== Appearance and Personality ==
{{image|Crow by Marie Seeberger.jpg|side=left|width=250px}}Crow is a stout, distinctive figure with a black feathered hat, a severe face, and tan skin.{{book ref|tress|12}} Her heart is described as a twisted lump of smouldering coal.{{book ref|tress|25}}To the midnight essence, she smells more like a plant than a person.{{book ref|tress|31}} The only time the crew knew her to be mirthful is when a sailor speared himself in the crotch with his own boarding hook.{{book ref|tress|33}} Crow considers a nice cup to be loot.{{book ref|tress|35}}
{{quote
|She was, it might be noted, a perfect example of why the word jerk needs so many off-color synonyms. One could exhaust all available options, invent a few apt new ones, and still not be able to completely describe her. Truly an inspiration to the vulgar poet.
 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Crow is a [[spore eater]], which is a symbiosis granting extensive defensive abilities at the cost of constantly draining water from her body.{{book ref|tress|28}} 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 has survived a outabout 1 year longer than would be expected.
 
She has a sixth sense about others such as a clergyman might have,{{book ref|tress|20}} but she uses it to dominate others.{{book ref|tress|48}} She is also able to best several people in an attempted mutiny without relying on verdant aether powers.{{book ref|tress|50}} She is also a crack shot.{{book ref|tress|26}}
She apparently must remain close to Xisisrefliel to keep the verdant spore in remission.{{book ref|tress|52}} Although it isn't known if this is the truth, or a lie to discourage her from escaping.{{book ref|tress|52}}

== History ==
The attack on ''[[Oot's Dream]]'' was the crew's first voyage as pirates.{{book ref|tress|17}} They sewed their first pirate flag after Tress came on board.{{book ref|tress|13}}
Crow becomes captain of ''[[Crow's Song]]'', a fine merchant vessel, and convinces the crew to turn to piracy as an alternative to participating in the King's war against the Sorceress.{{book ref|tress|17}} 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. The ship's prior sproutedsprouter, [[Weev]], tried to blackmail her, so she had him executed with the rationale that he wouldn't join the crew in turning to piracy.
 
Though [[Tress]] foils the deadrunner plot, Crow conserves her with the plan to exchange Tress' services to [[Xisisrefliel]] for Crow being healed from spore eating.
