A Pirate's Soul Prologue

A Pirate's Soul Prologue

There is an island in the New World, protected by its own laws. No danger is present, no harm comes to those who are not stupid, and there's only creativity.

Verto; the island of music. Musician's come all over the world to this secret paradise, where no harm would come. They relax and do what they want. Few besides the musicians know of Verto, and those who do are sworn to secrecy.

It's a beautiful place, where artists of all sorts perform in the streets, practicing new pieces before tours. Dancers kick through the streets, styles ranging from sharp hip-hop to willowy lyrical. Musicals are always playing in the theatre, as rock bands play at the concert halls. Everyone's happy, peacefully.

And because these people ARE artists, nothing's ever normal. That makes the days more exiting, more inspirational. Laughing at silly stunts one guy pulls or fretting over personal issues. The life here is never calm, but somehow relaxing.

To get away from the paparazzi or the screaming fangirls, musicians and performers of all sorts come here to stay. Shops for what they need, food, clothing, tailors and seamstresses, clubs and warehouses decorate the large city of Liberté de Coeur. Few non-musicians live there, only to help provide for the artists. Most of the current biggest dancers, musicians and performers along with the smallest go there.

Musicians who are criminals seek solace there. Pirates and revolutionaries alike along with many other criminals artists can go to Verto and not worry.

But, that paradise is only guarded. If their guard wasn't there, there would be no Verto. If that guard were to fall, then the infamous would be captured and the famous would be hunted.

No. That guard would never fall. The government wouldn't dare.

Appearance:

Rhythm's pretty much Luffy's twin. Black hair that can't lay flat, dark eyes, and pretty skinny looking. Her eyes have a purplish hue to it, depending on the light, and has 3, up-side-down triangles tattooed under her left eye. Her hair reaches just below her waist and has shaggy bangs and strands of hair that stick up on her head. She has ear piercings, too. 3 cartilage wire hoops and a double lobe piercing on her left ear, while her right has a single wire cartilage and a double lobe, in which a ruby crescent moon earing dangled from her main lobe. A pair of leather and dark tinted goggles hangs loosely around her neck, and on her back is a large silhouette of a dead tree, encasing three scars crossing. The only color in that tattoo is a tiny read apple on one of its branches. There's also a silhouette of an owl on one of its upper branches, as tiny scars dot her back.

After the time skip, she switches the red crescent moon for a sapphire one and ditches the goggles most of the time.

She has multiple outfits throughout PS, but her main one is her zip up white vest with the collar turned up over a strapless purple top with a silhouette of a skull and crossbones across the front. The sleeves and buckles are still on her arms, but there is a blue sleeve under that, peeking up at the top and bottoms with a thumb hole in it. She wears a silver studded belt holding up black cut-off short shorts with a checkered belt hanging from a loop, holding Chouwa no Warai on it. Her legs have thigh-high black and white striped socks held up by leg suspenders. Her shoes are silver high-top dance Nikes with a black streak around the rubber sole. Her laces are black and the tongue is a spider web, criss- crossing blue and purple pattern. There's a purple solid circle at the top of the shoe on the side on both in and out sides and a blue on towards the toe, and a blue and a purple triangle-like streaks between. Her hair is longer, with her bangs now almost below her eyes and her form is a bit leaner, stronger with more hips and cleavage. She also wears a pair of light purple shield glasses, a pair of black and blue headphones around her neck and a knuckle ring on her right hand with a line of five silver stars and her left thumb has a moonstone ring on sterling silver with two tiny garnets on either side.

Another thing that had changed are her earrings. Her right cartilage has a hoop with the second lobe piercing has a purple zircon stud. The two left top cartilage has coral hoops and the third is an emerald stud, whilst the second lobe piercing is a purple zircon and the main lobe is a silver hoop.

Most of the time she wears a black silk choker with a pendeloque-cut blue topaz 9the one she bought in Tomoni)

Where'd she get all the money to buy that? Her job of course.
