What, the hat and the eyepatch didn't give it away?
[She tosses her hair, hand moving to her hip. It should look like silly posing, and it sort of does, but it looks natural, too, like she couldn't not be dramatic even if she tried.]
I'm the cobalt corsair, the blue buccaneer, the pirate queen of the Alternian oceans! Or I was, until a dragon annihilated my fleet. Such are the tides of fortune. I am adrift! And this bizarre place will serve well enough as a new adventure.
[She doesn't sound bitter about it; a little wistful, perhaps, but for the most part she accepts the upheaval of her circumstances with grace. She hardly even thinks of it as a downfall; it's just another chance to begin again, with nothing but her wits and her newly-minted arm against ever the more spectacular odds. And it makes a great story.]
