Gifford Neema

Gifford Neema is a pirate and the navigator of the Azure Pirates. She is the third member of the crew and the second to join. She is of a wealthy background, her father being a prominent steel magnate within her hometown. An educated girl, she was taught cartography extensively in school and quickly became fascinated with the outside world. Similar to her captain, she began to yearn for a life on the sea and planned to set sail. After meeting Drystan and Makani, who were in dire need of a ship, she managed to enlist their help in winning one from a local mobster in a gambling match, also hurling the crew into their first major battle against an enemy.

In combat situations, similar to Kenny, Neema does not typically serve as a combatant with her role being support. However, she has proven to be a skilled martial artist with a talent for kick boxing. Although she isn't exactly capable of tackling stronger opponents, she can easily hold her own in battle if needed to. During the day-to-day interactions of the crew, Neema can be found mediating disputes between the captain and his first mate.
