Character: Nami
Series: One Piece
Character Age: 18
Canon: One Piece is a tale chock-full of pirates, adventure, friendship, and of course, a healthy dose of pure crack. The story follows Monkey D. Luffy on his quest to find the mysterious treasure, One Piece, and become the Pirate King. Nami is one of the best navigators on the Grand Line -- she's smart, sensible, and usually takes the responsibility of keeping the rest of the crew in line... or trying, at least.
Nami spent most of her teenage years collecting a great sum of money due to Tragic Backstory (TM). She's sneaky, underhanded, an expert thief, and will do just about anything for money -- short of endangering her friends. Of course, her love for her crew isn't about to stop her from charging them ridiculous amounts of interest on the money she loans them, or manipulating them into doing exactly what she wants. What else would you expect from a professional pirate?

... This doesn't look anything like a relaxing island vacation.
Where's the resort? The expensive shops? The theraputic massages? Once again, I'm stuck roughing it... And the reading material offered to me at the gate, while... unique, wasn't really as informative as I'd have hoped. I was looking for some information on the local culture, maybe some fun places to visit, but instead I've discovered... something entirely different. “No AYE In Team”? “Booty Call II: Plunder Down Under”? “Yo, Ho!: 101 Pickup Lines For The Desperate Pirate”? I get the unpleasant feeling that I'm being ... mocked. Well, that's the less disturbing explanation.
The guide thrust into my hands by one of the locals didn't help much either. I don't care how amateur a cartographer the guy who wrote this was, he could've marked the map better than “Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here... And Here... And Here... And Especially Here... And You Don't Even Want To Know About This One.”
Of course, this just proves that you're in need of my services~! Wouldn't you all just love an accurate map of this place, so you can quit falling into the unmarked ditches and wandering into the swamp for days on end? Don't you want to know all the landmarks in your delightful shantytown? Of course you do. Luckily, I happen to be an expert mapmaker! Now, all I require in exchange for a fabulous illustrated guide to your charming home is:

Now, all I require in exchange for a fabulous illustrated guide to your charming home is:
- an experienced local to accompany me and take care of the colorful wildlife (and be on the lookout for cannibals, quicksand, land-squid, or a combination of all three);
- a scroll of paper, a compass, and the best-quality ink you can find - no, crayons don't count - no, not even if they have toothmarks in them already;
- the nicest room you have available - bonus points for room service;
- one of those mechanical cows! And I want it gold-plated and lowered~ ♥
- as much treasure as I can fit on the back of my adorably useful new pet!
