Danaylia "The Eel"

## Danaylia

This Maormer woman with pleasant low voice and noticeable accent is a recent addition to Seasmoke crew, but isn't an unexperienced sailor. Rather cheerful and easy to approach, Danaylia often can be seen around the ship's main deck or in the crow's nest, always accompanied by a small nixad with bright orange wings called "Brie".

## Biography

Danaylia been born on Pyandonea some 40-50 years ago or around such, but she clearly lost her counting.

As soon as she turned fourteen, young Maormer been sent to work as Deckhand, and since then she never left sea and ships for long. Slowly but steadily, gaining experience and respect in one crew, then in another, Danaylia grew in rank, ending up as First Mate and later as a Captain even. All in all she became an experienced sailor, raider and fighter. She spent time to develop her dual-wielding skills and natural magic abilities, concentrating mostly on attacking spells, which turned Danaylia into some sort of Maormer battle mage. Using mostly attacking spells and keeping Lightning as her favorite she got herself a suitable pseudonym - "The Eel".

After some time Danaylia though started to think that raiding on Summerset coast and Altmer ships only is boring, and her adventurous spirit in the end overpowered usual Maormer's hatred towards High Elves. Dana left the Sea Vipers under unknown circumstances and turned into free pirate, settling on Innsmouth not so long ago and getting a small cabin there. Joining different crews on different ships for work she recently ended up on Seasmoke.

## Appearance

Having a usual for her race look, Danaylia doesn't stand out among other Maormer. Tall and lean, she has extremely pale skin looking clean of scars on hands and face, at least. Her slightly angular face is framed by graphite-gray hair and pearl-white eyes are always brightly and neatly outlined by dark eyeliner and red eyeshadows. She wears cut up to shoulders hair loose, often brushing them off face.

Face and ears are decorated with several golden piercings:

* Two rings on the nose bridge
* Septum ring with gems
* Small round labret under lip
* Small round piercing or ring in right nostrill
* Several earrings in both ears, of various kind
* Anti-eyebrow piercing under her left eye
* Ring in right eyebrow

If Dana wears some clothes with short sleeves it can be seen that her body is decorated with a tattoo: a snake-scales pattern of pale blue-gray colour runs over her arms from wrist to shoulder, and down over sides of torso to ankles.

As for clothes - Danaylia prefers dim dusty colours, such as grey, pale blue, dusty-red and others, giving preference to mix of armour made from strong tanned leather and fine steel. A pair of decorated with serpents on cross-guard curved swords are hanging down on both sides of her belt.

Often can be seen with looking like Dwemer monocle, and she never leaves this one and Dwemer spyglass, as well as she is always accompanied by little Nixad companion named Brie.
