[hider=Beth]Name: Elisabeth "Beth" (if you know she's a lady) Dave (if you don't) Wakefield

Age:28

Height: 5'8" (172.72 cm) 

Build: Beanpole (lithe) 

Hair: Dark and cut short (about an inch long)

Facial Hair: None 

Eyes: Dark (a whole two of them)

Apparel: Loose tunic and trousers. Military style jacket, dark colors (appears re-dyed) and worn, but carefully cared for.

Gear: Compass, sextant, maps, quadrant, a few other odder devices mostly for navigation, a notebook, pencil, penknife

Weapons: A boot dagger, a flint lock pistol, and a cutlass.  

Rank: First mate / Navigator (if there isn't one, she's a bit obsessed with it actually and would probably do it anyway)

Ship: The [i]El Marees[/i]

Background: Beth was born to a military man of many honors. Her and her twin were raised by their mother primarily. Beth hero worshiped their father and was nearly destroyed by his death when she was only 8 years old. Her twin, Sarah, on the other hand went the way of their mother. A fancy young lady. Beth went the way of sword fights and danger. 

Her older brother Dave is who she took the identity of when she finally went out to explore the world. He had no established reputation (as he died at the age of 12). Beth when she ran away from home the next year took his paper work, thankful for their similar appearance and got onto a ship as a powder monkey.

She got lucky and survived, her gender still a secret. The child called Dave Wakefield, continued working her way up through the ranks and working on different ships until she heard of Amir looking for new shipmates. She switched crews, as she often did to keep her true identity hidden. Often even leaving with ladies at a bar to encourage her mates to not question her. 

Beth's family is large. Some of that is fictive kin, some of it is blood, but it is spread all throughout the world. In almost any port Beth can easily find someone she knows. Chances are a favor or two is owed between the relatives, and Beth finds herself often caught up in the drama of her relatives (another reason for switching ships often). 

Beth's immediate family includes 21 siblings. Most are half, only three (one now dead) are full siblings. Most of her siblings have several children (though none match her parents at producing the hoard). Both of her parents had many siblings, who all had children.
