Bio:
Yakub Zastani was a talented man, and it showed when he came to the small island country of Tunis. He was a charismatic orator and religious expert, and it was in large part through these talents that he made his first steps in converting Tunis -- but one of the things that really propelled the Cult of the Creator to dominance in Tunis was the man's talent for organization and religious leadership; Yakub created five churches directly in Tunis (the Churches of the Word), and these remain the five most important religious institutions on the island, built both to serve as centers of the Cult of the Creator (obviously) and to facilitate some of the astronomic interests of the locals, which Yakub did not find it difficult to fold into his efforts at expanding the religion in Tunis.

For years, Yakub administrated these churches himself, but as they grew and as he himself grew older and less capable of performing the herculean task he'd set out for himself, he bequeathed each church one by one to various followers of his, who became nobles in their own right through these properties. One such follower was a man named Giovanni, who was given the third of Yakub's churches, the Church of the Third Word (or, in the local language, la Chiesa della Terza Parola), creating the noble line of Abategiovanni (a last name first taken by his son) and granting to his descendants not otherwise landed the last name of Abategiovanni della Chiesa della Terza Parola through the combination of noble line and land title.

One of the descendants of Giovanni is Feliciano Abategiovanni della Chiesa della Terza Parola -- but he is unlanded, as he's the fifth son of the current, elderly holder of the title and rather out of the line of succession. But that always suited him just fine, as Feliciano always held a desire to sail and to travel, and with the laxity and resources that his position provided him, Feliciano started plying a life as a merchant. When he figured out an ideal route between the Silver Coast and Shari-Val (taking advantage of the relative recency of its current situation), using his homeland of Tunis as a stopping point and a source of pearls, Feliciano became extremely, incredibly rich, selling gold and jewelry from the Silver Coast to the Lowlands and to Shari-Val, and selling in turn alchemic inventions from Shari-Val to the Silver Coast. With this route, and boosted by his noble status, Feliciano became one of the most prominent merchants of the eastern seas.

But not all in life turned out well for Feliciano. During some of his younger days on the seas, Feliciano fell into a passionate romance with a woman on the shores of the Silver Coast, and the whirlwind love that followed produced a baby -- named Giuseppina. But Feliciano's lover decided that she could not handle the strange, paradoxical life that Feliciano lived -- utterly awash with luxury items and wealth, but forced to live a hardy life in many respects simply due to the realities of running a ship constantly sailing from port to port with little time to stay beyond what is strictly necessary. Feliciano was heartbroken, but at least left with his daughter -- and since he decided that she was going to be his only daughter (being something of a melodramatic man), Feliciano absolutely doted on his daughter, committing a great deal of himself to raising his only child.

Ultimately, Giuseppina gained a great, great many things from this. She learned the arts of commerce and history and nobility, becoming highly educated in Zorestria, its ways, and its tales, as well as in costs and negotiations and trades, and just what was expected at noble events. (In a strange quirk that Feliciano ultimately decided to pay no mind to, no manner of education could ever seem to remove a pervasive superstitiousness from her, which caused her to compulsively carry a great number of lucky gems and charms on her at all times outside of her room.) She grew up with frankly an excessive amount of wealth and a status that, even if it was someone marked by the fact that she was technically a bastard, born out of wedlock, was still a noble status, especially as there was no contention for landed titles and as Feliciano had long legitimized her. And, finally, as even noble merchants must be careful of pirates, she was taught how to fight and how to use the axe, in a surprisingly thorough combat education that Feliciano had actually learned through experience in his earliest days.

Giuseppina is a very well-educated girl in a fantastic position with a very loving parent, but these same things refracted upon themselves, in a way, to produce a deep, yawning insecurity within Giuseppina. She began to worry in her teenage years that everything she had she owed purely to her father and not really to herself at all, and the glimmers of truth in this statement caused this insecurity to grow and grow, turning the girl extremely reticent and shy -- especially because her bastard status was just another tool that she could ultimately use to doubt herself. Giuseppina became, for all her talents, a very tremulous girl, and terrified to the core that she was inherently going to be useless on her own.

This drove her to beg her father to find her a way to go out into the world and prove herself, and though Feliciano balked initially at the idea of allowing his daughter into danger, he never was able to resist his daughter's wishes for long. The need for a crew for Aliberti to perform his little journeys presented an opportunity, and Feliciano pulled strings to get Giuseppina placed into this group. And, well... as it turns out, when you're a noble, an impressively capable man, and, oh, one of the unambiguously richest men on the eastern seas, you can pull a lot of god damn strings.
