History:
     Nautia was born and raised in Zora Village, Labrynna. As a child she didn't have much as in terms of friends but she didn't mind either. When she wasn't playing with the friends she had, Nautia was making jewelry with the various items she could gather in the ocean (IE: shells and coral). Occasionally she'd find magic rings out in the Zora Seas while looking around for materials which she'd collect. Eventually she started traveling up into Lynna City where she'd meet the residents and sell rings she'd found. Her first meeting with land dwellers as a child was strange given she didn't know anything but the tokay and mermaids at the time. She related humans to land versions of a mermaid. Nautia was actually fascinated by the residents of the village and loved seeing the outfits they wore. As a zora she had no need for an outfit, but she loved the idea enough to try and learn how to make clothes.

     Over the years she'd been constantly visiting the human population as well as travelers coming and going from other parts of the world. Nautia was able to learn clothes crafting well enough to be considered a sort of tailor. Many people were happy with the things she made, even if they weren't anything extravagant. After some time she decided to leave Labrynna and head for a new land. Nautia headed off to Hyrule considering some zora she'd met had come from there. Once she made it to Hyrule, Nautia thought to take residence in Zora's Domain, not entirely understanding just how different Hyrulean zora were. All she knew was that she had to have a place to stay and that Zora's Domain was the equivalent to the Zora Village in the seas.

     The Domain had a retired tailor that made special garments for land-dwellers. Seeing an interest, Nautia visited them and tried to learn what she could, saying she was interested in continuing the business. It took a bit of convincing but she got them to teach her. It was rough to learn new techniques and Nautia often was hard on herself over her failures, but she wanted to keep going. Given her determination and will, Nautia was able to improve and become a relatively decent tailor. The zora teaching her eventually stopped when they had nothing left to teach.

     It's been a few years now since her teachings have come to an end. Nautia's obsession with improving led her to become even more efficient and she's been able to open up a shop. She will travel around Hyrule and offer her services and products to those willing to buy. Materials don't come cheap, however, so she can be a bit pricey. Nautia will always bargain with people, however, and she accepts trades as long as profit can be made. Since she opened her business it's not been too terribly successful but Nautia's been able to stay in business with what business she gets. You may see this Labrynnian zora roaming around Hyrule's trading towns when she's not in Zora's Domain.

YEP. I thought it went hand in hand with her profession. Besides, the zora have to get their jewelry from somewhere, right? |D

I just had to go with the purple. XD It makes her stand out in comparison to the other NPCs because she's the only entirely purple zora. And the frilliest for now. <3 I wanted a sort of fancy theme for her because of who she is. \o/

It's kind of hilarious that I had no intention of putting the skirt on when I started. I literally just drew it on because I didn't want to fix the lines of the base. XD But I don't think I regret the idea in the end. /o/ Goes great with her profession in mind.
