ARE THEY GOOD AT THEIR ROLE?
most of the time, yes! tapioca is a good captain and good to the crew on the ship. aside from some reckless actions, she's trying her best to make the best decisions.

tapioca is very tall, standing at 5'10" (177cm) in height. she has long, brunette hair that falls in waves past her shoulders and her eyes are a bluish-green hue. WIP

PERSONALITY
tapioca is the kind of person who loves herself a good challenge. she takes charge of situations whenever she sees the open opportunity to do so. when it comes to taking charge of things, tapioca is commanding yet at the same time she's lenient and calm. she's understanding and helpful, not the kind to leave someone in the dirt and proceed to walk away. tapioca is pretty extraverted and usually pretty chill with anything, it usually takes a lot to get under her skin.

HISTORY/BACKSTORY


HOW DID THEY BECOME A CREWMEMBER?

how tapioca got the dragon's ghost is a little bit of a mystery and is met with various stories. stories like her finding it abandoned, the ship being given to her, and even to her borrowing the ship from somebody else. who knows.

she sure does! in fact, tapioca likes to tell tales of how she allegedly saw sea serpents and ghosts to the crew, some classic tales to tell at night.

sÉbastien renaud
the first mate of the dragon's ghost
nickname(s) bastien, bast(ard)
age twenty-nine
gender male
pronouns he/him
sexuality bisexual biromantic
birthday may eleventh
role first mate
is he good at his role? quite. being the first mate comes as easy to him as simply taking a breath of ocean air; he understands when to take orders and when to give them. however, bastien may take the position too seriously, but that has always been in overcompensation. he tries harder than he needs to, but he feels like he needs to throw some seriousness at the crew against the captain's laid-back nature.

body modifications & scars two piercings in his right ear, both gold in nature. a fading scar above his right eye that shaved a portion of his eyebrow away. a tattoo on the right side of his ribcage that he let tapioca give him when they were younger. various cuts and bruises across his body at any given time.

appearance conventionally attractive for a pirate. he's taller than average, standing about five-foot-nine without his boots on. he’s lean, yet toned, with the general physique of a sword dancer. his chocolate brown hair waves and curls in the salty ocean air, keep tucked away behind his ears or underneath his hat. his eyes match the skies during a storm, a blue-grey that's both fierce and bewitching. his skin is tanned and blotched from many long years underneath the burning sun. a well-trimmed beard rests upon his chin, with an impressive mustache upon his upper lip. his wardrobe reveals just how vain he can be.

personality grim and rough-edged, ever serious in the face of the chaotic world of piracy. bastien is a solemn figure, despite his frequent use of his dry sense of humor. he always seems generally displeased, known to keep his arms crossed as often as he's awake. he's impatient with questions and judgemental of those not knowing what he deems to be common knowledge. he may be more lenient with new crew, but he’ll tear right into anyone who’s sailed with him for years. his eyebrows are always furrowed, and his glare could be deadly. however, bastien isn’t cold and indifferent. he can enjoy himself as much of the rest of them, whether that’s joining the crew for a drink, recounting a tale from his past, or leading the ship in a song. it just seems he tends to overcompensate for something. he believes he needs to act as the voice of reason against the captain's impulsiveness, though he’ll do very little to dissuade her from her ways.

he comes across as hard to please, but he really puts up more of a front than he means. despite his gruff nature, bastien has always been a part of the dragon's ghost. oh, he'll never not be protective of his captain and his crew. he's said many a time that he would die for them, and he's meant that with every fiber of his being.

don't mistake his solemnity for complacency; the man's known for being quite sharp-witted and crafty. sure, he may disagree with a reckless plan, but that doesn't mean he won't contribute towards its fruition. he enjoys a daring escapade more than he lets on; he is a pirate, after all.

historical a baby, born to forgotten parents. a boy, raised upon the sea. a man, sailing to find his destiny. the story of sébastien renaud is the most common pirate tale known to man. not that he'll let the world know that. he's told so many stories that even he's taken to believing some as his own truth.

how did he become a crewmember? through his history with the captain. years ago, they were crew together upon the same ship. throughout their adventures, she’d grown to trust the man enough to ask him to be her second-in-command when she got her hands upon her own vessel.

does he believe in sea monsters? contrary to his attitude, bastien can't deny his faith in the creatures of the deep. he's been sailing for far too long to assume otherwise.

likes elegant clothing, colorful jewels, sailing, swords
dislikes stupid questions, seagulls, heights
fears swimming in deep waters

facts
— any question regarding his past before the dragon’s ghost is always answered with a grandiose story that may or may not be true. this also applies to explanations of how he has learned every skill he knows. he may be a bit of a pathological liar.

