And another thing:
Cannon Fire, aka Captain Charlie Chang, aka Charlie with the Charlies, aka Carlotta Sinonos, is a woman of many names but only two moods; really good and really bad. Half London, half West Country, her language is coarse but friendly, her friends are scattered but important, and her history is dark but entertaining. A previous committer of many crimes but committed of none, she now has her fun with the London Rollergirls, and fits in the odd bit of illustration when she can. Desperate to get a 3/4 sleeve of tattoos but nervous to do so because three separate psychics have told her she’ll live to an unusually old age, her current appearance is one crowned by messy hair, and assisted by an arm that won’t straighten, but she’s happy. A pirate with four crew members and a wench but no ship (yet), Cannon Fire is guaranteed to tell you that country kids play harder, though she knows that no one really plays harder than a London Rollergirl.
