Dread Pirate Roberta

Little is known of the Dread Pirate Roberta due to her fiercely loyal and tight lipped crew.

Commonly Known Origins
Rumor circulated, though not in her or her crew's presence, is that she chose to surrender her left hand instead of her virginity upon the execution of a legal marriage contract by her family and a local lord upon her sixteenth birthday. The story continues to claim that she was driven from her village in disgrace and forced into service as a scullery maid on a merchant freighter. When the freighter was captured by a small regional pirate she seduced the captain and the first mate before poisoning them and most of the crew and claiming her first vessel.
