Self-made pirate/sky-pirate captain, who eventually retired from piracy due to sustaining an injury to her right eye (in completely mysterious circumstances), deeming the life to be taking a toll on her body after many years of serving on ships. Seeking to still remain serving on ships but under calmer settings, she found employment as a helmsman for a private company. While it did kill the thrill for her, she still managed to find it here and there.

Bernadette is a very proud, stoic and strong woman, living up to the Highlander ideal. She does not let anyone get in her way and she does things her way whether people like it or not. Not without a mischievous side, she does like a good engaging exchange as well as teasing and poking fun at others. It takes a lot to insult her and she enjoys finding people able to attack her back with their wit.

The quality which makes Bernadette stand out the most is her boundless confidence in herself.

Cocky, overly confident and a snarky attitude can be sensed from a distance from this Highlander as she walks into a room. However, this does not mean that she comes off as rude or insulting. Bernadette can easily make out peoples' characters and depending on that she would adjust her levels. Ideally though, she'd rather just tease people to her heart's content as well as poke fun at them wherever possible. The intentions are never malicious but to some they may definitely appears so. A confident person possessing a quiet certainty. She is generally optimistic, self-reliant, resilient, and comfortable in her environment. She will never stand in one spot and break down, instead, always seeking to push forward and break the walls. A woman of action, never one to give empty promises to anyone.

During her years as a captain upon her ship, she had demonstrated great leadership skills as well as empathy towards her crew, proving that despite her harsh and demanding nature, she still is humane and seeks to keep those around her happy and pleased. Most of the time she will not show this side of herself to anyone, and even while she might present kindness, she prefers to have people not see it. Her image is most important to her and she wants people to see her as a strong pillar which never shatters or shows weakness.
 +
 
 +
Despite her strong personality and self-assurance, she does have her weak points. The main one being her short fuse. Very few people know how to get under her skin and she would prefer it to stay that way. But for those select few, she absolutely cannot stand it. It sends her into a rage and she begins to spurt profanities for everyone to hear, including threats and physical retaliation. She will not hold back any punches and has no remove on handing someone a good knuckle-sandwich, even if the consequences may be big. She does not take insults lightly, the ones directed at her or her loved ones. She will defend those she cares about to her dying breath.
 +
Another one of her downsides is the inability to short vulnerability. It makes her come off as rude and unappreciative as well as not delicate. She easily becomes flustered when her weak points get exposed and at such moments she either becomes violent or speechless.

Routine started to set in and hungry for thrills, she started to seek them out actively. That was when she caught wind of stories regarding sky-ships and sky-pirates. She immediately began to research the abilities and jumped on the idea, regardless if the switch would be worthwhile financially or not. Her crew, dedicated to her, also followed her. Having multiple contacts, she exchanged her ship for a sky-ship and Bernadette enjoyed a few long years terrorizing the skies. This all came to a halt when one day she suffered a serious injury to her head, almost killing her but instead she lost her eyesight in her right eye. It infuriated her but her crew pleaded her to take it easy and just retire. Still young and unwilling to let go, she decided to serve for one more year and then she finally retired, handing down all her assets to her second in command.

General

Bernadette Bearclaw, nicknamed Bernie, is an ex-pirate turned helmsman for June's Crafts & Arms under the watchful eye of Pishrero Junerero who accepted her in despite her sketchy past of crime.

She comes from Limsa Lominsa where she followed the tradition of serving on a ship like many people hailing from there. Her servitude on the vessels started early and she quickly earned herself a name: Bernadette 'Silver-Eye' Bearclaw. Self-made pirate/sky-pirate captain, who eventually retired from piracy due to sustaining an injury to her right eye (in completely mysterious circumstances), deeming the life to be taking a toll on her body after many years of serving on ships. Seeking to still remain serving on ships but under calmer settings, she found employment as a helmsman for a private company. While it did kill the thrill for her, she still managed to find it here and there. Duel nights or even getting into bigger troubles became a penchant for her.

Bernadette is a very proud, stoic and strong woman, living up to the Highlander ideal. She does not let anyone get in her way and she does things her way whether people like it or not. Not without a mischievous side however, she does like a good engaging exchange as well as teasing and poking fun at others. It takes a lot to insult her and she enjoys finding people able to attack her back with their wit. Good fun accompanied with a great ale is one of her favourite pass-times.

