Style

You see Twilight Tippler Lasaia Heru'Armiarma, Saucy Sailor of the Order of the Iron Circle, an Elven Trader.
Her face is superimposed by colorful moonsmoke that flows into pattern-disrupting apparitions.
She has a shimmering opalescent powder highlighting the contours of her face with an assortment of short, thin scars criss-crossing the right cheek, pointed ears, some night-black kohl flawlessly applied to accentuate her star-flecked royal purple eyes and a tiny star-shaped night diamond nose stud piercing a small nose. Her crystalline hair is calf length and glossy, and is worn tied back in a thick rope-like column bound by a strand of gold coins swirled with glittery jewels. She has pearlescent skin contoured with glittering swipes of translucent crystal dust and a set of tiny uhlari prism constellations following the lines of a sylphlike figure. She is statuesque for an Elf.
Her right hip has a tattoo of a silvery anchor inked with thick black outlines above the elegantly cursive word "Unsinkable".

She is wearing a soft hair wrap beaded with a mosaic of marine-hued seaglass, a swanky first mate's eyepatch fashioned from imperial weave, a single-breasted naval peacoat of blue twill wool, a sophisticated starlight velvet sailbag showcasing whiskey quartz kegs, a tight black high-necked sweater, a dark loimic oath ring bisected by a scoundrel's diamond falling star, a high-waisted black wool mermaid skirt with cascading ruffles and some glossy black leather boots lined in soft wool.

Lasaia's true eye color is black-limned mazarine. She uses a magical ring to create the illusion of a royal purple hue.

She was born with dark hair, blue eyes, and tanned skin. Her features evolved after undergoing the Negotiants' surgery to implant avtalia crystals inside her body, and continued to change over time due to excessive exposure to starlight.

Background

Birthplace: Zaldi Taipa
Clan of Origin: Wind
Current Affiliation: Celestial
Citizenship: Ratha

Lasaia Asarana (a variation of tranquil sea) was not the name she was given at birth. Her Chui'lana Clan name is Amets Gul (Dream Flower).

In the Fall of 444, she forfeited the Asarana surname, taking a new one with Captain Senthic. They would now go by Heru'Armiarma (Sand Spider), and she formally recognized him as a brother.

Boutique

[In the Knight's Hall of the Riverhaven Plaza, Warrior Room]
Central in the room, a life-sized carved wooden warhorse stands rearing on a woven burgundy runner outlined in brass stanchions with velvet covered ropes. The steed is fully bedecked in a suit of polished plate, tassels of gold threads hanging from its harness and a brass-riveted scabbard hanging beside the black leather saddle. Paintings of stallions in battle are hung above high-backed gilded chairs placed near the entrances to the various shops.

[Lasaia's Ferda Crew Fashions, Sales Floor]
A granite sales counter sits prominently in the back of the shop, providing a surface for merchant and customer to haggle or exchange goods for coin. A black oak mantle hangs on the granite walls, with a black oak armoir and a black oak vanity along the edges of the room. A black oak desk sits on the granite floor, with a black oak trunk placed nearby to provide a variety of browsing options.

(The Hired Help)

Wheels

[Lasaia's Caravan, Exterior]
Lasaia owns a smokewood caravan shaped like a whiskey barrel bound with audrualm hoops. Large rivets secure bluish-grey hoops binding the wooden slats of the caravan together. Complete with a oversized spigot for a doorknob, the whole assembly rides atop laminated wheels resembling barrel lids. A metal plate attached to the back of the caravan reads "There's a Party Inside!".

[Lasaia's Caravan, Interior]
A plush bedroll rests along one wall with a artificial fire pit nearby. Though carved of wood, the fire pit has been cleverly painted to reveal the surrounding stones and even brightly painted flames along the firewood. The walls and ceiling are the color of the night sky with small embedded crystals resembling stars. You also see a large parchment map set in a carved wooden frame, a banded iron lockbox chained to the floor, a sturdy oak door with a brass-framed peephole and a dented brass spittoon.

