Amali took to being a captain very well. She was a benevolent, but somewhat strict captain. She paid her crew fairly, protected them from danger, fed them well, paid for their healthcare, etc. However, she reprimanded them when they tried to get into trouble on board or off, and she forbade them from playing that racist game on board.
Amali had three ships: The Defiant, The Valiant, and The Triumphant. The Valiant is her first ship she bought herself, and it is very fast and agile. She’s most especially proud of her last ship, The Triumphant, a large powerhouse of a galley and easily the most luxurious of her ships.
Amali loves Vela and did her best, but life in the Deadfire isn’t as stable as it was in Caed Nua. Amali does try to spend as much time as possible with her daughter--and she manages quite well since they’re on a boat most of the time together--and I headcanon that Amali eventually finds a tutor for Vela. However, that isn’t enough to keep the young girl from getting into trouble, and Amali constantly worries whether or not she did right by Vela in taking her away.
