Religious Views:
Rhodesna is devoutly religious to the sister deities of wind and water.  She is both inspired and terrified of their raw power and thinks anyone who isn't must be an idiot.  Her religious views are mixed heavily with superstitions, which is common among Rogues, and so practices many of the common rituals to keep her and her crew in the gods' favor.  One ritual she is known for, are the large beach bonfire parties she throws before any large trip across the ocean. Ignacio is the next god in the hierarchy of importance to Rhodesna.  The Fire Lord is revered for his energy and fortune.  She calls to him for prosperity and wit.

▹▹ Personality

Meyers/Briggs Personality Type: ENTJ- The Commander
Commanders are natural-born leaders. People with this personality type embody the gifts of charisma and confidence, and project authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal. However, Commanders are also characterized by an often ruthless level of rationality, using their drive, determination and sharp minds to achieve whatever end they’ve set for themselves. Perhaps it is best that they make up only three percent of the population, lest they overwhelm the more timid and sensitive personality types that make up much of the rest of the world – but we have Commanders to thank for many of the businesses and institutions we take for granted every day.

▹▹ History

Summary:

Rhodesna is born on the Talori mainland to a poor family.  Her father is a kind but lazy agriculturalist and her mother is a shunned brewer. Mother dies in an accident while experimenting with potions when Rhodesna is only five.  Her father struggles to make ends meet, care for his daughter, and handle his grief in her absence.  He turns to alcohol for comfort but only manages to dig himself deeper into debt.  To escape persecution, the family of two sell themselves into indentured servitude.  They travel to the Isles of the Dead where Rhodesna's father could continue to nurse his alcoholism without the threat of more fines.  Father and daughter hop from place to place until they find seemingly more stable work aboard King's Fortune, a Rogue ship captained by a very charismatic man named Caspian.  However, once on the open ocean, Caspian is revealed to be extremely abusive to his indentured crewmen, basically treating them as slaves.  For twenty years, Rhodesna and her father are forced to work on his ship, until Rhodesna had enough and inspired a mutiny.  With the help of a freak storm, they take the ship, though her father and Caspian die in the process.  Triumphant, Rhodesna sails back to the Isles where she frees the other indentured servants and turns over Caspian's captured regular crewmen to the Keeper of the Code so that they could be tried for their crimes.  Keeper Atlas finds Rhodesna's prisoners to be justly apprehended and passes them onto the Talori government.  He also gives her permission to keep King's Fortune which she promptly renames Stormchaser.  Some of the now free indentured servants choose to continue to follow Rhodesna. Their mission now is making up for time lost and ensuring the code is followed so that something like they had endured for so long never happens again.

Childhood:
Rhodesna's story begins in a little coastal Talorian village.  Her father, Costa, was an agriculturalist who came from a very large and very traditional Talori family.  He was the youngest of twelve children so there wasn't much left for his parents to give when it came time for him to leave home.  Costa's parents didn't think much of him anyways, he was lazy and unmotivated, but that changed to outright contempt when he decided to marry a Rogue.  At least that's what they thought she was, given her accent and manners. 

Rhodesna's mother, Ellena, never revealed much about her past to anyone.  In fact, she acted as if she were trying to erase it or run from it.  Her work as a brewer and her new family were the only things that mattered.  Rhodesna doesn't remember much about her mother, since she accidentally poisoned herself while trying to create a new medicine when Rhodesna was only five, but there are a few things that stuck with her.  The first was that she always smelled of salt.  No matter what she did, where she went, or how many times she bathed, her mother always carried that familiar smell.  The second was, she was different.  Even though Rhodesna was young, she was old enough to notice that the other villagers treated her mother differently than they did each other or even her father, and that Ellena herself stood out from them.  The last thing was the immense love her mother had for life and adventure.  It was a love so powerful, that she managed to instill it into her daughter's heart despite the short time she had with her.

Ellena's death took a hard toll on both Rhodesna and Costa.  Costa took it especially hard. He struggled to make ends meet, while caring for his daughter and handling his grief, in her absence.  He began to drink heavily, finding comfort in the numbness the alcohol gave him.  His family never came in to help.  Either Costa's pride kept him from reaching out or their shame kept them from stepping in, Rhodesna would never knew.  She just knew that they were poor and her father was only digging them deeper into his pit of misery. 

Eventually things got bad enough that Costa decided selling himself and his daughter into indentured servitude was their only option.  Somehow they ended up on the Isles of the Dead.  Rhodesna remembered something her father said about visiting her mother's old house, but nothing seemed to come of it.  It must have been a lie to hide the true reason why they were there.  Rhodesna's father could continue to nurse his alcoholism without the threat of more fines on the Isles.  The rogues were free of that charge, unlike on the mainland.

For a few years, Rhodesna and Costa live among the Islanders picking up odd jobs where they could.  Little Rhodesna made the best of her situation and made lots of friends.  She thought the rogues were funny and mysterious.  They were like her mother times a thousand.  She loved them and every grand tale from a far off land or time that spilled from their lips.  She did everything in her power to learn the ins and outs of this amazing world of the Rogue Alliance.

Early Teens:
Life was becoming relatively stable for Rhodesna but her father was going ever more off the deep end.  Few places would still allow him to work for them.  Their income was slowing down, they needed more work.  Costa discovered a seemingly stable and good paying job aboard King's Fortune, a Rogue ship captained by a very charismatic man named Caspian.  Over a night of drinking with Caspian's crew and other indentured servants that were excited for the opportunity, Costa signed both his and Rhodesna's contracts over to the good captain.

However, Caspian's and his jolly crew's demeanor completely changed once theywere on the open ocean.  They were manipulative and abusive frauds.  Rhodesna, her father, and the other indentured servants basically became slaves of the King's Fortune.

Teens - Young Adult:
For twenty years, Rhodesna and her father are trapped aboard the King's Fortune, and forced to do back breaking work.  Rhodesna becomes resentful of her situation, but still, she makes the best of it and she learns.  She learns about sailing, about the anatomy of the ship, about the ocean and the wind, about navigation, about brawling and navel battles, anything she could get some one to teach her or that she could observe, she learned.  The years made her stronger and she began to earn the respect of the other prisoners and even some of the crew.  The years also brought on more frustration.

She pitied her father more than she resented him.  Where she had grown tougher, he had only grown more empty.  He was only a shell of a man when Rhodesna decided it was time for a mutiny.  She could not take or watch the abuse anymore.

The odds were stacked heavily against the indentured servants who had to fight well practiced pirates.  However, a freak storm caught the entire crew by surprise, giving the mutineers the cover they need to take hold of the ship.  Rhodesna took it upon herself to face Captain Caspian.  After all, she was the most skilled out of all of them.  She fights well, managing to knock the captain's sword out of telekinetic grip but he met her with equal furiosity.  Using a wooden plank broken off the ship, he lands a critical blow to her face.  The wood cuts deep into her skin and she loses consciousness.  It all seemed lost.

But when she awakes, she is amazed to see her father taking on Caspian.  For less than a minute, they fight until Costa pulls them both overboard into the raging sea, so that he can save his daughter with the ultimate sacrifice.
