Seeing in her the innocence and youth she herself lost. It’ll make her quite protective of the little princess, I think. I think that, as far as first meetings go, they would meet later once the campaign has already started. Perhaps the little rascal got into some trouble which may or may not have been of her own making and has Sheena and crew come to her defense.<br/><br/><strong>Lexxie Mercy</strong><br/>I’ll be honest, I don’t really know what to make of Lexxie after puzzling together her history. She seems sweet and aloof and will likely find Sheena being kind to her, lest she steal from her. :P<br/>Being more of a science girl herself I think there might be a fun dynamic between Sheena and Lexxie where the former doesn’t quite believe in the kind of<em>alternative care</em>Lexxie practices, but feels she can at least relax other members of the crew. I’m not sure how their meeting would play out, but I image Lexxie finds her way onto the ship for an extended period, for one reason or another, and ends up staying.<br/><br/><strong>Rairaku</strong><br/>It might be fun if these two met each other before. Perhaps Sheena found Rairaku on the island she was living on at the end of her history whilst passing through. Rairaku could have been mistaking Sheena for prey with her fluffy tails and hunted her for a time. Perhaps hunger and frustration drove her into a frenzy. Sheena’s intuition and agility allowed her to stay ahead and prepare for a confrontation in an open spot. There the two faced off, with Sheena immediately realizing that she was severely outclassed when she saw the strength and fighting skill of the Oni. She avoided blows and kept her distance, trying to reason with the red hulk to little avail. Using her Dancing Lights she managed to confuse Rairaku enough to create an opening and have her overbalance on a wild swing at the illusions, causing her to strike herself which perhaps knocked her out of that frenzy. Sheena is quick to try and diffuse the situation by offering to share her provision and assure she didn’t mean to trespass. There’s no way for her to win the fight, and Rairaku proved too persistent to keep running from.<br/><br/>Now calm, the two can talk and clear up their misunderstanding. Rairaku seems the type to quickly laugh at the silliness of it all, completely disregarding the fact Sheena was actually fighting for her life. :P<br/>They share Sheena’s food and Rairaku’s drink and do introductions. Depending on how long Rairaku has been on the island since her escape the pair could have a run-in with some of those “Black Clad Conquerers” and be forced to fight together. Rairaku opens the way and Sheena distracts them with her lights, creating an opportunity for the pair to escape. Sheena could have a small sailboat with which she’s been hopping from island to island in South Blue and offers to take Rairaku off the island if she wants.<br/><br/><strong>Nero Nehil</strong><br/>I think that Sheena will take an instant liking to Nero as he’ll remind her of her father in many ways. Large, proud, dedicated to his mission and a force to be reckoned with. If they haven’t already met beforehand then I’m sure Nero is exactly the kind of man Sheena would want to have on her ship by the time she’s actively recruiting. I feel like we might be able to work out an earlier meeting though. Haven them already be traveling companions with him escorting her, or accompanying her for a time, while on his quest to prove himself and that he’ll end up sticking with her once it becomes clear there is a crew forming around her and that she wants him to be a part of it. Wat denk jij, Koekje? ;)<br/><br/><strong>Taiga</strong><br/>Taiga seems like the kind of boy/man Sheena would take a shining to. Or the girl in her would, which might actually lead her to act a little standoff-ish towards him. She’s a mature woman now who needs to be taken seriously. She’s got no time for silly girl thoughts, and will probably focus on his usefulness to the crew instead. They could have met before, but I don’t think they would have traveled together just yet. Perhaps they meet again at Baterilla and get to talking more? In which case we should think about how their first meeting went. Alternatively, I can actually see Taiga having met and traveling with Reina already.<br/><br/><strong>Kyra</strong><br/>Okay, this character concept is so out there, but I love it. I love the feeling of tender melancholy I get from her which she has wrapped in this package of lust and joy. She’s in many ways more of a spirit or apparition than a real person. If you want, we can have her and Sheena meet a while before the story begins and travel together for some time. Before there was even the idea of forming a crew. In fact, perhaps it was Lyra who encouraged Sheena that she should think of starting her own crew, that she could be a great captain, and Sheena in turn would promise that one of the crew’s goals would be to find and liberate Lyra. If that’s the case we should talk a bit more about what the characters would know of each other. Both of them hide their true natures behind their carefully crafted demeanors and it could be interesting if they knew about each other while supporting their “acts” as it were.<br/><br/><strong>Reina Furlock</strong><br/>Sheena would likely respect Reina and admire her skill. She would want someone like her on her ship to help keep things organized. Sheena knows and understands, and craves discipline, but she might not be the best at keeping it. To be really honest I can see Reina as a wonderful first-mate as well. Perhaps something to discuss with Kingmaster? I don’t think there’s a need for Reina and Sheena to have met before. They can meet during the RP and I’m sure we’ll find a way to get the two wanting to work with each other.<br/><br/><strong>Rexile Soto</strong><br/>I can see Rexile initially getting on board out of a necessity for her skills. A bit of an odd person Sheena wouldn’t immediately trust, but would be intrigued by. Over time I image that Rexile will become a sort of a confidante to Sheena. Someone she often talks to and discusses ideas and directions with because she values the woman’s opinion and takes her insights into consideration before plotting new courses and making important decisions. The probably won’t have met before the campaign begins, but it is certainly possible.<br/>
