Biography

Born a goddess, Belladanna offered fertility and war to those who worshiped the gods; she was known for her beauty and kind loving nature. Belladanna lived in Folkvang, a beautiful godly world with fields of green, mountains, and rivers of blue and plenty of sun shine. Belladanna spent the first half of her life living amongst the gods and traveling between the worlds to be with her beloved human husband. During these times of love and joy, there was also pain for amongst the humans wars were breaking out all over the land killing many warriors. In the fall of 1684 her husband joined the fight joining the French forces alongside King Louis XIV. By May of 1685 her husband was dead, his life coming to an ending by a spear to the heart. Belladanna was heartbroken and cried a river of gold onto the land of France where her husband lost his life and was buried. Alone and weakened by grief Belladanna decided to flee the god’s world and vanish amongst the humans, since she spent most of her life living amongst them she felt safe to hide amongst them. Belladanna had used her falcon feathered coat to travel between the worlds, and now she will use it one last time to remain in the human world. Belladanna said farewell to her two beloved cats, and after seven years of loyal service, she granted them their one wish to become witches and live amongst the humans. Belladanna arrived in Brittany, France in the winter of 1685 and began her new quiet life as a peasant. A local family took her in to their home and supported her quiet life without question to her origins. The family taught Belladanna about their culture, arts and their religion, that interesting enough had little knowledge of her or the other gods she used to know, they called it Christianity. In return to their knowledge, Belladanna taught them some of her magic and helped them to see the good in everyone they encountered. Belladanna enjoyed her life with this loving family but in the summer of 1700 she knew she had to leave them, for they were growing older as she remained the same. With fear of causing panic in the family she again fled, leaving the land of Brittany, France. In her wanderings of France she learned many skills in the art of the written word and quickly became a skilled scribe. She was known by many and became a documenter for many war generals, and those who ruled the lands. In 1710 Belladanna decided to leave France altogether, for she had become fascinated with the sea which she heard and read about and wanted to experience in real life. Belladanna loved the sea, and she traveled on her own for many years, but now she heads to the ocean shore to seek a Captain that would take her on board. Days went by and then finally she found a Captain that would accept her onto the crew but, only if she would agree to completing tasks and work hard on the ship and eventually become the crews scribe. Belladanna agreed to these terms since writing had become a passion for her it seemed to all fit together. She surprised but slightly shocked when the Captain announced, “Ahoy mates, we have acquired a female pirate to our ranks”. Captain Amon chuckled and said to Belladanna, “Welcome to the sausage fest, this is Stalkie McGroper; he is going to be your new captain, for I be stepping down”. Looking at her new Captain Belladanna smiles while Captain McGroper says, “Welcome to the crew my lady you now belong to The Blood Eagle”. Wandering the seas with her crew, Belladanna was content and happy, moving up the ranks from a scribe to the Quartermaster. As what normally happens, the Captain was ready to retire like the one before him, Captain McGroper made an announcement to the crew, and inform them that he was stepping down. No one in the crew wanted McGroper to leave, so he decided he would stay on the ship as a fellow crew member. At that moment McGroper turns to his First Mate, Fin McEwok, “You have done well as my right hand man, now it is your turn to run this crew, listen to them and honor them in the best of your abilities.” Fin McEwok accepts the responsibility to become Captain McEwok, and names Belladanna his First Mate and late names Gypsy as his Quarter Master. More years pass in happiness and plundering. Then the time came for Captain McEwok to step down from his captaincy, he thought to himself, “Who would make the best captain for my crew?” He decided to talk to Belladanna and see if she wanted to become the Captain, at first Belladanna said no, but after some time she changed her mind, “I am ready to take over command.” The crew set sail for the docs to make the announcement to the fleet. However, word spreads fast, and the news of Captain McEwok decision reached the shores long before the Blood Eagle docked. Many people did not believe that Belladanna could be a good Captain, so they