Description
Gloria is a water orc. They're very tall, slender, and extremely fit. She is by no means impressive, but something in her demeanour demands respect - she exudes authority. Her skin is a clear teal that reminds the seas of the south, she has two horns sitting at the top of her forehead (one of them is broken), and long whitish-green hair.

She wears a simple tunic and pants and sports a leather cuirass. She also carries a saber that never seems to leave her side.

Personality
Gloria is a no-nonsense leader who commands her crew with an iron will. She comes across as cold and makes most people who do not know her extremely uncomfortable. Despite this, she is a very capable leader: she inspires loyalty in her crew through her devotion to her position and her strength as a fighter. Her crew also know that she is more sympathetic than she lets on. She understands her own limits and is aware that she needs other people to make up for these. She recognizes talent where it might not have been seen and encourages her people to exploit parts of themselves that might have been viewed as weaknesses. She despises cowardice and holds loyalty above all qualities.

History
There is little to be known about Gloria because she is mute. It is unclear whether she was born like this or if something happened, but no one has ever heard her say anything. She communicates through a series of gestures that may be interpreted by their first mate, Sri (who also happens to be a very talented wind namer and the captain's wife), if the concerned party does not understand

Her crew is constituted of all the sailors who were rejected by other crews - whatever the reason may be. Our Imperious Lady of the Tides is responsible for the security of Lamplight. This involves stopping all boats in the vicinity of the island that do not carry the proper flags, boarding them, shake things up, pillage, and sink if necessary (it's necessary alright - Our Imperious Lady of the Tides has never left a ship floating). This has owed Gloria the nickname of The Wall of Lamplight.
