Background: Having been raised on the seas on a pirate ship after running away as a child, Shomi quickly learned to be strong and not show his emotions around people. around the age of 16, he learned about what to say to women to get them to give him the attention he yearned for and saw the other men recieving when they were in port. When he turned 20, the captain of the ship that he now owned died and left the ship to him, leaving him in charge of the crew. He let those who wished to leave the ship, leaving only two of the original crew with him. They found more crew members within time and eventually had everything they ever needed either from stealing from or raiding other ships they came across, or from trading and buying things. During Shomi's travels, he had come across a pure grey kitten with unusual eyes, and soon found that it had a hidden talent: being able to talk. The kitten soon became Shomi's best friend.

Height:5'6"

appearance: Long deep purple hair with soft curls, Violet eyes, Pale skin, Soft pink lips, Looks frail but is strong. Hair is worn in a ponytail.
Background: Amira comes from a large wealthy family, along with her mother and father she has 3 older siblings a sister and 2 brothers all of whom are married, Her father who was willing to give her hand to the highest bidder, Is forcing her into marriage with a Prince to another country. She has decided to run away. She lives just off the port where ships are almost always docked.

Shomi was out in a town with most of his crew one evening. They had just docked and gotten off the ship. They would stay the night at the city, but they needed to order a few things. They had just had a fight with another ship, won easily after finding that most of them had Scurvy, and took all of their gold. Shomi never really flew a flag on his ship, so when they docked, it wasn't anything unusual for the townspeople. Shomi wandered around the shopping district, ordering crates of food for their two week journey, and other various supplies. He ordered crate of fabrics, limes, lemons, apples, various meats, flour, sugar, oats, and anything else he thought the ship needed. He bought a few skillets, knives, and pans for the galley, had three of his men take the kitchen things and set them on the ship where they belonged, and bought a few more button up shirts. He had given the crew money to go buy the things they needed or wanted, but he figured most of the money would be spent on alcohol. Once he was done buying supplies, he stocked up on the different types of alcohol that he had stored in a room in the back of his quarters. He gathered two other men to help him carry the liquor to the ship a few times before letting them go do what they wanted. after that, he ordered a couple crates of cat food, one of dry food and the other of wet food. Once he was done, he went and bought a few drinks from a bar, talked with his men, and retired to his ship with most of the men for the night. Upon arriving at the ship, he stumbled to his room, loked his door behind him, and found his bed, and in it, his best friend, Arashi the cat.

"well hello, Arashi! Enjoyying your nap?" he said, slurring his words slightly. He seemed happy, though most of it was the alcohol talking. he was a little buzzed, but not drunk. He sat on his bed and started to derobe himself.

"You've been drinking a little bit, i see." said Arashi. The cat scratched his ear and walked into Shomi's lap. "You should sleep once you're done taking your shoes and socks off. I'll wake you in the morning before dawn." Arashi put his paw on shomi's hand and sort of guided it to shomi's foot, allowing shomi to take off his shoes and socks before turning to put his front paws on Shomi's Chest, pushing Shomi onto the bed. "you're not that drunk, stop acting like it."

Shomi smiled and turned so he was in the bed properly and fell asleep shortly.

Amira was sent to bed after dinner when she entered her room she had a small linen bag laying on the bed. She had packed some of her brothers clothes and a hat. She had also packed personal items. She knew that her nanny would be up to check on her any minute. She quickly hid the bag and changed into a pair of pants and shirt. She was lucky to have a small build. After her nanny left the room she quickly tucked her hair into a hat and crept out of the window of her room and dropped to the floor with the bag slung over her shoulder. She quietly ran through the yard as she headed toward the port. Once she arrived she quietly boarded a ship and slipped through the ship until she found the supply room and stowed behind some cases.

The next morning, as promised, Arashi woke Shomi up before dawn. He got out of bed, washed up, and got dressed. He had sent Arashi to go wake up the rest of the crew. Once everyone was awake, they started loading the supplies onto the ship's deck. Shomi finally appeared on the deck, and went up to the wheel and said loudly, so the crew could hear him. "We're taking off! We can eat later and put this stuff away after we're out of the area, But for Now, Lets get ourselves out of here!" he made sure they had packed everything onto the hip before taking off. He watched as the lights from the port got smaller and smaller until they vanished and the sun started to rise. Shomi pulled two men aside from their duties to help him move the meats into the refrigerated section of the cargo hold. Once that was done, he had them help bring down the large cases of everything else. They had enough food to last them two weeks. Once they were done, Shomi dismissed the men and started putting the meat in the freezer except for enough for that nights and the next night's meals. The next day he would pull out more meat.

