Appearance: Blood Dimmed Tides stands close to 8 feet tall with sea green skin and long white hair in the classical image of the Lintha in the Old Empire. She keeps her long hair braided in asymmetrical patterns. The clothing she tends to wear is not very modest in what it covers though it is brightly colored and patterned. The tattoo's she bears are complex and cover more of her skin than most other Lunars with the moonsilver becoming tarnished and smeared with colors.

History: Despite her age Tides has relatively little experience than others of her age. She was born during the waning years of the Solar Deliberative into a proud Lintha family in Refuge. Little to her knowledge the machinations of two Solar Exalted had converged. A Lunar was murdered, his celestial exaltation freed. Directed by the Solar towards Refuge to seek out a Lintha host. It was during this time that the woman who Tides once was, had started her rites of adulthood. A great beast was released by the Solar Exalted as it attacked the ships her family were using at that time. Fighting against all odds for her own survival and that of her families she was Exalted as a Lunar.

It was then that her Solar mate came for her and took her away from the only home she has ever known. Already bordering on Infernalism the Solar taught her much about Creation and of Prison of the Exiles. Most interesting to her was the fate of Kimbery the Great Mother. It was during her studies that the Usurpation happened and she abandoned her Solar Mate. Escaping into the greatest depths of the ocean she found a passage into Malfeas and the seas of Kimbery. There she offered herself to the Great Mother and was remade into Blood Dimmed Tides.

After the Investiture of Infernal Glory, Blood Dimmed Tides prowled the endless oceans of Kimbery in an effort to become the perfect sea predator. She hunted anything that swam in those depths. Learning from that which she couldn't eat at that time. Her knowledge of the oceans and the life they supported grew tremendously and at times Kimbery sent her into a deep hibernation to keep that primal hunter subdued until needed. She slept for centuries at a time her dreams filled with images of the hunt until at last the call was received for her to awaken and make ready.

Placed in charge of a young coven of Infernal Exalted to both captain and helm the vessel Covenant of the Mother at the order of Kimbery and the architects of the Reclamation. It is through the Akuma that the Yozi watch their newest soldiers. Though her Urge compels her to hunt the other has her see to the welfare of the emergent Lintha nation.
