Karaya

Karaya was an asur sailor who served on the Eagle of Lothern. Seen as the prettiest of the ship's crew by Tyrion, Karaya first meet the prince and his brother when they sailed from Cothique to the Phoenix Court in Lothern. She was not the only one aboard who Tyrion caught staring at him, nor the first whom he had wooed, the sixteen year old prince having a habit of breaking hearts - though claiming it never his intention.

After days aboard the ship, Tyrion would catch Karaya eavesdropping on conversations, and realize she was not as shy as she was making herself out to be. Indeed, it was Karaya who would teach Tyrion the terminology and anatomy of ships, the two asur spending much time in the crow's nest together as she regaled him with tales of her adventures at sea. Karaya would also be the one to explain why everyone stared at Tyrion; the prince's face looking just like that of Aenarion's statue in Lothern. The same could not be said of Teclis, whom she paused upon seeing, then walked away from, unable to meet his gaze.
