Physical Description
Kinza Rainclaw has her father’s copper fur but with her mother’s black muzzle and ears as well as her green eyes. She has a scar on her left shoulder from age 16 when she went out looking for trouble and was lucky not to lose mobility in the muscle from a spear wound. She wears a black and gold bandanna to keep her headfur in check and has a fondness for wearing shirts and practical waistcoats.
Inventory and Real Estate
A small coded box containing a modest but not wealthy sum of gilders and a small button taken from her father’s old coat that displays an insignia of the Golden Hide.
A cutlass.
A few clothes, a sewing kit, and travelling rations.

Personality
Kinza is a scrappy and determined woman whose only loyalty is to herself and her family. She is fiercely protective of her younger brother, who is the only thing more important to her than her own ambition. She somewhat resents that her parents abandoned life in the Imperium for their retirement, particularly that they faked their deaths and left behind vast wealth and estates she could have enjoyed, and is intent on achieving the heights of status her parents did, however impossible that may be. There might be a softer heart at her core than she would care to admit.
Strengths
Kinza is reasonably skilled with swords after lessons from her parents. She is practised in cunning and some aspects of manipulation. Her steady paws and keen eyes lend to her needlework, which was how she earnt most of her money trading on the island she grew up on. She is independent and capable, fairly adept at survival from island life. Her pleasant singing voice has earned her the nickname 'Ditty' as a contraction of her middle name, which she uses as a pseudonym on the occasions she chooses to sing in public.
Weaknesses
Her ambition blinds her occasionally to threats. While she has learnt from her father how to network to achieve greatness, she lacks his patience. Her beauty makes up for some of this, but does not allow her as much success. Kinza's left arm is not as strong as her right after her injury so she has a disadvantage with unarmed combat against stronger opponents, knowing only some basic self-defence. It is difficult for Kinza to make friends as she distrusts other beasts from the stories she has heard, and yet she craves the excitement and adventure of the Imperium. She is also inexperienced in the ways of the Imperium after growing up in a relatively peaceful existence. Kinza is a terrible cook except when camping. She is also abominable at romance, considering her parents did not get together through a conventional courtship and she met so few other beasts where she lived.
History
Kinza Dittany "Ditty" Rainclaw was born in 1738 to parents Tanya (Rainblade) Keltoi and Jeshal the Ironclaw on the archipelago island of Kutoroka. She enjoyed a fairly peaceful childhood in an island paradise, learning how to forage and fish from an early age as well as how to help protect her family in the event of trouble. Her family traded with the natives and with passing ships, her mother an engineer and father turned fisherman and smuggler after their retirement from the Imperium. Tanya (“Tox”) had once been the Admiral of the Imperium fleet among other titles whilst her father had once been the Minister of Commerce and captain of the Golden Hide.
With few options of others to play with as her older half-siblings tended to keep to themselves, Kinza spent most of her time with her little brother, whom she guarded from all threats except herself. She could be a bit of a bully in their earlier years, controlling (name’s) activities and irritable at being a middle child, but she was often put in her place by their parents and learnt to turn her more vicious sides towards anyone untrustworthy beyond their family.
As she grew, Kinza took interest in learning swordplay and sailing. Though her parents did not want her to face the trials they had, she remained curious about the Imperium and enchanted by the adventurous lives her parents had led. During her childhood they discouraged her from seeking such a life and as a late teen she made her living sewing for locals and traders along with helping the family businesses. Frustrated with remaining on the archipelago, especially once her elder siblings had left, and so infrequently being able to meet other beasts her own age, when Kinza was 16 she sailed out on a dinghy to another nearish shore with Lorcan and stumbled across a group of camped pirates. She made her first kill that day but received a wound to her shoulder that forever slightly weakened her left arm. They were rescued by their parents and she bit back her lust for venturing out again for a few more years until she was sure she would be ready.
At 26, Kinza finally set sail for the Imperium along with her younger brother, seeking their fortunes, keen to enlist in the Navy as per their legacy.
