Maraine Shull

A savvy and sharp-tongued trader, Maraine was on board with a few chests of valuable trade goods, including rare spices, jewelry, and silks she intended to sell in New Haven. She is streetwise and highly skeptical of others, particularly nobility, and is constantly eyeing people’s belongings, noting any possible trade value.
Maraine Shull has the elegant, graceful bearing typical of her half-elven heritage, though her sharp features speak more of practicality than delicate beauty. Her almond-shaped green eyes are calculating and framed by long lashes, betraying her shrewd, observant nature. Her shoulder-length auburn hair is tied back into a loose bun, though strands often escape to frame her high cheekbones. Maraine’s skin is lightly tanned from long days traveling between trade routes, with faint freckles scattered across her nose.
She dresses in practical yet fine clothing—a deep burgundy coat with gold embroidery at the cuffs and lapels, over a dark brown blouse and trousers. Her boots are scuffed from wear, but the silver buckles on them remain polished, hinting at her appreciation for subtle displays of wealth. Around her neck hangs a simple gold pendant shaped like a coin, which she occasionally fingers absentmindedly when lost in thought. Her hands are adorned with multiple rings—each one different, likely bartered in various markets—but her demeanor is such that she seems to hold the upper hand in every negotiation.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Her cargo consists of goods to be sold at a high-profit market in New Haven. She’s especially attached to a small, ornate chest that she claims holds her life savings.
Survival Situation: While physically fine, Maraine is focused on salvaging her goods from the wreck and is wary of others pilfering her merchandise. She may trade small items in exchange for protection or information but is not above bargaining hard.
