Ashenya Toqare, The Many-Coloured

Chapter 7: The Carnevale

Ashenya Toqare

While the Carnevale have never really had a true leader in the same way as the rest of the ships of the fleet, Ashenya Toqare was the closest they ever came to having a Captain that both spoke for them and seemed to have at least some sort of sway over their actions.

The Carnevale have never shied away from dramatic expression of their emotions, and Ashenya was no different. Shortly after they joined the Fleet, the previous Carnevale Captain, Exxxet, sadly passed away. The two were incredibly close, and Ashenya took no time in making sure that Exxxet would be remembered, carving Exxxet's name in huge letters into the cliffs of the next world the Fleet arrived at. One of the bioships forms a permanent Fleet museum, and it is here that a beautiful memorial to Exxxet, created by Ashenya, remains on display to this day, with Exxxet's body as the centre piece.

Ashenya's success as Captain is largely attributed to their ability to glide effortlessly between conversationally charming and dangerously threatening and back again before anyone had even noticed what had happened. They commanded a level of respect rarely seen among Captains of the Fleet, and even more rarely among Captains of the Carnevale.
