 Captain Buccaneer Booty Betty: The True Pirate Queen

A debatable question that’s asked across multiple historians is “Who would be considered the real pirate queen?”. A buccaneer that not only looks as dashing as one in royalty, but one who knows all ins and outs when it comes to piracy. Now, when asked, you’ll get the usual answers “Anne Bonny” and “Mary Read”, or (if the person REALLY has done last night’s homework) “Ching Shif”. But there’s one that’s always hidden away from every pre-1st edition history book. An ex-sailor who’s so infamously dangerous and reckless that she’ll scare the head right off Blackbeard. Her name’s O’l Betty Jenkins, or as it says on her Piracy license “Captain Buccaneer Booty Betty”.

Don’t let the name fool you into thinking she’s just some common tavern wench who decided to play dress-up. She got that name from just HOW she gets the aforementioned Booty. She quietly steps onto the dock of a local town or island in the middle of the night, removes some of her more visible pirate accessories so she looks the part of a local sexy woman, and (in her most attractive and sweetest voice), asks for some love. When everyone in the bar comes near, she quickly strikes and knocks out all of them (with her fists of course), plunders EVERYTHING they got, and gets away with her crew on her grand ship “The Betty Roger”. 

She’s always one who’ll do anything to get her hands into two things: treasure and rum. She’ll drink as many bottles of rum as you can think and sing away her glory plunders in a drunken manner (with the slight intoxicated hiccup here and there). When an enemy ship (or more usually a ship that just so happens to cross her path) comes near, she raises the flag now covered in red food coloring, a sign of no-return for the ones who dare to face her in person. She adores a nice battle, especially so she can rub it in the captive’s faces that she now owns their possessions. Although sometimes, she would get alittle too power-hungry for her liking, much to her crew’s dismay. So, they commit a mutiny upon her and sentence her by either hanging from the yardarm or by feeding the hungry sea creatures after she walks the plank. She swears and cries for revenge, but she also knows after a minute whose fault it is (and if she does refuse to be fair to her royal pirate brothers and sisters, she’ll never get to plunder again), so she gives in to their understandable demands.

(Why did I write an entire character synopsis for artwork of Betty when this isn't even her full-time pirate alter ego)
