Outward Appearance

Nacrissa 'Crissa' Thornwood is a relatively independent woman, despite sometimes often 'childish' behaviour. Her hair is an array of deep hazel layers that have been cut short and are ruffled to her liking, the layers reach down to her shoulders. Her eyes are a dark, toned colour, which seem to illuminate with curiosity, hues of gold, brown and even hints of burgundy. With a smile that can be described as rather dazzling, forming dimples in her cheeks.

 

Crissa's clothes consist of red, burgundy and umber coloured leathers and fabrics that have certainly seen some better days. A thick belt is wrapped around her waist, beholding many assorted items from pouches to keys with chains. The belt encases a burgundy coloured shirt, that has certainly been shaped to accentuate her hourglass curves and drops low to show off her bare, tanned shoulders. 

Background

Nacrissa, or Crissa was the youngest of three siblings. She was born on a cold Winter's Eve in the comfort of her father's farm. From a small child, Crissa had been nurtured and humiliated by her older brothers, sitting always in their shadow. She had always been a very curious yet peculiar child; wanting to know how things worked, their purposes and why they were necessary. She'd even expressed a keen interest in archery, which her father - in particular - had noticed. So, with the little money he earned, decided to invest in the yew wood to craft a small bow and set of headless arrows for Crissa and over time, she gradually honed a skill for archery, progressing on to real arrows and a larger, much more durable bow.

Nacrissa spent the majority of her teenage years alone, reading or practicing. She was certainly a shy teenager, her childhood being mostly spent in the fields with a herd of cows had certainly not increased her confidence. This didn't bother Crissa at all, she was perfectly comfortable with the way her life was, though even she couldn't stop a small niggling feeling at the back of her mind which made her question the current situation of her life. It wasn't until her later teenage years that she realized she had spent most of her wasted time, reading pointless books, not really living at all. Though Crissa did not really understanding what living was, she was lost, curious and certainly determined to try something extraordinary.

Around the age of about twenty to twenty-one years of age, Nacrissa became more reckless and not caring as much as she should have. This new free-spirited attitude had both benefited and troubled her. Being trained in the art of dual-sword fighting and archery, it was clear that Nacrissa was able to defend herself without much help. She had a keen eye for spotting things out of the ordinary and more specifically - things of value. Nacrissa began to 'borrow things without asking' and this led to things being 'borrowed' on a much bigger scale. Starting off, of course, with rings and necklaces, spare change and half-empty perfumes. However, she became too ambitious and started to 'borrow' things of more value such as horses and her pride and joy, the sea-worthy vessel - The Belladonna.

Nacrissa would not necessarily call herself a 'pirate' per say, however, she is also known for the most enormous lies here and there. Her ship has been known to ship cargo, which she tries to explain is "legal and not shifty whatsoever!" and the boat has been in used in one too many raids of other ships.

Friends
Her crew didn't count, considering she had slept with most of them. And she never slept with 'friends'.
Relatives
Mother: Eryn, Father: Byrton. Brother: Threland Brother: Govin
Rivals/Enemies
She has a list that she'll whip out when the time calls for it.
Loves
Firen, Flynagin. She never could quite decide. Her horse Killian, coin, well-built torsos, impressively sized ships.
Hates
The cold, spiders, disrespect to women, her Aunt.
Motivation
Like most - coin.
Quotes
"Captain Nacrissa Thornwood, yet the title rings a bit hollow without a ship nearby." "I don't have time for hate, I will just dislike them all equally." "I'm off to throw apples at my aunt's house for a few hours." "Come now, kitten."