— his tell has always been pulling on his left ear, happens when he’s lying or anxious.

— his name may show his french (or french-equivalent nation) heritage, but there would be no way to tell beyond that. he hasn’t returned to his homeland in more than a decade, and his accent has almost faded away to nothing. he can speak broken french (or french-equivalent language), but barely enough to carry a conversation anymore. (lmao i have no idea where this takes place)

— he’s got a lovely singing voice in the tenor range, and he’s learned a great deal of ship shanties and other such songs over the years. he sings to himself while he’s working on the ship, but if he’s caught in a good enough mood, he’ll lead the crew in a song or two.

— he’s left-handed, which is not ideal in this state of the world. many have accused him of being in legion with the devil over the years. as a child, he was forced to use his right hand since the left was so unclean, but the lashings he accrued never quite made an impression enough for him to listen.

— he definitely knows how to read. he absolutely does not pretend to understand the written word, nor does he try to pass it off to one of the crew so they can "read aloud for the rest of them.” just delegating duties as the first mate, as it were.

faceclaim








Tilda doesn’t exactly fit the beauty standards of her age. However, that’s not to say she doesn’t posses a unique prettiness. Her skin is rather dark and she has a lean but boxy and not exactly elegant figure. She is a good 5.6 (170 cm) and has eyes the color of bitter chocolate and matching straight hair that reaches her shoulders but is usually kept in a low ponytail. Her eyebrows are defined and she’s got full lips. Her most recognizable characteristic is the sprinkle of moles she has across her cheeks and nose. Her lips are full and round-ish and she’s got a button nose with a slight bump.




notes






psyche



Caring




empathetic




hard-working




witty




understanding




reticent




obsinate






Matilda is what one could call a chameleon. She is very adaptive and gets along with pretty much everybody despite her not being a people pleaser. However, she loves helping others and has a strong passion for medicine. When sad or angry she doesn’t enjoy sharing her emotions and is generally closed off when it comes to negative feelings, sometimes letting others know that something is wrong by being indifferent and abrupt, in contrast to her usual caring and sympathetic nature. And if the individuals who have disappointed her ask whether something isn’t quite right, she’s going to shoot them a typical “I’m fine” and leave them pondering what they did wrong. People close to her can make her open up to them regarding her emotions but that can’t be achieved without effort. If Matilda gets emotionally overwhelmed for a long time, she will inevitably explode in bursts of yells or tears when the smallest thing happens.

Mat identifies as an ambivert seeing that she loves the company of others but she also needs personal time to recharge her social batteries. And while she is usually calm and collected- partly because she is too tired from treating patients and studying to actually have energy- she can be bubbly and has a sarcastic and fun sense of humor.

As far as adventure goes, Matilda would always be up for action. Because she doesn’t get bored easily, one might assume the opposite, however the woman could never say no to the occasional rush of adrenaline she experiences when her and the crew get tangled up in escapades.

background



Early years



Matilda grew up in a family of five, having an older brother , William and an eldest sister, Katherine. Tilda was born when Katherine was 10 and William was 8. She was an accidental pregnancy since her parents, George and Evangeline Grawsome, two English peasants, belonged in the lower class and barely supported their family, so another mouth to feed was anything but a pleasant surprise for the couple. Still, though, they tried to love their youngest daughter as they had loved their other two kids but they were old and couldn’t offer much. George worked as a farmer resulting in never having much time to spend with Mat seeing that he worked at the fields the whole day and when he returned home he was too tired to do anything other than have dinner and go to bed. Evangeline was an assistant at a bakery and was busy at work for the majority of the day. When she came back she spent a little time with Mat, teaching her to sew and knit but Evangeline was an old woman with cardiovascular problems and couldn’t give Matilda the things a young child needed. None of the two parents took Matilda with them at work since they thought she would be a burden and also because if they needed some aid they would ask either William who was physically stronger or Katherine, the more experienced girl.

