History

Timeless sea breezes,

sea-wind of the night:

you come for no one

PRESENTSherry initially landed in Thavnair to search for a sea witch but soon found herself embroiled with the underworld. Although most of her time was taken up by illegal smuggling or hunting marks, she took to a kind, elderly Raen couple named Mahvash and Farrokh. The pair reminded her of her parents and made their honest coin by fishing.During a skirmish in Yedlihmad when the town was overrun by beasts, Sherry did her best to protect them and the new friends she had made. Unfortunately, as a machinist, there was little she could do to keep their attention on her. The elderly couple - like many others - were lost in the destruction.Since returning from Thavnair, Sherry has been splitting her time between the Sea of Clouds and Limsa Lominsa. While she visits her crew to help when she can, she is technically on leave. For what? She won't say, but if you stop by La Noscea, you may just see her swinging an axe at rocks in an attempt to "train."PASTThe smell of salt carried in the wind, the rough waves of the sea, the sound of her pistol firing into a skirmish - this is where Sherry feels most at home.Born to an Au Ra couple in Limsa Lominsa who ran a shipping business, Sherry grew up in the shipyard. Although she heard rumours that her mother had been an infamous pirate in their homeland, both of her parents had left any tales of the Ruby Sea, Doma and their Raen kin behind. Throughout her childhood, she often accompanied her father along his trade routes to Gridania and Ul'dah. It was on one of these trips that she first met her brother Jean... but that is a tale for another time.Dreaming of lands beyond the forested Gridania and sandy Ul'dah, she joined a pirate's crew as an arcanist in hopes that she could make it to Doma. To this day, her father still believes that she was simply an adventurer. Her mother, a woman changed by the pirate's way, could always see through the ruse.Her crew carried her into illicit trade routes, through Dravania, Ishgard, and later the Sea of Clouds. After an accident decimated her crew, she spent some time in Ishgard and later joined a new band of sky pirates, picking up the machinist combat style. With this crew, she made it all the way to Kugane. As she searched for information about her kin, she was met with something of a mythical tale - that many of the Raen had fled to live in the sea. Thinking herself foolish, she gave up on her search and returned home.When she returned to Limsa, a Marauder friend suggested that look into the work that their guild had uncovered. Trading in her pistol for a grimoire once more, she attempted to unravel the secrets of her faeries - albeit not very successfully. In those days, you could find her running with the sky pirate crew in the Sea of Clouds, stealing from the foreign ships just outside of Limsa Lominsa, solo treasure hunting or buried in a codex.After all of these adventures, one grand mystery still remains. Even now, Sherry wonders if that city under the sea truly exists... and if she'll ever be able to make it there.
