About Longhaired Nori

Born with an oddly twisted tail that impairs her swimming but helps with slithering about on dry land, Nori was quick to abandon her roots at a young age, spending much of her time exploring shorelines, and crawling onto the docks of of coastal cities. Her sensibilities being somewhat twisted as well, she soon developed a fair bit of interest, sometimes romantic, in the humans she encountered, and even moreso with their food and drink, making frequent habits of slithering into taverns and telling mostly invented tales of the dangers lurking beneath the waves to intrigue the patrons and keep the grog flowing.

Eventually, this spilled into a habit of cutting deals with sea captains, wherein she would help read the currents, scrape parasites from the hull, and warn of any hidden reefs in exchange for passage and a modest pay, taking advantage of the safer and speedier travel a ship could provide, and the readier supplies of food and rum.