Mat grew up rather lonely, not really having kids her age around her neighborhood to play with and was educated only because her mom’s cousin was a teacher. Matilda was forced to spend lots of time at home either by herself or William who wasn’t exactly the ideal type of friend for a little girl and Katherine who was ultimately indifferent to both her siblings. That was, until she met Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, or Lizzie as Matilda called her, was a girl a year younger than her that moved next to them when Mat was 9. They immediately stuck together and became best friends, spending loads of time together considering that Elizabeth’s parents were just as busy as her friend’s, her dad specifically was a doctor and only returned home to sleep. One day, when both of Elizabeth’s parents were at work, Matilda went to her friend’s house and came across Lizzie’s dad’s collection of medicine tomes. Intrigued, Mat asked Elizabeth to borrow one of the books and Lizzie gave it to her, confirming that her dad never used them. That was when Matilda first got in touch with her current profession. She immediately fell in love with the concept of medicine, helping others fight diseases and heal wounds. The girl herself was never really given help so the idea of her being able to offer it to other people greatly appealed to her. From that day, she intensely studied the books of her neighbour, learning basic medicine all by herself. She even searched for wounded animals to practice on and was ecstatic when she managed to successfully treat one.


Young adulthood



She had managed to finish five tomes when Elizabeth’s dad passed away. He had been mugged and beaten to death when he tried to defend himself. Lizzie’s mother, unable to support their property on her own, decided to move to Elizabeth’s grandmother’s house. The two friends poured whole rivers of tears when they learnt the news and would refuse to leave each other’s side, both of them begging Lizzie’s mother to stay. But at last, they left. Matilda was 14 at the time. However, Elizabeth had given her her father’s books and now all Matilda did, apart from the usual house chores and feeling depressed because of the loss of her friend, was study. She had learnt by heart all of the 13 tomes by the time she was 19. Her parents both passed away from pneumonia they got on their way back from a trip. Even though sad, Matilda was glad to be able to start her own life and not be expected to get married and have children, something that sounded anything but appealing to her. She was given occupation as a nurse by a doctor that had been impressed by her skills but refused to promote her to a real doctor just because she was a woman. Disappointed, but unable to find work in her field anywhere else, she worked at that position for two years until she heard that members for a pirate crew were wanted. The concept of her being able to work without discrimination, meet a new family and travel the world attracted her greatly. She asked to be given the position of medic, and Tapioca gave her the job.






ADDITIONAL INFO









-Matilda has two piercings on each ear lobe and also has a septum ring on her nose. She usually wears silver simple hoops but might occasionally change it up to something more intricate. If somebody on the ship wants a piercing they go straight to her. She bears no tattoos since she hasn’t found anything important enough for her to engrave in her skin.
-Has scars on her knees from falling while playing as a child and also a scar on her right forearm where she‘d got burnt from a still-burning pot.
-her singing voice is horrible and everybody and Mat herself knows it
-she’s great at sewing and knitting
-she has no idea how or why but has brilliant aim and is very good with a gun in spite of her disliking fights
-fiddles with her hair when anxious
-always stands with her back perfectly straight
-speaks in a generally low voicetone
-Cracks the joints of her fingers very often

