Origin
Childhood
As the notorious pirate lord Oscar Osoro's first child, Haide's youth was spent at sea aboard the Osos Dorados fleet. She was raised in the House Osoro's way: cruelly. No mistakes were tolerated. She was forced to participate in horrible pirate raids on innocent villages.
"No confías en nadie. No debes nada. Nunca arrepentes." Translation: Trust no one. Owe nothing. Never regret. - House of Osoro motto
However, Haide had a stubborn streak of innate thoughtfulness that no brutality could quash. In raids, she would often let peasants escape when she could do so without tipping off her father. At times, she would push back against her father when he ordered terroristic attacks of no strategic importance. Naturally, these efforts were always poorly received, leading Oscar to declare Haide a failure and an unworthy successor.
Growing up, Haide always felt more at home with the regular men of the fleet than the elite. Several of the pirates would look out for her and protect her from Oscar when they could, and she considered them her older brothers and uncles.
When her younger sister, Eztli, was born, Haide endeavored to shield her from their harsh life and father. However, there was little that could be done.
Lost Memories
To prove they were worthy of leading her own fleet, Oscar sent Haide and Eztli to destroy an unarmed vessel of refugees in the Gold Sea. It was a test that would result in hundreds of deaths and serve no strategic purpose. Initially, Haide refused, but under threat of death, she went. She sent Eztli to the East Continent protect her from the carnage and then moved to take the vessel.
However, things did not go according to plan. There was a powerful magical artifact on board. That, coupled with Haide's own hesitancy, resulted in a fierce battle. Haide's ship was destroyed in a magical shockwave. She washed up on the coast of Golden Farrow in Tol Goldora with no recollection of her life before.
Interactions
Character
Haide's mischief-causing frequently gets her in hot water. She never learned how to navigate polite society and can come across as irreverent (sometimes intentionally). When she is comfortable, she has an acute sense of humor and child-like delight with the world. She's terrible at keeping secrets and doesn't trust authority.
She has a visceral fear of failure, rejection, and being perceived as weak. From this stems her self-declared distain for titles, politics, and power games. Even though she worries it's a character defect, she cares deeply for people. In particular, she feels a strong impulse to protect the people she loves or perceives as innocent, even to the detriment of herself.
While she used to be able to stay calm and collected in overwhelming situations, since recovering her memories, she's prone to episodes of dissociation.
Appearance
Haide has a petite (5'1") but athletic build and many visible scars, particularly on her back. She's prone to fidgeting with anything she can get her hands on and thus usually clasps her hands behind her back when trying to appear in control.
As is typical of Osoros, her eyes are light grey-brown and her hair is dark and unruly with several small braids throughout. Her skin is deeply tanned and freckled from life at sea and she has several piercings in each ear. She only wears black, dark brown, and dark green and typically dresses fairly "masculine," unlike her little sister.
