Despite her meager upbringings, she found a way to enjoy anything and everything she wanted. Even if that meant she had to do some seedy work to get it. In fact, her life has always been one sly adventure after another. Cheeky and smart, she knows when to go with the flow and when to fight.

She is passion; she is fire; she is that wild girl all wrapped up in a lovely package.<br/><br/>She embraces life and tends to not let the bad hold her back.

She'd run off with him after falling in love with the dashing captain. Leaving behind her life of luxury and trading it in for one of adventure. Their story was meant to be a wild but happy one, unfortunately, fate had other plans.<br/><br/>Lillian died during childbirth, leaving behind a beautiful baby girl and a very unsure father. Now, most would think that Dorian would give the child up. But he couldn't stand the idea of parting from her. This is how Chiana's very unorthodox upbringing began. You can only imagine the mayhem, confusion and utter hilarity that ensued throughout the following years. And though she never got to know her mother, Chiana loved the family she'd gained from the crew. It allowed her to grow up on the sea, playing in the rigging, learning to steal and fight with the best of them. She grew up learning all the worst habits a young lady could have. But what do you expect after being raised on a pirate ship?<br/><br/>But the rug was suddenly pulled out from under her when the ship got trapped in a freak storm. It tossed the ship around as if it were nothing but a dingy in a hurricane. That was all that Chiana recalls before waking up in the middle of the ocean floating on pieces of the ship. That day she'd lost everything, and for a short moment, she was content to give up as well. But it seemed the gods had other plans for her, as the Esperanza finally came upon her and pulled Chiana from her fate.<br/><br/>Chiana took the next several weeks at sea to heal, both mentally and physically. She also gotten to know the woman and the small crew that saved her life. Sharing her story Chiana found that they had heard of her father and his crew. And though some did not share her hope that they were alive, they agreed to allow her to stay. After all, she was a well-trained sailor with a collection of other useful skills.
