[After years at the hands of her husband—the Kabuki Genie, Basan—the talented dancer Akane finally manages to escape.

By fleeing her world, she learns to shed the weight of her trauma, rediscovering the beauty in small things alongside a new traveling companion, Ena the Sailor (@wlery's oc).

Akane will finally find her own voice, venturing beyond the sea she could only dream of for so long—but will she be able to face the ghosts of her past?]

1 - She's generally referred to as "Sailor", otherwise, if she'd ever need to have a human name, it would be Enrica (a.k.a her name in the non-Ena version of this story)

2 - Voice claims:

ORANGE SIDE curious/adventurous John Chancer (snufkin: moominvalley)

BLACK SIDE mute/observer Laura Bailey (Kaine: NieR Replicant)

3 - (very) brief lore of the character

If you happen to roam alone in the nearby seas of the vertex, you might make an unfortunate encounter with ENA, the wanted Sailor and ex criminal on the run. An entity that doesn't abide by laws or flags, if not their own. She's an impulsive, decisive type, craving freedom more than anything else in the world

Fighting with her weapon (sword on one hand, stick in the other) and as quiet and unpredictable as the wind, she's not particularly loyal to anyone, and has a hard time fully trusting others, but recent word of mouth has it that she's tied an alliance with other outlaws that travel the sea

-

In the story, she feels constantly watched and followed by the presence of Magda, Genie/diety of the vertex lands, who gets fascinated by the Ena. Feeling her freedom threatened, Sailor wants to find a way to get rid of the genie's attentions: Legend has it that to meet Magda you need to find her door, situated in an undefined place in the middle of the sea, but being face to face with a higher entity is not an easy task, let alone openly challenging one.

The lord of the darker seas, lands only few of the most daring entities have reached. A place where mere curiosity isn't worth it and where legends and myths lurk in the shadows

The captain, the legend, a powerful virus and entity, unpredictable and constantly present, watching from the mist, one with the sea and code. The way he obtained such power is still a mystery for many

<< Won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a Sailor? And when you get a taste can you tell me what's my flavour? I don't believe in god but I believe that you're my savior...>>

awesome captain alena (yellow & purple ena) model by @tailorwww

I made sena as a first 3d sculpt it took me 2 days straight of constant YouTube tutorials😭😭, it was but also wasn’t as hard as I thought to learn the basic stuff,, I did sculpt in nomad sculpt so I could use my stylus and procreate to color it and rig in blender

hopefully I’ll eventually be able to make the whole door and just play dolls with them in blender and take a million screenshots that’s my goal honestly 😭 learning that will take awhile but for now I’m going to try to make more of my ena ocs

her hair was the hardest for me.

also ill probably end up rigging the fingers too eventually 😭
