Character HistoryLife for Malera began on an unusually calm day in the Suvan Sea aboard the main vessel of the Ironconch Pod. While life on the high seas can be quite dangerous, being the daughter of the pod's Lia made it a little safer; the pod's future did ride on her shoulders, after all. You see, a proper matriarchal heir hadn't been born to the pod in a very long time, and with her birth came hope for the next generation. It is said that a Svefra that can't carry their own weight has no place in the pod, and this contradictory behaviour irked Malera, even from a young age. The girl became more that eager to jump into the call of action; risking life and limb to earn her keep. The elders hated her rash behaviour, but Malera would have to follow the rules all the same if she was going to be a fit Lia some day.
As she grew, so too did her family. Many of her brothers departed the pod to help other pods grow. This migration was, in time, actively encouraged in Melara's pod. Right around her 8th birthday, the pod experienced a baby boom. Fertility was at an all time high, even for Svefra standards. This of course meant more mouths to feed, so branching off was helping conserve resources. The more she watched others leave, the more she too wished to leave. As luck would have it, she would get that opportunity. Born to the Lia's eldest son was a pair of girls, opening a window for Malera to leap through into the great unknown. She studied and trained long and hard, and on the eave of her 18th birthday she was given a ship of her own to start her new life. She had always known the life of the Pod and life abroad would be troublesome and dangerous, but she fearlessly set sail to Zeltiva to begin her adventures.
