Born to a Brazilian marine biologist and a Ghanaian sailmaker in Salvador da Bahia, Rafaela charts uncharted reef systems for coastal fishing cooperatives, her dual heritage giving her an ear for both Portuguese sea shanties and Akan proverbs passed down from her father. As a Good Luck Cat she guards the Nazca Lines, her psychokinetic pull over tides granting nearby vessels a temporary boost to cargo capacity, and her skin shimmers faintly with bioluminescent patterns whenever the Astral Bridge stirs.
