Name: Isabella Hanes (Bella)
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Pirate
Occupation: Bella has worked as a cook on quite a few pirate ships, her first having been the Bloody Mary at age twenty-three.
Weapon of Choice: Meat cleaver, mallet, really any useful kitchen implement that can cause some damage. When not in her kitchen she carries a cutlass and loaded pistol on her at all times.
Home Town/Island: Bella was born in Port Royal under a family of tavern owners, learning her trade from her mother who also loved to cook. Wishing for adventure she turned to cooking on pirate ships, at the moment wandering about Tortuga in search of a new position.
Ship: Bella has worked on many ships, but has never owned one. At the moment she is looking to work on a new ship, her most recent workplace ship the Grindstone having been looted off the shore of Tortuga about a week ago.
Appearance: Bella is stocky and muscular, shorter than most women her age but still standing at an intimidating height. She has shoulder-length brown hair and matching hazel eyes, her skin well-tanned from spending nearly ten years at sea. She is usually wearing a loose red bandana over her short hair and a gold earring in her right ear. Bella also wears a white flannel shirt with a green dyed wool vest, usually buttoned up with wooden buttons. She wears brown tweed pants with a black leather belt locked with a brass buckle, and loose black boots to fit her rather large feet.
Personality: Bella is usually kind, high-spirited, and good-natured, sharing more than a few laughs with the crew. She seems to have a soft spot for young children, often giving them a special treat she'd made. However, if any of the crew tried sneaking in a snack or taste of her meal, they'd be sorry for it. Most left with sore knuckles recently rapped by a wooden spoon, though a few went without supper or whatever meal Bella had been making.
History: Bella was born in Port Royal, parented by the owners of the Green Tortoise Tavern. There she learned to cook and garden, all the while listening intently to the pirate's stories. Finally, at the age of twenty-three she ran off and joined the crew of the Bloody Mary as a cook. Unfortunately, after but a month or so the ship crashed into some rocks and the crew was stranded on an island. Most of the crew was eaten by cannibalistic natives, though Bella and a few others were rescued just in time by a passing trading ship. After that Bella drifted from crew to crew, never quite forgetting that first dreadful experience. Uninhabited islands still frighten her and she usually remains on the ship, though now she has no crew and is searching for a new one.
Other: Bella has an older brother and younger sister she left back in Port Royal, both of which she misses dearly. Her brother had been a lazy slack-off but brilliant with a sword, and her sister had had a knack for gunpowder, cannons and rifles. For all Bella knew both could be on some other ship in some other crew, having abandoned the tavern life like she.
Roleplay Sample: Below deck sat the kitchen and crewman's quarters, and in the kitchen stood the cook. Most people expected the cook to be a man, not this time though, this cook was a woman. She had hazel eyes and short, shoulder-length brown hair. She wore a red bandana and a single gold earring. The cook also wore a white shirt with a green vest and brown pants with a black belt. She wore a pair of black boots and always had a knife on her. If the enemy was lucky that's all he would taste. But sometimes she had a meat cleaver, or her mallet. Yes, she fought, and was fierce with it too, like any other pirate. Especially if you messed up her meal, that's why no one bothered her while she was cooking. Not even the captain, for if anyone was caught in the kitchen before a meal, they would go without a meal. The cook's name was Isabella, but the crew called her Bella, and she was quite respected amongst them. (This isn't my best, it's one of my sloppier samples. If you'd like, I could show you a better one out of character.)
