Captain Crow is captain of the pirate ship Crow's Song on Lumar at the beginning of Tress of the Emerald Sea.[1]. She becomes a servant of the dragon Xisisrefliel at the bottom of the Crimson Sea.
Appearance and Personality
Crow is a severe figure with a black feathered hat and tan skin.[1]
Attributes and Abilities
She is one of the best shots known to Hoid.[2]
Crow was a spore eater, which is a symbiosis granting extensive defensive abilities at the cost of constantly draining water from her body.[3] She does not have true control over the Verdant vines, with them reacting on their own to protect anything that could bring harm to her.
She commands her crew with intimidation and control. She is also able to best several people in an attempted mutiny without using these powers.[4]
She uses Midnight Essence to spy on her crew members, using Midnight Aether spores.[5]
She apparently must remain close to Xisisrefliel to keep the verdant spore in remission.[6] Although it isn't known if this is the truth, or a lie to discourage her from escaping.[6]
History
Crow becomes captain of Crow's Song and convinces the crew to turn to piracy as an alternative to participating in the King's war against the Sorceress. In collusion with Laggart, she plans to cross the line from piracy (for tribute) to deadrunning (extirpation) which will make the entire crew into outlaws among outlaws. Though Tress foils this plan, Crow conserves her with the plan to exchange Tress' services for Crow being healed from spore eating.
She brought Tress down to the depths of the Crimson Sea in order to sell her to Xisisrefliel in return for being healed by her condition.[7] However, Tress managed to bargain with the dragon in order to turn Crow herself in, which he accepted. Due to this bargain, she was kept at the bottom of the sea and forced to serve Xisisrefliel for the rest of her life.[6]
