REDD
The Scarlet Captain
VISAGE ; Jessica Chastain
PORTRAYAL ; my own <3
PENNED BY ; @Breadss-
Redd was born into privilege — silk dresses, tutors, a future built on alliances and advantageous marriages.
Then the pirates came.
Her town was raided. Her family slaughtered or scattered. She was taken — not for ransom, but as a prize.
A bride.
At first, she survived by playing the role they gave her: soft, frightened, obedient.
But Redd learned everything.
The crew’s politics.
The captain’s vices.
Who was loyal. Who was afraid. Who was cruel.
And one night, she rewrote her fate.
The captain died in his bed.
The first mate followed.
The crew woke up leaderless — and already loyal to her.
By the time the sun rose, Redd stood on the deck in a blood-stained wedding dress, holding the ship’s flag in her hands.
She kept the name they gave her.
But she made it mean something else.

She stood in silence , hunched underneath an awning hanging on an abandoned storefront , strands of blonde hair sticking to her forehead , a result of the downpour earlier on . she huffed , a satisfied sound , smug smile plastered on her face , despite her split lip and clear bruises . in her hand she held a wad of money , pale purple notes , counting them meticulously. though upon the approaching sound of footsteps , her smile fell into a scowl and the money was replaced with a blade . " back off- oh ! magic kid ... hey . " she laughed , her shoulders slumping as the startled expression quickly faded " by the saints- you scared the life out of me . "
She hadn't meant it to be insulting . simply her own expression of concern . she had been young and overwhelmed once . hell she was still young . " perfect . " she smiled , nodding as she looked over at him " it's not a colour coding system . thats just their uniform . " she explained , sighing softly " they're fine , they're not outwardly a threat but like its just easier overall to stay out of their way . " she hummed , tugging absentmindedly at one of her sleeves , glancing down at her feet and the way the water circled her with a smile , quiet and appreciative . " really its fine . " she pushed , letting out a defeated sigh as she held up a hand letting water pool in her palm once again , quietly willing it to solidify , forming a small puck of ice in her hand that she pressed to her lip " there . " she sighed , shifting her gaze back to him " i appreciate that . no one comes to check on me . not just because they can anyway . " she explained with a quiet sigh " hey , if you need to worry ,do it . i'm not here to stop you , but i promise you ... i should be the bottom of that list . "
♆【 @tidesturning- 】♆ Percy’s mouth twitched at the word kid, but he didn’t argue it this time. Instead he glanced down the empty street, rain slicking the pavement into silver ribbons that all seemed to bend toward him. “Trust me, robbing you is not on my résumé,” he said lightly. Then her warning settled in, and his expression sobered. “Purple, huh? Got it. I already have enough trouble with people trying to stab me without a colour-coding system.” When she said she had a healer, he nodded, though the crease between his brows didn’t quite fade. Water gathered in a shallow halo around her boots again, warm this time, like it was trying to help in the only way it knew how. “Keeleigh,” he repeated, committing the name to memory. “I’m not here to make your life harder. Just… checking in, I guess.” He leaned back against the brick beside her, eyes on the rain. “And yeah, I might look like a kid,” Percy added quietly, “but I’ve learned that pretending not to worry is usually when things go really, really wrong.”
" thought you were here to rob me " she pointed out in explanation . it was a common expectation , considering she lived in what was widely considered the criminal underbelly of the city . sure she was one of those criminals , a thief and a member of a gang but it wasn't important . not to this conversation . besides everyone here was a criminal in some form . " yeah , least of my worries really . just wasn't paying attention " she chuckled , shaking her head at him " just uh whilst you're here , steer clear of anyone in purple . would do you some good . " she explained , voice dropping slightly as she explained . she genuinely seemed unbothered by her injuried , she was almost excited by them . though she wasn't blind to his concern. " a friend of mine is skilled in healing . i'll talk to her later . " she offered , hoping it would provide some comfort " percy . " she nodded , grinning " i'm keeleigh . it shouldn't be your thing , you're just like a kid . " she knew what it was like, having grown up on the streets , constantly being worried . about everything . she wouldn't wish it on anyone .
