The dedicated leader of the Deepseeker Pod, Crucina is a devout follower of Laviku and strict enforcer of the svefra monopoly on piracy. While she freely accepts all acts of piracy made by the Svefra, she discourages her own pod from doing it and hunts mercilessly all non-svefra who commit such a sacrilege against her god. She inspires her pod and holds them together, and they in turn have great respect for her.
A fearsome warrior in her younger days, she still retains a great level of skill even though her body is beginning to show signs of weariness. As such, she has taken a less active role in her pod's hunting activities these days, though she remains at the helm. Patient and supportive, she is an encouraging mother figure to the entire pod and acts as a matron even for those who are too old to have one. All are welcome in her eyes - except for poaching non-svefra pirate that is.
Biography
Born in the very same pod as Intera, the founder of the Deepseekers, Crucina had followed the older woman as she started the Deepseeker pod from scratch. First to join, she helped Intera through her early days as Lia and supported her once the pod grew. When the respected family leader finally died, Crucina had been deferred the status of Lia by grace of being the eldest female. This was some years after their pod had found the trouble spot in the North Suvan, and though the change from the Deepseekers then to the Deepseekers now was gradual, it sped up notably when Crucina inherited the position of Lia.
Always a tomboyish girl, Crucina grew up brawling and sparring with the boys. Her aggressive nature gave her confidence, and her friend Intera taught her temperance and conservation. This same attitude kept with her well into her adult years, and when the Deepseekers first came across that small spot of fake pirates she was the strongest advocate of rushing in to clean up the infestation. Her first personal endeavor as Lia was to find more fake pirates and mop them up, and though it would be a couple seasons before she actually found some she'd nonetheless changed the pod to become avid hunters of these poaching miscreants.
Open-minded and energetic, her enthusiasm has been tempered with patience provided by her age. She drives her large pod forward through the times, leading with wisdom that has only been attained through years and years of experience. Among the Svefra, she is one of the older Lias, and surprisingly sprightly for her age. Even so, time has taken its toll on her and is forcing her to take a more blanket responsibility for the pod rather than leading them through thick and thin. Her skill with a cutlass is still to be feared.
