Maera Caenis Aria

Maera, or more commonly known as May, is a half human half mermaid girl who travels about Arvinia as a pirate girl seeking to be the next pirate king (and whatever else that's interesting along the way). She is actually the bastard child of a one night fling between the mermaid Dianna and the current King of Renlovi, but this is a fact that only her mother seems to know.

Background
Being a halfling, Maera was never considered a proper mermaid by her kind even if she was born unchangably fish finned first. Stuck living in an environment of constant scorn towards her and her mother Dianna by others of her kind throughout her very early years since birth, it was only at the age of 7 that she finally had the opportunity to leave the sea, as her genes tipped to the other extreme, turning her completely human.

Her mother, having had fond memories in the past of Vorsha in the despite the life drama that followed, migrated with her daughter to the capital, making a living off her dream-like dancing in the streets. It was in these years Maera learned to dance herself, and became incredibly nimble with her human limbs. Growing a cheeky rebellious streak that soon drew her to her first ever break in of the Vorshan castle, it was at this point that she came to meet the then Prince Kessalendros Mumyou. Enamored rather instantly by his physique, visitations to the Vorshan castle soon became a daily occurrence filled with harmless pranks and instense stalking. Before long the young Maera knew very well that she was in love.

At the age of 13 there came a turning point however, and Maera became interested in a mysterious pirate Zendro who had come to trouble the Vorshan seas. After the same formula of break-ins + stalkings, she soon became obsessed with his way of life and the fiction book of a certain Maindros Guillaume, tucked away in his cabin. Without much of a second thought, nor any real explanation of why, she dropped her life entirely and chose to follow him.

As she reached the end of her teenage years, and her apprenticeship on the Silver Wind grew ever more serious, Maera ran away once again- just as spontaneously, without reason. Gathering together her crew for the Obsidian Moon, she ran by the fictional name Maiandros, dressed and acting as a man while she terrorized the seas in her own right, hunting the title of Pirate King.
