Lady Hanisha was born to a great merchant family, a family of much power and political connection, though they cared not to use it. In times of great political turmoil, her family chose not to rock the boat (and as they owned a fleet to carry their goods across the seas, they had many that they could, ironically) and would remain neutral to many causes, good or bad. The idea of using their time and wealth to change things,to go against or for the βrebellionβ that was going on when everything was fine with them at least, seemed a waste!
Β Hanisha was the perfect first born. Having been born with her legs undeveloped, other families would have simply moved on to the next child but her parents taught their child as they would the others, as their parents had themselves of the ways of her legacy. Hanisha would grow to be charming and poised, with a sharp tounge hidden beneath her witticisms for any who mocked her wheel chair. She was also taught all the ways of the sea, taught mostly by tome and book of ledgers and balancing budgets and profiting off sugar but also brought briefly onto the family fleets for small voyages.
Β She did well at her tasks, to the point that her family agreed that she could captain her own ship, with the help of trusted helpers.
Β And Hanisha did as her family wanted, her sales and connections kept their bank-vault filled and their reputation untarnished for many years.Β
Β But as soon as her ship leaves port, far from prying eyes, Lady Hanisha stowed away the wheelchair, a ridiculous ostentatious thing that couldnβt handle the seas.
Β She didnβt need it.
Hanisha was the perfect child.
But.
Β Her parents didnβt know that she had her legs cut off at the knee years ago on a trip to the east, the useless parts cast away. Neither did they know of the prosthetics she had commissioned at 24 and of how they allow her to walk as her crew do, or of the thin and highly balanced wheelchair she had made for the harder days where her thighs ached and pain struck through her back.
Β And what they also didnβt know, was that their daughter, at the age of 56, was part of the rebellion.
Β And also, definitely a pirate.
Something original! Hanisha is the life partner of my Siren character! Hanisha is actually more of a spy than a pirate, working with the rebellion who are working to overthrow the government! The siren, using their shifting powers, is also part of it, more for Hanishaβs sake than anything else though. Hanisha uses her age as a ruse nowadays, using her merchant persona to get her way. This rich old woman? Start trouble? naw!!
Β all my ideas, no steall!