"Shomi... Someone else is here..." said Arashi, climbing on top of a crate. his tail twitched in the direction of the stowaway.

Shomi looked at Arashi and moved a few crates to see the stowaway. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her up before she knew what was going on. "well, well, well... What do we have here?" he was still holding her tightly by the wrist with her arm up in the air.

Amira was jolted awake as someone quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up as if she were a doll, her thoughts raced and her heart pounded as a male voice drifted through her ears. She quickly looked around as her eyes landed on the man holding her hand above her head. She quickly stumbled over her words. "I... I am so sorry.. Please don't hurt me.. I am a runaway. I came on to your ship last night." Her breathing was coming in quick sharp breaths as her thoughts raced. While she was looking around frantically her hat fell off and her hair cascaded around her shoulders. Her eyes finally settled on his. Her eyes were soft and tears brimmed her eyes. "Can you please let go of my arm? Your hurting me."

Shomi loosened his grip, but didn't let go. He held on tight enough so that she couldn't break free, but not so tight that it hurt. " you tell anyone that i loosened up you're dead, got it?" his eyes looked at her fiercely and his jaw was set. "Run away, eh?" he hid his emotions, but knew what that was like, because he had run away himself when he was about five years old. "you're on a pirate ship, Lass." Shomi smiled menacingly.

"ask if she can do anything useful." said Arashi.

Shomi looked at Arashi as he spoke. "Well, can you? I know you can hear Arashi. Can you cook? sew? clean? or are you a spoiled brat?" he asked, seeing one of the crew members come down to the cargo hold.

"What have you found, Captain?" asked the older man. He was one of the two original pirates that was loyal to Shomi. In fact, this particular pirate was shomi's teacher in reading and writing, and understanding money.

"found a stowaway, Jack. I'm asking her if she's useful." replied Shomi.

Amira took a deep breath and set herself her posture straight and hard. "I will have you know not only can i cook clean and sew i am sure i can handle a sword and a gun better than half of your men," Her look was fierce and her eyes suddenly turned cold. She knew that as long as she could hold her own she would be fine. This was the point she was thankful that her grandfather had taught her to fight. She was not put off by the talking cat. Amira could not help but wonder why the captain had not killed her on the spot like her father claimed the pirates so often did.

"looks like we have a spoiled useful brat, Jack!" said Shomi, looking towards jack. "Tell the crew that they don't have to cook anymore and to bring their badly ripped clothes to the galley, when you're done finding what you are looking for."

"Aye, Captain." replied jack before finding a ream of paper and leaving.

"Any other person on this ship, or any other pirate ship you would be dead. Well, you'd be ridiculed first, and then killed." said Arashi.

"arashi's right, you know," said Shomi, releasing the girl's wrist. "here's the deal. I either kill you now, or you work for me until you either run away at the next port in two weeks -if you still want to by then, or you work for me and live a good life, earning your stay by cooking and sewing and occasionally cleaning." he said, not telling her that she would have help. his lime green eyes pierced into hers as he thought about his own running away when he was a boy. "come with me, i'll take you to the galley and let you figure out some breakfast for everyone. oatmeal works, though we do have some other things you can cook if you wanted to." he turned to leave as Arashi jumped onto his shoulders and sat down.

Amira followed him. "What else are my options for breakfast?" As they walked she decided she would stay for the two weeks but she couldn't stay on a pirate ship. She was however very interested in this Captain. She could sense that there was something about him, A reason he was being nice. She was determined to find out not to mention he was cute. As that thought passed through her mind her cheeks turned a pale shade of red. She was also interested in the cat. She had seen them before so it didn't scare her but she was very curious.

