Musse was the daughter of Calgara on the island of Jaya 400 years ago and she was also considered their most beautiful Shandian woman.

[edit] Personality

Musse did not share her father's hot bloodiness and was very considerate of the well being of others. She went to the alter to protect her people feeling comfort in knowing she would be joining their God. However upon sighting what they believed to be their god, she became very frightened, even freezing when Norland threw her a dagger and told her to run from the alter. His actions to save her life, and later talk between her and his men, made her become one of the first Shandians to believe Norland was a good man. She was also the only one wise enough to actaully go and tell Norland's men why they they were being shunned by the villagers, and in return rushed to tell her father their grave error of judgment towards Norland.

[edit] History

After their dying priest had a 'vision', he declared the only way to stop the "curse" that was plaguing their land was to sacrifice their most beautiful woman. Musse went willing to the altar to save all her people.^[1] Just before their God devoured her, Montblanc Norland appeared and killed the giant snake who tried to convince the Shandians that this plague was curable and not a curse from the gods.

During the time Norland spent trying to find the cure, both her and his men were locked up in cages, she spoke to the men on who their captain was.^[2] After a struggle against time, Norland brought the cure back and the Shandians were saved. Musse now free and knowing the truth, was seen later sobbing in her mothers arms over the events that had happened.

However, her tribe found that their forest which they found sacred has been chopped down by Norland and his men, and they were once again ostracized by the tribe. She later explained to one of Norland's crew as to why the Shandians are treating him this way, and after she learned they cleared the forest because it originated the plague in the village, she quickly rushed to tell the villagers, and they rang the golden bell as hard as they could to inform Norland of their regret, and her father Calgara rushed towards Norland before he and his men set sail to ask for his forgiveness. Three years later, she is married to Seto.
