About

This swashbuckling pirate captain has recently gained the acknowledgment of a powerful assembly in the Pirate Isles, and she is itching to prove herself. A devout follower of the Pirate Queen, she will loot first and ask questions later. Those who allow her to take their plunder without significant resistance may be sent on their way, but she is more than willing to sell those who take up arms against her as slaves. She prefers to capture her opponents alive rather than killing them, seeing their deaths as a waste of profit.