Shomi shrugged the shoulder that Arashi wasn't on, "up to you. we don't really have much meat for breakfast, but you can make sausage with spices, we have eggs if you need them, and we have powdered milk of you need that. Most of us usually drink coffee in the morning, which i make, so you don't have to worry about that. those of us who don't require coffee make their own juice or lemonade from the apples and lemons and limes and sugar. When we run out of meat, we fish or if we're lucky, we'll run across another ship and take or trade things for fresh meat. but that usually doesn't happen too often. If you hadn't noticed, we're not like what the stories people say, though we can be heartless and ruthless, if we have to. We're people too, we just have a different moral code than most of society." he stopped talking to open the door to the galley. Shomi had kept the galley clean, and made his crew do the same. He kept the appliances up to date too. the galley had granite counter tops and chrome appliances.

"if you don't mind, Captain, I'll keep the lady company while you tend to other things." said arashi, looking content. He Jumped off of shomi's shoulder and landed on the counter. "That is, if she wants company while she cooks." Arashi had something in mind, wanting to talk to the girl, get to know her. Of course he would tell Shomi everything unless the girl told him not to tell anyone. He looked up at the girl and blinked slowly, his teal bue eyes staring at her.

As they walked toward the galley. "How many people are on board?" She asked as she was calculating what she was going to make. Her grandfather in his youth was a farm hand. He stated the best breakfast for a hard working man was a breakfast casserole. It had diced potatoes, eggs, sausage, and veggies. She also had a recipe for apple cinnamon oatmeal that slow cooked all night. It went great with eggs. She enjoyed cooking, though her father disapproved, He stated that they hired people to do such things at that she need not learn them. But she enjoyed her time in the kitchen with the chef he taught her many meals. Once they arrived in the galley she went straight to work. She pulled her long hair up into a bun on top of her head and put on an apron. Amira nodded in agreement. "I would love company. Plus i am sure you know more of where things are than i do." She quickly went to clean her hands before searching for pots and pans.

Shomi nodded and left, letting Arashi answer her question. " including you, ten. You don't have to cook for me, though i would appreciate a little sausage if you're making any..." he trailed off. watching her wash her hands. he walked across the counter to the sink. "can you put the water on low? I would like to wash my paws a little as well, without using my tongue." he figured he would be really cute about it and bat at it cutely before shaking his paws off and taking a drink from the faucet. "and what are you looking for?"

Amria turned the water onto low as she wiped her hands on a towel by the sink. She then began to look through drawers she found some knives and cutting boards. " I need a 9x13 pan, potatoes, any sort of vegetables, ground pork, eggs, and cheese if you have it." She watched the cat as it cleaned its paws and took a drink. "So what exactly was your motive to staying with me while i cook?" Her violet eyes catching the light as the gleamed.

"9x13 baking pan is under the cupboard by the oven. There should be some good cheese in the fridge, as well as the veggies, pork, and eggs, and the potatoes are in the cargo bay in a crate. And... Motive? I believe you have me mistaken, miss...?" he was asking her for her name. he really just wanted information and some pork that hopefully wasn't burnt. the only ones who could cook were shomi and Jack, and they didn't cook very often. Everyone else usually had at least one burnt component, especially if it was meat. There was a large container of salt next to the stove/oven appliance for when they burnt things too badly and there was a grease fire. Arashi walked to the back of the sink and turned off the water.

Amira shuffled around gathering the things she needed. "Wright. Amira Wright." First she started the oven to preheat, then put the pork in the pan and seasoned it then started to chop the potatoes quickly then moved onto onions and peppers. She quickly added the onions to the pan with the sausage. It was nice and brown. After the onions softened slightly she transferred the meat and onions into a bowl to prevent burning. Then she added the potatoes to the bottom of the pan that she greased lightly with oil the topped it with the meat mixture saving a few pieces of the sausage for Arashi. Then quickly added the vegetables to the top. She then mixed the eggs with salt, pepper and garlic the poured it over the top of the ingredients in the pan before putting it all in the oven.

Arashi made a face that would be considered a smile for a cat. "Miss Wright, eh?" he said, watching her intently. He examined the bowl of sausage when she set it down after she had poured most of it into the pan and had to swallow a couple times. "Finally something that's not burnt. It looks really good. Is this for me?" he asked innocently. He wanted to make sure that he could have it before he started eating. he had several questions to ask her, but figured he would have to ask at the right time. "why did you run away, if you don't mind me asking?" he asked, starting a conversation as three of the men came in and put their ripped clothes on table in the room. They didn't say anything, and a moment later, Jack came in and set box down on the table that had different threads and needles inside.

