Tiffy once asked why she was obsessed with pirates.

Once, Tiffy was a mermaid living in the Baring Strait. She feasted on the dead corpses of children sacrifices that were given to her by fearful villagers that believed she was a goddess. With long, raven black hair and dark skin, she was believed to be the goddess of death. They had gotten a flood two years ago, and believed it to be a plague placed upon their village because of the hungry goddess.

So, every two weeks, they offer a new child to the goddess of death. This time though, after pirates rampaged the village, they had been left with nothing. In order to get revenge on the pirates, the village kidnapped all fifty of their children and offered them to the goddess Tiffany.

Tiffany was a lonely goddess. When she met all of the children, with their missing eyes and legs and hands, she ate them with no hesitation.

Little did she know, they give you diherria. So, with an uncontrollable need to poo, she ran to the restroom. Another thing that she didn't know though, was that pirates are like corn, and when you eat them, their skin comes out in your poo. So, when she looked into the watery mess, she saw adorable pirate skins in the tiolet.

The image both scared and amazed her, tears running down her cheeks as she watch the toilet. She needed to poo again, and the force of it was so great that her tail broke into two pieces. She nearly bled to death, not being able to keep herself swimming in the brown and red water.

Her nearly dead body washed onto the shore, and due to the blood-loss, she lost her memory. The only image she had left on her blank slate was the skins of the dead pirate children. But, she didn't know they were skins; she thought they were merely adorable children. She smiled mindlessly, her split tail shaking and her gills fruitlessly trying to breathe in air.

That's when her magical mermaid powers took over.

As she was dying, her powers healed the wounds, not re-connecting the tail, but healing them and forming legs. Her gills closed up, and the previously un-used lungs began working again. As she breathed, she wobbly sat up on her new legs; a mindless smile plastered on her face.

A pirate ship approached the beach that she was sitting on, and the lookout smiled impishly at the naked girl sitting on the beach. Their eyes locked, and she smiled as people on the beach ran away, yelling "Pirates!"

Her first word was spoken then, within a smile and hoarse whisper. "Pirates."
