Heart of the Thistle Yivise

Heart of the Thistle Yivise (a.k.a. Thistle)

Thistle, as her name goes now, is the bastard child of the Elven head of the Naval fleet of the Clovis concord out of Port Damali and Her Tabaxi Mother, who raised her in her tribe in the islands on the Lucidian Ocean. When she was around 14 she was exiled from her tribe after symbolically insulting her Mother, when she fed one of the prisoners that the tribe was holding who she was not supposed to, setting out on a small Catamaran ship and sailing out to meet her father, who she only knew as an Elven Sailor in the Northern Ports. After about 4 or 5 years, she made a small name on the ocean, sailing and helping locals deal with local problems, building up a name as a mysterious vagabond on the sea. When she helped some clovis concord sailors to slay a sea serpent, she learned the location of her father in Port Damali. She met her father in her 19th year, who regarded her with a manner of disdain and scorn, and did his best to not ascociate himself with her, due to a campaign for political office that would end up being successful. Her Full Elven half-siblings, who were all older than her, thought of her with suspicion, thinking the Wild looking sea torn stranger who very clearly shared their blood somewhat scandalous, but did not hate her like her father did.
Her father, Daenor Yivise, feeling his military and diplomatic reputation was at risk with the presence of his illegitimate half-elven daughter framed her for a crime, namely high Piracy of a Merchant Vessel owned by a Dwendalian Noble which was sunk a few months prior. Using this he sent her north, to be imprisoned in the Empire, as far from his political interests as possible.

Body Features
