All she'd known was that the ocean called to her, and working on a ship was the easiest way to keep it abated. Sighing, she left the door behind as she made her way towards the gangplank. "It didn't last long." As she leaned on the railing, keeping her eyes peeled for her returning crew, Thal felt a moment of sentimentality, running her hand along the worn wood. "The previous captain died and left her to me." And that's how she'd ended up here, Captain of The Marauder.
Listening to Rhi's response, it all seemed to click. She was much too composed and disciplined to be a simple mercenary. Nodding her head, she confirmed. "So a soldier. Makes sense."

We could use more women on board." Contrary to what some of her crew thought of women and the bad luck they brought, the Captain liked the occasional female contribution to the work.
