| Ahoy
there me scurmies! Grab ye a bottle o' rum and listen to me tale...

| Aye, there be no pirate
stranger than Tiger Lily. I be that strange lass, she of slanted
eyes and yellow skin - kin to Lucy Liu, Michelle Yeoh and Mulan, and a
fighter as good as they be. I have come from afar, to join ye in yer
adventures on the Spanish Main. To plunder and to loot, and to
follow the footsteps of Mary Read and Anne Bonny, for they be me partners
in cryme. Aye, the history books may well remember them, but it was
I, Tiger Lily, who taught Mary and Anne to fight. Cap'n Edward Teach
- that be Blackbeard to ye - will vouchsafe that I be tellin' ye the
truth.

Avast, ye swaggerin' scallywags, come up close or I’ll slit yer throats! Aye, it was my father's father, bless his soul, who left his homeland in China to seek his fortune in the Golden Chersonese. There be gold in them thar hills, he be told, so he left with nothing but the shirt on his back, to join Admiral Cheng Ho on his seventh voyage to Malacca, in the Golden Chersonese.

Gold there be, but not for my father's father. Aye, he toiled till his knuckles bled, but he never lost hope. Though he never found his gold, my father's father left to his son all the skills he learned from the Shaolin Temple. And my father left to his only daughter what his father left him. And that be how Tiger Lily came to be a fighter. 'Twas the use of me bare hands in a fight that caught Cap'n Blackbeard's first mate's eye. Aye, it caught her eye because she only has one! Seasplash be her name, and she be tellin' me to see Cap'n Teach - that be Blackbeard to ye - and join him in his adventures on the high seas, where there be bounties for the takin'. Aye, so it be that Tiger Lily joined Cap'n Blackbeard and the Jolly Rogers on the good ship Queen Anne’s Revenge. I care not for the adventures, for I have enough of me own. It be the gold I be after. My father's father could not find it, but it may yet be mine. Now that you know my story, I be needin' yer vote to set me on my voyage. Click the "Vote" button on the left, and I'll spare ye the cutlass. Don't forget now - I be a-watchin' ye. And there be honor among thieves, this much I can tell ye - 'cause I be returnin' the favor if ye should need it. Fifteen men on the dead
man's chest
