Name: Carsyn Song-Riley
Age: 23
Gender/Pronouns: Female, she/her
Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Demi
Personality: She's very sweet and innocent, still kind to the Caelum even though they've been cruel to her. Her hate list is non-existent and grudges don't last forever, but she never forgets anything. Very shy around people but affectionate towards people she cares about, and she's also very observant when it comes to people and the environment around her. (the following are mannerisms but they kinda lend towards her personality). Small smiles, twirls hair a lot, doesn't really hold eye-contact much, soft footsteps. She'll typically wait for an opening to interact with you, making herself known with small noises and standing in your view. However, if she really wants your attention, she kinda does a sort of hand flutter where she'll frantically tap you with both hands with a featherlight touch that's more air than touch that resembles butterflies over your skin. Will pet a friend's hair and pat their head, cheek kisses, and clings to arms like a koala. Though a very sweet girl, violent and cruel actions don't phase her anymore, and chaos was ingrained into her thanks to her new family.
Motivations: Adventure and freedom, butterflies
Moral Alignment: Chaotic Good
Appearance: This. Wide, ice blue eyes verging on grey, short dirt brown hair with a slight wave to it, and a general sense of "I could try to style it but I don't want to." Thin and slim 5'9 frame, skinny, almost unhealthily so but not quite yet. Her tongue is severed. Small nose, delicate but calloused fingers from constant labor, modestly plush lips, humble curves. Lightly tanned skin. She's got a small scar in the corner of her mouth from where the knife hit her skin. There's a blood-red brand tattooed on the back of her neck.
Worst Fear: Being enslaved again.
The Role on the Ship: Lookout
Why They Joined and How Long They've Been There: Carsyn joined about two years ago because it was a way to see the world and break free from the memories that haunt her.
Brief Backstory: Carsyn was enslaved by a wealthy merchant and went about her duties carefully. She kept her head down and did everything she was told without complaint. However, one day she witnessed an illegal black-market exchange taking place between her owner and a colleague of his. Her owner saw her and later took her for punishment. As she was illiterate and couldn't even write down her alphabet (very little education), he simply took away her only means of communicating what she witnessed instead of killing her. She was useful, so he didn't want to lose that, and the punishment served as a warning for any other snooping "attempts," even if she hadn't meant to snoop. She didn't know ASL at the time—she does now—so she had no way of communicating beyond simple sounds and vague gestures. She managed to get free thanks to a certain family of sisters and was taught sign language, as well as how to play the violin and some reading/writing, though she's still not very good at that.
Other:
Clothing: Bell bottoms, but not the jean type. She prefers the soft and stretchy materials, and none of them have loud colors or any sort of pattern. Loose shirts are a favorite. Any long sleeves are always longer than her hands so she can do paws. Knitted sweaters and leggings are also a frequent favorite, as long as the sweaters hang low around her thighs. Simple and cute dresses are also well-liked in warmer weather.
Trivia: Thunder scares her, and by extension of that, loud noises that resemble the boom of thunder scare her. She'll typically hide, if she can, when there are storms during the day. During the night, she'll try to hum to herself while hiding under blankets, but if she knows someone well, she'll go to them for comfort. All sweets are loved, so any dessert is appreciated and promptly devoured like a lady. Likes naps and pillows, and butterflies are very much adored. She has a dagger with a butterfly imprinted in the handle, a gift from her family. She doesn't like needles and tattoos thanks to the brand, and her dislike of needles prevents her from getting any piercings.
