## About Lori

Lori Kaplan is a young woman surviving in a post-apocalyptic society. Her parents Andre and Tosha Kaplan moved to Homeport in 2106, where they started a family and helped construct the Lodge. Lori learned how to sail from Nina, her godmother. Lori and her friend Chand got in a lot of trouble together; they used to go to underground ruins with Krissa, another girl originally from Homeport. Because of several raids on the coast, her parents didn’t feel like Homeport was a safe place to raise a family anymore. They moved to Juneau and opened a workshop called "Kaplan Woodworks". Lori wasn't happy there and decided to come back to Homeport on her own and against her parents‘ wishes.

Three years have passed since then and at the beginning of the story, Lori and Chand work as couriers and sail on *Gitana* between different ports to distribute food and other goods. After the important supply ship *Aquila* crashes during a storm, Lori decides to step up and move the supplies all the way up the line to Anchorage. To accomplish that, her godmother Nina gifts her *Halcyon* for her birthday, a big and capable boat that brought Homeport’s founders to the bay decades ago. Together with her friends, Lori embarks upon a dangerous journey.

## Trivia

* Her middle name is Astrapia.
* The scar on Lori's neck is not from a tragic incident. Lori tells Connor that she got it while goofing around with Sean in the kitchen - she slipped and grabbed a pot of aspic on her way down. Unfortunately, Dr. Alvarez was out of gel to treat burns at the time and her wound couldn't be treated properly. Ever since then, Lori has cared more about the supplies coming in than most.
* The author revealed that she's a Gemini sun, Libra moon and Cancer rising.
* Prior to the story, Lori has not had a serious relationship before.
