Of the Piratical sort: Morgaine is a good soul, she knows right from wrong and will not tolerate people using each other. Mutany is the worst kind of thing someone can do in her eyes. She's very quick to her tongue and her sword but can keep them in check if need be. Most of the time shes quick to judge strangers and will defend her freinds to death. Morgaine grew up at sea, and feels the most at home there with the big ships. She gets along with most everyone but she dosn't like to be left out either. She also has a kind of twisted sense of humor but has no problem drinking with the big boys, even if she can't hold alcohol as well as some of them.

 

Back History

Morgaine was bred and born a pirate, although christianed in Portuguese as Madelina de la Vega, she changed her name to her fathers family name when she went to England. Born in 1570 at Ponto Delgada on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azore Island chain off of Portugal's southern coast, she began a simple life of a merchants daughter. Her father Thomas Scott, was a poor merchant who was trying his hand at sailing. Unfortunatly he met the Spanish in route and was forced to abandon his ship at was stuck at Ponto Delgada and met Madelina's mother there. He finally was able to get another ship and once more start again in the merchant business with fair sucess but learning how to protect his interests he taught his daughter all he knew. She grew up at sea with her father and her mother happily but again the Spanish didn't like poor Thomas and with cannon fire both Madelina's mother and father met a watery grave just before Francis Drake took on the Spanish Armada. A horrible hatred for the spanish grew in the young girls heart and she ran. Madelina was able to escape and went into hiding, cutting her hair and joining another english ships crew as a cabin boy on a ship called the Evening Star. She gave up her name of Madelina de la Vega, because of her hate of the Spanish and renamed herself after her fathers family. There "Morgan Scott" became well respected by the crew and ended up as Quarter Master, on the ship. The captain called the port of Penzance, England home and while they were birthed there in 1595 the spanish attacked almost completely destroying the town. It was then that Morgaine Scott was reborn, she took command of a ship called The Southern Cross, and set sail after the Spanish, hired by the Queen in secret in memory of Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkings, to help out whenever possible against the Spanish that she hates so much. She now has amassed herself a small fortune and resides in London, England.
