**Misty** and **Stormy Neptune** are sisters. Misty is **Harpy's** aunt, and Stormy was Harpy's mother. (Stormy is deceased.) Long ago, they lived together on a pirate ship. Misty was always sheepish and quiet, and the crew always saw her as weak. However, Stormy, being wild and brave, would always defend her. One day, they split apart after a turn of events, and ever since then, there's been a gap between the once inseparable sisters.

Misty, also known as Aunt Misty, is Harpy's aunt. Currently, she's Harpy's guardian. She's a lawyer and a scholar, and she also suffers from anxiety. She is thirty-two years old at the moment, and her birthday is on October 14th. She's calm, gentle, caring, and she worries quite a lot about Harpy while she's on her adventures with the Meep Team. She firmly believes in doing what is right for her family, which is why she took Harpy to Splatsville.
Misty is polite and kind, and she's always willing to help. In addition, she's quite self-conscious, and she constantly worries if she's managing her life the right way, and she DEFINITELY worries about the idea that she isn't good or responsible enough to take care of Harpy.

When she was younger, she was somewhat of a bookworm. She was always quiet, lonely, and she'd usually hide in the ship, trying to avoid the family that despised her. However, when push came to shove, her sister would always protect her.

## Stormy

> "I found ye another book. Stole it from the Captains' Quarters. I'd read it to ye, but I dunno how to read." -Stormy to Misty, when the two were children. (WIP)

Stormy was Harpy's mother, and the two had a lot in common. Stormy was wild, rebellious, and outspoken, much like her daughter. The major difference is that Stormy was not afraid of killing and hurting people, while Harpy most certainly is. On top of this, Stormy was known to be aggressive, cruel, and selfish. However, when she was younger, the story was much different.

When she was younger, the most important thing to her was her family, namely her younger sister, Misty, who would often be flogged by the rest of the crew. Stormy, however, would always try to protect and comfort her. However, after a turn of events, she lost Misty, and ended up drinking out of her grief. Currently, she is a genocidal maniac. Harpy's sword, known as "The Tempest", used to belong to Stormy.

She always had a strong connection to her family, and in her own words, "Nothin' is more important than a pirate's crew." When she was raising Harpy, she was always concerned that she was doing it the wrong way, and despite being a bad influence and an absolutely horrible mother, she cared a lot about her child. After losing Harpy, though, she has completely severed said connection to her family. After losing Harpy, all she cared about was vengeance and violence. She had gone insane.

Stormy's insanity was metaphorically foreshadowed in *The Neptune Trillogy*, specifically in *The Calm Before the Storm*, via a candle that was located inside of *The Pulverizer*'s Captain's Quarters. Throughout the story, the candle would slowly but surely burn out, until the end of the story, where it completely burnt out, symbolizing how Stormy had lost her mind.

Stormy, in conclusion, wasn't a good person, and she didn't know how to be one. After all, she was raised by pirates, and she only knew how to kill, steal, and drink. Her conflicting emotions built up inside of her, until the only thing she COULD do was kill.

## Appearances

Both of them are leafy sea dragons. Misty has dark blue skin, the color of a sea during a storm. Rather than having red patterns and eyes, like Harpy and Stormy, Misty's are blue. She has light blue hair with a dark blue streak running through the front, which is usually tied up in a bun. (When she was younger, she'd have it down, with her hair covering the left side of her face.) She has pearl earrings, a choker with a pearl, and a pearl bracelet, as well as a dark blue button-up dress shirt, with a blue, plaid pencil skirt with black high-heels. Like all leafy sea dragons, her scerlas are black.

Meanwhile, Stormy's skin was pale green, like Harpy's. She had blood red, triangular stripes in her hair. She had reptilian eyes with pitch black scleras and blood red irises. She had a wild ponytail, and the hair on the sides of her head has been shaved off, in a similar manner to Harpy's undercut. She had two pieces of hair hanging off the top of her head and over her face, with sharp, triangle-like edges, acting like bangs. She had an eye patch on her right eye, and a hook on her right hand. Said hook was covered in some kind of dirt, or at least, that's what meets the eye. (Said 'dirt' was actually dried blood.) Her ears had sharp edges, almost shaped like a hexagon. She wore a red pirate coat with loose sleeves, and black, baggy pants with red boots.

## Backstory

Stormy and Misty were once pirates living in **Shantyscarbg**. Misty, however, was seen as weak, so she was flogged by the crew quite often. Whenever this happened, Stormy would always come to help her. The two were inseparable for a long, long time. One day, when they were around twenty years old, Misty decided she wanted to abandon the pirate life and go to school and never look back. Stormy was upset by this, because she was afraid of losing her sister, the most important thing to her, forever. They had an argument, and Misty stormed off in the middle of said argument. Stormy never saw her again for another eight years.

