While she was doted on by her mother (Shynna), Kembrik saw his only daughter as a liability and worked tirelessly with his oldest son to come up with a method of ridding the family of her without distressing Shynna. It took them seven years, but they finally able to convincingly “lose” the girl.Ratia was abandoned on the fringe station when her family’s ship left. With no one to care for her, the child relied on her inherent charm and sticky fingers to survive. Much to the surprise of the station’s other denizens, she not only survived, but thrived on the dark and seedy lifestyle into which she’d been dropped. Her personality evolved according to her environment, and she became one of the most well-known of the station’s so-called invisible population.As soon as she could convince the docked captains that she was old enough, Ratia began hiring out on short trips as a hired hand. She learned bits and pieces about the ships and trained with the pilots – mostly disguising her desires as ‘youthful curiosity’ – until she learned the ins and outs of flying most of the smaller ships. She continued hiring on short runs for years, sometimes with captains she’s hired to before. Those who knew her and her abilities would allow her to fly or even hire her to sit in for ill or missing pilots or navigators.When she hired with Captain Holger, she expected much of the same – a short run, maybe as an assistant navigator… she wasn’t prepared for the particular involvement he took with his crew. Nor was she prepared for the hands-on expert training she received – apparently out of the blue – from Holger. When he offered her a permanent position on the crew of the Ship of Fools, even she knew that she’d be the real fool if she refused.Ratia is fiercely loyal to Holger and the rest of his crew. When it comes down to it, though, the only reason she’s loyal to the others is because Holger picked them as well.Fast 2 - Charismatic 2 - Starship Navigator 1HP 26; Mas 13; Init +3, Spd 30 ft; Defense 18, touch 18, flatfooted 15 (+3 Dex, +5 class); BAB +2; Grap +3; Atk +3 Melee (1d6+1, weapon) or +5 ranged (1d6+0, weapon); FS 5 ft by 5 ft; Reach 5 ft; SQ ; AL - Capt.
