Johanna Lothston

Appearance and Character
Johanna sports the vivid auburn hair of her father and eyes that mimic the golden sunset that she enjoys sailing upon. She is slender and cat-like, with curves like the sea. On her ship, she wears leathers and trousers befit a captain. On land, her body is wrapped in dresses that are influenced by the city and fashions she is in. Occasionally, she will witness the courts of the Free Cities, where her gowns become more  exuberant in all forms of colors. Rings wrap around every finger, gold and silver and jewels from far off lands and are momentos of her travels.

Johanna's tongue is silver like her coin. She loves to talk and loves to command an audience, whenever she can. Of course, it is difficult to be listened to when you are an exiled Westerosi house and a slaver. She enjoys flirting with men of higher stations than her but never lets on what exactly she does. Depending on the setting, she may even give her moniker, the name Orina. In the wrong hands, knowing that the Lothstons and Rogares participate in slaving, could be dangerous. At least that is what she believed. Only her closest customers, the ones who keep coming back for more know of her true parentage.

Johanna wants nothing more in life than to climb up the social ladder. She wants to be a lady of the court or even one day: a wife of a magister.

History
Born to Marc Lothston and Maella Rogare in 398AC, she is the youngest child and only daughter of the Lothstons of Lys. Her birth was nothing of note, but the couple had a sigh of relief when both of their children lived through the Lothston curse. Johanna was a daring young child, always up to some sort of mischief and chaos. While other girls played in the shallow pools of Lys, Johanna jumped off of walls and used sticks as swords, fighting with her older brother. She was not very coordinated with her toy sword, but the life of fighting was more alluring than sitting in courts and being a true lady.

The Flowering Bat
As she entered her teenage years, she attracted the eyes of most men. She was a wild beauty, untamed and unattainable by man. She was taught how to sail by the crew of her father's ship and accompanied the trades starting when she was fourteen. Her brother Harren was not interested in the family business, so it was up to Johanna to take charge. And when she did, it was as if she was a natural. Of course, she did not get to see much of the action from aboard the ship, surrounded by her father's closest friends.

Lost at Sea
During the Year of the Knives, Marc and Maella were killed in an attack and their children were left to pick up the pieces. The crew of the Sun-Swallower made it back, albiet barely, and Harren stepped away from the slaving business, leaving Johanna to take over. It was difficult, because of never truly experiencing a slave trade. But with her father's crew, she was quickly brought to speed. But she was not ready yet. For a few years, her father's second-in-command ran the business, until Johanna hit her seventeenth name day.

Coast to Coast
When she became captain, she went coast to coast for exotic beauties and skilled warriors. She bounced, city to city, placing her name in the mouth of some of the more underground groups. Her name, which would be synonymous with slaving. She was able to see the cities that her father used to tell her stories about and soon began to sell her goods herself. The Lothston curse had seemed to end with her, the unfortunate events from her family's past now replaced with what could be glory.
