Cuviera was born to a family of crooks and ne'er-do-wells. They robbed ships between the continents of Risla and Divelinson. Her father taught her and her siblings the art of “shadow swimming”, being able to teleport through the shadows to gain the upper hand in fights as well as the upper hand in stealing items.
She loved the life and loved their ill gotten gains more than anything. Anything that glittered she claimed for her own. She would get into fights with her siblings when it was time to split the loot. She hoarded her treasure and would bite off the fingers of anyone who touched it, earning her name, “The Little Sea Dragon”.
As she got older, she broke off from her family and ventured on land. She also quickly learned peoples’ distaste for people of her ilk. But her drive for the finer things pushed her to get in with the underground. She couldn’t get by on looks, lacking the conventional pretty face, but made up for it in aggression and muscle. This deemed her valuable in the eyes of the mobs and gangs of the area and she found steady work as a mob enforcer, with swaying loyalties. Anyone who paid the highest got her business.
When she wasn’t working, she was enjoying the finer things, good wine, good food, cute men, and all of the fancy things money could buy her. She moved into a small sunken ship right off of the coast of Risla (mainly to protect herself from enemies) and hoarded her loot there. Her boathouse is protected by her pet tiger shark “Don” and her bull shark “Mugsy”.
Things did take a turn when she was double crossed by a spiteful rival. She was jailed and for a time, thought she was going to rot there for the rest of her life…. until the order came. They bailed her out and explained they saw her potential in being an asset to the group. Cuviera, being skeptical, didn’t buy it and figured there was a catch, but when offered a healthy sum of cash, she decided to question them later.
She took the jobs given and got to enjoy the good life once again. Her loyalties to the order are the strongest she’s ever had to an organization, her being grateful for them getting her out. But her greed has always been her greatest vice and some wonder if her loyalty is as strong as she claims, or if she’s just biding her time until someone can offer her a bigger payout.
