((Hey-o.. mind if I join?))
Name: Lara (or Luke.,.. read on to find out why)
Age: 17
Gender: female
Status: travellar/thief
Species: human
App: Long red hair and flaming green eyes. She is skinny, and short, and could pass for a 15 year old boy with her hair tucked up. She wears slacks and a white button up shirt, and high boots. She has an old four cornered hat that she tucks her hair into.
History: She grew up on a pirate ship, and worked on a pirate ship until she wa 14. Her father then decided she should be more 'lady-like' and live with her grandparents in Englad. She stowed away on a pirate ship, and when they found her, she convinced them to let her work for them. Until she left, she had them beliving that she was a young boy, because they wouldnt let a girl work. She became very skilled in swordmanship and pistol shooting, and doing everything she was assigned to. She eventually left, and has wandered since, but has kept pretending to be a boy. Just incase it helped her somewhere along the way. ((whew that was long....))

Pulling her hat down to hide her eyes, she kept walking through the town. She recieved quite a few odd loooks, and even the occasional dirty look. She just glared back and kept walking.
"Hey lad," A voice called from behind him. it was an older boy, probably about 17. "What happened, you a cripple?"
She turned back around andkept walking. She was used to that. ever since she was little, she was used to walking on the ship, to go with the flow of the water. So, when she was on main land, she walked funny, the land was too still.
The boy continued to tease her, and finally she got tired of it. "shut the bloody 'ell up." She said, turning around to face him. "Now."
"whatcha gonna do?" he asked, smirking.
She quickly pulled out her dagger, and manovered so quickly that she had the knife against his neck before he could do anything. "That. Now, leave me the bloody 'ell alone, or you wont be able to talk again." Letting him go, she kept walking, leaving the stunned boy to gape.
