____________________
Party Role/Concept
____________________
Nivian is a full Arcane Caster, but as a Witch, she is also quite a capable Healer(Healing Hex, Major Healing Hex, Healers Hand Conduit Feat all in plan.)
In combat, aside from spells, she will try and debuff key targets with Misfortune+Cackle - later adding Fortune and Evil Eye into the mix as needed. That also allows her to pick up some utility or niche spells as she is not as dependent on spells for combat.
Outside Combat, she is fully amphibious - she can stay underwater indefinitely, has a swim speed and a blindsense-ability in water.
On the ship, she will be a skilled Navigator, and capable of filling several needed roles.
Level 0: Arcane Mark, Bleed, Dancing Lights, Daze, Detect Magic, Detect Poison, Guidance, Light, Mending, Message, Putrefy Food and Drink, Read Magic, Resistance, Spark, Stabilize, Touch of Fatigue
Level 1: Touch of the Sea, Color Spray, Unseen Servant, Mage Armor, Undine’s Curse, Marid’s Mastery, Cure Light Wounds, Nereid’s Grace, Sow Thought, Ray of Enfeeblement Level 2: Gust of Wind,

Hydrated Vitality: An undine with this racial trait gains fast healing 2 for 1 round anytime she submerges completely within a body of natural salt water, fresh water, or brackish water. Stagnant, poisoned, or trapped water (such as an artificial pit or a bag of holding) does not activate this ability. The undine can heal up to 2 hit points per level per day with this ability, after which it ceases to function. This racial trait replaces water affinity.(replaces Water Affinity)

Class Abilities
______________________________________________________________
Know Direction (Sp)
So long as she near a sizable body of water (at least a lake with a diameter of 1 mile or more), a sea witch may cast know direction at will as a spell-like ability.
Sea Creature Empathy (Ex)
A sea witch can influence the attitude of water-dwelling animals and animals that live along coasts and shores, including birds, as if using wild empathy. The sea witch uses her witch level as her druid level for this ability. If the sea witch has wild empathy from another class, her witch levels stack with the other class’s levels to determine her wild empathy bonus for these kinds of creatures.
This ability replaces the witch’s 1st-level hex.

=====Traits=====
Campaign:
Ship's Surgeon (Campaign)
On a ship, a sailor often has to learn multiple skills, and this rule certainly applies to you. Your father was a woodworker, and you learned your first trade from him. But on your first voyage at sea you quickly found out that a carpenter is often a ship’s doctor as well—after all, who knows more about sawing off limbs than someone who saws wood for a living? People are a lot bloodier than wood, that’s for sure, but you haven’t had many complaints—those sailors who have enjoyed your services are either happy to be alive or dead, and there’s old salts who swear the peg legs you for made them are better than the real legs they used to have.
You were between ships in Port Peril, and after stopping for a drink at a tavern called the Formidably Maid, you happened upon a damsel in distress in the alleyway outside. Thinking you could help, you didn’t notice the thugs hiding nearby, and they caught you unawares. You’ve been on enough ships to know a press gang by the blow of the sap on the back of your neck—you just hope whatever ship you end up on needs a surgeon. Although the majority of your equipment was taken away when you were press-ganged, you managed to hang on to a fully stocked healer’s kit, and you begin the campaign with it, regardless of your starting circumstances.
Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Craft (carpentry) and Heal checks, and Heal is a class skill for you.
Besmara's Guidance(Religion)
Victim's of Pirate attacks often claim that 'Pirates don't fight fair'. That is one way to cope with the simple fact that said Pirates outwitted a superior opponent. When conventional Wisdom fails, Besmara often helps her believers to help themselves with unconventional solutions.
Benefit: Choose one Profession Skill(=Sailor) and one ability score(=Intelligence) other than Wisdom. You add that ability score’s modifier in addition to your Wisdom modifier on checks with the chosen Profession skill.
Navigator(Regional)
You’ve sailed the treacherous waters of the sea and you can navigate their dangers adroitly.
Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (geography) checks, and a +1 trait bonus on Profession (sailor) checks. One of these skills(=Knowledge geography) becomes a class skill for you.
Seeker(Social)
You are always on the lookout for reward and danger.
Benefits: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, and Perception is always a class skill for you.
Burned Drawback
You were badly burned once by volcanic ash, torch-wielding mobs, or some fiery accident, and the scars pain you terribly you whenever you are too near to fire.
Effect: You take a –1 penalty on saving throws against fire effects.
In addition, whenever you are adjacent to open flames or are on fire, you take a –1 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks until you spend an entire round away from fire. These penalties are not cumulative. (An instantaneous fire effect adjacent to you or affecting you causes this penalty to apply until 1 round after it is gone.)

