Bonny Callahan

Biography:
Bonny Lass hails from Ireland and has a long history of life on the sea. Many a year she spent sailing with her
father, Captain Donald Callahan. The spray of the bay on her face. The burning of the sun on her skin. The
choppy swells they conquered. Aye a sailors life for her was a joyful life indeed. Except for the fact that she
hates being wet!

Yes, many a day she spent soaked to the bone, fighting the unmerciful swells, as the waves battered her on the
deck of the ship. There was even a time where she and her kin clung to the capsized hull of their ship, praying
for help to sail their way.

Aye, a sailors life can leave you waterlogged and cold... but the thrill of the adventure always keeps her
boarding the next ship that enters port. Which brings us to how she met Captain Jack Sparrow. Twas an early
spring evening in March when she spotted him on the streets of Tortuga. She recognized him instantly. That
devilish smile, that confident swagger, she had seen it all before. No, not in Jack himself, but, yes, his father
Captain Teague. Oh yes, she knew him well as they had been ship mates many years before.

She summoned up the courage to speak to Jack and tell him of her story, their story, of a short lived romance
on a stormy sea. Jack figured anyone able to keep up with father was worthy of sailing with him.

Truth be telling, Bonny Lass was honored by the invitation and eager to face her next adventure, Sailing with
the right fine Captain Jack Sparrow.

As time passed and with her being one of the most experienced crew members, she took a special interest in
making sure that all of the crew was being treated fairly and that
the Pearl stayed well supplied. With this
being so she was given the position of Quartermaster.

Bonny Lass is an adventure loving soul but still has the renowned Irish temper. She carries only a dagger into
battle because it is said the she likes to be close to her enemies when she runs them through!
