Appearance:
Elizabetta has bright blond hair that almost reaches the bottom of her shoulder blades, and, except for when she is cooking, is worn loose. Her eyes are a deep green, with flecks of pale silver. Among her clothes are a tawny parka with white fur trimming around the collar, which is only worn during cold weather, and a pale blue fitted t-shirt with baggy, light tan sweatpants-like pants.

History:
Elizabetta grew up happy, with loving parents and enough money for them to treat her like a princess. By eleven years old Elizabetta had been courted by several men, some several years her senior, but had politely refused all of them as she focused on her education with a fiery determination. She ended up attending a school on the opposite side of the island, where the poorer citizens lived. Elizabetta was confused as to why her parents had decided to send her to a lower-level school, but she didn't question their judgment. However, when rumors began to fly around the hallways, hinting that the De'Moine family may be in debt after dealings in the black market, Elizabetta couldn't sit still any longer. As soon as she could Elizabetta returned home, or at least where it had once stood.

The De'Moine mansion was gone. And not just burned to the ground by marauding pirates, where at least a blackened skeleton would remain. The mansion had stood on a cliff, with a sheer drop to the crashing waves below right in it's backyard, but now that cliff was much shorter. After inquiring around the town, Elizabetta learned that her parents had been on another island when the mansion had fallen to the ocean floor. Both of Elizabetta's parents had seemed unsurprised by what they discovered, and they had left a note with the Grandmother of the village and got onto the next ship off the island, not telling a soul where they were headed.

When Elizabetta read the letter she learned that her parents had indeed been dealing with the local black market, specifically a group of Fishmen who apparently didn't like to be kept waiting when debts were due. Her parents had been several months behind on a payment to the Fishmen, and in retaliation the mansion was sunk. Her parents said it was unsafe for them to tell Elizabetta about their location, and that they wouldn't be able to come and find her until they had collected enough money to pay back the debt. The rest of the letter was them apologizing for not telling her sooner, and giving directions to several relatives Elizabetta could stay with until her parents could retrieve her. When she had finished reading the letter Elizabetta had thrown the paper off the edge of the cliff, letting the icy wind carry it across the waves.

At first Elizabetta tried going to the Marines for help with the Fishmen gang, named Black Jerks by Elizabetta for their dealings in the black market and her personal opinion, but it quickly became obvious that they weren't interested in saving her parents, but wanted to put them behind bars for their dealings with pirates. For the next two years Elizabetta traveled from marine base to marine base, searching for help from both the Marines and any Bounty Hunters she came across. All the people she asked wanted to arrest her parents, or because she didn't have any proof, just didn't believe Elizabetta's story.

When her fourteenth birthday rolled around, Elizabetta had given up on turning to the government for help, and decided to instead turn to pirating. Although the idea didn't terribly appeal to Elizabetta, after all she had been raised as a lady, she slowly began to grow accustomed to stealing from the rich, always leaving an anonymous note promising she would try to pay them back someday. As she traveled from island to island, stealing and getting a small bounty as she went, Elizabetta decided she should search for a crew, who would probably be able to help her earn money alot faster than she currently was, especially since she continuously gave some up to those less fortunate then herself. (which is pretty darn pitiful)

Personality: Elizabetta prides herself on being a very honest person, but she is usually a bit too honest and tells people too much. She is also open-minded and has great self-control when she is involved with a dispute between two people, usually resulting in her being the peace maker. She is self-reliant and although she can see the importance of accepting help from others, it is difficult for her, especially so when it comes to her cooking. She is a soft-spoken girl with a tendency to allow her eyes to wander during conversations, but this doesn't mean she is shy. As aforementioned, Elizabetta can be brutally honest, usually not thinking about the consequences of what she has said until after her words have left her mouth, and that is if she sees that it was wrong. Sometimes Elizabetta can be socially ignorant, not picking up the social ques and such that others may. Her thought process is also a bit slow, hardly helping her pick up things in fast paced situations. In fights she has worked around her slow processing by making her body react to instinct, and sometimes this translates to jumpiness and paranoia during non-fighting situations. Elizabetta is also prejudiced against non-humans, especially Fishmen, and is extremely weary of them at first impressions.
