Jihanna the Demon

A much-feared pirate queen, Jihanna largely shuns the society of her piratical peers. She makes her home on the shore of Valuatana, taking up the only major anchorage on the island.

Her fleet numbers some five or six ships, the largest being her flagship, The Firespray. She is known for dressing in wildly colourful outfits, seeking to draw attention to herself in the midst of combat and thus (some say) spare her crew the worst of the enemy’s attacks. Her crews are known to be fanatically loyal to her.

Her most famous escapade is undoubtedly her sinking of two Imperial Navy vessels, that had disguised themselves as merchant ships to draw her in. Despite being caught by surprise, and seriously outgunned, the Demon refused to surrender, and when her ship was sunk beneath her, managed to get aboard one of the Imperial ships, take command and use it to sink the other. Infuriated that the Imperials had so tricked her, she then sank the ship she’d captured with the crew still on board, returning to Valuatana in one of her smaller ships. Her career is full of such exploits — she may be hotheaded and quick to anger, but she never seems to lose her ability to out-think her opponents.

Jihanna is respected by the other pirate captains of the islands, but for the most part given a wide berth. Even among pirates, she has a reputation for unpredictable violence and savagery.
