Isaya The Siren

Description

A notable figure in Iktalan history, Isaya was feared across the Sapphire Sea between Mytar and Kitan. She was a plague upon the trade business between the then small Mytar and the already well established Kitan Empire. Isaya was born in Southern Kitan shortly after the Civil War had ended and the empire split in two halves. Isaya was less interested in becoming an artist or mother as expected of her, and instead spent her childhood on the shores, watching sailors and slowly learning how the craft. She stowed away on a ship in her teenage years, hoping to travel somewhere new. The captain found her, and threw her overboard in the middle of the Shimmering Sea. The Gods took pity on her, and Lyvia sent a pod of sirens (a traditionally aggressive species) to carry her to the nearest island. Stranded still, Isaya lived on the island for well over five years before she was rescued by an explorer, none other than Eyu Ut Wa herself. While Eyu was honest with her identity, being Waynar's Chosen, the pair kept it a secret from anyone else they ever met. After a few negative encounters with the Kitan Navy, Isaya decided to become a pirate and it didn't take much convincing for Eyu to agree, wanting to get some sort of vengeance on Yenar even after his ascension. Isaya proved a clever pirate and Eyu designed powerful ships for her. It was Isaya's idea to use weak looking ships to lure in naval ships or rivals looking for an easy score, only to reveal they were well armed and well equipped. In less than three years Isaya had earned the nickname of "The Siren" for her deceptive tactics, and it was believed that no siren would even bother her fleet of ships. Few that crossed her survived longer than a moon. She and Eyu grew close over the years, eventually becoming lovers. Eventually Isaya retired, returning to the island she'd been stranded on decades ago and building a home for herself there where she lived out the rest of her days with Eyu, who moved on only after her death.
