A girl looked over the edge of the rowboat she sat in, sighing as she rowed past the wreckage of a pirate ship.
As she shook her head sadly, her rich crimson hair fell out of the loose bun that she had pulled it into earlier in the day. She quickly plaited her thick waist-length hair.
Her deep brown eyes darkened as she saw land.
"No, no." she murmured into the misty air.
Glaring at the strip of society in her sight, the young lady set out toward it, very determined.
Only a mile off shore, she realized that wherever she landed, she would look rather out of place.
Sighing dejectedly, she pulled a bottle of rum out of the chest beside her that held her belongings. She gulped down half of the bottle, put the lid back on, and then tossed it back into the chest.
"There's really no chance that I could be headed towards Tortuga, is there? Damn my thrice damned luck."
The young woman paddled to the docks, pulled the rowboat ashore, and then tugged her chest behind her as she strolled into Port Royal.
People were staring at her as she walked through the town looking for a place to spend the night.
She definitely stood out amongst the citizens, a real sight to see.
Many residents studied her, they had never seen a girl like her before. Wearing a baggy black ripped shirt, baggy slightly torn dark blue shorts with a black cloth belt to hold them up, knee-high black boots with two-inch heels, a black arm band around her right wrist and a red one around her left, and a black bandana around her head, she appeared calm and disassociated.
When she turned her head to look at a sign, her earrings became visible; three pure gold earrings in her right ear, and two golden earrings and a silver one in her left ear.
At her short stature of only five feet and five inches, she did appear to be a challenge, and the wrong person to provoke a fight with.
As the newly-wed blacksmith, Will Turner, came sprinting down the path, obviously not paying attention, he collided with the girl, knocking her backward and beside her case. He, however, was able to keep his balance.
The residents of Port Royal stared in shock, and anticipated a brawl.