Role

Body Modifications/scars
ears pierced.
a snake bite on her inner wrist.​


appearance
Lena stands at 5 foot 5 inches with a slender build. Her hips are wider than her waist, giving her a flattering feminine figure. Born in the small Azara household, Syrena Valené Azara is the daughter of a Persian and Muslim trader, Farhid Shah Azara and an Italian/French singer, Odette Miltiades. Her paler skin with hints of olive is an ode to her mother and her long, thick, black mane is an ode to her father. Her features are delicate and beautiful--large, almond-shaped hazel eyes with high cheekbones and full lips.​


personality
Syrena Valené Azara is an extremely brilliant and intelligent soul. She can be playful at times when she is comfortable and when she opens up, she can be extremely funny. However, she is usually more reserved and tends to observe and analyze situations before participating. She has a heart of gold and will help anyone in need if she has the means to do so and she has the courage of a warrior. It is this courage and heart of gold that landed her on this ship in the first place. With her quick wit and clever tongue, she is well adept at getting out of tricky situations. She can be quite charming when she wants and has a beautiful voice, which she tends to hide for the most part. She can be described as kind, smart, shy, and graceful by people that do not know her well. By those that are closer to her, she can be described as witty, funny, adventurous, intelligent, and kind-hearted.​


backstory and how she came to be a part of the crew
Syrena Valené Azara was born to a Persian trader, Farhid Shah Azara, and an italian/french Singer, Odette Miltiades. Her mother died from sickness when Lena was very young, about 3 years old. Lena has no strong memory of her mother other than her beautiful voice and the sadness that took over her father for the first few years following Odette's death. Whenever her father would leave to go on his voyages and trades, Lena would always find herself begging to go with him, enticed by the sea and her imagination of it. Of course, the sea was no place for a small child and she was left under the care of his brother and sister-in-law. Growing up near a port meant she grew up in a town populated with sailors, navy men, and the occasional pirates. Her uncle served as the town's best doctor and was constantly kept busy, as there were always brawls and injuries between the ruffians of the sea. Since her uncle and aunt had no children of their own, she was treated as their child and was taken very well care of. Lena served as her uncle's assistant, learning all about medicine and surgery from him. Her aunt was a skilled herbologist and taught Lena the arts of herbology and even some botany. By the time Lena was seventeen years old, she was working alongside her uncle and helping care for the ill and injured. It was quite odd at first, as women never took on such a 'masculine' role and were confined to their 'womanly' duties but the town trusted Doctor Azara well, as he was one of the best, and they quickly accepted Lena's new role. When Lena was nineteen, her father returned from a year-long journey quite sick and ill. He had developed an incurable disease while overseas and as hard as Lena and her uncle tried, they could not save Farhid Azara. She was twenty when he finally passed away, and she was devastated as he had spent the last two years of his life in pain and illness. His death inspired her to continue research into sea-borne diseases and pathogens and she discovered that her father died from what would later be known as scurvy. When she presented that the remedy for such an ailment was to consume certain fruit and vegetables, she was laughed at and shunned. Even her own uncle did not believe in her solution, but when one of the crew members of The Dragon's Ghost was brought to her uncle's clinic, Lena immediately recognized the illness. Her uncle tried everything but seemed to be falling short in saving them until Lena stepped forward and fed the crew member a special-made concoction for two days straight. She ended up saving their life. Though her uncle insisted and told everyone that Lena was the hero, he was still given all the credit for discovering a new remedy for the sea-borne illness, for the sole reason that he was the 'man of the household'. Upset and annoyed, Lena was just about ready to give up medicine until she was approached by The Dragon's Ghost to serve as their medic. It felt like fate--her entire childhood she dreamed to be at sea and now she was given the chance to explore her childhood dream while also saving the lives of those at sea. It gave her a warm sense of comfort knowing that no one would suffer the fate of her father.​

─────────
my spirit is free and so is my mind
─────────────


do they believe in sea monsters
Lena is not sure. She believes in mermaids, but that is because her father always joked that her mother was a mermaid since he had found her castaway at sea and since she had a beautiful voice. She is not sure if she believes in all of the myths and legends, but she is quite interested in learning about them and writing about them in her journal. Part of her hopes that the myths and legends are true.​


likes
reading, writing, poetry, fencing, herbology, medicine, learning, swimming, exploring, journaling, singing (when she is alone), candles, lavender, roses, challenges, family.​


dislikes
misogyny, rudeness, excessive violence, snakes, fire, extreme heat, ignorance, people that make fun of literature or education, being told no or that she cannot do something.​


fears
snakes, fire.​


fun facts
1) She is a skilled fighter due to her extensive fencing training.
2) Her uncle and aunt were very rich, giving her access to the best education.
3) She was bit by a snake when she was four years old, giving her a fear of snakes and a crescent moon-shaped scar on her right wrist.
4) She journals and is in the process of writing her own book.
5) She keeps a detailed log of her crew member's medical records.
6) She wants to travel the world and learn about the different ways of medicine in different cultures and areas.
7) She's low-key kind of scared of most pirates and thinks a lot of them smell bad.​

