[b]Name:[/b] "Sato Kaede. Call me Kaede, even if you don't know me. Don't like that formal bull."

[b]Profession:[/b] "Was a privateer for Euskadtcha. First Mate, too."

[b]Age:[/b] "Turned twenty-seven a couple years back."

[b]Appearance:[/b] "Odd question, seein' as you're the one lookin' at me. Guess I gotta answer ya, though. A bit pale, if I'm being honest, though it ain't too noticeable. Been told my eyes are hazel, ain't never really looked before. Hair's black, keep it cut short, near my shoulders. Keeps it out of my eyes when on the sea. Guess I'm decent height. Five-foot-nine, maybe? Got me some muscle. Nothing huge, couldn't notice it underneath all the clothing. Gotta stay muscled, work I do. Been complimented on my looks, but sailors at sea for weeks on end would compliment a one-eyed, bucktoothed tavern wench. Still think I look a bit girlish, rather than like a woman, though. Satisfied?"

[b]Preferred Weapon:[/b] "Use a cutlass, for the most part. Got a pair of daggers strapped to my thighs, just in case."

[b]Hometown:[/b] "Small, fishin' village few miles down the coast from Euskadtcha. Never was important enough to get named."

[b]History:[/b] "Like I said, came from a little fishing village south of Euskadtcha. Was a fisher. What, don't believe me? Good, maybe you're not as dumb as ya look. Fifteen, left that hole for Euskadtcha, signed on the first ship that'd take me. Swabbed decks for months. Eventually got around to training me to use a sword. Cutlass, different from broadswords. Need more finesse. Anyway, taught me how to use a sword and knives. Got to help on some of the raids. What, thought I'd just gotten on a trade ship? Hell, we were privateers. Like pirates, but we work for the government, an' don't raid no one but criminals. Pirates of the pirates, I guess.

"Anyway, served on the ship for years. Worked my way up. Made sure I was noticed by the crew when I went on raids. No, not that way, you idiot. Mean I was flashy. Went in, showed off, got the job done too. Never tried to short anyone of their due, or any of the loot. Never stole from the ship. Got one rule among sailors. Well, two, I guess. First one is, don't ever lie to each other. That includes stealin', or takin' more than your share. The other is, don't sleep with the rest of the crew. Both for practical reasons.

"Gettin' off again. Er, said that wrong. Yeah, well, showed off enough. Captain took a shine to me, more than I figured. Made me first mate around when I was twenty-three, I think. Well, things went on like normal, for a while. Few months ago, though, guy made a move on me. Remember rule two of sailors? 'Parently, that don't count if the crew's got women. Told him to act professional, an' left it at that. Next thing I know, second time to port in Euskadtcha, get arrested. Called me a thief an' smuggler. Tried to convince 'em, didn't work. Captain was reputable, lot more than me. Probably him told 'em that, revenge for not fuckin' 'im. Bet the bastard is the real smuggler, if there is one. Been rottin' in a cell until I got to go look for those Sudoku things.

"Well, that's my story. Now, get outta here, you're bothering me."

[b]Why you've taken up the quest:[/b] "Welp, was accused of being a lying piece of filth by the city. Gatherin' these things'll help me get my rep back, may as well do it. An' if I'm gonna do it, I'mma do it right an' get 'em all. Surely they'll drop charges then. Might even get me my own ship an' crew. Least I'll deserve, after all this shit."

[b]Personality:[/b] "Well, as you've probably noticed, I'm just a lil ray o' sunshine. Won't show if I'm depressed or anythin'. Will try to look all smiles an' shit when everyone's lookin'. Let ya know when I'm mad, though. Guess I'm paranoid enough, though not like I see threats or bandits in ever shadow. Better word'd be superstitious. Always believed in sea monsters, mermaids, stuff like that. Ghosts, too. Other than that, believe in Rhea. Sea goddess village worships. Pray alot when on a boat."

[b]Inventory:[/b] "Whatever money I've got left to my name, some lockpicks. Other than that, clothes on my back and weapons at my hips."

[b]Other Info:[/b] "Ain't got nothin' else to say to ya. Not, get away. These questions irritate me."
