Krimson Kat

My Name is Bonny Kat Rackham aka the Krimson Kat… My Father was a well known pirate, as well as my mother.  I was born on the island of Cuba.  My mother quickly relinquished me for the church to raise while she quickly returned to the life of piracy she loved.   I was raised on the island of Barbados near the docks by my colonial foster mother, a nun who had hoped to spare me my parent’s fate.  When I was 17 I ran away to the sea as a “Cabin Boy” on a Dutch Merchant ship.  Three days out we were boarded by Pirates and I was given the choice of joining the crew and signing the articles or being dropped off at the nearest sand bar.  Not liking the idea of drowning (it was low tide and I am a more than capable swimmer yet, I do have feline tendencies and prefer not getting wet) I signed on.   My gender and real identity were quickly discovered due to my close resemblance to my, now infamous, mother.

I have been known to dress in items stolen from the Pirates and Rogues I have conquered or subdued.  More usually I am found in clothing to catch my quarry in the illusion of the “weaker sex”.  My favorite game is “Help! Damsel in this dress….won’t you help me out?”

My weapon of choice is an 8 foot bullwhip and the “cat”; after all I am a captain’s daughter.  I have my Captains back, helping the Master at Arms control and guide the crew during maneuvers…but given opportunity
