CURRENT CHARACTERS: Cassandra Cain, Carley
CHARACTER
CHARACTER NAME: Anne Bonny
SERIES: Assassin's Creed
CANON POINT: Post-game
LOSS: Ability to read maps or remember where cities and ports are on them. While it might not prove a big hindrance in Paradisa itself, the knowledge that she can't anymore, that one of the basic duties of a quartermaster has been taken from her, will cause her a great deal of self doubt and strife. After all, what kind of navigator can't navigate?
ABOUT THE CHARACTER:
Anne left Ireland at a young age, married young, and ended up in Nassau by the time she was sixteen. It was there that she flourished, growing into a young woman with a passion for life and a desire to live it to the fullest. Working at a tavern where great men came and plotted their plots for a free Nassau, a free life where they could do as they chose, it opened her eyes to a lifestyle that could be so much more fulfilling than being married to a man who was quickly becoming more and more of a bother.
She was the object of much attention while in Nassau, but contrary to popular belief she didn't take on many lovers and none were as interesting as Jack Rackham. His flirting was painfully obvious and something that amused her, but it was ultimately his profession - that of a pirate - that truly drew her to him. She learned to handle a pistol from him, but in the end it was James Kidd who really shaped her into the pirate she would become.
Once Anne learned that James was really Mary Read, a woman who lived the same as men like Edward Kenway and all those other fearsome pirates, the spark was struck for good. She took to learning everything she could from Mary, a mentor who was more interested in seeing her come into her own than anyone had been before that. Sure Rackham encouraged her rough ways, but it was Mary who honed them and made her into a proper pirate.
The three of them took up together and quickly Anne Bonny and Mary Read became an infamous pair, and it's not a stretch to say that those days were likely the best ones of Anne's life. Doing as she pleased with her lover and her closest friend, free to live a life on the sea far away from everything that had held her back and made life so dull once before.
But it couldn't last. After a hard battle Mary and Anne were beaten by the English navy and brought to prison, where they revealed they were both pregnant to avoid a hanging. True to herself to a fault, Anne taunted the judge by promising to keep getting pregnant each time she was up for trial again, but in the end that stay was her first and only. After a daring rescue, Anne managed to escape, but it wasn't without great cost. She lost Mary on that day, and shortly after her son was born he passed away as well.
A broken woman, Anne was taken in by the Assassins to recover and it was then that she learned about Edward's true calling. Instead of letting herself be mired in sadness over all of the loss she had felt, she joined him as his quartermaster to fight beside him against the Templars to ensure the freedom that she had so fought for wouldn't be taken away from every man and woman.
Though her time in prison cooled her a little, her fire hasn't gone out completely. Quick-witted and with little patience for fools, she has no problem telling off anyone who displeases her with a vocabulary that's only benefited from the additions of such a rough and tumble lifestyle. She can hold her own in a fight and outside of one, but she isn't without her soft side as well. Whether it's playfully flirting or standing beside someone because she knows they have it in them to improve, she'll always be there to support those she cares about however she can.
ABILITIES: No super powers or anything like that, but she can wield a sword and shoot a pistol just fine. She's also got some experience on ships, being that she was partnered up with Mary and Rackham and later on, was Edward's quartermaster.
THIRD-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE:
The boat ride, it's certainly not the first for Anne. There was the one from Cork, the one from the colonies with her first Jack, the one from Nassau with the second, Rackham. Countless others all between, less memorable shipmates, some as she could even call family.
None were like this. Wracked with pain, Mary there, lifeless, head moving in time with the lap of the waves against the sides of their little boat. Ahead of her, Ah Tabai rows on. There's a fire in her belly and burning behind her eyes and her cheeks are wet. She can't seem to forget the look on Edward's face, the slump of his shoulders once he'd turned away.
Mary's pretty head nods along with the rocking of the boat. She could be sleeping, if only her chest would move. Anne slides down off her seat and into the bottom of the boat, aware of the dull sound of Ah Tabai's voice warning her no, the baby, but she knows better. This baby, Rackham's boy, it's not long for the world now.
Edward, they could have named him. Not another Jack, for certain. She lifts Mary's head now, smoothing her hair back and letting it rest in her lap, what there is of one now that her stomach is all swollen with child.
There was a song her Ma used to sing her, Anne remembers. Way back when she was little, some old Irish lullaby on the nights where she couldn't get to sleep, but the words don't come to her. She hums the melody instead, keeps Mary safe with her, and lets Ah Tabai take them where he will.
Maybe if she just closes her eyes, all this will have been a dream. She can hope that, can't she?
FIRST-PERSON JOURNAL SAMPLE: Samples here and here on the test drive.
INTENT: I love characters that are as strong as Anne is despite the lot they've been given by life, and her dynamics with the cast already in the game are ones I'm dying to explore more. Plus why not balance out this sausage party of an asscreed cast with another totally awesome kickass lady?
