Notable Traits
Being a Shifter of Tiger ascendance, their hair is bright orange with white roots and they are a little more hairy than the average human. Their face bears tiger like markings, unique to them and their hands are clawed -which they use for sewing.
Ezra is often seen sewing either to patch up clothes or to make their own garnments which explains why they're the member of the crew with the most extensive wardrobe. They are almost always impeccably dressed and enjoy wearing a bit of jewelry.
When shifted, they are slighlty taller and more lean, which allows them to move faster.
After their first night in Ko'Shar, they noticed that they bonded with the desert sand, becoming a Swarmkeeper Ranger. It usually takes the shape of a long snake crawling on them under their clothes. They decided to call it Baaloo.
Trivia
Although they're not particularly skilled at it, they enjoy dancing a lot, especially to Fyllion's songs.
They are well versed in trading and will always be able to help pick out the best stores to sell loot at.
Once, Santiago left a square of silk branded with the Saree logo. Ezra dropped the handkerchief immediately, deeming it trash, which is highly unsual for them.
In Koh'Shar, Akrum mentioned that Aashvi Saree, Ezra's mother, betrayed the crown and ran away.
They have repeatedly been called a "weaver"...
Rumors
- They can patch up any piece of clothing. (amongst crew and fellow pirates)
- They’re very skilled to spot and identify ships on the horizon. (likewise)
- They grew up in the jungle, adopted by a family of tigers, that’s why they’re untameable! (everywhere)
Backstory
They served on a merchant ship under the orders of Captain Morgan. They do not speak of their time on the ship but will happily curse at the man himself.
They joined the crew of the Young Kraken about ten years ago, when they asked "Is your captain good to you?" after a boarding. Ezra was the first to shout "He's worth less than the shit that comes out of his ass!". They've lead a happy pirate life since then, slowly accepting the crew as their new family. They're very loyal to any crew member and especially to Captain Magpie.
They learned shibari from the guy on the Kraken that taught them to tie ropes.

- Ezra bought a pair of Earrings of Message in Koh'Shar.
- They picked up Simeon's poison dagger in Koh'Shar
- They also carry the party's flying carpet
A Kharkhorin fairytale
Written by Meinhart, as a birthday present for Ecchima
Since time immemorial, tiger meemaws have told their grandkids this fairytale about their bright and shifty ancestor.
Once upon a time, when the gods still walked the earth, in the mystical land of Lyndoria, nestled deep within a dense forest, there lived a young shifter named Solange. Though young and inexperienced, she was a kind-hearted and clever soul, blessed with the ability to shift between her human form and the mighty tiger at will.
One fateful day, a mischievous trickster known as Rumplebriskin, whose cunning ways were the stuff of legends, wandered into the lands of Lyndoria. She reveled in causing chaos in Lyndoria, fooling villagers and kings alike. Her greatest delight involved convincing others to dance till they dropped. As for her darker pleasures, none who met her, lived to tell those tales.
The moon shone brightly in the night sky as Solange was sitting outside her cottage, reading by the flickering fire. Suddenly, she heard a soft voice behind her. "Greetings, young werewolf," said Rumplebriskin with a wicked grin.
Solange turned around to find the trickster standing before her, her green eyes twinkling with mischief. "What brings you here, Rumplebriskin?" she asked calmly, concealing her apprehension.
"Oh, just seeking some entertainment," she replied. "I hear you have a rather fascinating ability to transform into a mighty tiger. Impressive indeed."
Solange nodded, keeping her wits about her. "It is a gift I treasure," she said. "But why have you come here?"
Rumplesbriskin leaned closer and whispered, "I have a challenge for you, young one. If you can outsmart me in three games of riddles and wits, I promise to leave Lyndoria forever. But if I win, you must surrender your dual form to me, losing your power forever."
Solange hesitated, knowing the stakes were high, but she finally agreed to the challenge, for she could not bear to see Rumplebriskin's mischief continue.
The first game began, and graciously Rumplebriskin allowed Solange to go first. She asked, “what is so fragile that saying its name breaks it”? With a smirk, Rumplebriskin leaned closer & whispered “Silence”.
Next, Rumplebriskin posed a complex riddle: “How many stars are there in the sky”? Solange pondered it for a moment and cleverly shifted into her tiger form. With her claws, she sheared a small patch of fur from her forearm: “See here, there are as many stars in the sky as there are hairs in my fur. I've shorn this patch to match the number exactly, you can count them to be sure”. The trickster laughed in surprise and delight.
Now it was the final round, and with a smile, Solange addressed the trickster, "I have a riddle for you, Rumplebriskin. What is it that you possess but cannot take, and I have but cannot give?"
Rumplebriskin's eyes widened, her brow furrowing with confusion. She pondered for what felt like an eternity before conceding defeat. "I... I do not know," she mumbled.
Solange beamed, "The answer is a second chance."
