Just your average person with warmth and humanity pretending to be something devoid of warmth and humanity pretending to be an average person with warmth and humanity. You know as one does. Or, more succinctly from an Expanse point of view, a Holden who thinks she’s an Amos. Sooney Crows – Fish crows from her island home somewhere to the west of the Midlands wherever there is ocean. Notable for their loud calls and their nasty, aggressive dispositions. Not so much a name as a nickname given to a half-feral child who determined it was a useful self-defense mechanism.

Raised in a Brothel – Because all the best adventurers are. Not really sure if she was the predictable cost of doing business or left on the doorstep. Either way, grew up watching a very Game Of Thrones flavor of interactions between the sexes and decided she wanted no part of it. Different strategies employed to prevent this fate: taking on a brash and horrible personality, building muscle, learning to sew, learning to sing, learning to hit dudes. Finally, going to sea on a whaling ship at age 14. She bears a lot of regard and respect for sex workers, and feels, as an adult, somewhat protective of them.

Halberd – Sooney, being really quite strong, all things considered, but not a great sailor, ended up working as a whale butcher. The halberd is really just a modified whaling lance. Sooney worked for a year as a whaler before she came to fully understand that while she was no great fan of humanity, she loved whales, and really did not have the stomach for hurting them anymore. A shit sailor otherwise, she went inland, giving her home island the slip and heading inland. Sooney is looking for money and status, but mostly for protection. Like most people who are not as bad as she styles herself, she hates her conscience, and tries to justify anything good she does with the worst reasons. She hates being in charge and hates being told what to do, and is prone to arguing both sides of a debate just because she’s equally afraid of winning and losing. She’s a mess. An obvious mess, with just enough charisma to hide it sometimes.
