"Oh Siren Serene, this cou' be goin' a wee bit better, ey?"
Nell is a young sailor from the Mist Isles. Though once they went on her first adventure to prove themself and returned, the call of the sea and distant lands has washed her back out. Life is but a series of adventures now, with or without the ship they once captained. On long expeditions, they usually only sign a contract one way as a common ship-hopper. All they seem to seek is adventure.
Their given name is Nella, or more fully- Nella of Gordarda, for the small island where she was raised. They shortened it to Nell to fit in with other sailors. He prefers Nell, though still loves the name their mother picked out for them.

Appearance: Nell is a boyish sort with long red hair which they usually keeps back in a ponytail. Her nose is stunted and their skin is often blemished and sunkissed from rough sailing. They can be found in whatever sailing attire she can get its hands on, always something simple and breathable. They could easily be mistaken for a young man. They stand at about 5'5". Spry and hardy, they have some slight muscles and enough of a belly to keep themselves warm at sea.
Age: 23 Years
Birthday: 2nd of Greenrain
Zodiac: Lantern
Pronouns: Any. References being a girl, but prefers to be thought of as a sailor first.
Profession: Carpenter / Sailor / Smuggler
Ancestry: Human, Mistan.
Goals: Command a new ship, or recover the Morkanth, to earn the title 'Captain' back; Seek adventure and plunder on these foreign shores to honor her homeland; Gain the favor of the Siren Serene.
Beliefs: Nell has lived a life steeped in sailors superstition, and has picked out what they believe to be the truth from the fiction. She often performs various lay rituals to honor and appease the Siren Serene, among other superstitious beliefs. While tradition is important, she tempers it with individual belief and intention. She also believes she, along with most Mistans, have a stronger connection to the sea for their siren heritage.
Home: Nell comes from a small and unremarkable island among the Mists, called Gordarda. It was notable for having two villages on the north and south sides of the island, separated by the forest and stout mountains in the center of the island which require caution to traverse. The idyllic island saw few take on adventures and leave, for in its gentle waters the Siren Serene provided all they could want.
