| Appearance |
Annalise stands at 5'2, shorter than her younger sister and older brother. She has a beige complexion with warm undertones, having it only get darker with how much she is outside. She has noticeable freckles on her face that are somewhat heavy, though it leans more towards the medium side of the spectrum. They litter her body on the lighter side, which she is fine with since she feels like she would look odd had they litter her body rather heavily. Just like her skin tone, they get darker the more they are exposed to the sunlight. She has round eyes that definitely pop out against her darker complexion. They are bright ocean blue color, almost like the color of light cerulean. They are framed with dark long, curled lashes.
Her hair is rather thick, having her always pull it off her neck when it is scorching outside. Her sandy blonde hair has coppery highlights here and there, though it isn't really noticeable unless the sunlight hits it in a certain direction. It cascades down her back in loose beach waves, having it stop mid-back. She usually has it off in a side braid or even a ponytail, depending on the weather as well as her mood. She usually has two strands frame her face that is curled in a way. When it is cooler out, she usually has it down and pulled over her shoulder. Most of the time she runs her fingers through her hair to get the knots out as she isn't one to use necessities to try and get them out.
Her cheekbones are chiseled in a way with a heart-shaped face. Her physique is rather petite, yet she definitely has the muscle there. She constantly practices her swordsmanship with her first mate to stay both in shape and to stay fresh on her moves, even if he looses against her majority of the time. She has a button nose and semi-full reddish lips that compliment her rather well. She has noticeable dimples on her cheeks when she smiles. Even when her lips are in a grim line the dimples are still there. She hates them in a way when she is being tough since they seem to make her features softer. Though, she will admit that she will occasionally pokes her fingers in her dimples when she is looking in the mirror and is by herself. She won't admit that to anyone though. She has perfectly shaped eyebrows, yet her teeth are somewhat yellowish, but not that noticeable, yet they are straight.
She does have piercings believe it or not. Most of her crew do. She has two silver hoops on both of her earlobes and then two more in the cartilage of her left ear. She does have a tattoo of a compass on her right wrist, but that is about it. Like any pirate out there, she has scars. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Most of them are rather small that litter her body, though most are on her hands from always punching things when she was younger among other things as well. She wouldn't be able to begin to describe how she got them. She has one that runs along her jaw on her right side of her face, which she tends to avoid touching as it brings back bad memories.
Her clothing is usually the same regardless of where she goes. The colors just change, if that makes sense. She usually wears a pair of black pants, a colored -mostly white or red- off the shoulder long-sleeve shirt, and a pair of knee-high boots. The sheath for her sword wraps around the waistband of her jeans with a pistol tucked in the front. She then wears a black captain's hat, of course. It wouldn't complete her outfit if she didn't have that. Her clothing is usually light since she isn't one who likes to get overheated. The only time she ever wears a skirt let alone a dress is if, for some reason, she is attending something that is rather formal.
| Personality |
Annalise is, well, Annalise. She does have an issue of trusting someone too fast. No matter how many times she reminds herself to take it slow and see what they are truly like, she always ends up failing. That is definitely her flaw. You would think after getting stabbed in the back so many times she would have a hard time trusting people. It is the opposite, really. Though, loyalty means everything to her. If you break it, there is no way in hell you are going to be getting it back. Why should they when they proved they can't do it the first time around? Sure, she may trust you and not tell you much, but she won't be loyal to you if you have broken that.
On top of trusting people, she is rather stern at first. She has to be just to get through a person's head that she might be kind, but she will have your head if you push her the wrong way or harm her crew. Once she learns a bit more about you, she is rather caring, polite, and even like a naturing mother in a way. Not completely as she isn't one who likes to take care of grown ass men who act like damn children. If someone needs a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen, she will be right there next to you for it. If someone needs to have some sense knocked into them, she will gladly do it. Above anything, she will do anything for you if you are a part of her crew or if she trusts you with her life.
Now, the rumors about her being ruthless, merciless, and doesn't give a damn about anything is also true. You are the military, she won't show any soldier mercy even if they beg for it. The same goes for rival pirates. If you are hurting anyone she cares about, she won't give a damn if you tell her you have a family you want to return to. She would only say that you should've thought about your actions before acting on them. Ruthless? Certainly. She has killed men who have stolen her gun off the table in a bar or her hat from off her head. She doesn't like people stealing what belongs to her.
Above all, she likes to please people, even if it might anger some other people in the process. Usually, she doesn't have a problem with that since the majority of her crew gets along and never seems to try to talk back to her about something. She definitely is one that doesn't really like the spotlight very much, yet here she is being the captain of her ship. Funny really, yet she enjoys it. If she is the spotlight of anything else, she tends to shy away and try to blend into the crowd if possible. She is patient, usually, unless she is in some odd mood where someone popping their knuckles causes her to snap at them. That is usually when she has to deal with the crew not doing their jobs, a headache, or if someone is bold enough to challenge her.