VISAGE
Name: Nagase Miyu
Nickname(s): Miyu
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/They
Sexuality: Pansexual but hasn't quite figured it out yet
Birthday: October 19th
Role: The Royal
Are they good at their Role?: No they're terrible at being a princess they're on a goddamn pirate's ship rn

APPEARANCE
Body Modifications/Scars:
Earlobe piercings but she'd like more.
Appearance Description: Miyu is about 5'2" in height with a slim physique. Being from a rich upbringing, she does eat better than the average citizen, but most of that is sugar as their mother liked to show off with expensive candies and fruits. She has pale skin with lots of freckles, with dainty hands and feet as she's never really had to work with her hands. She has long, brown, slightly wavy hair.
Faceclaim:
Serena Motola
Voiceclaim: Shoko Nishimiya - Koe no Katachi

PSYCHE
Personality:
Miyu was trained to be quiet and polite in order to impress suitors and this is still her default with new people. She was taught to hate her voice as her speech changed when she became deaf so she doesn't like speaking to new people in fear or being ridiculed. Her real personality is much more laid back. Though she is still reluctant to speak at times, she's still much more outspoken with people she knows well. She loves a party, especially when the music is super loud so she can feel the vibrations. She loves to dance, but not in the strict choreographed way her mother taught her. She likes to move freely to music and the vibrations she feels. She's very caring, especially towards animals. She'd rescue every stray she saw if she could.

traits

Likes: Fruit, dresses, horse riding, adventure, loud music, animals, spices
Dislikes: Jewelry, bland food, coffee, large crowds, singing
Fears: Her mother, dying alone, stick insects

headcannons

The first time Miyu ever had an alcoholic drink was with the crew.
Her family owned many horses, but her favourite was Potato. He had a much fancier name but she nicknamed him Potato as he was shorter and rounder than the others.
Despite loving her life with the crew, she really misses Potato.
Although she has implied many times that Potato is a gorgeous stallion, he is infact a Japanese Miniature Horse, but he's a gorgeous stallion in her eyes.
She has tried to smuggle stray cats onto the ship on multiple occassions. Her justification is they can just go fishing to feed them.
She's pretty much always barefoot on the ship which is probably a bad idea but she enjoys the freedom.
She fights in a dress because she's a girlboss.
Please let her bring a horse on board she promises she'll look after it.


TIME MACHINE
History:
Miyu was the second born to the Japanese Royal Family, her father dying before her birth. Her older brother had already been named heir to the throne so Miyu's only job was to make the family look good and create ties with other families. She had to be the perfect daughter that would marry another royal.
Being from a wealthy, important family, Miyu was taught to read and write. She was also taught some typically feminine skills, such as singing and the piano, whereas her older brother was trained in weaponry and how to rule. Both were taught to ride horses, her brother so he could go to war if needed, and her in hopes that this skill would impress possible suitors. This was one of her only hobbies that she truly enjoyed, but not in the way her mother wanted her to. Rather than riding elegantly, she would much rather gallop across the fields surrounding the palace. She fell off often but she didn't mind, she loved the adrenaline and the adventure. She had a strong bond with her horse and, while she was meant to be practicing her music, she was probably riding in the forests.
Although she enjoyed some of the things that came with being a royal, the horses, the exotic fruits, the dresses... Miyu didn't feel like she was suited to the role. She would much rather be getting muddy, going on adventures, laughing loudly and signing off key. She
As she grew older, she began to lose her hearing. Afraid of telling her mother, she tried to teach herself to lip read, but her music became significally worse, especially her singing. Though she could still play the piano, she struggled with volume control and pitch when using her voice. Soon, her mother realised something was wrong. Her loss of hearing would not help her find a suitor, her plan to marry her off was in danger.
While visiting Europe with her family in order to find her a suitor, Miyu was kidnapped by the crew for ransom. However, Miyu wasn't worth enough to her mother for her to pay. She tried to use this situation to garner sympathy. She told her subjects that she wouldn't use their kingdom's money to pay the ransom, instead sending guards to retrieve her.
How Did They Become a Crewmember?: Being a princess, Miyu was initially kidnapped for ransom and kept in the brig of the ship. However, she wasn't exactly on best terms with her mother and the ransom money never came. Miyu was weirdly quite enjoying her holiday on the ocean and promised she could be somewhat useful if they let her stay.
What kind of Mysteries/Adventures would you like to see?: Miyu's mother refuses to send the money but sends some guards after her in hopes she can get her back without having to fork over the cash.
Miyu gets some weapons training c:<
Miyu gets to show off her horse riding skills

