Ship's Carpenter, Oracle
Tracing Bloody Mary's history is difficult. We know that she left the southeastern deserts to attend the Golden Spike ceremony in Promintory Point where she met Pirate Grandpa, whom she later married. Previous to this, however, her story is clouded. Was she born human or coyote? Was she a were-coyote since birth or was this an aquired ability? The earliest record of her, and the only clues we have regarding her early life, are scattered newspaper stories of destructive chicken coop raids that could not be prevented with even the most sophisticated locks. These reports come from communities as far south as Santa Fe, New Mexico and as far north as Jackson, Wyoming, although they seem to center around a small community in southeastern Utah. Her nickname, Bloody Mary, was first given her by upset frontiersmen who had lost their chickens.
After marrying Grandpa Pirate, it seems she settled into a more human existance. Her ability as a fortune teller and oracle have been an invaluable asset to the family's treasure hunts.
