Helena Naway

GM-Info!
Work in progress!
Slightly NSFW!
"The elves in Olena Ora won't just say yes. There will be a lot of haggling for concessions."
  Helena is the newest employee of the Royal Airship Company of Farenia and the first female crew member on an airship. Currently, Titus O'Menzie and Helena Naway are piloting the airship Queen Eleanor, which is reserved for travels of the Queen and her personal guards.   Due to her knowledge about the customs and history of the neighbour kingdoms and the species living there, Helena was the perfect choice for the position as the Captain's Assistant, in which role she has to welcome passengers, answer their questions and handle their problems. During the current voyages, she helps the Queen to prepare when it comes to protocol during negotiations.   GM info / spoilers / plot hooks.

Physical Description

Apparel & Accessories

Mental characteristics

Personal history

As a teenager, Helena has already visited Magramine, Lymyra, Shirki and Han and can speak and also write the languages of these regions. She has experienced the KI Poppers of Han and is an avid fan of the Mei Maiji Dudes.

Education

She has a deep knowledge of the etiquette and the most important history of all countries on the western continent as well as of Shirki and Han. Each time you think you found a blank spot in her knowledge, she comes up with some more amazing details.   Helena has learned how to use the catapults on board Queen Eleanor. They have a "Gnome Workshop Easy Loading System" equipped that allows even weak people like Helena to load them properly.

Employment

She is captain Titus O'Menzie's assistant on board the airship Queen Eleanor.

Failures & Embarrassments

While perfectly calm and controlled with any passengers or customers who might ask about airship related things like departure times or tickets, she gets rather annoyed quite quick when something isn't going along with her wishes or when someone criticizes her. She then stands still, eyes closed, arms on her sides and stomps the ground with one boot while exhaling a moan or a long stretched "Gnnnngh!"

Helena Naway, Bold and Bright
  Through skies so vast, through winds so free,
Upon the Queen's own airship she
Stands tall (or small, if truth be told),
A tale of wit and charm unfolds.
  Her knowledge deep, her tongue so keen,
She knows the ways of kings and queens.
With secrets held behind her smile,
She bends the rules with subtle guile.
  A uniform not meant to be,
A gnome’s old suit - too short, you see!
Yet fate had stitched its thread so tight,
She wore it still - though not in spite.
  For whispers rose from lords in line,
Rich dandies wined, their gazes shined.
Yet Helena, with rolling eyes,
Would rather talk of elves and skies.
  She knows the tongues of lands afar,
The way they dance, the songs they spar.
A bard in heart, though few may know,
Her magic hums with hidden glow.
  And if you cross her, heed this well -
Her patience wears as thin as shell.
One tap, one stomp, a heavy sigh,
And woe to those who meet her eye!
  But loyal, fierce, and full of fire,
With dreams that lift and hopes inspired,
She sails ahead, her fate untold -
Helena Naway, brave and bold!
A world full of wonders.

It is only three airships so far with a crew of two each, so there is still hope for equality!

I love how she is very knowledgeable and is the first female crew member! This is a really great article!