Every mouth must be fed. This is a truth whether on land or at sea, and Izelle views her role and work as the keeper of this truth. After all, a weakened crew cannot function as it ought to, leaving them all in potential danger of what lies beyond.

A pair of long, jagged scars runs from behind her right kneecap and twists around her leg to her ankle. There is a scar of similar shape and size beginning from the front of her kneecap and twisting around in a similar fashion. They look like something had tried to hang onto her...

the personality.

Izelle takes her role and responsibilities incredibly seriously, and often appears unsmiling and a bit snappish and impatient when she is preparing food. She is meticulous and careful, aware that one wrong move could result in spoilage that would force them to ration their portions, leading to potential issues with the crew's health. As such, everyone steers damn clear of her when she shuts the door to the kitchen, or emerges to bark orders at anyone who she views as lounging about and can therefore provide her a hand. When it comes to her job, her work, her pride, she refuses to be cowed by anyone into any form of submission and is a force to be reckoned with.

Once the work is done, however, and the work does come to an end, like everyone else's, she becomes quite a bit more amicable, enjoying spinning tales and hearing them from others, willing to take her meals with the rest of the crew and discuss the next great adventure they are to have. Outside of her mantle as cook, she appears much more laidback and willing to laugh and jest with others, often the one to turn her head away should some sort of mischieve be afoot-- so long as it doesn't interfere with her duties.

the past.

Izelle began her culinary journey at a pub near her hometown, however she found the job dull, as they were far inland and had no options when it came to creativity and presentation. As soon as she had saved up enough, she embarked on a journey to the coastal region of Tirie, where she apprenticed in a kitchen of a wealthy family, discovering spices and herbs and ways of preparing food that she had only dreamed of in her landlocked former town. It was here that she really developed her passion for food, as well as the deep importance of handling food with care, ensuring it was preserved correctly, as spoilage was exceptionally dangerous, even on land.

The wealthy family was heavily taken by her and encouraged one of the merchant ships that they owned to take her on as a cook aboard, as their original chef was aging and wished to retire and spend some years on steady land. She worked in tandem with her coworker for many trips, and eventually, was given permission to take over the role and make it her own. However, only a few months after she had received this position, disaster struck. A ship declaring itself as a naval vessel from a rival town attacked the vessel she was aboard, and she ended up barely clinging to life. It was here that she believes she had a brush with a siren, feeling something grab her leg and looking down to see something almost human. Barely managing to haul herself out of the water, a ship of survivors managed to find her and pull her aboard, where they managed to staunch the bleeding before rowing for nearly two days to land and safety.

While the others awaited their vessel home, Izelle was shaken. She was shocked at how unprepared they were for such an attack, at the audacity of said attack, and a burning curiosity for whatever it was that had seized her. She was no longer satisfied just being a cook, and wished to explore more of the world and discover the complexities of human nature along the way, as well as whatever it was that nearly took her life in the ocean. She found that opportunity once she had recovered from her wounds, spotting the pirate ship known as the Dragon's Ghost, and offering herself to the captain's services, intent on getting to the bottom of whatever the hell it was that happened.


the monsters beyond.

