HISTORY
» Born as the illegitimate daughter of a travelling mercenary and a high-born woman, Hallis was orphaned at a young age. The mercenary had taken her in after her mother's family did not support the union, placing her in the care of an elderly woman while he left for war. As war goes, the mercenary was presumably killed during the war and payments to her caretaker soon ceased. Hallis was subsequently abandoned near the docks in Kilbride. She wasn't very bright as a child, but she was terribly lucky, finding a home amongst a small group of sailors who had, in various circumstances, lost family or children in the recent wars.
She filled a strange niche, taking the place of a daughter for some of the men. Despite the dangers of drunks and cruel men, Hallis was always well-cared for. She had found a place under the watchful eye of a retired Navy commander, and others knew that if she were meddled with, there would be hell to pay. When she became more capable she took on chores such as cleaning and helping repair small cracks in her current ship's infrastructure. By age 7, she had become a regular sight on the trading routes. It was almost unheard of to have a female child aboard voyages, but she was nearly invisible and normally did not cause any issues. When she did get in trouble, it was punished swiftly and severely with a number of lashes, depending on the severity. For example, once at age 10 she, out of spite for the ship's captain, loosened the fastenings on several crates of cargo. During a storm in the nights the crates ended up moving about the ship, causing the goods to be damaged and the captain to be furious. Hallis was given the option of a good deal of lashes or to leave the ship once they hit land and receive only half the lashes. She opted to be given 13 lashes with the very ropes she had tampered with.
Continuing her streak of good luck, Hallis was given an apprenticeship to a navigator for 3 years. From 13 to 16 she gained a solid understanding of astrology and how to confidently navigate using both the stars and charts. She was quick to pick up the trade, having an acute sense for detail. She was much like a dog with a good, natural sense of direction. At the end of the apprenticeship she was old enough to go into the trade herself, having developed an excellent network of connections and understanding of the politics for each port.
Personality-wise, she wasn't much of what you would expect from a woman raised by men. She was good natured, loyal, and easily trusting. She could hold her own in any argument, making up where her combat and physical skills lacked. She was a cheerful and confident drunk, often finding herself making new friends that she barely remembered in the morning. Hallis' greatest trait was perhaps her motherly and caring side. She had a soft spot for troubled souls, and often found herself more interested in the lives of others' rather than her own. She was very much content to be a listener.
By her 20th birthday she had 4 years of private, solo navigational practice. While she was anything but a master, she was a quick learner and enjoyed her work. The sea was her home, but Hallis yearned for more, deciding to head for Dornach in order to find work that her further inland.
