Elsa Buckley

Elsa Buckley (Alias Elsa Sutherland)

Name: Elsa Buckley

Species: Half sable, half river otter

Gender: Female

Age: 39

Appearance: Elsa has always been a bit of an oddity. Tall and overly-stocky, her fur is black like her mother’s, but for the most part she looks similar to an ordinary sable except for some otter-like features: A more rudderlike tail, slightly webbed paws, (however Elsa cannot swim half as well as an otter.) and her muzzle is a little broad but the rest of her face is very much that of a sable's’, and her fur is very silky. Her eyes are a pale brown, and there are two parallel scars running down her left eye, which she is blind in due to these. (And thus cannot fence as well as she used to)

Personality: Elsa has been a creature of great ambition ever since childhood, and she is also extremely sly. If the situation is appropriate, she isn’t afraid to kill first without asking questions. She is ruthlessly sadistic towards her enemies, and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, and is happy to employ manipulation and psychological torture in her efforts. Elsa’s secret is that the cutlass is one of the few weapons she actually has skill with besides the flintlock (her aim with that is decent), but neglects to mention this to her crew for fear of looking like a coward. However, Elsa at least is proud of her crew and actually DOES have a sense of honor, however that she reserves only for her comrades and close friends.

Clothing: A white shirt, a plain, dark red vest, a heavy leather belt and cream-colored breeches.

Equipment: Cutlass and flintlock (though she vastly prefers her cutlass)

Position on the ship: Captain

Background: Elsa’s parental history is a somewhat unusual one. Her mother was an otter bounty hunter, and her father, a sable warlord (who died when Elsa was four). Most otter crossbreeds (the only other type of these creatures known are half ferret and half otter, if not half otter and sable) are born into a life of bastardy, but Elsa’s life was decent, however she and her mother were fairly impoverished. Wanting to support the family, in her teen years Elsa began disguising herself as a male to seek employment in various odd jobs, a scheme that worked well for several years. When she was twenty she began life on her own and got a brief job as a mercenary before deciding it was ultimately not the job for her and quit after two years.

When she was twenty-three Elsa began working jobs on various ships (Honest or otherwise), before finding the Carrion at twenty-eight and eventually becoming captain.
