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.

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.

Personality

The quality which makes Bernadette stand out the most is her confidence in herself as well as her skills.

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.

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.
