Personally I am not crazy about having the cast of characters at the beginning of a story because I'd rather dive right in. In fact it's probably even worse to put a cast of characters three or four chapters in! But there are a lot of characters in this story so I had better do at least a partial list:
Snarfetta: little girl
Brunhilda: little girl
Pirates (please automatically include "very dirty" in all descriptions so I don't have to keep writing it. Thank you.):
Captain Jack B. Black: Captain of the Whiskey Witch. Secretly a nice guy, always overcompensating for it with acts of brutality, such as beating his underlings regularly with a cat-o-nine-tails. Only clean pirate on board.
Bo'sun: the boatswain of the Whiskey Witch. Smells armpitty and always wears stripes. Has a scar on his left cheek a wench gave him. Can't imagine why.
G ThumpityThump (G-Thump): First Mate. Mean, with lots of hair. Likes to bang things. Frustrated drummer. Was not properly encouraged in his musical career as a child and now has a crappy attitude.
Fizzy Bottle: Skinny, very stupid, with fizzy hair that sticks up. Picks his teeth with his dirty knife a lot. Likes to trip people and then play innocent. Mends sails and shoots cannons when asked to.
Sharky Pegleg: Even meaner than G-Thump, too quiet, with sly looks and a crooked nose. White even teeth and huge arms. Wooden leg, needless to say. Navigator.
Petunia: Parrot belonging to Sharky Pegleg. Too loud, obnoxious, very beautiful, green and red. Swears like a sailor.
Woodeye McGee: Several rude habits, above and beyond what is usual for pirates: spits on the foredeck, right in front of everyone's feet as they pass - except the Captain, the First, and Sharky. In spite of his wooden eye, however, he is an excellent helmsman.
Scurv: Dunked Brunhilda in the water at the beginning. Even dumber than Fizzy Bottle and has fewer teeth.
Gnarly Muffins: The cook. Fat. Sleeps between meals. Nicer to the children than the rest of the crew, but likes to pinch.
Boodlemeister and Butterchunk: The two large and ferocious kitties (brothers) that the crew keeps on board to demolish the rats. Quickly befriended by Snarfetta and Brunhilda. As we shall soon see.
Various other and sundry sailors and pirates. Aaarrrrr.
