Appearance
Short and athletic, Sanne keeps her hair cut short, and is usually seen in the uniform of a Lyrandar Captain, with rapier on one hip. Her most distinctive feature, though, is the Lesser Mark of Storm on her left shoulder, wrapping into her neck and back.
Personality
Ambitious and enthusiastic, Sanne's temperment is well-suitied to a Windwright Captain. She's not quite as willing to risk all for glory and gold as she projects, but she does enjoy a challenge.
Background:
Sanne Bacher d'Lyranadar was born at House Lyranader's home base of Stormhome, off the coast of Aundair to two traders who worked out of the House's Wind Galleons. Sanne dreamed of working in the sky, of captaining one of the rare airships, and when she manifested the Mark of Storm, she was sure that she could make her dream come true.
And she has. From an apprentice voyage on a wind galleon nearly thirty years ago to her first appointment as an airship officer to first mate, and then the captaincy of the regular House fleet vessel
Lyrandar's Pride. And then to the next to last step to a ship of her own -- Windwright Captain of
Stormrider.
When House Medani had begun to look for an airship to take their expedition to Xen'drik, they quickly realized that for all their brashness, no regular Lyrandar captain would take the job. Sure, the payoff could be great, but it sounded like a very high-risk operation. Which was exactly what the House maintained its Windwright Captains for. She'd set
Stormrider on its way to Sharn within hours of learning of the job.
Combat and tactics:
A lifetime on ships and airships has given Sanne a lot of experience with acrobatic manuevering; she usually covers a lot of ground in a fight, taking any openings for ripostes that she sees. If she expects a fight, she'll use her minor artificer skills to enhance her rapier and/or her armor beforehand.

Mechanics from Eberron rulebooks...
From the
Explorer's Handbook, the
Windwright Captain prestige class (link is to the PrC in the Explorer's Handbook excerpt on WotC's web site)
From
Dragonmarked, the Storm's Riposte feat.
Prerequisite: Any Mark of Storm
Benefit: You can spend 1 action point as an immediate action to make a melee attack against an opponent that has just made a melee attack against you. If your riposte succeeds, you deal an extra 1d6 points of electricty damage or sonic damage (your choice) in addition to normal damage for the attack.
If you have a lesser Mark of Storm, the energy damage from your riposte increases to 2d6. If you have a greater Mark of Storm or a Siberys Mark of Storm, the energy damage increases to 3d6.
. I was thinking more the "white" necromancer route, "It's for research, really!" I was going to be LN as an alignment to fit that role. Ehh I guess I've been watching to much of the show Dexter, which kinda inspired the idea. But if it is to tough of a sell, I can certainly stick with the Knight idea.
