A deceitful mimicry of the knock on Admiral James Norrington's quarters door, as if one of his officers were asking for entry. Only the door opened before being granted proper entry and the creature Captain of the Vihar sauntered in with a grin a fraction too wide.

“Firstly, nobody has died yet.” definitely one of the most important things to clarify when she was involved. “But if you shoot me out of reflex, they will because the Vihar is in perfect firing range with the gunpowder storage.” she might've wanted to...see him again and while she might have a few suicidal tendencies, putting her family at risk wasn't among it. Therefore the devised plan to ensure she lived through the encounter enough to actually explain why, how is she here.

“Seriously, the night watch is almost as terrible as things were looking the gallery. I think my cook barely survived a bursted aneurysm.”

That information explain how could her ship glide into position without notice.

“This day is for...fooling around?” well that sounded only mildly inappropriate “Pulling jokes on the other? Anyway, I find it funny that your country is conquering everything within reach yet you still cannot season your food even if your life depended on it. You feed that to your men?” don't mind her casually taking a spot on top of his desk.

“But then I, well my crew at first started to feel sorry for your men never eating a normal meal before dying, so I sort of arranged to make it happen.” Rozália decided to leave out of the story how they all but tossed a bundled meal as peace offering onto the ship as she doesn't have and will not invest in having a white flag.

“I just restocked on supplies, after nobody died from eating the sample, Béla -my cook was let on board to check the gallery and decided on spot to put together our supplies and cook everyone meals they won't forget. I think they are almost finished by now, last time I checked he still had to ward off your sailors from the brews with a wooden spoon.”

As always, her words rang true; strong, mouthwatering scents started to linger even heavily in the air, slithering through the door left slightly ajar.

“Yes the officers were bribed with getting a taste before anyone in order to not alert you, to let me do it instead because the joke day.” she admitted with a wave of her hand, damn her for wanting be the one to deliver all those news to James.

“No, it's not poisoned because my crew is also coming over to eat and it wouldn't make sense to waste my rations on killing your men when I could've done it with a well aligned canon shot. Therefore, try to eat without skewering me or your men with your eyes during.” Rozália concluded with a glittering grin, the door creaking more open

“Oh! Yes, I almost forgot to introduce you to my kitten! Don't worry, she's been well fed. James, this is Főnix.”

Upon hearing her name, the roughly one year old jaguar lazily jumped onto the Admiral's desk next to her owner, now both gazing at him with interest shining in the same emerald colored eyes.

Perhaps the utmost terrifying thing about Rozália isn't her level of swordsmanship, not even her indifference to/during acts considered monstrous; but her intelligence. + how she decides to utilize it.

Her intellect is wicked sharp, lightning fast, capable of improvising an entirely different plan within seconds. Adaptable, ruthless, brilliant and observant. She can judge a scene in a few seconds and decide accordingly. For Rozália you're as transparent as glass. She picks up any attempt of manipulation with ease but she plays into them for her own amusement. She's bored. She wants to be entertained. Challenged mentally, not just on the battlefield. This is partly where her no lying policy comes from, she doesn't need to resort to that because she still has plenty to work with. She doesn't need to resort to or rely on lying; and she takes great pride in the fact. She wants to lure her prey into a sense of control and security before she flips the chessboard completely and seamlessly with a grin slick of victorious malice. After all, it's just a game for her.

Throughout the conversation she's already two leaps ahead, she learned the game even more during and when the timing is right, plays it better than the one stupid enough trying to fool her. Most of the time her own endgame is murder, but only after the intellectual humiliation, after being flayed open with the right words with uncanny ease. She is an expert on picking up weaknesses, unsteady footing, personal issues from the tiniest clues possible, if you don't drop enough or any, she will use her knowledge of you, of your country's political, economical situation, of your status to pry a reaction exposing the target.

And once she has it, she stabs with unpredictable timing and great precision, with the exact words to make you crumble completely. She takes utmost sadistic satisfaction and glee in the sight, the effects her words have, she's ruthless, remorseless when it comes to exploiting weaknesses, insecurities, leaving scars lasting forever.

Rozália also thinks, plans, acts three steps ahead in case the conversation suddenly would involve a smaller army. She may be mad but she's not stupid. Far from it actually. She is fluent in three languages, learning a fourth, understands one more and its dialects, well read regarding warfare, tactics, history, politics, aware of current events and conflicts. When she enters a conversation/negotiation she is radiant with confidence because most times she knows all what she has to and already made preparations accordingly.

The reason she's so entangled with @pyratezlife 's Ned Low because he gives her what nobody can. A challenge. A dangerous game. A bloody puzzle to both fit together and pull apart. A battle of wits where the other party isn't unarmed. A feeling that she has to keep sharp focus to stay ahead of him. And it thrills her to no end, that someone sort of matches, can keep up with her level of madness. That he can keep her interested; victory will never taste sweeter than this one. And maybe this time she will put the pieces of him together after as an act of respect for all he had provided her with.

