History
Raposas is the child of the caravan leader Garlan and an unknown female who disappeared shortly after giving birth. From birth she was trained in cut-throat trading, caravan management, and other small skills that she might need to know. At the age of eighteen she was granted command of another caravan by Avian Logistics, the company which funded her father's caravan. From this point on very little is known about her, actually a lot is known but most of it is conflicting. The most commonly circulated story involves pirates hijacking the caravan her being fired from the company as well as exiled from the caravan... there is however another history which involves back-ally deals and insurance scams but that one couldn't possibly be true.

One year later, she greased a few palms and ended up attending Echo Flight School despite failing most of the entrance exams. She currently makes her way around the Skylands trading and hunting pirates.

Appearance
Raposas is an arctic fox of average height and is about nineteen. She has white fur and green eyes. Over her milky white shirt she wears a black flight jacket, the flight jacket has notable bounties that she has collected sewn into the right sleeve and an Echo Academy crest sewn onto left sleeve. Although she often dismisses jewelry as frivolous, she wears a silver locket. Since her clothes have no pockets, she wears a pouch on her left side to carry various things that she might need; the pouch is burlap and would be completely unremarkable if not for a custom clasp which depicts a fancier version of the Echo Academy's crest. She makes a point of always wearing pants, even during formal dress parties.

Raided the hospital to get a second outfit: a wide brimmed hat, a long brown trench coat, brown leather gloves, and fur dye. She usually complements this with perfume, a change in posture and movement, and a fake accent.

Currently she wears a black cloak over her normal outfit and has dyed her fur orange.

Plane
Raposas flies an Seahawk/Osprey that she calls Aarondight. It is painted matte-black with no markings of any kind.

Dr. Drake
Dr. Drake accompanies Raposas throughout her travels although she makes a point not to be seen and comes only when called. She wears a loose fitting red shirt and a pair of black pants with the crimson armada's signet sewn onto the right hip. Over this getup she wears a silk bullet proof vest. She is five years older than Raposas

Born Iano Mehitabel daughter to Danash Drake and Tibios of the Mehitabel caravan on the tiny island of Foxburough. She grew up on the Mehitabel caravan although not on the same ship as Raposas. Since Tibios was the ships doctor, Iano spent her days learning medicine, negotiation and self defense (it is worth noting that she completely failed negotiation). Although she was good at medicine her true love lay with the self defense classes required by thoes in the Mehitabel caravan. When she came of age she left the caravan to join the Crimson Armada where served with distinction until she was discharged for reckless behavior, insubordination, and a failure to follow orders during a pirate attack. The parties involved refuse to discuss details. Following her discharge Iano Mehitabel spent the next five years jumping from military to military (and even the occasional pirate force) picking up tricks and experience. After five years she changed her last name to Drake and began referring to herself as a doctor.

Raposas met Dr. Drake while in a pirate bar where Dr. Drake was working as the bouncer (Raposas still refuses to discuss why she was in a pirates bar). When Dr. Drake bounced a few pirates who had one too many grogs that day, Raposas saw her skill and offered her a job that paid nearly triple what Dr. Drake was making at the bar. Dr. Drake accepted immediately.

Dr. Drake works for Raposas as a bodyguard, medic, and an intimidating site that encourages people to give Raposas better deals. Because of Dr. Drake's history she is considered a master in three different martial arts disciplines (the self defense technique taught in the caravan, the martial arts used by Crimson Armada commandos, and a style cobbled together from all of the smaller tricks she learned during her five years of bouncing through armies and bars) on top of her extensive firearm training.

During the storm which swept through skytopia, Dr. Drake took refuge on Manik's skyland. While she was on the skyland a band of pirates also seeking shelter on the island went missing. About the same time, Dr. Drake acquired yet another gun.

After she left the military she made a point of taking rare and unusual guns off of people she has killed. Because of this, she has amassed quite a collection of guns, the only guns she did not acquire through this method are her machine gun and her arm mounted shotgun. It should be noted that she is never without at least one of them. She owns:
 * Eight-shot pepper box pistol
 * Heavy machine gun ripped straight out of a cr4p and modified for soldier use
 * Vierling (two shotgun barrels, two rifle barrels)
 * One shot concealed strap on shotgun that covers the entire arm (given to her by Manik)
 * dirk (has a crimson armada crest etched into the pommel)
 * standard Mehitabel caravan medpack
 * A Lemat revolver, acquired on Manik's skyland

Odds and Ends
Raposas's bag contains:
 * A canteen of water
 * A smaller bottle containing something that supposedly makes her sober again
 * A small notebook and a pencil to compensate for her poor memory
 * Money
 * A folding abacus
 * Jerky
 * A small sewing kit
 * A portable communication radio
 * Four flares
 * Lock picks

Raposas owns two guns: a triple barreled flare gun she stole from her father and a four-shot pepper box pistol she stole from a pirate, she carries one of them with her at all times. In places where guns are forbidden she keeps it out of sight and uses slight of hand to prevent it from being found. She hates her father, pirates, and her mother (in that order) Although she carries a big knife (and conceals her flare gun under the pouch) she has no idea how to fight, in fact if she ever were to get into a fight she would lose. The honor of the caravan is the only thing that she meaningfully swears upon, if she's swearing on anything else chances are she's not being completely sincere about it.

According to her, she has no alcohol tolerance whatsoever and can even grow tipsy from alcohol fumes.
