## Biography

#### **Charlotte Amelia Rose**

Daughter of Royal Navy Admiral Sebastian Clarke and his longtime lover, Penelope Stone. Her mother was a kind, free-spirited soul, who lived her whole life in an encampment in Tall Trees with family and friends. She was a chef, a herbalist and a volunteer anywhere she could be. Her father was an adventurer, who ended up in the navy and devoted his life to a ship and the crew. He was brave, protective and would do a lot for anyone who showed him kindness.

They met in Blackwater.

Penelope had given a helping hand at the docks - she was carrying a shipment to the saloon, when a couple thieves attempted to jump her. Much to their dismay, several sailors quickly surrounded them and dealt with the problem accordingly. Penelope and Sebastian became fast friends, soon lovers - and a baby girl was born a few years later.

Charlotte lived her childhood years with her mother at the camp, tucked away in the woods - surrounded by animals and plants. A wild child, beyond rebellious - yet more kind than most, even if she was a loner who preferred her own company.

Her father dipped in and out of the docks in Blackwater, making his presence and love known to Charlotte and her mother for many years. He was always a good man to them both, but his heart belonged to the sea - and he would eventually reject Penelope's many pleas of him staying with them.

Her mother grew sick with heartache, her mind was clouded and tormented. All she ever wanted was for him to leave the navy to be with them, finally becoming a real family - but when that dream was crushed, Penelope threw herself into the depth of Aurora Basin and never came back up.

#### **Becoming Charlie**

After the passing of her mother, she fell into the custody of her father, who brought her along for a life at sea. She would learn the ropes, the ways of tending to different areas of the ship, caring for the wounded and feeding the hungry. Charlotte soon became an important asset to her fathers ship, and she spent most of her youth sailing and exploring the world.

Sebastian would eventually retire due to extensive injuries and settle down in Saint Denis with Charlotte becoming his temporary carer. He went on to marry a wonderful doctor, who encouraged his daughter to seek a life for herself.

#### **Part of the crew, part of the ship**

A promising job opportunity with a former privateer turned out to be so much more than she had first anticipated. For the first year or two, she had no idea what was going on aboard the infamous "Queen Rogue", but for one very specific reason, she stuck around. What felt like following her father footsteps quickly became her mothers, as she grew close to the captain of the ship. Fast friends. Soon lovers - and finally partners in crime. Wherever he would go, she would blindly follow. If he didn't shoot first, she would. Pirates had practically been a myth her whole life, a scary evil in many bedtime stories. As much as she knew they existed, she would have never thought to become one of them.

However, the choice was easy. What happens at sea, stays at sea.
