Physical Description
Ralynn is a sleek-furred brown rabbit with striking amber eyes that seem to always be searching the horizon. Her fur has been lightened by the sun in places, giving her a somewhat weathered appearance despite her youth. She keeps her ears tied back with a sailor's bandana while on duty. Her agile frame belies significant strength developed from years of climbing rigging and handling heavy sails. Several small scars mark her paws from learning the hard way about proper rope handling. She typically wears practical naval attire, though she's added personal modifications with pockets for small keepsakes from her voyages.
Personality
Ralynn exudes boundless enthusiasm for naval life and adventure. Her naturally boisterous demeanor makes her popular among crewmates, though some find her energy exhausting. She approaches new situations with genuine curiosity and openness, especially toward different species – a rarity in the historically speciesist Imperium. Her idealism sometimes clouds her judgment of more cynical or manipulative individuals.
When faced with challenges, Ralynn displays remarkable determination and work ethic, attacking problems head-on rather than shying away. She maintains a cheerful disposition even during difficult times, though this sometimes masks homesickness and guilt about leaving her family behind.

History
Born under the waning moon of harvest, Emily Cabbagepatch's first breaths were filled with the salty air of Alton Bay. From her earliest days, the young hare's heart beat in rhythm with the gentle lapping of waves against weathered docks. While her family toiled in the dusty fields of their modest cabbage farm, Emily's gaze was ever drawn to the horizon, where mighty ships cut through the mist like phantoms from another world.
As seasons turned and Emily grew, so too did her fascination with the sea. The docks of Alton Bay became her second home, a place where she'd linger long after her chores were done. There, amidst the bustle of sailors and merchants, she found a world far removed from the quiet simplicity of farm life. Emily drank in tales of far-off lands and daring adventures, her imagination set aflame by each word.
It was on one such day, as autumn leaves danced on the breeze, that fate steered Emily's course. A grizzled stoat, uniform torn and bloodied, stumbled from the woods near her family's burrow. Where others might have fled, Emily's heart swelled with compassion. With gentle paws and kind words, she tended to the sailor's wounds, listening intently as he spun yarns of life at sea.
This encounter shattered Emily's preconceptions about "vermin," revealing a world where friendship knew no species. The stoat's gruff exterior belied a heart of gold, and in his gratitude, he gifted Emily something far more precious than gold: a glimpse into the life she yearned for.
As Emily blossomed into a young adult, the call of the sea grew too loud to ignore. With heavy heart but determined spirit, she bid farewell to the only home she'd known. The name Emily Cabbagepatch was left behind with the tilled fields and wore-down plows. In its place stood Ralynn Waverunner, a hare with stars in her eyes and salt in her veins.
Ralynn's early days in the Imperial Navy were a whirlwind of new experiences. Her enthusiasm and quick wit endeared her to crew mates, while her agility and keen senses made her a natural in the rigging. Though guilt gnawed at her for leaving her family behind, each pouch of coins sent home eased the burden somewhat.
Now, with a few voyages under her belt, Ralynn stands as a testament to the power of dreams. Her boisterous laugh rings out across the deck, a stark contrast to the quiet farmgirl she once was. Yet in quiet moments, as she gazes at the stars from the crow's nest, Emily Cabbagepatch whispers a prayer of thanks to the wind that carried her here.
