side-bangs that are laced through jingling coins.

They're broadly built and well-muscled from years of exercise and sailing, and usually dress in a bright or cute style. Their eyes are dark, with layered limbals of deep blue and gold. They make their business by adventurers as a wardancer and a performer, travelling from adventuring routes to performance circuits in an ever-wandering goal for a brighter future.

They are outwardly friendly-a chipper face, though guarded of their internal emotions; An impulsive do-gooder with a habit of imbibing in their wants a bit too much, they're regarded as 'party enby' here and there-often the one who ends up with the jeep in the pool (oops).

They're always down to hang out and make new friends, and generally have the best at heart with a persistent empathy that sticks throughout their travel-sometimes to their own detriment, as they keep their own negative emotions very close to chest, and hard to dig up.

### Early Life

Jaslene was born to a smuggler-ship captain in the midst of a choppy storm-their mother, accomplished and rather stubborn, refusing to take a break from her work until the time at which they happened.

Raised partly in Lia's homeland, Tural, and partly upon their mother's ship, *The Kraken's Vice*, they spent much of their life bouncing from port to port, around sailors, smugglers, adventurers and gleaners in depending what their mother was hired for. Of many friends and a roaming disposition, the child would continue between ports indeterminably with no thought other than to be a sailor the same until a visit to Radz-at-Han, where they happened to catch sight of Nashmeira and her dancers on the stage.

They spent a good portion of their visits and travels to Thavnair begging her to teach them throughout their teenage years, until they had grown old enough that she could accept them striking out on their own away from their very wary mother, whom gifted them their own, smaller boat from her own, which they made their home.

They studied underneath her tutelage for years, travelling with her and her troupe when they grew enough in their craft, until time came for them to strike out on their own-experimenting with aether in their branching path to give their dancer's art a fiery twist, and aiding adventurers who travel into dire circumstance. Often this lead to them making many new friends to connect into their network, and reuniting with many old ones.

### Presently

Presently, they are aiding the Wayfarers with their plight; Bringing a bright enthusiasm and their skills in battle and charisma to bear against the challenges that confront the Circle-and, in the process, reuniting with their childhood friend Geimbarena Glazahrwys in the midst of investigations of Arthuroix's interference and meddling, and have become fast friends with Silvairre Rochefort-both of which have accompanied them upon their sailing home to Kugane, where their current investigations lie.
