Lien takes her work aboard the ships she works for very seriously, and knows the waters can be dangerous to those not prepared and isn't afraid to speak up when someone is doing something wrong or stupid. She has worked incredibly hard to learn her craft, and believes in keeping the oceans free and clean. Though many know her as quite the hardy sailor, she's also a very capable drinker and enjoys a good party from time to time. She has a wild streak in her that is untamed and carnal, choosing to never stayed tied down but rather prefers to have a lover in every port to keep her warm when the boat is docked, but is almost always the first right back on the boat and ready to leave before the sun has even touched the sky. She prefers the nomad life, but always does her best to take care of her captain and fellow crew.
History:
Once upon a time, not so long ago... Lien had wonderful parents. Unlike most Fairies, her lineage is tied to the sea which can noted by their wings that look very similar to the sails of a ship. She can remember the sea side cottage where she and her mother would wait for her father to return from his work with Atelus Navy defending the high seas. But then when Lien was about 22 to humans, but still barely a child in Fairy, her mother started to become ill. It was an unusual sickness, and came on very fast. Before Lien could even think to head to town for medication.... her mother passed away.
Stricken by grief her father threw himself into work and teaching Lien the trade as well as how to hide her wings and use makeup to blend in better with normal folk. This confused Lien, who never realized how rare they were until her father started to take her into Taras when she was in her late 40's, or early teens in Fairy, so she could earn her keep as well. Though she could see most seemed revere the fairies, she would also learn there was hate as well.
As her father was coming down the peer to meet Lien at the market where she worked, he got into an altercation over a shop owner pouring refuse directly into the ocean waters. Lien approached just in time for the argument to become combative, and the shop owner swung at her father and suddenly it was shop keeps versus sailors. The brawl became huge, and somehow in the fight someone managed to slice open a vein on her father's wing. In a matter of moments... he bled out and was gone.
It was a blow to the young fairy's heart. At the age of 52 she was completely on her own. As a fairy she wasn't even fully an adult yet... but she had to rely on herself. So she hopped aboard the first ship that offered her freedom... and has never looked back.
