Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born as the result of a wealthy English squire's fling with his housemaid, the Nameless was unwanted by almost all her family except for her eccentric stepuncle.   The stepuncle tried to send her to the New World to give her a better life when she was almost fourteen, but the ship she went on sunk in a storm. She was rescued by pirates and spent the rest of her youth in a pirate nation.   Because her father waffled and refused to declare her a legitimate heir, the Nameless is the only known lion who has no surname. The pirates call her Captain Lion regardless.

Employment

Was a pirate off the African Gold Coast from 1840 to 1850.

When she was in her twenties, she went on a sailing trip halfway around the world to collect diplomatic clout and a full pardon for the pirates.
She went to places like Madagascar, China, and India with her entourage. As a result of this trip, she brought back skills and materials for the pirates to take their place in an industrialized world.

Her first trip to scavenge treasure from a wrecked civilization ended in failure as the flagship was sunk. This was the accident which gave her the trademark scar.

Has a very strong sense of direction, including her own body's location as long as she isn't encumbered by items that extend beyond her body.
