Saeko bio notes + rough sketch

A little bit of a look into my later finalizing/revising sketch/notes notes for Saeko (some of which also appeared in her character sheet).

Edit: I realize it might be hard to read, so the text says:

Name: [Saeko is blank because it was at the time I scanned this... lol whoops]
Age: Btw 100-125
Hair/eye color: red/green ? [question marks for stuff I was considering]
Type: Nocturnal - finned ventrals - Tamer? -> has a favorite orca? Suiko? [*]
Language: Human speech/understanding
Bio:
    - collector: trades for charms w/ night-going humans
    - will rise to diurnal depths toward sunset for salvaging
    - enjoys conversing with/practicing language with humans
    - snarky and sarcastic as hell
    - prefers her favorite orca friend to most mer, but tolerates Arlan (because similar trouble-making/adventure streak?]
    - she has a shit-ton of waterproofing material/containers

And then there are a bunch of notes pointing out various design details, some of which got changed (like the leather satchel--it made more sense for it to be something from her likely environment, either salvaged rope or twisted kelp like her sarashi). Her expression was supposed to be a raised eyebrow of non-amusement but she just ended up looking sad.

* Now that I'm thinking about it, it could be possible that she runs into a certain pod of orcas all the time, and even though she's not a tamer, eventually this one orca got to be pretty friendly with her. Maybe she shared some cool thing with her, or saved her from a net or something at some point.
