The main character of this story is Marietta Crowe, age 20. She is of average height with tan skin. Her hair is like silk, soft and smooth, but darker than the heart of the Devil. In the right light, her brown eyes can sparkle like diamonds, but Marietta was not one to fool with. She is the Captain of the Barracuda, one of the fastest ships out there that boarded one of the most feared and mysterious crews ever. She is known as Captain Crow due to the fact that every town she pillages, she leaves behind only death.

Marietta is usually found wearing a long black coat over her off-the shoulder white blouse, loosely fitting black pants, and lace-up boots along with a black tricorne (a three cornered hat) that had been rumored to have the blood of her first victim stained into its surface and a black bandana. Around her neck she wears a single golden heart locket that is believed to hold the secret to her ultimate weakness. She also carries a sword with her that she had stolen from the third city she had raided, Port Royal.

Unlike most pirate crews that sailed the seven seas, Marietta's crew was mainly women with very few male members that she had believed to be useful. She does not take kindly to any of her crew since her trust had been broken many years before, but it is suspected that Marietta is starting to grow fond of one of her female members, Rose Cunningham. Marietta bestowed the nickname of Poison Ivy onto Rose because Rose was both beautiful and dangerous.

Not many know of Marietta's past, and those who did know something of her past, ended up being slain by her own two hands. Marietta has strived long and hard to keep her secrets at bay for she feared that if her past or her secrets fell into the wrong hands, she was to be doomed to death.

There is a widely known fact that has spread across the waters about Marietta's main enemy. No one understands why or how she came to hate her enemy so dearly, but many know that if they were to ever cross paths, one of them would not come out alive. Ever since she hit the high seas, she has promised that one day she will take the life of none other than the famous Captain Jack Sparrow.
