Ochre and Seabreeze are both Tortle fishermen who run the Sacred Scales Fishery in the bustling City of Hojo. They are a well-respected and well-known duo, renowned for their deep knowledge of the sea and their expertise in catching the best and most delicious fish. Despite their success and reputation, it is their infamous bickering that often steals the show at The Port of Pearls, where their marital squabbles can be heard even over the daily commotion of trade.
Ochre is the elder of the two, with a wise and weathered appearance that speaks of a lifetime spent on the open sea. He wears a battered straw hat and a stained blue tunic, his deep, earthy brown skin complemented by a shell covered in intricate patterns etched into its surface over the years. With his steady hand and sharp eyes, Ochre remains a skilled fisherman despite his advancing age, taking great pride in ensuring that all their catches are of the highest quality.
Seabreeze, on the other hand, is known for her fiery temperament and sharp tongue, traits that are often on full display in her lively exchanges with Ochre. She is a fierce and spirited Tortle, always dressed in a colorful tunic that matches her vibrant personality. Her skin is a lighter shade of green, and her shell bears the markings of countless years spent braving the seas. Seabreeze is just as adept as Ochre when it comes to fishing, but her true talent lies in running the business side of the fishery, ensuring that their enterprise remains prosperous and well-regarded.
Their bickering, while humorous to onlookers, is rooted in a deep bond and mutual respect that has seen them through countless storms—both literal and metaphorical. The fishermen who work with them and the traders who frequent the Port of Pearls have grown accustomed to their quarreling, often sharing knowing glances or chuckles as the couple debates everything from the best fishing spots to the proper way to salt a catch. Despite their constant arguments, Ochre and Seabreeze are inseparable, their partnership as strong as the tides they navigate together.
