Ahoy!

My lair's own fearless, feisty, fashion-forward, flawless, and, uh- *flips through dictionary* -fabulous pirate crew, for talk like a pirate day!

Captain Karkoff has always provided a welcome ship for dragons of all walks of life... Which, somehow, has led to a crew entirely comprised of fellow trans women (alongside eager genderfluid cook Bobbie, who they've been told is a demon, and sometimes a guy, but love nonetheless)- which suits them all just fine. However, the crew's pirating days almost seem to be coming to an end, with swordfights and ship battles dwindling in exchange for hitting up port cities and beaches with their abundant remaining riches.

They love it!

In all fairness, Nihla was formally trained as a bard, with the hurdy-gurdy as her instrument of choice. So she's pretty darn good at it! And, on top of being a decent person, that's one of the reasons Karkoff let her join the crew. She would have rescued Nihla regardless, but, even if Nihla isn't a great fighter, her musical skills are second to none (according to the crew), and... Well, she's a big ditzy gal with a nice demeanor and nicer voice, it would have been very difficult for alot of crew members to argue against her sticking around.

Anyhow, any good pirate crew needs someone musically inclined (according to the crew). An instrument is just a nice bonus, what really counts is having a repertoire of sea shanties and other tunes at the ready- which Nihla does!

oh yea this is a Gaoler I bought... def gonna be part of Karkoff's crew cause why not

my very vague ideas so far for her (Nihla) are

- pirate bard? trained as a bard, became a pirate

- big, fluffy, could probably make a good Seeker but she's kind of spacey. somewhat oblivious to danger because potential threats usually don't think they can take her. they don't know she's not been properly trained in combat

- trans lady. obviously. it just seems like step one of being on the crew now (unless you're Bobbie)

- might give her swirl eyes

- probably kidnapped by a different pirate crew at first and kept around because she could lift heavy things

- until Karkoff/her crew got into a fight with that ship and boarded it? Nihla dug their style and went "wait wait I wanna get out of here. I can play music" and Karkoff basically went ok w/e

- that's it

- dunno what instrument she plays