slandered her name to all who would listen. Once the Blood Eagle docked on the shores, Captain McEwok was bombarded by other pirates, they told him about all the rumors spreading about Belladanna. In a rash of emotions, Captain McEwok decided not to make Belladanna Captain, and offered the position to a longtime friend, Uriel McShiney. Uriel was currently a First Mate on another ship, The Dreadnaught, but he accepted Captain McEwok’s offer. After some time, Captain McEwok, approached Belladanna and told her of the rumors and his decision to offer the Captaincy to Uriel. Heartbroken, Belladanna could not believe that her Captain, after so many years, actually believed the rumors about her. Belladanna thought about leaving this pirate group all together, but was then approached by the Captain Zatara, “You can come to my ship, if you feel your time is up on the Blood Eagle.” Belladanna smiles at the Captain, “I would like that, can I be a scribe again?” Laughing, Captain Zatara accepts her onto his crew as the new Scribe. A couple years goes by and Belladanna is content on The Dreadnaught. But, the lingering feeling of not belonging has hung on her heart since the rumors took her from her last ship. Saddened by the back stabbing, Belladanna turned to the drink. Captain Zatara new there was an issue with his newest member, but he was unsure how to help, there were many other issues happening recently. His First Mate Halfmoon was being difficult. The First Mate wanted to be Captain, and he kept trying to tell Zatara that the crew did not want him as Captain anymore. Zatara knew that his First Mate was lying, for he had already talked to his crew, no one wanted Halfmoon to be their Captain. With that knowledge, Captain Zatara told his First Mate that he could not be Captain, and in a huff, Halfmoon left the ship in search for another crew to manipulate. At this time Captain Zatara named Belladanna as his new First Mate. As the time passes Belladanna becomes sadder and sadder, she watches as the fleet attacks her Captain with slander, lies, and rumors. She remembers the many times before, that the fleet attacked good people, to chase them away. Many good people left the group to maintain their health and their sanity. It takes a lot of will power to walk away from a group you love, but when they decide to gang together and attack, it is also heartbreaking. With her drinking, at least Belladanna is an amusing drunk. She always does the silliest things when she drinks. Captain Zatara has always tried to keep her from harming herself, but one night… she finds a way to slip off. Captain Zatara sees his First Mate, Belladanna, drunk as usual. This time, she was talking to herself. Laughing, Zatara ducks into his quarters to grab a drink, he had planned to join his First Mate on the deck. By the time Zatara made it back onto the deck, Belladanna had disappeared. “Where on earth did she go? I was only gone three minutes.” Zatara says to himself, confused. Suddenly he hears a splashing noise, and realizes that someone has taken the rowboat. Peering over the edge of the ship, Zatara notices Belladanna is the one in the rowboat, “Where the hell are you going? You are too drunk to row that thing, get back up here.” Belladanna ignores her Captain. Belladanna heard her Captain yelling at her, but she could not stop. That stupid mermaid was back and she had to catch it. All it does is torment her, and mock her. That damn mermaid had to die. Belladanna was yelling at the mermaid on the deck, when it suddenly jumped out of the water and slapped her in the face. Furious Belladanna grabber her gun and sword and headed to the rowboat. “I will get you this time, you… you… bitch.” Belladanna watches as the mermaid splashes around in the middle of the sea, she starts to row after it. As Belladanna gets closer, she can hear the mermaid taunting her yet again, “You can’t catch me, you are too slow, and too dumb.” Frustrated and annoyed, Belladanna row’s faster. She is now only a few feet away from the mermaid when suddenly a huge wave crashes into the rowboat. Another wave hits the boat, this time flipping it over, Belladanna falls into the water. The mermaid approaches Belladanna and laughs, “You fell for my trap… I told you… you are dumb.” Belladanna lashes out at the mermaid but misses. Staring blankly into the sea, Belladanna thinks to herself, “Should I go back?” She lowers her head when she realizes there is nothing to go back to. Captain Ogre and Captain Moon show up in the waters beside her. They look at her with and understanding of pain. Ogre put a hand on her shoulder and said, “You have done all you can, it is time to come home.” Nodding, she takes a deep breath and water rushed into her lungs. Surprised, Belladanna did not feel any pain or struggle to breath, she just felt… peace.
