Biography

Groshawk is currently, and happily, a senior officer of Red Skies At Night, under the flag Sailor's Delight.

She washed ashore Tigerleaf Mountain on the quiet afternoon of 22 September 2007, wholly and blissfully oblivious of all things piratey. After several weeks of blinking through a veil of green, Groshawk was plucked off the beach by a benevolent hand and taken under wing by the crew Midnight Aurora of the flag Imperial Coalition, then under the leadership of Karanga. She spent the following six weeks slowly accumulating a solid base of hearties, and worked her way to the position of officer under the patient tutelage of Cloudpuppy.

After much deliberation, Groshawk left Midnight Aurora during a period of turmoil to aid several hearties in the process of strengthening a smaller crew. Shortly thereafter, and several days before she was to accept an invitation to join Infinite Depths, Groshawk found herself the sudden victim of a fortunate dock-pressing incident and was kidnapped into Red Skies At Night under the same flag. There she was befriended by the selfless Heffalumpy, and introduced to the equally formidable Veloce. Groshawk could not ask for better company with which to spend the rest of her pirating days.

Notes of Interest

• Groshawk recieved an eyepatch injury on March 29, 2008 after sinking in Atlantis with Sexynika and several dear flag members, along with a total cargo worth over 1 million pieces of eight.

• The previously displayed portrait [3] was inspired by the Droste effect, or mise en abyme. The Droste nurse, whose uniform she attempted to reconstruct, would have been better represented with a white savvy hat [4].

• The currently displayed portrait was made possible by Yahreali, to whom she is indebted for many things (of which mild insanity is but one), and is a tribute to the excellent and tasty..that is, tasteful Admiral Finius.

• In early May 2008, Groshawk entered into premature but overdue retirement. She can occasionally be found portraiting with hearties whose siren calls she cannot resist.
