"Allegiance is easily bought."

probably yxylirans (but skin is too dark to see any reddish hue)

has a nasty scar on her face.
her family had been deceivingly normal --
a father, a mother, and an older sister.
however, her mother was an executive in a gang
and her sister was slated to inherit her position.
she learned early on in her childhood that loyalty is cheap
when her sister betrayed the family for a rival gang
who offered all the money her family's gang possessed.
(or maybe the authorities? also for money.)
in order to survive, she offers herself to the leader of the rival gang.
this is when she is branded, as proof of ownership.
her scar is on the right side because M is left handed.

relationship with Kilyan is testy
just because of their personalities and the nature of their positions.
Kilyan is fiercely loyal to those he deems worthy 
and also requires his job as a pirate to be shrouded in secrecy
(to avois being taken advantage of by authorities and other pirates).
Xyrra is an informant who will sell any secret for the right price.

founded Wakarial.

but Xyrra broke off and used existing network to communicate information.
did this because she noticed the demand for accurate, quick communcation
and information about events in her area,
so she expanded the existing network to be able to provide.
largely based in Anthegol, Kirboda, and concentrated in Kirboda
(but also a few key placements in surrounding nations).
