It cannot be! I refuse to believe it! He's found me here in Gaia!!!!! The most heinous man who killed me crew and drove me ship onto the reefs...he found me!
This most heinous man is named....Boffin, Artemis Boffin. Now I guess I must tell you all of me journeys prior to finding short lived peace in Gaia.

I was born and grew up on a farm in the village of Llwyn On near the Irish Sea in Wales. My father was a stout Welsh farmer and my mother was a strong Irish woman and the daughter of a weaver. I had a peaceful childhood full of tilling the earth and watching the sea. Those were the happiest days of me life I'd have to say.
When I was but 14 summers old, me mother died. She was a magnificent woman, clever, humerous, and adored by her family. I also inherited her charming looks whee . Sadly, she was walking to market as she always did when she was run over by Old Mad Codger's hunting pack. A true tragedy....and after she died I was to wed Artemis Boffin in order to keep my family's status in the village. It was complete bollocks by the by, but Mamie Boffin wanted her son to marry the best girl in town. I had no desire to marry that pudding headed git so I was left in quite a pickle.
So a few weeks later, Artie Boffin asked me to marry him and I said no. But Mamie was furious and demanded that I marry him or she'd ring me scrawny neck. Upon her leaving, me whole family started scheming in order to save me life and me womanhood eek . Of course it was me grand old Granther Ban who came up with the idea that I'd flee to London town. And that very night, that was were I did go.
Luckily it was high summer when I left otherwise the travelin would have been miserable. Upon getting to London town, I found work as a fish monger. I would monger fish all day and sit up reading old newspapers all night. That was when I first read about Joni the Red. Now Joni was a pirate, and a most revered one at that. She never harmed folk that were good, but she always dealt justice to those who were crooked. I left my fish mongering to find her naught three months after coming to London town.
I found her moored in London by chance and joined her crew. She had me join her crew as a cook, but I gradually came to be first mate in a very short amount of time. We sailed and fought together as sworn sisters till she died 4 summers past. She left her ship, the HMS Mollycoddle, her crew and her possesions to me. And for three years I sailed with a freedom I had not felt since I was a wee one.
Five months ago I sailed back to Llwyn On. I miss me family and I hadn't seen them for quite some time. They were fine and in a true tizzy when I showed up for Granther Ban's 86th birthday party. The whole village was turned out, so unfortunatly, Mamie Boffin and Artemis found me. They were going to try to force me to wed Artie again, so I beat the silly sod about. Well, that only made him good and mad so I set out to sea again. He chased me the world over until he destroyed everything I had.
And that's my tale. A bit shortened, but that is basically the story of me grand life.
