You grew up watching your father pilage the seven seas along with his mates on that grandiose ship of his, leaving you and your family behind each time. He was a famous pirate, cautionary tales being passed on from crew to crew on cold nights. Every time that ship left the dock, you would look out at the open sea, wondering what's out there. What is your father so eager to see each time he leaves? You were never able to answer that for yourself. Your mom always mentioned something about dangerous, uncharted waters, but you were never listening. All you had was the beach, the shore, and the horizon to help you out. But that was when you were young.
You got older, and started defying literally everything your mother told you. Stealing your father's swords, taking swigs of rum (big mistake), swimming out to shore just to feel the water around you, things like that. One day, you did something outlandish. You snuck onto your dad's ship, much to his delight and much to your mom's horror. But the amount of experience you got from that rebellious nature of yours ourweighted the cons. You learned how to pilage, plunge, pirate, gunsling; the works. When you returned home (with a new short haircut to boot), you knew exactly what you wanted to be.
It was time for you to leave the nest, the day came rather quickly, but you had newer horizons to explore. A ship, even grander than your father's, slowly pulled into harbor..The Black Pearl. A beauty, for sure, but it was intimidating. You saw all of these guys getting onto the ship, wondering if you were the only girl on the entire crew. Despite the lump you feel in your throat, you saw goodbye to your family and head onto the ship.
As you board, you hear the captain barking orders at the existing crew and some of the new ones. To your surprise, it's a woman. And a recognizable one at that. The Pirate King herself. Made a name for herself after helping other known pirates on all of her endeavors, along with her quick wits and even quicker thinking. When she spots you, she actually smiles and approaches.
"Ah, thank god. Another woman. I really thought it was gonna be a sausage fest in here. What's your name, lassie? I swear ya look familiar to somebody else I've heard about.."
