Background
Coming from the land of the seafaring Sea Wolves, Nahctrael spent a long time preparing for a seafaring life, as many in the Northern Empty do. She found herself drawn to the art of crafting and repairing sails. The different stitches required for each part of the sail fascinated her. She began experimenting with fabrics outside of her life as a budding sailor. However, after only two voyages, she could take it no more; ships didn't need a seasick sailor. Giving up on the plan she had for her life, she took one last ocean trip. She got off the boat very green but thrilled to see land. Collecting the last of her coin, she purchased a well-worn but usable sewing kit.Though she had started as a simple sail repairer, her job become a hobby. As she taught herself, the idea of becoming a seamstress became more and more appealing, especially because she seemed lost in life after having discarded her previous path. She started with small jobs, tailoring a hem here, fixing a popped seam there. Her services were cheap, fast, and while she was self-taught, she was also knowledgeable. She yearned for more intricate work, flourishing embroidery and delicate beading became a new passion. Her customer base began to grow as she became known in higher social circles. Her own clothes started to improve as she was able to test more expensive fabrics as well as more intricate stitches. She started to make friends with her clients, being invited to dinner parties and other long nights of revelry. As she became more trusted, her customers started telling her more and more secrets. At first, she thought it idle bragging or letting off steam, but she noticed that some of the wild stories from her clients began to materialize. They were minor things at first, two ladies wearing the same outfit to a social gathering, an expensive vase disappearing from a lord's house, a local maiden seen canoodling with a boy unbecoming of her status. Nahctrael started to listen more carefully. Every word spoken to her was never shared with any other lord or lady, but she gained a near-encyclopedic knowledge of those in her social circle, as well as those outside of it.Her life, while she loved it, offered fewer and fewer challenges. She began to bore of her daily life and the regular pricks of needles was something she wasn't particularly fond of. One afternoon, one of her favorite clients approached her. Nahctrael was ready for an extravagant dress for an upcoming dinner but received something very different. It was a simple request: get some information from a well-off aristocrat. She was offered a goodly sum, which she graciously accepted. While she wasn't in need of the gil, she had all she could ever desire and more, the request intrigued her. She made friends with the daughter of the noblewoman and after gaining a bit of trust extracted the information her patron needed. From then on, she worked for well-to-do families, exchanging secrets and bartering with obscure knowledge while expanding the social capital of both herself and the families she found herself attached herself to. The new profession brought opportunities that she could have never imagined and the confidential information she traded became her lifeblood. She continued to work as a seamstress, though less often. She was able to become pickier about her clients, often approaching prospective clients as a means of information.