Stormy ended up drinking over her grief. She began talking to an old friend of hers, **Jupiter Irma**, who she later married. However, after claiming that Stormy was "Distant and reckless", Jupiter ended up leaving and never coming back. This made Stormy's pain even worse. During this time, Stormy had Harpy, who she wasn't able to properly raise. Stormy was negligent, careless, and a horrible influence on Harpy, even letting the child drink at times. This continued until Harpy's seventh birthday, when Misty challenged Stormy in court, in an attempt to gain custody over Harpy. After six months of fighting, Misty won the case, and despite being a horrible parent, Stormy's heart was broken by this. Now, she had not only lost her sister, and not just her husband, but also her only daughter. Her family, the most important thing to her, had been ripped away from her, and now, with the Era of Hope taking all the pirates from the sea, she was the only Neptune left aboard the ship.

In an attempt to give Harpy a better life, Misty and Harpy moved to Splatsville. Since then, she's attempted to teach Harpy how to read, write, as well as teach her proper manners. Little does she know, the child is now overwhelmed, being torn between her pirate life, and this new, proper life.

Meanwhile, Stormy, in a state of grief, ravaged the seven seas, destroying and killing everyone in her path. She'd lost everything she cared about, so, she decided that she'd take all that used to belong to her back by force. Eventually, her fury made its way to Splatsville. In the end, she was killed by Harpy, thus marking the end of Stormy Neptune.

## The Lore of Shantyscarbg

Shantyscarbg is the piracy-ridden town that the Neptunes originate from. It takes about two weeks to sail there from Inkadia, however, the route is rife with salmonids, so most journeys usually take around four weeks, in order to avoid salmon runs. Shantyscarbg is also the Splatoon-equivalent of Scottish.

### The Founding of Shantyscarbg (1742-1800)

Shantyscarbg was found during the mid-16th century of the Mollusc Era. The country had already been thriving for a long time, although, during a great famine, the king decided to create a new settlement, completely dedicated to fishing, in an attempt to gather more food. A group of roughly 140 settlers were tasked with building the town, and they arrived on the coast of the country on February 19th, 1742. There, they created a small town, and they named Shantyscarbg.

### The Piracy Era (1800-2009)

As piracy died in the rest of the world, it began to spike in Shantyscarbg. For over two hundred years, the town was in a state of chaos, and the entire coast of the country along with it. It was an age of complete anarchy and piracy, and it simply melted into Shantyscarbg's culture overtime.

### The Era of Hope (2009-Early 2023)

In the midst of the chaos, a group of rebels formed. These rebels were dead-set on establishing laws, regulations, and a government in order to stop the piracy. Most of these rebels were lawyers and scholars, and they were known as the "Hope-Bringers" toward those negatively affected by piracy (commoners, traders, merchants, etc.), and the "Sea-Scourgers" by the pirates. Throughout this era, piracy slowly began to decrease in popularity, as more pirate ships were destroyed, more pirates were arrested, and more people became involved in the Hope Bringers' cause.

### The Storm Age (2023-2024)

Nothing is stronger than a pirate's rage, and one pirate, specifically, was angry enough to turn the tables. This pirate was known as Stormy Neptune. She and her crew quit piracy, and turned to genocide. For several months, now, Shantyscarbg has been in a state of chaos, rife with crime and arson, as it's being choke-held by the largest crime syndicate in the country. Every day, the pirates' rage spreads further and further across the land, and it's only a matter of time before it takes the entire country, and after that, who knows how far these barbaric pirates will go. Currently, no one outside of the country knows about this.

#### The Jones' Port Massacre

The Jones' Port Massacre was the event that kickstarted The Storm Age. On October 30th, 2023, Stormy Neptune had gathered up all the remaining pirates still sailing the seas. She'd been preparing this strike for the past five years. At around 2:34 AM, forty-two ships arrived at Jones' Port, a port located on the shore of Shantyscarg. The port, in the Piracy Era, was often used by pirates. For generations, it was known as a "home base" for the pirates. Now, it'd be the place where the largest massacre in Shantyscarbg history would take place. The order was given by Captain Stormy Neptune, a well-known and feared pirate, who came from a bloodline of well-trained sailors. Now, the captain, the Scourge of the Seven Seas, and the Tempests' Master, would give the order to strike.

> "Heave ho, me maties! Burn everything ye see! Kill everyone ye find! Burn the women, hang the children! Leave nothing from Davy Jones' hands!" - Captain Stormy Neptune, October 30th, 2023, 2:34 AM.
>
>

This order marked the beginning of a horrendous event. About 234 civilians were killed. 67 of them were children, who were publicly hanged. 98 of them were women, who were burned alive. The other 69 were killed in a variety of brutal manners. Since the massacre, innocents have been hiding underground, trying to avoid the pirates' wrath. In these dark times, however, a song has been whispered in the darkness, known as the "*Tàlaidh An Dòchas*", or, "*Hope's Lullaby*".

### Rebuilding (2024-Present)

Captain Stormy Neptune and her crew set off, leaving Shantyscarbg behind. A few months later, a message was received that the captain had been slain. So, the people of Shantyscarbg immediately started to rebuild. Where Shantyscarbg is headed politically, economically, and culturally is a mystery at the moment.
