I'm an absolute freak for the creek

Me and frodo went OUT

This is Lena, a former pirate alongside Serena (who she had a FAT crush on) who was kicked off the crew. I first made her when writing my shannon-centric fic as the Pirate Girl (spoiler) who tried kidnapping Tony.

Lena lost her arm due to complications when she was born. After that, their parents (mainly her mother) would constantly baby her and insist on doing everything for her. A scrapped knee was the equivalent to a broken bone, next thing you know she isn't allowed to play outside for a week. This further frustrated Lena as her parents were constantly worrying about her and viewed her a helpless (smaller) child. So Lena grew desperate for someone to see them as a respectable girl capable of doing things herself despite her disability.

It was no surprise Serena's pirate crew clicked so quickly with her.

As a pirate, Lena grew prideful and obsessed over becoming a stronger and more respectable pirate. The fear she gave people gave them the power they lacked with her own family. Every raid was a chance to prove herself as stronger, often trying to outshine their fellow crewmates by always getting the biggest item to steal.

(This is a retelling of a part in my fic, you can go to that fic if you want)

However one raid, Lena spots a group of scouts running along the creek trying to get away from the pirates. Refusing to leave the raid empty handed, she decides to steal something from the scouts.

Failing to steal from the scouts, she decides to steal one of the scouts.

Lena kidnaps Tony not wanting to leave the raid empty handed, and to make him a pirate. With his small size, he could be used to crawl into smaller spaces for Serena.

However, Lena is caught by Shannon and is held hostage in order to negotiate a deal with Serena.

After the negotiation, Lena is given back to Serena, but at a cost.

Due to their reckless behavior, letting themselves be captured by a non pirate which resulted in Serena making a deal with a non pirate in order to get her back, Lena is kicked from the pirate crew.

Now, they are forced into becoming a creek kid.

After being kicked from the crew, the creek kids no longer fear her, and they lose the respect they worked hard to obtain.

Now being forced to live like a regular creek kid, she is surprised that none of her old crewmates show mercy towards her during their raids.

She doesn't last a month being the weaker person, and out her hurt pride, they leave the creek.

They don't come back until a year after Serena's pirate crew ends.
