Basics
Description
Butch is the bosun of Hayes' privateering ship and is essentially responsible for everything that happens above deck. This includes supervising the crew, maintaining the hull and rigging, and carrying out punishments. Little is known about Butch's background except that she comes from a tribal society living in her world's version of Antarctica. Her left eye is sightless due to an unkown injury. She wears her long hair in a Manchu-style queue, and has a tattoo of a fish hook on her left bicep. She is extremely tough and rules the crew through fear, though she has a clear soft spot for her captain.
Relationships:
Childhood friend of Hayes; joined the Navy around the same time/age as him, both served on the same ship. Reluctant mentor to Corbyn.

Trivia
- While no one really knows what happened to Butch's eye, the most popular story is that she was kidnapped from her home by a slave ship. As punishment for an escape attempt, the ship's captain stuck a huge fish hook in Butch's eye and had her keelhauled by running the line under the ship. Supposedly Butch survived, organized the other slaves into a violent mutiny, and killed the captain with the same fish hook, all at the tender age of nine. While Butch has never revealed the source of her injury, she once confided in Hayes that this version of the story is not true.
