REMINDER: I haven't devolved into Un-cards yet
Now captain, Annabelle is aided by her first mate, Meredith Seaworth. Meredith comes from a long line of mariners, but unlike her family who were good upstanding members of the navy, Meredith felt the need to rebel and be a pirate. She quickly became disenchanted by the lifestyle however under the iron reign of her former captain. When Annabelle started speaking, she listened, and realized they could be pirates, and be honorable and good as well. She is Annabelle's staunchest supporter, and believes no one else could be captain of their ship.
The crew wasn't sure if such a generally kind hearted woman as Annabelle could be a worth captain, but after she led them through a fierce battle with a kraken, with not a single sailor lost, she had their permanent support. She is their Angelic Captain, and they have faith that she would be the best Pirate Queen as well. (if I need a 2nd crew card, let me know and I'll make one)
After the events with the kraken, the crew started calling Annabelle "Angel", something she isn't all that comfortable with given her actual heritage. However, they would not be swayed, and when they returned to port, forced her to spend coin to place a new figurehead on the bow of the ship, rechristened the Angelic Mutiny, for their Angel who led a mutiny against their former captain, and who would now do the same to the high seas.
As for that kraken event... After the mutiny, the crew sailed to Black Ice Bay, somewhere far enough away from normal shipping routes to regroup, repair, and figure out what to do next. They didn't want to just sail back to their normal port with a dead captain and a mutiny. Annabelle seemed nervous from the moment they arrived... and with good reason. Just as the crew was preparing to drop anchor, a kraken appeared.
Most of the crew can't agree as to how they survived, but Meredith swears by her version of events. Just as the kraken was about to destroy the ship, Annabelle grew a pair of ethereal wings, and a light split the clouds in heaven above. When the light vanished, the Kraken was dead, the crew saved, and they suddenly had a large creature to tow to port to make a pretty penny off of.
And so, the crew of the Angelic Mutiny nominates Annabelle Serradottir to be the new Pirate Queen. Her grace shall lead us to a new golden age where pirates no longer live in fear of their captains, and can work to change the high seas into a true paradise for all who sail it free from oppressive naval rules!
P.S. I don't have the artist name for most of these. if you know the artist, let me know and I will update accordingly. Also, feedback on Annabelle is appreciated. Is she OP, UP, just right? Let me know!
