Personality
calm, collected, reserved, calculated, quiet, but not unwilling to talk. Shes very mature and much older for her actual age, and has a sadness to her as well with some anger. She can act alluring but hates men. Shes very rooted to her culture and traditions of her birth home (Italy and Greece). She knows her stories and songs and actually has a pretty good voice, and can dance some too. She has a great memory to will hold a grudge, and remember debts. She works hard in her battle skills, mostly choosing to fight with the weapons of my ancestors.. She will sometimes use a gun, and it may seem like mostly choosing not to puts her at a disadvantage, her skill with a blade makes up for it, for she fights knowing many different styles (Greek, Roman, Spanish, mostly British) and sometimes blends them. Like her blades she she sharp and battle worn. She is not modest or ashamed of her past, yet it still sometimes haunts her. During battle she almost relishes it, particularly if she had been in a foul mood. Sometimes can seem a bit unfeeling, but really thats just her shutting it all out cause it hurts the most.
Backstory
when she was little her father was a good merchant, but gambled too much and lost all his ships. Those who he lost to were vicious and greedy, saying it wasnt enough, so they took his wife and his daughter for slaves. Circes mother did what she could to protect her, which in turn killed her right in front of her daughter. Circe hat seeing her mothers death later killed the one who did it in a rage with some broken glass. Already had the age was 12 she had been a slave, a orphan, and a murderer. She was young and pretty, so she was not killed for what she had done, but worked harder than the rest. She was sold off to a few others. Once she got to a larger ship, and started to fall for the captains son. The night they tried to run away together they were caught. The Captains son had been dim witted and sentimental enough to leave a goodbye letter to his father. He also upon being catch begged for forgiveness to his father, breaking Circe entirely. As a slave she had befriended the Ashli power monkey, and got some gun powder. She slit the captains thought and blew up part of the ship. She escaped to land, free at last, never knowing if her past love was still alive. After she got her shackles off she roamed the streets, surviving, till she got got a job on a smaller merchants ship to help in the kitchens. On the ship the Captain took an interest in her and she was taught to fight and sail. Soon she and the Captain became lovers. She thought her life was back together, that the horrors and blood were gone. But then the British navy boarded them and found out they were smuggling illegal things. Circe hadnt known though suspected. The navy made to take them aboard for prisoners and burn their ship and cargo. Circe, in a frenzy, memories of being a slave rushing in, fought back to not be taken again. They would have killed her but the Captain stopped them and instead was killed himself. Circes heart had grown hard and when the Navys ship got into a fight with a pirates ship that had heard of the take down of the before ship. Circe joined the fight, not on anyones side but her own rushing anger. The Pirates won and hearing that the Captain was dead, took in his crew, Circe joining in, her hair hidden in a hat, her face so ruddy that they couldnt tell. Once they docked though she got off. She did some odd jobs here and their, till she heard of a crew of tough female pirates...

Backstory
She was born and grew up in Norway. Her father fished and traded furs, and she and her brother were taught to sail on the cold dark and windy north Sea. Her mother grew ill and they had to move inland for her health. Cassiopeia and her brother missed the sea, but they now were being taught to read and even write. She was always better at it than her brother. If he made a mistake, the teacher would correct him, if she made a mistake, he hit her. She hated how she had to learn how she then must wear dresses and wave fans and say pretty fake words, while her brother got to learn sword play and horseback riding. She grew to resent how girls couldnt be anything but just blank, quiet, pretty things. She thought that was useless and didnt get it, sometimes dressing as a boy and following her brother to his lessons. when it came time for her father to try to look for a suitor for her, she rebelled. Through listening and observation she could guess what each of the suitors wouldnt like, so she became that, sometimes though she just had to be her normal too loud and headstrong for a girl self. When one suitor, a wicked slimy man, actually accepted. He had money, so her patents were half obligated to say yes, though they decided to eat wait fir a bit longer. Cassiopeia then, wanted anybody but that man, did her best to make any last suitors actually like her. A few then asked for her hand, but none had as much money as the wicked slimy man. Orion, her brother, went to their parents on her behalf to convince them to say no, but their family needed the money more and the patents couldnt resist. Cassiopeia was to wed the man at 15, as the man had asked to have her that year. After the wedding though, she couldnt bare it or him, the way he looked at her, touched her. One night she cut one of her wrists, but not to kill herself. She let blood pour out and all over her bed and then a trail to the open window, dragging on of her dresses through it. After she was done she was swaying and dizzy from blood loss, pale as a ghost, but the room looked as if someone had come in and murdered her, taking her body with them. That night Cassiopeia fled into the night, thought to be dead by all her family, but as they had sold her to him, she did not care to see them again anyway. The only regret she had was for her brother, but she didnt dare go back. She got work on boats, knowing how to sail from what she had been young, so long back in those happy free days on the sea. She traveled south. Once she heard of a crew of pirate woman, she made to join, for she didnt just want to cook and clean for the men on the boats, but master the sea herself.
