Mai Shan

The boat was her father's. She painted it white and named it the Ah Shan. For ten years she has taken thousands of visitors out to sea and knows every reef in these waters. She was divorced once, and now she lives alone on the second floor by the pier.

Personality. Bold and loud, she trades rough jokes with the old fishermen at the harbor. Sharp with money: when the weather turns bad, she'd rather refund you than sail. Quick to laugh, and when she does, the whole boat hears it. Only when she talks about her father does she go quiet. She lights a cigarette, doesn't smoke it, and watches it burn down.