Conclusion why I ultimately picked her intelligence as the worst: You cannot be properly scared of her skills with a blade because half of her movements can barely even be followed by naked eye and you are already dead before witnessing the full scale horror she's capable of unleashing. There are also many people who don't really bat an eye about dishing out death or torture, it's not that rare. And she's a pirate captain, what else is expected from her? But. Having a conversation where it becomes evident how insane and cruel she actually is? The realization of exactly WHAT is sitting across you? That she is genuinely in for her own twisted amusement, she has been winning from the very start and the victory prize might just be your life. The feeling of dread, helplessness, pure horror when all of those come crashing down; the cold fire in her calculative glare, the uncanny sharpness of her smirk, fangs slowly revealing themselves as she senses the shift of the mood. As if indeed the Devil itself decided to take on a humanlike appearance.

what character archetype are you?

The Ruler

King, Queen, Monarch, Emperor, Empress, it's all the same. Proud, aspiring and righteous. You want prosperity. You want everyone to be happy, and you want to be the reason why. You usually do the entire group project or divide jobs between the group. It's not a bad thing. But you're authoritarian. It doesn't work for everyone. Recognise that.

what form of love do you embody?

love as devotion

[ devotion: love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause ] when ruth said to naomi "where you go, i will go, and where you stay, i will stay. your people will be my people, and your God my God" and when hozier sang "i'll be the dreadful need from the devotee that drove [orpheus] underground" and when deathcab for cutie sang "if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks, i will follow you into the dark"

love as tenderness

[ love as gentleness after a lifetime of cruelty ] when ocean vuong said "sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined" and when pablo neruda said "like a jar you housed the infinite tenderness and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar" and when anais mitchell wrote "all i've ever known is how to hold my own, and now i wanna hold you, too”

“You are so beautiful when you smile.”

Words fell from freshly kissed petal lips before she could stop the thought from being vocalized. Perhaps she should've used a more masculine adjective to describe the sight but...it felt right. It was impossible not to reply with the smile of her own, only this time it was free from its usual biting edge, the cutting, knowing mischief. Rozália and traditional techniques simply couldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.

Even she was surprised at the utter lack of any kind of defensive instinct upon such closeness. Gem eyes flickered up to his -the gateways to the most magnificent oasis- before trailing back to his lips with clear intent and desire.

Warmth curled at the bottom of her spine, slowly coiling higher, not the usual immediate electric spark that set her body in motion to be capable of such inhumane speed. This was entirely something else. More the rich baritone of his voice washed over, enveloped her in its caress, hotter the fire pulsed and burned.

A choked noise as James' fingers caressed through short, unruly locks; shamelessly arching further and after the touch. As if she's never been touched like that (She wasn't.). Always confident fingers now trembling to find a hold on his uniform; when did she close the distance entirely? She could stay like this for eternity.

Please don't let go yet.

“El amor en ti es muy peligroso por nosotros.”

Was whispered as an omen, something they both were aware of yet...with her head gently canted sideways the Devil kissed with tender passion with a hunger for love.

Kisses her , breaking all protocols. Even if she stabs him.. it was worth it.

Just when she thought she figured every step out to remain ahead; thrown off her rhythm so easily. The world ceased to exist for a few seconds, even her ever whirring mind shut down to simply enjoy. Consequences, social differences, witnesses be damned. The last can always be rid of though.

The tiniest bite, far from drawing blood, only a small reminder; if he ever was in need of one in the first place.

“New pirate hunting technique, Admiral? Dare I say” gem eyes flickered between them, not ready yet to fully withdraw “quite effective.”

what ghost haunts you?

the ghost of vengeance

you ache for revenge and little else. red paints your vision, and it has grown so thick that it has grown so hard to see. somewhere within your ribs is a child longing for comfort again. you will never let them see the light of day. for now, there is blood on your hands and your teeth. before you were a human, you were an omen with a heart constructed of thorns. when audre lorde wrote, “i feel it’s my anger that helped keep me alive.” when ashe vernon wrote, “isn’t this rage so ugly? and isn’t it mine, still? good god, isn’t it mine?” you will never find peace within your own anger, but you bathe in it anyway. the way you always have.

What type of villain are you?

No Moral Compass

Part two

The Mastermind

Oh, sinner man, let me dissect your thoughts. You are poison, poised words dancing off your snake tongue, skillfully woven with deceit and cruelty. You have perfected your dance to a clinical precision, knowing exactly when to take the next step to tip the scales in your favour. You operate on knowledge and facts, leaving nothing to chance. The mind is your most powerful tool, and to utilize it completely would be magnificent. You are the epitome of control, a strategist in your own right. To play without a plan is to play a martyr, after all. So take your blade to the back of someone who trusts you, twist it in just below the ribs, and watch them stumble. Watch their blood coat your hands, sinner, and catalogue another death into your mind. I wonder what would happen for you to lose your control, your composure and quiver before pandemonium.

You are cold, analytical, and you strive to be as objective as a person of flesh and blood can be. Either don't understand the concepts of good and evil, or you understand it perfectly and think it's a load of bull. Some may call you selfish, some may call you unfeeling, but you're just doing what you believe will yield the best results, plain and simple. Why bother with petty ideals of right or wrong when you can do what will actively help those you give a fuck about? Your goals may be selfish or noble or anything in between, but you will not let anyone make you feel like garbage for going after them. You couldn't care less about what people brand you as. You just care about getting shit done by any means necessary.

what does love feel like to you?

everything

nothing matters but this. not you. not them. this moment, this love that you've built, that is what matters. it is all that there is. you will do anything to keep it this way; no matter what line you have to cross, who you have to step over. the ends justify the means, after all; and for you, this is everything. they are everything.
