The handle and shaft is of a fine wood and the curved blade has a fine sharpness. It's heftier than a hatchet but light enough to be used effectively with one hand. -A cloth sack tucked away in her inn room. Its contents are a somewhat worn brocade jacket and leather trousers and gloves. -A pouch with coins always affixed to her waist. Not exactly a weapon but almost as useful as one. [color=ADFF2F][b]Appearance[/b][/color]: [hider=Under The Radar Reference][img]https://i.imgur.com/IcJ1RIU.jpg[/img][/hider] Sabine's most striking feature is her ash blonde hair which she has let grow long enough to where she fixes it in a ponytail. Her face has rather soft features, save for her rather sharp jawline and the steely ice-blue of her eyes. Surprising for a woman of her age she has a somewhat stocky build to her though the musculature is obscured by her present day-to-day attire of cloth and woolen clothing. Her arm strength, enough to use her axe without difficulty, doesn't betray her otherwise unmistakably feminine curves in her plainclothes. Always hidden, be it by neckerchief or by hair or clothing, Sabine has an odd marking on the back of her neck that resembles a burn or a branding. [color=ADFF2F][b]Personality:[/b][/color]: Given the fact that Sabine has a very loose definition of morals it's almost shocking how personable and polite she is around most company. Charismatic comes to mind after a single conversation with Sabine, and given her habit of using words to quell a situation or to turn one to her advantage, it's easy to see why she has a bit of a captivating presence. Of course, the ones with the silver tongues happen to often be the biggest liars and Sabine is no exception to that. While she would certainly prefer to use bribes or deals to her advantage, she's seen enough of the world to know that when diplomacy and negotiation fails that the only other option is to make sure the other guy isn't in any position to fight back. Her coin purse might be tight but her morals certainly aren't, and in a fight Sabine doesn't give her opponent the time to strike first and mercy is not a concept that enters the equation. Why should she show mercy in a fight when they wouldn't show her the same? [color=ADFF2F][b]Short Biography[/b][/color]: Sabine Morrick was once a romanticist who dreamed of a life of adventure and exploration which she attributed to her father primarily. Her father was a simple man. A fisherman by trade who sold the day's catches at market and used the profits for a bit of fun with the wench population. Sabine couldn't begin to guess which of Tenebroux's wenches had the misfortune of carrying her to term but she hoped she had the decency not to have any customers for that time. Sabine loved the sea and the breeze and salty spray it brought in every morning; as long as she could remember she wanted to join her father on a fishing excursion. He didn't want to bring her but Sabine had a knack for getting her way. She begged until he relented. How fortunate that the first time Sabine and her father went fishing in their little boat that they would be met by pirates. It was hardly the ideal way to spend her twelfth birthday. They took Sabine and her father on board but there was little use for a plump fisherman other than chum for the sharks and he was promptly gutted and tossed overboard. Sabine, being a girl, could fetch a price for the right bidder and was kept aboard. It became clear that selling her wasn't exactly high on their priority list given that selling her too soon would mean an unknown time before they next even laid sights on a lass. Sabine had a rather unpleasant three years with the pirates but it hardened her, for better and for worse. She assumed the worst they could do was make her watch as they murdered her father; she was wrong, but it only fueled her. Fortunes changed, somewhat, when Sabine struck back. One of the drunken crew members was easy enough to convince to get Sabine's hands free of the bindings, and from there it was as easy as taking his weapon and using it against him. She had thought this would lead to her own undoing but the Captain was somewhat impressed by the initiative shown. So much so that he offered Sabine a place on the crew, nothing glamorous, but it was better than being a prisoner. The crew objected but Sabine accepted. The Captain grew somewhat fond of Sabine and while Sabine never saw the Captain as a father figure, she did use the opportunity to learn skills. Map reading. Sailing. How to fight like her life was on the line. The Captain was quite the teacher, but his greatest lesson was teaching Sabine how to command respect. The lessons lasted two years and Sabine learned soon enough that there was more to it than just 'fondness' with the Captain. Sabine took advantage of the Captain's fondness one evening and the Captain became the second life she took willingly. The rest of the crew was initially angered by this blatant act of mutiny, but Sabine learned her lessons well. Those who had a problem with her could either fall in line or fall on the edge of a blade. Morrick's Mauraders was born that night and for six years the name 'Morrick' was infamous throughout Tenebroux for their ferocity and their raiding. When they raided a port they cut a bloody swath and took what they demanded - and not always just coins and food. Morrick, the Captain of these brigands, was always believed to be a man due to Sabine wearing long clothing and obscuring her face. When Morrick's Mauraders turned their sights to robbing Romeras' gold, or at least spreading the whispers that they had bigger sights in mind, the king had to intervene and the Mauraders were intercepted by the King's forces. Sabine put the Captain's mantle on a different crew member and acted like a kidnapped victim in the hold when the soldiers boarded. It was a gamble, but given that Sabine stripped herself of the identity, it was believable. Using the name Sabine Bellacourt, she managed to be 'rescued' and used the chaos to escape. Any soldier worth a damn would have eventually found the brand on the back of her neck and she didn't want to take the chance. Sabine fled as far as Lutaire and has remained under the radar. People believe Morrick to be dead, and in some ways 'he' is. Though she's been keeping a low profile, Sabine would be lying if she said she didn't still feel the call of adventure, wherever it might be. It's been two years since her supposed 'death' and it's about time for a revival. Assuming, of course, she can find a new sort of legacy.