Izelle never really gave much thought to the ocean that she had rushed to as a teenager, but after the incident that gave her the scars on her legs, she has taken the time to learn about the stories and experiences of others that believe themselves to come face-to-face with the things that most declare mystical. As a result of her own experience, and the dismissive attitudes of the other survivors, she has an open-mind towards anyone proclaiming to have seen or experienced anything out-of-the-ordinary. After all, isn't it possible that what hapened to her is the norm, but that individuals are dismissed out of hand, or never make it to shore to tell their tale?

the rest.

Izelle is the second youngest of five children. Her parents wanted a boy to carry on the family name, and finally achieved it with her younger brother. She was never particularly close to any of her siblings as a result, as she and her sisters frequently had to compete with each other for whatever leftovers their parents gave them.

She is impartial to animals. Given that she occasionally needs to slaughter a chicken they brought on board, this is understandable. Animals largely seem impartial to her as well, except when the threat of becoming dinner manifests.

As a member of a merchant ship carrying important cargo, she was taught the basics of loading and firing a canon. However, she has never actually fired one in a fight yet. Additionally, since boarding the Dragon's Ghost, she has picked up sword fighting, more for exercise than learning how to practically fight anyone, well-aware that she may freeze up when actually forced to defend herself or the ship.

Izelle discovered her bisexuality once she came to the coastal town and found the grand exchange of cultural norms meant that many people were far more lax about such things as compared to her hometown.

While in the employ of the family in Tirie, she engaged in an intimate relationship with one of the maids there. It lasted nearly half a year, but was broken off when as said maid wished to seek out a husband that she could have children with. While Izelle was bitter for quite some time, it has faded, as she herself has no inclination towards children. She pursued two other relationships after her first, both of which ended due to one member of the relationship leaving Tirie for one reason or another.

Izelle has done her best to stay in contact with those that showcased her the world of cooking when she began her career. She is acutely aware that most would be greatly unhappy to learn that she has turned to piracy, and has done her best to remain vague about what the nature of her current vessel is.


the adventures ahead.

A potential rivalry with fellow pirates or a navy ship // Finding the remnants of a shipwreck and pillaging it and taking on something that carries a curse that they must know resolve before they become victims as well // Some sort of terrifying passage that they must cross, a la Charybdis and Scylla

Julia

Name
Julia Sendsworth
Nickname(s)
Slinky
Age
19 years old.
Gender
cis-female
Pronouns
she/they
Sexuality
Julia has no clue, she's attracted to who she's attracted to.
Birthday
March 9th
Role
The Lookout.
Are they good at their Role?
Yes and no! Julia is very used to being in small spaces high above the ground. She was a tightrope walker in the circus before running off into the night to join a pirate crew! She finds it easy to be distracted by small things and neglect to inform her Captain and Crew about on coming lands or mysterious sightings until the very last minute.
Body Modifications/Scars
Julia has multiple small scars on her feet, they are from her past life as a circus act. They are small and have no significant story.
Appearance Description
A thin and wiry looking girl, her head is disproportionately large to her frame and she has a mountain of wild white hair that she never bothers to brush. To some she might look feral but upon getting to know her you will find out that Julia prefers to wild look, it can sometimes serve as a self-defence to those who wish to do you harm. She stands at 5 foot 5 inches tall which is something Julia doesn't like about herself, she wants to be taller six foot to be exact she claims that being taller makes life easier, her biggest wish is to reach the top shelf without having to stand on her tip toes. Despite her age Julia's body is rather under developed for a young woman, before running from the circus she would be teased by stupid boys who have nothing better to do than tease someone about something they have no control over. The young woman has piercing blue eyes, they are from a father she never knew. Her skin is fair, too fair to be healthy but she'll soon burn in the sun which will give her the colour of a freshly cooked lobster. The final thing to note about Julia is that while she looks wiry she is actually quite strong, while her main act in the circus may have been tight rope she also a skilled acrobat and aerial dancer.
Personality
You could dangle a shiny gold necklace in front of Julia, tell her that it'll be hers as long as she does one thing for her. She'd do that thing without a second thought even if it would end in her in shackles or even worse the gallows, now Julia isn't the sharpest knife in the draw and she seriously lacks critical thinking skills, essentially she is naive, trusting and a little stupid.

