Mari Caster

Mari Caster (20-21 upon arrival to the colonies.)

Backstory
Mari was born on her family’s farm. In there wheat fields. You see, her would-be parents found a strange rock-like egg in their fields. They had no idea how or when it ended up there. They couldn’t just leave the egg alone. It would be taken to who knows where, or worse, die without someone there to care for it. So, they watched over it for the next few months until it hatched. When it did, they were not expecting a baby girl with a reptilian like tail to be born. As strange as she looked, they kept her. Continued to care for her as they were doing before. Where would she have gone if they didn’t? Mari would sooner be killed if she were discovered by the wrong people.

Living on a farm did, however, mean limited interaction with the outside world. Mari was not completely isolated of course. Throughout the years she had made friends with travelers and traders that happen to be passing by the farm. Now Mari technically was not allowed to interact with them all but she really couldn’t help it. Mari knew there was a whole world out there and she wanted to see it all. She just had to wait for her chance.

She was 20 when that chance finally presented itself when word of a ship willing to take passengers to a nation by boat spread to her from some travelers passing by the fields. She could handle her own now. This was the chance she had been waiting for all these years! Her parents, of course, were worried for their dear daughter. They never let her out of their sights for long. Now she wants to go out into the world and travel! They knew it would happen one day. In good conscious, they just can’t keep her on the farm forever, they couldn’t. It’s not what she wanted. The day had come, they had to let their dear daughter go. She said her goodbyes, tears were shed, and she gave them a final wave before heading off. She could hardly contain her excitement once she reached the docks. Mari boarded the boat just in time and made her way to the side railing. She looked out over the endless blue ocean. A mixture of emotions hit her at once. Anxiety, happiness, sadness, wonder for what she would see. Overall, it was thrilling. She was going to finally see where life in the outside world would take her. She couldn’t wait to see what was out there, waiting for her to discover.
