Background
--------------------
It all began so innocently. Upon reaching Port, Azmarella Green decided to get a drink. It had been a long day, along day and the constant bickering amongst the rest of the crew, and the 3 weeks at sea had took it's toll on Azmarella.

Being one of two females on the crew of the "Bearded Devil" didn't make life easy either. Pirates they were, and they were good at what they did. Yet, that didn't stop the sexism and the nasty remarks from the lonely, cranky men. Luckily, their captain Demetri was respected and feared by the crew, and respected the two women himself, for his own reasons anyway. One of which was his own sister Jasmine.

This fact restrained most of the common behavior men display when drunk and rowdy, as the only thing stronger than the desire of these men, were the fear they had for Dimitri. The story of Chase Farrow was a popular and terrifying one amongst the crew. He, drunkenly, decided to grab Jasmine somewhere he wasn't supposed to, and tried to have his way with her. So Captain Dimitri, a fair man by his own estimation, decided to cut off his hand.... and threw the rest of him over board. Dimitri had the hand mounted and displayed for all to see.

Azmarella and Jasmine got on well enough themselves, but this was port! Every man and woman for himself. At least for the night. Anyone who didn't make it back the next day answered to Dimitri. Something you wanted to avoid. With this in mind, Azmarella still went into the tavern, although she doesn't recall the name of the establishment, she does remember the unmistakable smell of sulfur in the air.... It still haunts her to this day.

Azmarella woke up on the Bearded Devil. She didn't remember anything from the night before, save the smell of sulfur. Her body was fatigued, and she had deep scratches on her back that were oncerning indeed.

If it had been a normal human pregnancy, it most likely would have not survived the hard life of the open sea. However, 9 months later, Azmarella gave birth. She took over cooking duties about 6 months in, after Dimitri had learned of her condition. Normally, he might had dropped a pregnant woman off in a random port, or even tossed her overboard if he didn't like her. That would have been the likely scenario had Dimitri not had a strong interest in Azmarella, he decided to offer her the chance to be his wife, and the kid would join his crew. Afterall, it beat drowning or rotting away in a random locale.

Their marriage didn't last long, as when Jeska was born, her mother did not survive the birth. However, to Dimitri's surprise, Jeska came out with tiny horns and a tail. To most people this would be an abhorant site, but to pirates it was nothing at all. Dimitri had heard stories of thiese fiend blooded offspring, and if they were as tough and hardy as the stories suggest, this little one, his new so called "daughter" would prove to be a great addition to his crew.

Jeska grew up taking to life on the boat with ease. She loved to pester the crew, and get into trouble. However, she absolutely hated her "Father". He did everything in his power to control Jeska. He would beat her for talking back, he would take her food rations away for insubordination, he would make her swim alongside the boat for sport. Almost as if he enjoyed pushing her to her limits. She vowed one day she would not only get away, but she would make him pay.

Her chance at freedom came on the eve of Dimitri's birthday, she had gotten her hands on some deadly poison and a fine rum in a Varisian port town, and decided to put it to use. It costed her almost everything she had saved up over the years, but it would be worth it to see Dimitri die right before her eyes. Then she would leave and never return. She had made sure the poison blended well with the rum, and she had no reason to believe her father would suspect a thing.

Unfortunately for Jeska, her father decided to share his rum with his sister, Jasmine. Jasmine took the first drink, and within minutes dropped dead.

Dimitri, filled with rage and hatred, relentlessly attacked Jeska. Thinking he had killed her, he threw her overboard in disgust. Jeska was brought back to health by a kind fisherman, who despite knowing she was a tiefling, took pity on her. Jeska came to and decided to leave the region for good. She would hone her skills and one day return and end Dimitri once and for all.

Personality
--------------------
Jeska is very untrustworthy of men, especially those in power. She is rebellious, and free spirited. She is playful by nature, but does sometimes take it a bit far. Her mouth got her into trouble on numerous occasions growing up, and still does to this day.
