Alyyeth Zonras (ah-LEY-eth)

Hair: A riot of red curls and braids, often loosely tied back or adorned with small charms and tokens from her travels. The wildness of her hair reflects her free-spirited nature. Her skin is naturally pale, but tanned, with freckles scattered across her face and neck from her time in the sun. Despite her youth, her face is marked with scars—proof of her encounters with danger. Sharp, sea-green eyes constantly flick around her surroundings, always assessing, planning. She's slim but strong, with a sailor’s agility. Her movements are quick and precise, reflecting both her elven dexterity and the physical demands of life aboard an airship.
Adventurous and bold like her absent elven mother, Alyyeth has always sought the thrill of exploration and adventure. She embraces the dangers of air travel and often takes on jobs others might find too risky—especially if the pay is right. Alyyeth has a natural authority when dealing with her crew and passengers, honed from years of navigating tricky situations and difficult jobs. She’s not afraid to make tough calls, and she expects loyalty from her crew.
Despite her wild and independent streak, Alyyeth is deeply connected to her father, Valan Zonras, the Harbormaster of Sezani. Every time The Loosestrife is docked, she takes time to visit him, sharing stories of her journeys. Her father's influence is obvious in her sharp mind for logistics and her sense of responsibility.
She’s learned to navigate the tough business world from her father, but her adventurous side makes her more willing to take risks. She respects those who can handle themselves and won't tolerate weakness in her crew—but she’s not cruel, only practical.

Family & Early Life

Born to Valan Zonras, the Harbormaster of Sezani, and an elven mother whose wanderlust took her far beyond the city walls, Alyyeth inherited her father’s practicality and her mother’s desire for adventure. Her mother left when she was very young, though whether it was by choice or circumstance is still a mystery to Alyyeth. Raised by Valan, she grew up around the docks, watching ships come and go, and always dreamed of taking to the skies. By her early twenties, Alyyeth had already captained a small airship crew, gathering a ragtag team of adventurers who shared her thirst for excitement. With a growing reputation for reliability, especially for jobs that required grit, she eventually secured a contract under the East Alavor Trading Company, and now captains The Loosestrife on their behalf.

Enphyra’s Absence

Her mother’s absence shaped Alyyeth’s view of life. She admires her mother’s adventurous spirit but resents the lack of a stable maternal figure. This emotional conflict drives Alyyeth to both live up to Enphyra's wild nature and remain fiercely loyal to her father. While she yearns for answers about her mother, she hasn’t yet pursued them—perhaps out of fear of what she might learn.
Alyyeth loves returning to Sezani because it’s her true home, despite the call of the skies. Her relationship with her father is strong, and she makes sure to spend time with him whenever she’s docked in the city. They share stories over pints at local taverns, and she often helps him with harbor business while she’s grounded.

Role on The Loosestrife

Alyyeth commands a small but tight-knit crew on her airship. They are loyal to her because she’s earned their respect through skill, bravery, and fairness. She’s not a tyrant, but she doesn’t tolerate incompetence, either. Her crew knows that as long as they work hard and stay sharp, they’ll make it through any storm.
Alyyeth has dealt with airship piracy, violent storms, dangerous beasts, and all sorts of hazards that come with her line of work. She’s always ready for a fight, and her ship is stocked with a few weapons and defensive items to fend off would-be attackers. Her reputation for surviving even the toughest trips is part of why Alavor’s company continues to hire her, even for risky deliveries.
Though she’s adventurous, Alyyeth is also a shrewd businesswoman. She’s willing to take on dangerous trips, but only if the pay is worth it. This combination of boldness and financial pragmatism makes her a valuable asset to trading companies like the East Alavor Trading Company, as well as any adventurers who may need a skilled captain with an appetite for risk.

Key Relationships:

Valan Zonras (Father, Harbormaster of Sezani):

Alyyeth’s relationship with her father is the one steady force in her life. Valan taught her everything about shipping, logistics, and responsibility. While they’re not always in the same place, they share a deep bond. Valan is proud of his daughter’s accomplishments but worries about her adventurous streak—something that reminds him too much of her elven mother. They have a strong, supportive relationship, often drinking and swapping stories when Alyyeth returns to Sezani.

The Crew of The Loosestrife:

Alyyeth's crew is a mismatched bunch, but they’re fiercely loyal to her. They’ve been through plenty of dangers together and trust her judgment implicitly. Alyyeth takes care of them, and in return, they know that no matter how wild a job gets, she’ll see them through it.

Quirks

Always Wears a Lucky Charm

Alyyeth wears a small silver pendant that her father gave her when she took her first captaincy. She rubs it absentmindedly when thinking or in moments of stress, but she’ll never admit to being superstitious.

Obsessed with Sky Maps

Alyyeth loves studying airship routes, storm patterns, and cloud formations. Her quarters on The Loosestrife are decorated with old sky maps and navigation charts, some of which she’s drawn herself. She’s always looking for new routes to uncharted places.