Physical Description: :
Standing moderately tall for an Undine, with a rather lithe frame and a blueish skin tone and her hair color being similar to her skin's tint.
As most of her kind, she prefers little clothing, so she can easily feel the Ocean all around her. Given her history, though, those outfits are never skimpy or too revealing. Her hair is long, but bound into a kind of tail at three intervalls so it does not interfere underwater.
Aside from the outfit, she carries a crossbow and some bolts on a belt, and a snake that usually hides in her clothing, but wraps itself around her arm threatening to bite attackers if she becomes agitated.
Her face looks uncaring, courtesy of the cold bluish eyes that seem to stare rather than look.
History::
Born more than 60 years ago, she can barely remember her early years. She fondly remembers her family living in a fishing village, with other Undines making up a substantial minority of the hamlet. A simple life, but good enough.
If it were not for the raids. Being a small village of fisherman, they had no soldiers...and those not inclined to follow the law and enjoying mobility on the seas knew well that such small communities could not resist demands.
She knew to stay out of sight, to let them take what they came to take, and stay hidden as her parents thought her. One year, when pirates raided the village, she was down at the river delta with her kid brother, diving for baubles. They only realized their home was under attack when they returned to the village.
She tried to hide, telling her child brother to be calm, but he panicked and ran towards their house, worried about their parents. Sure enough, he was seen, and quickly stopped. When they talked about how he was worthless as a slave, being too young, and someone gave the order to kill him, she left her hiding place and begged for her brothers life.
They tied her up, then killed her brother anyway. She was taken back to the ship, and that night, pirates lined up for a turn until she fell unconscious.
The elvish captain of this ship took an especially cruel interest in the young undine over the next days in which he took her into his own cabin. When his ship run into a riches-ladden merchant vessel, and a traitourus first mate died of unrelated causes(his planned treachery only being revealed after his death), he assumed that the Undine Girl was bringing him luck and decided to keep her.
For countless years, she was locked up in his cabin, or, from time to time, shared among some crew members who distinguished themselves by bravery, as a form of reward.
In the beginning, she would try and fight, but ultimately, she realized that the only difference that would make was the ongoing physical pain from being hit and hurt. So she learned to endure it, even pretend to make them finish faster. Once, she tried to kill herself, but they were not willing to give up their good-luck charm, and all that she had achieved was that she was tied up for several months after that attempt. She also gave birth to 2 children, both of which were taken from her.
One day, while the captain and a large part of his crew were following a lead on an inland expedition, another pirate who set the whole thing up raided the ship, dispatching the few defenders and grabbing the valuable cargo it was carrying. When his man came upon the cage in the captains cabin that held her, they were at a loss of words. She was freed, and taken aboard. This Captain, while also being a pirate, and a daredevil, was nothing like the other. He was educated, charming and even somewhat kind. They had offered to take her somewhere, but she had no home any more. How could she return and continue her life like nothing had happened? Aimless and lost, she stayed on the ship, using what skills in navigation she had learned to help, and aiming to repay the captains kindness...but the only favor he wanted was for her to sing to him. Over several month, they eventually became a couple.
But only a few month later, her history caught up to her. The other captain, furious on being made a fool of, had tracked down her now-lover and, with a superior ship and more numerous crew, forced battle upon them, using aid of magic to prevent the smaller faster vessel from escaping. When they had boarded the ship and he stormed into their quarters, realizing who she was, anger overtook him. In a duel, he slew her lover, then gave his man the order to hurry and take the valuable and burn down the whole ship. Having said that, he locked her in the cabin, stating that "her luck seems to have run dry", making her of no further use to him.
The ship went up in flames around her, and she resigned herself to die next to her former saviour. But as fate wills it, the structural damage the ship had sustained during battle and the fire were too much, and parts of its structure broke. She fell, and ended up in the water. For most races, that would still have spelled doom, but she was able to survive easy enough. She swam to a nearby island, where she spent a long time just crying and questioning her life. Eventually, she set her mind to revenge. One person had ruined everything for her. She would be his undoing, by some means. It was then that the deep ones thought it right to contact her, and their messanger came to her to become her familiar. She knew she was a tool in the hands of beings beyond her understanding, but if their goals aligned, she'd be an eager tool. Having had no other purpose left, she pledged herself to this goal and servitude to the powers that would make it possible.
Over the next few months, she tried to track down leads, and had been working on a number of ships travelling from port to port. Eventually, she ended up here...
Personality: :
Aside from a short yet happy childhood, she experienced countless years of abuse and cruelty.
Her captors had made a sport of making people betray loved ones to seemingly save themselves. It never worked, but seeing what cowardice drove weak-willed people to do disgusted her. Seeing what cruelty drove strong people to do angered her.
As far as she is concerned, with fewest exceptions, people are not worth the water that is bound in their bodies.
She also suffered greatly in her life, and never received quarter. So she's not willing to grant it, either. She saw too many people cheat and lie to be lulled by fancy words.
All in all, she is chaotic neutral. She does not enjoys cruelty or evil deeds - that would make her no better than the people she hates, but she barely remembers whats "normal" any more, and does not have a lot of empathy for others. To her, it's a dog-eat-dog world out there. If something happens to you, you had it coming. She's cold and somewhat distant, uncaring, mostly to protect herself, because she lost or was taken from everybody she cared for.
Regardless, she knows she has no good chance to take her nemesis on alone. She will focus on being a team player, on supporting, her ship, its crew, her allies. She will not easily accept aid herself, though, and what she does for them, ultimately she does for herself hoping they eventually run into her quarry and having a somewhat trustworthy and experienced group of people with her for the occasion.
