Princess

A character from my current tabletop roleplaying game, a swashbuckling fantasy of sky piracy and high adventure, and crewmember of the skyship 'Salvatore'. 
When the crew were shipwrecked on a mysterious jungle island, they encountered a tribe of small, fierce humanoids who, while initially hostile, eventually proved invaluable in avoiding the ever-present dangers of the island's fierce predators and deadly plantlife. After the crew discovered and repaired the wreck which would eventually becomes the Skyship 'Salvatore', a number of these humanoids decided to accompany the crew on further adventures. 
The most fierce of them, who adopted the name Princess, took on the role of ship's cook and has since proven, in addition to being a superlative if idiosyncratic cook, a holy terror in boarding actions and shipboard combat.