Now, while those traits may be seen as undesirable in a world full of crooks Julia doesn't mind the way she is, she likes seeing the best in people believing that everyone has good intentions; it keeps her sane. Alongside being a bit stupid Julia is fearless, in the sense that she has over flowing confidence in herself that she can achieve anything if she tries it! She believes that she could swim around the world if she tried hard enough or that she could rob a bank without getting caught. Sometimes this confidence if useful when her crazy plans workout but when they don't go well it normally ends up in injury.

The final thing to note about Julia is that she is endlessly kind, her words or actions are never meant to harm or wound others but sometimes her carelessness can means that she hurts other without meaning too. When she does hurt somebody with her actions or words she will endlessly curse herself, it's a rather self-destructive thing but it's how she's always coped with accidentally being rude.
History
Born into a community of travelling people Julia only had two paths in life, continue within the strict community she would be expected to grow up in or she could leave and seek out her own adventure and of course Julia left. She left age 14 when a local Circus came to town, she adored how beautiful the performers looked and oo'd and awed at all the different acts. It was then when the Ring Master, Mr George spotted her in the crowd and thought she would make an excellent performer and so he asked her if she would like a join the circus and Julia agreed.

She trained for 2 years before making her debut as a contortionist whose stage name was Slinky. Slinky became a favourite among the crowds but Julia soon found herself growing bored of the circus lifestyle as it was so repetitive and that's when she heard tales of pirates, sea monsters, endless amounts of treasure that could be hers if she joined a pirate crew and so age 17 Julia ran away from the Circus and decided to join a pirate crew!
How Did They Become a Crewmember?
Well, Julia has transferable skills! A few months after leaving the Circus Julia was making a living as a Bar Maid where she would entertain the masses by doing acrobatic tricks that would drive the Land Lady insane, however one day in the bar people spoke of Pirates nearby and so Julia immediately quit her job and went in search of those pirates and thanks to her perserverance she found said pirate crew and begged to let her aboard. She had to prove this to the Captain of the Dragon Ghost that she could climb high and without fear and of course Julia did this with the flare of a performer, she even did a few cart wheels high up within the masts of the ship causing the rest of the crew to cringe thinking that she may fall.
Do They Believe in Sea Monsters?
Is the sky blue? Julia believes all tales even if she has not seen them with her two eyes! She's learnt about all different sea monsters, mermaids and sea demons. She wakes up each day thinking today will be the day she will spot one from her perch!

- Can't go to sleep without her teddy.
- Tries to sneak out in the night to pretend to drive the ship but always gets shouted at to go to bed.
- Julia is most likely forbidden from helping organise anything because her organisational skills confuse everyone.
- Gets fixated on people, she can make you feel so special but when the fixation dies down she often leaves people wondering if they've done something wrong.
- Often has nightmares about her community.
- Never wears shoes!

    THE Newbie
    ARE THEY GOOD AT THEIR ROLE?
    Though she does not have much experience working on ships, she is eager to learn and determined to contribute as a part of the crew.

    HOW DID THEY BECOME A CREWMEMBER?
    Lucy met Tapioca in a tavern and persisted until the captain let Lucy join the crew as a new crew member.

    DO THEY BELIEVE IN SEA MONSTERS?
    She does. Her father used to tell her bed-time stories of the ocean and when she was old enough to read she consumed any myths she could find, fascinated by all the legends.

    WHAT KIND OF MYSTERIES/ADVENTURES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?
    Finding treasure or perhaps seeing a mermaid.

    HEADCANONS

    ~ Don't touch her food, she's likely to bite you.
    ~ She carries a short sword with a wolf engraved into the hilt. It was crafted for her by her father and is her most treasured possession.
    ~ When she is nervous, she will fidget with the silver wolf medallion her father left for her.
    ~ Scrunches up her nose when she is confused about something.
    ~ When stressed she can not sit still and either practices her combat skills or does tasks around the ship to expel her nervous energy.
    ~ Only slightly feral, though she is a bit lacking in manners.
