Quickie'sAppearance:

History: Born in the North Blue Quicke doesn't know much about her childhood other than she was brought up in an orphanage because her parents didn't want her for some reason. Whilst at the orphanage, Quicke was taught the basic lesson such as english, maths & basic life skills throughout her life there. She took an interest in cooking though. Learning to cook, she always tried to make the best things on her own, but usually failed. But non the less she was a natrual. Progressing through the years as a gifted cook, she finally reached the age of 18. This is when she was asked to leave to make a life for herself as they simply didn't have the room for her anymore. Understanding, Quicke left the orphanage and headed out to begin a life. Applying for jobs as a cook around town she was shunned and told no because she had no proper education other than that at the orphanage. Growing frustrated over this, Quicke struck revenge on the restaurant closest.

Watching as a new stock of ingredients was brought in, she realized not only would she still need to eat, but also it would teach them a lesson. She stole one of the crates and ran with it. Once she was out of sight and tired, she cracked the crate open as she sat in the local woodland. Peering in she couldn't believe what she saw. Snakes! She couldn't understand what delicacy snakes were being used for and when the lid tumbled off she watched as the snakes quickly fled. Seeping into the woodland she spotted an egg at the bottom. Lifting it out she questioned whether or not she should eat it or try and hatch it, her belly made the call.

Sorting out some DIY cooking instruments and a small fire, Quicke lifted the egg ready to crack it open when she felt the egg was light. Looking over it, she could see there was a crack in it followed by missing pieces. The egg was empty. Searching for the fire she spotted the small baby snake slithering towards the fire and quickly pulled it from the flames screeching "No!" Lifting the baby to her chest she looked into its eyes and then at the flames. She was hungry but she couldn't eat this snake.

Over the course of the next few months Quicke started to grow attached to the snake, she would pick fruits from the trees during the days and use bird's eggs for food. Occasionally as Mojo grew he would catch a bird which she would cook and they would share. After this she started to ask herself why she was still living in the woods when she could be living like everyone else in the town. Heading into town she visited a public bathroom where she got washed up. Heading through she caught sight of a poster for a cooking class without any money for the class and Mojo around her neck she sat down trying to think of the best way to make money to see Mojo had snatched up a purse in his mouth. Dropping it into her lap, Quicke got the idea to snatch a few purses & wallets to fund it, she wasn't entirely against it but her memories of her childhood came back as why her parents put her in the orphanage.

When she had been younger, she had been a kleptomaniac and her parents didn't understand it and had kicked her out because she hadn't understood. During her earlier time at the orphanage she'd got help to put it at bay. Snatch beli from the people throughout the town, Quicke managed to raise a small fortune thanks to Mojo who also aided her in snatching up the occasional wallet. Paying for the cooking courses Quicke lived like this for the next two years. Stealing & living in the woods.

Over the years living in the woods she encountered the snakes she had set free before hand, and during encounters she was remembered for freeing them. Taking a liking to her she formed a bond with these snakes as well and started to learn what caused snakes to form bonds and as well as feel affection. During one of the last cooking classes Quicke discovered that people had pegged her as the petty thief as she always seemed strapped for cash and always around when people's money went missing. Being accused of petty theft, marines broke into the class and attempted to arrest her. As they went to arrest her Mojo bit one of the Marines paralyzing him and Quickie ran for her life with Mojo around her.

Mojo had grown into a large snake and Quicke was proud of him, she felt happy to see what she had brought up like a child and could understand why her parents had sent her to the orphanage. Returning to the woodland and agonizing over what she would do now that she was viewed as a thief, Quicke spent the next few days hiding there. She thought about climbing aboard a ship and escaping, but how long would it be before she was found as a stowaway.

Taking Quickie's name from the register Marines placed a 500 beli bounty on her head. Heading to the docks realizing she didn't have much she could do on her island, Quickie volunteered her services as a cook and was quickly taken aboard as they were in need of one. Happy she could help, bounties were released and upon seeing her bounty the crew questioned her at gun point. Explaining it to them, the crew understood and asked her if she knew how to protect herself. Shaking her head, the crew told her that they would not harbor a criminal aboard their ship, but they didn't want her to fall prey to the marines either for a crime for survival.

Explaining the combat of the Kuja and how they used their snakes as bow & arrows the crafted a few arrows for her and offered her a quiver. Taking it and thanking them both for the combat she was taught, Quicke was dropped off on the next island. In her mind she asked herself what she wanted to do with her life.

She wanted to look after Mojo as she was her baby and always would be.
She wanted to become the world's greatest cook because it was the only thing she was good at and wanted to excel in it.

Personality: Delightful and perhaps a little bit cheeky, Quicke loves to tease people so she can get a good shot at their wallets. Especially the men's since they're often loaded. Flirty but not quite interested in relations whatsoever she uses all the money on ingredients so she can practice her cooking. It is her passion and she loves doing it and having Mojo around to taste her cooking. Without him she wouldn't have gotten as far as she has and she knows this. She loves having money to spend, but isn't greedy, just likes knowing its there in case of emergency. Quickie has a strong bond with Mojo, similar to that between a mother & child as she feels she has had to be a mother to him and as hes grown, Mojo has become a great help to her like children often do to their parents. Feeling that cooking is her only way to succeed at life she will do anything to prolong it even if it means stealing, but as she is viewed as a criminal she is looking anywhere she can for someone who'll take her as a cook so she can fulfill her dream. Throughout her travels in search of someone who'll take her, she has heard of the Grand Line and various amazing things such as fish & cities with salt topped roofs which only enhance the food and desires to go there and experience the greatest pleasures the mouth can.

All seems well, just .. how did she came up with that battle style? After all, not too many people know much about the Kuja tribe, let alone their weaponry and habits. Did she just came up with that on her own? Is it related directly from the Kuja? And if so, how is it possible? Everythin else is good to go.

Says in the bio the ship she joined as a cook taught her how the Kuja use their snakes as bows, but thats it. They just taught her that the snake acts like a bow then you use some arrows and you've got a bow & arrow without the bow but a snake. Also its understandable that not many people know of the Kuja & their combat etc etc but theres still chance some people know of it.

The bit about using Mojo's venom she figured out herself and since the snake has venom she calls it Mojo style since thats the snake's name.

Ah, somehow I skipped the word "Kuja" in the history section. My bad, everythin is fine, no worries. My apologies.
APPROVED.

No problem, thanks