Personality

The quality which makes Bernadette stand out the most is her boundless confidence in herself.

Cocky, overly confident and a snarky attitude can be sensed from a distance from this Highlander as she walks into a room. However, this does not mean that she comes off as rude or insulting. Bernadette can easily make out peoples' characters and depending on that she would adjust her levels. Ideally though, she'd rather just tease people to her heart's content as well as poke fun at them wherever possible. The intentions are never malicious but to some they may definitely appears so. A confident person possessing a quiet certainty. She is generally optimistic, self-reliant, resilient, and comfortable in her environment. She will never stand in one spot and break down, instead, always seeking to push forward and break the walls. A woman of action, never one to give empty promises to anyone.

During her years as a captain upon her ship, she had demonstrated great leadership skills as well as empathy towards her crew, proving that despite her harsh and demanding nature, she still is humane and seeks to keep those around her happy and pleased. Most of the time she will not show this side of herself to anyone, and even while she might present kindness, she prefers to have people not see it. Her image is most important to her and she wants people to see her as a strong pillar which never shatters or shows weakness.

Despite her strong personality and self-assurance, she does have her weak points. The main one being her short fuse. Very few people know how to get under her skin and she would prefer it to stay that way. But for those select few, she absolutely cannot stand it. It sends her into a rage and she begins to spurt profanities for everyone to hear, including threats and physical retaliation. She will not hold back any punches and has no remove on handing someone a good knuckle-sandwich, even if the consequences may be big. She does not take insults lightly, the ones directed at her or her loved ones. She will defend those she cares about to her dying breath. Another one of her downsides is the inability to short vulnerability. It makes her come off as rude and unappreciative as well as not delicate. She easily becomes flustered when her weak points get exposed and at such moments she either becomes violent or speechless.

Appearance

At first glance, the attribute which stands out the most on this Highlander is the eye-patch over her right eye.

Occupation

Bernadette worked ever since childhood upon ships, having many different positions on the vessels she served on, until eventually working her way up to the rank of captain on a pirate ship.

She started off cleaning decks, but her prowess with a gun as well as her sharp wit made her stand out, even among the men. She quickly became a favourite of many and even the captain of the ship she served upon at the time. It was a legal trading ship but after it got captured by pirates, they killed many of the crew but she was among those who were spared. She was then taught to steal, rob, gamble, as well as she got to polish her skills with a gun even further as well as sword-fighting. She absolutely did not mind the switch as it was much more thrilling than a dull life of trading. The Highlander grew into a strong and influential woman upon the ship as she was on it since childhood and knew everyone and everything. It was then that she decided to take the reigns, sick and tired of the captain and wanting the power for herself. She challenged the man to a duel which she won before throwing him into the waters for Leviathan itself to take care of the man. Despite her harsh methods, she was a caring leader and took much better care of her crew than he ever did; not a single revolt or complaint was ever heard.

Routine started to set in and hungry for thrills, she started to seek them out actively. That was when she caught wind of stories regarding sky-ships and sky-pirates. She immediately began to research the abilities and jumped on the idea, regardless if the switch would be worthwhile financially or not. Her crew, dedicated to her, also followed her. Having multiple contacts, she exchanged her ship for a sky-ship and Bernadette enjoyed a few long years terrorizing the skies. This all came to a halt when one day she suffered a serious injury to her head, almost killing her but instead she lost her eyesight in her right eye. It infuriated her but her crew pleaded her to take it easy and just retire. Still young and unwilling to let go, she decided to serve for one more year and then she finally retired, handing down all her assets to her second in command.

Quitting the life of a pirate was hard and she found herself seeking happiness at the bottom of a bottle until she heard of a mercantile company seeking employees. She decided to pay it a visit and offered her services as a helmsman at June's Crafts & Arms. She got immediately accepted by the owner, Pishrero Junerero. While it wasn't a dream come true, it was a way for her to remain serving on a sky-ship while not risking her health. She quickly got a promotion to oversee all vessels within the company, making sure that all shipments were on time and secure as an alliance was formed with Garlond Ironworks.

Recently things took an interesting turn as an Ishgardian man named Tyrdin Selmer, through a deal, requested that she assisted him with clearing out issues regarding Voidsent. While she barely ever had any encounter with them, she gladly took up the deal, content to get something to spice up her dull life.
