Lilly Lark
Lilly Lark worked as a serving wench scratching a living (along with her flea bites) at the Mermaid Inn. She was frequently accosted by drunken pirates who had come to port after being at sea for many a month. But with her trusty cutlass always strapped to her hip she learnt fast and learnt well how to fend off the scurvy dogs. The only pirate not to feel the the bite of her sword was Jack Dawe as he was the love of her life. He always sought her out when he sailed in and always had a purse full of gold. One day when he was home, on telling him that she was sick of working for pittance he said "Then dress as a boy and become my brother Tom Lark when we set sail again on full tide". And this she did. On board the pirate ship she fought and spliced many a main brace along side the pirates earning respect as a fine swordsman and loyal shipmate. It was revealed at a later time that she was if fact Lilly not Tom but because she had proved herself so well she was allowed to stay and here she be to this day.