She is very observant, having her eyes watch everything rather closely. She talks with sarcasm, yet also in a gentle tone unless you are someone she hasn't met yet. She is quick to make a comeback with her silver tongue, though she sometimes bites back if it is a rather heated conversation. She will take risks no matter what it is, even if she might think she won't be able to do it. She can definitely be a bit harsh with her words by bluntly stating the obvious or not bothering to sugar-coat an answer to spare your feelings. You are a damn pirate for fuck's sake.
| Fear(s) |
Annalise doesn't really have fears. Well, she doesn't consider them fears as she isn't deathly afraid of them. One thing she definitely doesn't care about is rats and mice. They are nasty little buggers that carry diseases and steal their food supplies.
| Allergies |
- Strawberries; throat swells up to where she can't breath; emergency
- Flowers; runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing; mild
- Silver/Wolfsbane; burns, swells, and heavily bleeds if wounded; severe/emergency
| Likes |
Annalise loves the open sea and the freedom that it gives her, the wind through her hair, the saltwater hitting her face, dogs, rum, practicing swordsmanship, cooking if the cook lets her, sweats, and children somewhat.
| Dislikes |
Annalise hates the military, thinking that they can keep her behind bars, monkeys, dresses/skirts, people demeaning her because she is a woman and a captain on top of that, people using her, and people being unloyal to her.

| Werewolf Info |
Just like any Werewolf lore about there, silver and wolfsbane kills them. Now, shooting them in the heart with silver bullets will kill them but isn't the exact way to do so. You could shoot them in the lung with silver or even a major artery and it will kill them. It even causes them to heal more slowly and actually leaves scars as well. Now, if they were to touch silver, it doesn't burn them so no one would know what they truly are without either shooting or stabbing them with silver.
Now, unlike the lore saying that they shift without control and on a full moons night or some shit like that, that is all false. They are able to shift when they please without having the fear of exposing their secret. They are able to control themselves as a wolf, having their minds be intact on what they are doing and what they might do next. Now, all the lies about them being this human-wolf creature thing is a whole load of shit as well. They are like wolves, yet they are much larger than, let's say, a Timber Wolf. They are actually a bit larger than a fully grown Grizzly Bear on all four legs.
Now, there's also the lore saying that Werewolves have mates. That is technically true. Most of them never find their other halves as it is a big world out there. Though, there are some that are lucky enough to find their other half. Even if they find their other half, they don't have to accept them as their mate. Most of them do, but there are rare times they don't. Now, if their other half ends up rejecting them, then that is that for them. They never have a second chance of getting a second mate. Now, there have been tales that say there has been a few of them that have had a second chance, but that is still to remain heard by everyone's ears. Even if their other half rejects them, they don't end up dying or anything like the lore says. Instead, they just end up living their life even if they might be heartbroken for a while.
They are not born a Werewolf at birth. They learn about their history and what it means to be a Werewolf as they are growing up. Though, they don't know if they inherited the Werewolf genes until their sixteenth birthday. They are either going to shift for the first time or they are going to remain a human for the rest of enternity. Now, they will never age once they hit the age of twenty-one unless they stop shifting. Once they stop shifting, they start to age once again. Let's say they stop shifting for twenty years and then after all that time, they start shifting again. Whatever age they are at that time, they will stay that age unless they stop shifting once again.
| Other |
Annalise was from a rather wealthy family before she left them to venture out onto the seas with her brother. They were rather displeased with them, but she didn't care. Her sister, Melissa, on the other hand, went off and married the governor's son. That was a bit before their parents passed away. After being with Lazslo for a few years, she separated from him and ended up getting her own ship and crew. It was difficult at first, but eventually, they learned to respect her, especially since they know Laszlo would have their heads if they didn't. She still sees her brother often, but as for her sister, not very much. Just by associating with her, Melissa could be hanged for it, something that neither of the siblings wanted. Though, she will send her a letter whenever they come to shore to stock up on items.
Even though silver burns her when she is cut with it, she still got the silver piercings that she has in her ears. Sure, it hurt like all hell when she got them, but for her, it was worth it. As for her wolf, she is as dark as a ravens feather, blending easily with the shadows and in the dead of night. The only part of her that isn't black is the tips of her ears and tail and then her paws, which are white.
The only person that knows what she truly is, is her first mate. That's only because he's a Vampire. Sure, they should be mortal enemies and all that, but they are the closest of friends despite the circumstances. Of course, they only act as close friends behind close doors and rarely in front of the crew. The places she is usually able to shift is in her quarters as well as the deck when it's pitch black outside and no one is able to see her. Then there is land whenever they make port. That's the only time she is able to run around without being in a confined space.
