Name: Jacquol
Age: 18 (Updates xx.12.03)
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual, panromantic, polyamorous
Craft: N/A (She's a pirate)
Rank: N/A (Definitely a pirate)
Location: Pern!


Physical Description: Jacquol is never going to be a giant of a woman, but she's not too badly sized if you ask her. 5'6" is just fine for staying out of trouble, scurrying up masts and over netting, and is still small enough to stow away in a dragon's saddlebag if the need arises. She's got a bit of a swarthy look, and turns in the sun have left her more or less permanently tanned on top of it. Her dark hair is, frankly, a mess. Don't get her wrong, she washes it and oils it, but the style really is more hack-job and wind-blown than anything approaching the current fashions. Dark cat-like eyes and piercings everywhere (but if her brother's asking, just her ears...and her nose...and her eyebrow...) make her look exotic and interesting, as well as probably a bit older than she really is. Really, her entire presentation is a bit feline, and while not the bustiest or most sensuous young lady, she has grace and a sort of predatory confidence behind her movements.

She likes clothing that swishes or jingles, but that is also easy to move in. She spends a fair amount of time running into or out of trouble, after all, and it's important not to get tripped up in something as silly as ladies' skirts!

Personality: Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me! Jacquol was already a restless strip of a girl when her big brave brother went and impressed a bronze, and then ran away...without her! She was horribly jealous of his (in her eyes) wild adventuring life, and she decided then and there that she was going to have her own adventures. At some point or other she packed her bags and moved away (read: ran away), off to turn the whole world over just to find her brother. It didn't even really dawn on her that her absence might distress her parents, nor would she have cared if she had thought about it. It just wasn't important in the grand scheme of the slowly unfolding epic that was her life.

She's the type to say anything goes, but really she only means the slightly-gray things. Her moral compass is off, not broken, and despite her free lifestyle she reviles slavery and has never, and would never take a life if she could help it. She loves the chase and the hunt, running from trouble and diving right back in again. Filled to the brim with the sense of immortality that comes with being young, she's a daredevil and a trickster and doesn't just thumb her nose at most authority, she happily pulls down her trousers to moon it on the way out through the window.

She's cocky enough to feel like she's an old hand at most things in life, and while she's happy to try to give advice to someone she sees struggling, she'll probably ride them a little for struggling. Then again, if they took it seriously and got upset or sad, she'd feel bad over it. She'd have no idea what to really do about it though, and only would rarely finally square up and apologize.

Pros: Clever, humorous, capable, brave.
Cons: Irreverent, irresponsible, selfish.

History: She was born to a HUGE family, but her favorite brother was always Jacomus. So, of course, she followed his example and ran away from home. Raw energy and chutzpah have garnered her a surprising amount of respect in the turns since, but she still is quite a young girl. She's dabbled in theft, fencing, general swashbuckling, and breaking and entering. Of course, as soon as her brother caught wind she'd gone rogue, he came swooping in to try to get her to go back home. Each attempt was met with either a repeat escape barely a tenday later, or outright refusal to obey his demands, and finally he simply could do nothing but roll her into his crew, if only because then at least he could keep an eye on her.

She was thrilled to spend a turn or two following in Jacomus' footsteps (as much as she could without a dragon, mind) and learn the literal ropes, but his flighty nature, being left behind on and off, again and again...she had to take confidence in herself, and find her own way. So she did. She's established a small circle of friends (fellow pirates and ne'er-do-wells) that are loyal to themselves and her first, and has been working on saving up to get her own ship. Sure, she might not have a dragon, but she could have that, right?

Or that was the plan until thread returned. Thread eats boats, down to the nails holding them together, and to see the lovely barge she'd been scraping and scrounging marks for left in tatters after first fall? It made her mad, and made her driven. She's been slowly concocting a plan to try to somehow get her own dragon, as that at least could burn up any thread coming at it. But stealing an egg's never been easy, and slipping in to impress just means she'd be stuck at a weyr. But maybe, she thinks, just maybe if the clutch was Jacomus' bronze's...well!

Other: She's a younger sister of Jacomus, and one of the few that went HARD AND DEEP into the pirate life.

Shinos, this is a wonderful start. However, I'm going to need her personality spelled out just a little more. Right now it's reading as history, then history, with a smattering of personality thrown in for good measure. I can read between the lines, but if you could go into a bit more detail, that'd be grand. <3

History is also a bit sparse and does not explain what she's been up to since Thread fell.

Added a bit more, though yeah personality and history are hard for me to keep apart. XD;
