Nicasia
Man Hunter: A professional skip-tracer, she's made a career out of tracking down people who don't want to be found.
The Once and Future: Born and raised right here in Gray Harbor, though she left right after she graduated from high school. Her old man, Hank Albright, still lives in the area; he retired from the GHPD in 2015 after 30 years of service.
Can't Say No: But also tries to avoid saying yes.
There's a sharpness, an archness, to the sculpt of Nicasia's features; a marble coolness to her complexion; a subtle petulance in the shape of her mouth, usually accentuated by the wearing of burgundy lipstick, a shock contrast to the warm gold-toned ivory of her skin and the darkness of her hair, a note taken from certain fairy tales where someone came to a bad end. That mass of inky hair is perpetually unruly, rarely tamed into lazy waves but more often loosed in tight serpentine coils that lick midway down her back. She's green-eyed, the color more amber than verdant behind a frame of long, thick lashes.

2022-05-03 - The Purple People Eaters
Walking home alone in the dark in a quiet town like Gray Harbor, how bad can it be? As it happens, very bad. For reasons that the Gray Harbor Gazette speculates about on a regular basis (and never get quite right), this town has a two centuries' long history of mysterious disappearances. Once known as the 'Port of Missing Men', Gray Harbor is still a good place to get lost.%r%rOr in Mikaere's case, beaten to a pulp.
Ravn, Gabby, Mikaere, Robin, Nicasia, Myles