"Captain said to bring you these. Sorry we don't have a sewing machine, Ma'am." said jack tilting his head towards her politely. Jack was the most civilized person on the ship other than Shomi and probably Amira.

Amira smiled at the cat petting him gently on the head. "Yes that is yours." She started the basic clean up of her mess cleaning the knives and the pan. "My father sold my hand in marriage to some Prince on the other side of the globe. He is spoiled and stuck up and rude. When my father would not listen to my objections i decided i wanted to run my own life." She shrugged and sighed softly.

Just then Jack walked into the room with the box. She curtsied in his direction. "I will have them all done after breakfast Mr. Jack sir." She nodded in his direction and she checked on the food in the oven grabbing the oven mitts and pulling it out long enough to put the cheese on top then placed it back in the oven for the cheese to melt. "Mr Jack sir. Food will be done in about 10 minutes if you would like to tell the crew."

Arashi purred when he was petted and started eating almost immediately. he was dainty when he ate, especially for a male cat.

"Yes ma'am. Will you be drinking any coffee? I ask only so i can tell sh- The captain." he asked, catching himself before saying Shomi's name, knowing that he would rather have the young woman ask him herself. Shomi would tell her, of course, but only if she asked.

Arashi finished the sausage and started to rub against Amira. "That was really good, Miss Amira. Thank you." he started purring.

"Oh no. I do not drink coffee." She shook her head quickly. "Food should be ready any minute."

She smiled and sat down to inspect the garments. "Oh these aren't to bad." She sorted through the box and found threads that matched each of the garments and set them together. She then quickly picked up the worst of the garments and in a matter of moments it was completely stitched up and looked almost as if they were brand new. She then stood up and pulled the food placing it on the counter and cut it in to decent sized squares and placed them on plates ready for the men. She then gently picked up Arashi and carried him over to the chair on the far right to of the room.

Jack nodded and went to get the rest of the crew.

Arashi purred when he was picked up, but wondered why he was brought across the room. "Why did you bring me over here?" he asked as he was set down. He scratched his ear, the opposite one from earlier, and looked up at Amira with his teal eyes.

She sat down next to him and scratched behind his ears. "Just so we stay out of their way." With one hand she scratched his head the other she started sewing up another garment. By the time the last of the men had sat down to eat she had finished the last of the garments.

Arashi purred more with her petting. He decided he liked this girl. He hoped that she would decide to stay on the ship after the two weeks that were to pass before they needed more supplies.

Shomi was the last one to gra his plate. He noticed that the girl hadn't eaten yet and walked over to her after grabbing the last plate, bringing it and some silverware. "You should eat, too." he said, setting the plate in front of her and laying the silverware by the plate. "You are pretty speedy with sewing." he said, thinking that he was glad that he didn't have to have a crew with ripped clothes anymore. "While i was reading, i remembered that i don't exactly have a place for you to sleep. I can set up a bed for you, but it would have to be in my... closet..." he said, making a face that said he was uncertain about the room. The closet was more like another room that was attached to his quarters. It had shelves and all of his clothes, but there was a light in there, a window on the far wall, and plenty of room to get dressed in and move about if there was a large bed in there as well. It could easily fit half of the crew in there comfortably with room for furniture. "i would have to clear my clothes out of there, but that wouldn't be a problem. After you finish eating, I can show you it and let you decide, if you would like. Arashi seems to be enjoying himself." From the other room, sounds of men eating and laughing and complementing the chef could be heard. There were comments about the girl, but none of them could be made out clearly. "oh, and, Thank you for cooking and sewing." his rude-ish demeanor seemed to have vanished for a moment, or at least he said, "can't have any idle hands on this ship." he was ready to explain what he had been reading if she said something about his hands being idle.

She respectfully declined the food. "Oh. No thank you Captain sir. I am not hungry. If you would like company while you eat though i would be more than happy to sit here and talk with you " She smiled up at him and her eyes sparkled slightly. "Your closet will be fine Captain." She didn't need much space and figured it would not be to bad to be close to the Captain. Though she figured she would not be sleeping much. She had a bad habit of talking in her sleep. Her father seemed to think she was possessed at one point. She would have dreams.. things that would come true in just a matter of days. She kept her hands busy between with Arashi.
