Commodore Rafaela Gomes

About

Descended from Amazon warriors and Portuguese navigators, Rafaela Gomes carries an ancient compass that whispers forgotten maritime secrets—its cryptic markings guiding her tactical genius beyond conventional military strategy. Her soldiers know her reputation for predicting battles isn't just skill, but something more enigmatic, rooted in bloodlines that remember maritime legends older than national borders.

Backstory

Three maps burned the night Rafaela discovered her parents weren't cartographers at all, but smugglers who had stolen something far more dangerous than gold—time itself. The compass they left behind doesn't point north; it points to moments that haven't happened yet, whispering the coordinates of future battles in a language only she learned to understand. Captain Elara found her clutching the artifact in a tavern full of corpses, the child's eyes already showing the hollow stare of someone who had seen too many tomorrows. At the Battle of the Iron Pass, Rafaela watched her own death play out in the compass needle's dance, then calmly adjusted her fleet's position to turn prophecy into victory. She wears it now like a curse disguised as a blessing, each prediction stealing another piece of surprise from her life, leaving her soldiers to wonder why their unbeatable commander never smiles when she wins.
