Hi! I'm Ana! I'm fifteen years old and I am a pirate. I work on Jack Sparrow's ship, the Black Pearl. He is like a father to me, you see, my parents died when I was just a little girl, about four years old. My parents were wonderful people! Oh no, they weren't pirates! My father was a blacksmith and my mother was a chambermaid. Not ideal jobs, but they were the nicest people in the port, from what I have been told. Jack said he knew them personally. And every once and a while, he tells me a different story about them, whether it was about how my dad saved old man Jenkins or how my mother cleaned the governor's house. I remember the day they died, well, not the day they died, just the day I found out they died. Once a year, they would go on a trip for a month to sell father's swords. They were stopped at Tortuga and a fight had broken out. My parents were caught in the crossfire. They were both shot and killed. Jack happened to be in the area and heard what had happened. He came to tell my family about the unfortunate fate o my parents. I had...well...have a brother too. His name is Eric. He is five years older than me. So now he is about twenty years old. When my parents died he was nine, just old enough to remember them. I remember him more than I remember my parents. They were almost always at work or on trips, so Eric and I had to take care of ourselves. He would cook and I would clean, we made a good team. Anyway, I wandered onto Jack's ship when he was in port to tell us the news, and he just didn't have the heart to throw me off. He and his crew (mostly Jack) raised me as their own and here I am. I try to be part of the crew like everybody else but Jack always favors me. He tells me to tidy up the ship and that is all I need to do. I am also the only girl and the youngest on the crew, so everyone kind of favors me. The only bad thing about being the girl and the youngest is that I never get to fight anyone (even though I am the best sword fighter on the ship besides Jack). Ok, now that I've told you all you need to know for now...let's get on with the story!