Estates

[Crossing Apartment and Half Bar, Raven's Court]
Walls of alerce mosaic and a glittering crystal tile floor covered by a royal purple carpet enclose this room. In one corner lies a luxurious ilomba bed draped in garlands of moonstained wildflowers, and near the bed sits a striking dressing table painted in soft sunset hues on which rests a small glittering jewel safe of starlight-white uthamar. A darkened oak mantel fireplace burns along the far wall with a stately alerce-framed painting hanging above it. The room holds a slight scent of starflowers. You also see a long-haired grey kitten, a darkstone-framed clerestory window, a sleek mistglass bar cart with an exquisitely sculpted uthamar openwork frame with several things on it and a high-backed mahogany parlor chair that is facing the table.

[Ratha Manor and Full Bar, Shh'o'kumu Terrace, Zsikiel Lane]
A delightful lane is paved in perfectly matched cobbles, and bordered by low whitewashed fencing and sculpted hedges. Draping willows form an arch over the roadway. You also see an elegant red brick manor sitting behind terraces of red-bricked seasonal gardens.

Black and tan goldwood walls and a dramatic gold and ebon tile floor covered by a fluffy featherlette rug featuring bright blue and green hues enclose this room. In one corner lies a claw-footed chaise lounge featuring a bold pattern of emerald green palm leaves, and near the lounge sits a circular black and tan sana'ati bar with a white lace runner with some stuff on it. A white pillared marble fireplace burns along the far wall with a horizontal painting of people promenading through a park hanging above it. The room holds a slight scent of sea spray. You also see a black and tan Rossgallan setter, a fan-shaped stained glass window composed of seaglass in blue and green hues, a maple door carved with the figure of Morganae, an elegant dark goldwood bookcase with blackened moonsilver filigree with a generous shot of cartographer's whiskey on it and a rich black cashmere armchair.

Senthic and Lasaia occasionally crash at her Crossing apartment after long, smoky nights of gambling and booze in the VIP Suite. Since forming the Sand Spider Crew, they've affectionately dubbed the Ratha manor "The Pirate Palace". The rear of the brick house has been entirely defaced by graffiti emblems: tiny eye-patched kitten skulls overlaying crossbones. Due to the fact that they were both drunk on spiked sea grog, they're not sure if one or both of them did it.

Animals

Lasaia keeps after two travel kittens named Sunny and Shady, her housecat Minch, the octo-hog Swinethic and the bird-pig Smuglet, a rashy Rathan sewer monkey, an otter with no name and one Akhaal horse, Haizel.

Artwork

Lasaia pulls some sheets of paper from inside a jumbled memory book filled with keepsakes and drawings.

The paper is painted with: a vision of Violet and Leaf costumed as Wood and Flame. The pair faces each other, hands intertwined, exchanging a soulful look. A cloaked Prince Joy admires them from the background, piercing eyes gazing out from beneath the hem of his hood. The Prince is depicted to have a mountainous shadow, mismatched from his build as if it were not his own. Circus performers, clowns, and stagehands loiter about the throuple. Among those that stand out - a ringmistress in a fancy pants top hat, three flamboyant peacocks one of which is holding a sword, a couple of ordinarily dressed folks in the midst of a popcorn food fight, a tall Elf in white standing in a puddle of paint, a short young bard in a leotard holding a giant hoop, and a Gnome being chased by a ferocious kitten. The piece is titled ~Run Away With Us~ along the bottom in an elegant script.

The paper is painted with: The crew of the Open Grave. Scanning the piece, you see an elderly Elothean woman. A mischievous smirk contradicts her matronly nightgown as one hand twirls a cob of corn with sickly green kernels. Her grandson, Senthic, lies curled at her feet. A sleepy sea-blue peeper peers from a pirate mask with an eyepatch. Nearby, Shaylynne is sprawled awkwardly with a nauseated pallor despite donning a fancy dress. Outfitted in wintry apparel stands Lasaia downing a shot of something apparently strong with the Elothean's daughter, and hard to tell who is leaning on who while the two cast side-eyed glances at Kamisama. No, it's not your imagination that he is only wearing a red sweater, a sprig of mistletoe, a sock, and a rash. Last but definitely not least, is Captain Karturis, cheeks puffed out over his beard, holding a mint-hued bottle, and spraying a fine mist over everyone else's head like a grand fountain.
