Name: Anne Bonny Door: Door pass (Dominant) Canon: Black Sails Canon Point: Post-S2 Age: Late 20s Appearance: Here History: Wiki Personality: CW for mentions of sexual and spousal abuse, underage marriage, and rape. - Unpredictable: Anne Bonny is a dangerous woman because she carries knives on her person and knows how to use them. She's also dangerous because she's entirely unpredictable – with one single exception in the form of her partner in all things, Jack Rackham, who knows her as well as he knows himself. Even then, there are times when even Jack can't control her. This unpredictability is a boon for her survivability – she's incredibly violent, as a byproduct of the place and time in which she was raised, and because she was treated as a disposable object from a very young age. Married to a violent, abusive man when she was just thirteen, Anne was conditioned as a child to view the world with suspicion – either her surroundings are hostile and must be dealt with violently, or they are a cage threatening to lock her away. As a result, she lashes out with violence as a first resort: for example, when she was sexually assaulted by a man on the crew when he puts his balls on her shoulder, she cut his balls off, and when she's rejected by a different crew she lets her rage sustain her through assaulting the man who rejected her and also murdering two other people. When Anne is angry, she's at her most threatening, because there's no telling what she might do with her anger. - Ruled by emotion: Though stoic and distant, skulking near Jack or in the corner of a room, Anne is by no means emotionless. In fact, she's entirely the opposite: under her grim, serious face is a bubbling inner turmoil that she's never been equipped to deal with. Mostly, this turmoil manifests as rage, and her other strong emotions – confusion, sadness, regret – are often filtered through rage too. Her emotions rule her because she doesn't know how to control them, and finds it difficult to express herself as a result. For example, when Anne is faced with her burgeoning attraction to Max and she begins to confront what this might mean about herself, she holds the truth very close to her chest, pushing Max away rather than opening up to her. She also allows her anger over the way Max is being treated by the remaining members of her and Jack's crew to dictate her actions – despite Jack's insistence that they need the men on the crew to make sure they can get by without being killed when their captain returns, Anne hatches a plan with Eleanor to kill all eight crew members just so she can save Max from a fate which she believes is worse than death. It's a deadly combination of traits – Anne runs on pure instinct, but that instinct is all emotion, and she's no good at being able to separate her emotional response to a situation from the practicalities. - Stubborn: It's probably no surprise that Anne is intensely stubborn. She holds onto her grudges like life rings, and even Jack isn't spared, if her frequent snarls of 'fuck you, Jack' are anything to go by. When Jack privileges Max over Anne, forcing Anne to stay off the ship at the behest of the crew, Anne is so betrayed and upset that she storms off, getting as far away from Nassau as Port Royal before she decides to come back, ultimately saving him from would-be assassins upon her return. With anyone else, she likely wouldn't have come back at all, but Jack is as always the one exception to Anne's rules. Anne also finds it difficult to admit when she was wrong or when she made a mistake; it's a survival instinct that's done her well for the most part, but it's also capable of leading to communication breakdown and frustration. + Principled: Despite all of this, Anne is not without principle. It may seem that way on first inspection, but Anne is deeply affected by seeing injustice, especially sexual abuse and assault, and will do as much as she can to protect someone from a fate like this, which she considers to be worse than death. When Max tries to escape, Anne hands her over to Captain Vane, though later is furious when Vane's men start to take advantage of Max, raping her repeatedly; when Max asks why she's angry about this when Anne was the one who handed her over, Anne replies, "I only thought they'd kill you." She's gentle when she wants to be, with people she wants to be gentle with, and she's resolutely loyal to Jack. Jack saved her from her abusive husband and she's been with him ever since, both because she's loyal to him and because she believes that she owes it to him to be by his side. "You and I are gonna be partners until they put us in the fucking ground," she says, and as far as she's concerned her word on the matter is gospel. Powers and Abilities: None, just a regular ol' early 1700s pirate with a penchant for stabbing. Inventory: Her two knives, which she keeps hanging on her belt. Samples: one, two |
