Your character's race and ancestry are inspired by the maenad. The maenad are described as a human-like race of sea-dwelling people, defined by their extreme emotions and culture of self-control. In the World of the Ledge, we distinguish race and culture so that no one race belongs to a single culture and no culture is composed of only one race. In other words, you have the freedom to change aspects of the race or culture to whatever you want. Perhaps you were a member of a tribe of sea-faring people, whose members include the maenad among other races. I've put your first language as Mataori-Dari as a placeholder name for your people.
