**Disclaimer** All mentions of the world in this post are curtisy of my DM: John.

Z'nath, she came from wealth and wondering, but shunned it all away. This character was created as my first d&d character that I would get to play in Japan with a group of amazing expats. Our DM had created this amazing world which basically boiled down to two things: Space Pirates. Totally intrigued and watching a LOT of Black Sails I wanted to create a character that had resemblance to Anne Bonny. So here we are:

Z'nath goes by Zee to anyone she becomes close to. She finds making friends pretty easy, but doesn't find talking her way out of things quite as easily. She is a tabaxi, in Skyrim they're called Khajiit, but basically she is a cat person. A calico tabaxi to be precise and in this world, the fur coloring determines your status amongst the race. The calico tabaxi aren't at the top of the class ladder but they're pretty high up there. Her mother J'Nira Daughter of G'Rald was a long haired white Siberian calico. The top class that a tabaxi could be. Some say by marrying L'Founds Son of U'Veld, she married beneath her status, but whoever thought that didn't know they would end up being the richest merchants on Ehlonna.

Ehlonna was one of the wealthier planets in the Pelar System. It is a forest planet and has a huge trading hub, but it's known for it trade in voidwood. Now this is the stuff that is basically the foundation to any ship made. So naturally, having the major monopoly on the supply gave Zee's family a fair advantage. Since her father was the main trader on Ehlonna so some believe her mother didn't marry beneath her, but that's always up for debate. Depending on who you talk to.

Life at the Arbor's Way, which was the estate Z'nath grew up on, was massive in the eyes of many people. The house looked like something from an 1800s plantation. It had large spiraling pillars in the front that showed strength that was voidwood. People didn't build their homes out of it because of how expensive it was. Having it as part of your home showed you had money. And boy did L'Founds have money. There was not a want or care in the world for their only offpring. If Z'nath wanted to do it, she could. Her parents made sure she was well educated. She studied languages, writing, reading vast texts, and to her mother's despair and father's delight: fencing.

At the age of five, she didn't want to play with dolls or wear pretty dresses. Now she did have a closet full of dresses, but she could always be found playing with a stick in her father's warehouses defending whoever from whatever. Her father caught a glimpse of this one day and gave her the best fencing coach money could buy on Ehlonna. Her coach taught her everything from the dance of the sword to the flick swish of her tail. She ate, slept, and breathed fencing. When she was older her father presented her with a beautiful rapier. It had black and green jewels on the hand guard and was so sharp she could slice a piece of paper with a flick of her wrist. She named it: Mercy's Fallen.

Her mother believed that such weapons should be left mounted on walls or in the hands of ruffians. Zee didn't pay any mind to that and carried her rapier every where. She used it to win any argument she had with some of the boys of her class and sometimes when she was feeling brave and rebellious, she'd sneak out to the dueling rings and have a go. She kept her dueling close safe from her mother's eyes in her closet. A rough brownish black looking brimmed at with the left side bent up at the bucket covered her calico mane. She had a long double buttoned coat that she wore over loose trousers and a flowey olive green tunic. The more room she had to move the better.

She was able to hide her weekly ventures to the dueling ring until a horrible loss to a half orc fellow. She had been doing well against him. Getting a few swipes in, but when Zee took a blunt force across her right eye and across the bridge of her nose, she lost her balance and tripped. Coming home she wasn't able to cover up the large gash on her face before her mother got a glimpse of her. It was around this time that Z'nath started to notice her world wasn't so perfect.

Stay tuned for the next saga of Z'nath's story...
