Profile
Nadiya is not afraid to take charge in a situation, and is used to being the one keeping the pack moving forward. This can lead to her being a bit bossy, but she wants to make sure everyone she is in charge of is safe and well cared for. A determined and headstrong individual, one of her mottos is to keep moving forward. She can easily pick herself up.
She is bold, brave, and will spitefully laugh in the face of danger. However, her ambitious nature can often lead to recklessness, in most cases getting her into trouble. She is very proud of where she came from and feels no shame in admitting some of the worst things she's done in her profession. She'll carry her pride to her death.
Things need to be run snappy and well on a ship. Nadiya has no tolerance for slackers, and needs things to be done quickly and right. If that means doing it herself, so be it. Nadiya has a very bold personality that is easy to clash with. She’s not afraid to pick a fight, and prefers actions over words.

- Navigation: Knowing her way around is an important skill in Nadiya’s line of work. Not only did she train under a cartographer during her early years, but she also has a naturally good sense of direction.
- Charlatan: Nadiya knows how to put on a poker face, and has had a lot of practice. Not only in gambling, but also knowing when to amp up the charm to get out of a sticky situation, make an ally, or cut a sly deal.
- Lucky: Nadiya has been blessed with an extraordinary amount of luck, and often finds herself in the right place at the right time, or being able to make her way out of a difficult situation with ease.

- Vices: Her addictions can, and often do, get the better of her. Liquor, a pretty face, and a fun time can be dangerous things, but they’re very enticing.
- Running into Trouble: Though luck is on her side, Nadiya’s troubles never seem to end- the downside to her good fortune is the obstacles that put themselves in her way. She attracts danger and misfortune to those around her.
- Ambition: Nadiya’s thirst for wealth, power, and glory often results in her own demise. Wanting a better future for herself clouds her better judgement.

"Once upon a lifetime ago, a little slave girl decided she wanted a better life for herself. So, she took fate into her own hands and murdered her own monsters."
Not much is known about Nadiya's past life, or her relative history in Amaiera. Only recently stepping out of the shadows as a rather gifted businesswoman, most about her remains a secret, except to those in her immediate inner circle. Nadiya Alasahm is a ghost. However, since making a public appearance, her businesses have blossomed, and she has started to set up a presence within Canborough.
Enjoying making friends just as much as making enemies, Nadiya has done her best to make a good impression on those she meets. She is a generous benefactor to local shops and businesses, frequenting small stores to keep them going and donating much to charities. To most, she is a wealthy businesswoman wanting to make a difference in a city that has been so stagnated until the arrival of new and strange people. The coming of these fairytales has intrigued her, and she is looking to welcome many with open and eager arms.
Scimitar. The first weapon she's trained in. It never leaves her side, and has luckily survived more than a few cases in which she's needed it. It is her go-to. [6-7]
Whip. Easily Accessible. Useful to grab onto objects as well as dealing damage. One of Nadiya's favorite displays of intimidation and strength. She who holds the whip wears the crown. [4]

Stuffing
Matthias. My business partner. We enjoy a similar line of work, and have similar goals in mind for where we want our companies to flourish. Possibly the only one I can actually trust.
student
Isadora
Learning the ropes of aircraft and navigation under my tutelage. She's intelligent and amusing, and turns a blind eye to the work I do. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Hearts
King. He certainly is a handful to deal with at times, but can also occasionally be sweet. We've shared a few close moments.
A child
Jingles
Twiddles. King's companion, that's as far as I know about their relationship. While they can be- a bit spastic at times- I find them endearing.
