"This paining is kinda sorta bad? Like...I dunno. Its just stick figures and simple shapes!" you bluntly said.
"Ah! My sweet sister, your words scar my heart like a sharp sword!" Robin dramatically said. He always got like this when you told him his paintings were bad. It was almost routine at this point!
"I'm just telling the truth!" you exclaimed.
"It's fine, its fine! One day I'll make a painting worthy of your praise!" Robin declare, extending a finger to the sky.
"We'll see," you muttered.
"Okay, that's enough from you two. Dinner's ready," Krane suddenly said, popping her head into the room.
"Woo, dinner!" Robin cheered, quickly tearing off his paint flecked body suit, revealing another body suit underneath, except this time it was spotless. You raced Robin to the kitchen, but he was faster than you. You grunted in annoyance as you took your seat. After a bit of squabbling with your older brother, Krane shut everyone up by placing a plate of steak in front of them.
"Dig in," Krane said stoically before ravenously tearing into her own steak. Her face was as unchanging as ever, even as she gluttonously devoured her food. Robin meanwhile was busy cutting his steak into various squared and triangles before he slowly chewed on the food, giving comments on how each 'shape' tasted like. You for the most part, ate normally. Though in rather large bites, as you were a growing girl!
"So Wren, are you excited for the Founding Day Festival?" Krane asked, her face covered with meat juice. She cleaned her face off with a towel that placed next to Krane before she ate.
"Heck yeah I am!" you declared, pumping your fist into the air. "Wait. What's Founding Day again?"
"C'mon Wren! You learned this at school!" Robin said.
"School makes me sleepy!" was your lame reply. Krane shook her head and after a moment, explained what Founding Day was.
"Its the celebration of when the Fenn Nobles founded the Fenn Archipelago hundreds of years ago. Usually the celebration would only be held in their castle walls, but this year they're making it a public spectacle, at the request of the prince."
"Oh, Miles did that? Neat!" you said. "But cool, a festival! It's gonna be a ton of fun!"
"It will be! Lots of people all over the world are going to come to the island! I'll get to show off my art to so many people!" Robin said happily, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"I am also very excited," Krane said monotonously, not a slither of emotion showing on her face. Dinner got even more animated as the three of you talked about the festival and what you'd do. Robin wanted to see all the art exhibits, Krane wanted to find more funny shirts, and you were excited for everything, but secretly you wanted to see pirate stuff! Treasure, stories, everything!
Eventually it got late and you all went to your rooms to go to bed. As you walked to your room, you passed by a large, empty room. It used to be where your parents slept, but you never met them before. According to your older siblings, your parents were travelling merchants and one day they never came back. Robin and Krane both thought they were dead, but you were more optimistic! You knew they were alive and it was one of the bigger reasons why you wanted to become a pirate.
You'll find them one day! But you didn't let that worry you as you went into your bedroom, a rather plain room with a large bed, a large desk, and some toys strewn about. Mainly pirate toys, like a foam sword or a cheap eye patch made of a scratchy fabric. You crawled into bed and quickly fell asleep, excited for the days ahead.
---
After a nice breakfast with Krane and Robin, they had both left the house. They both had jobs, Krane being a clerk at the general store in town and Robin working hard labor at the farming fields. It was how your family got money. You felt somewhat bad you didn't help in that regard, but Krane and Robin absolutely refused to let you work, insisting that you play like a normal eight year old should!
With the first day of summer vacation beginning, you did what was only natural for you! You ran to the secret spot and to your disappointment, you didn't see Miles or June. With Miles it was somewhat expected, as he lived in the castle on the edge of the island so it took him a bit of time to get into town, but June was always here! She practically lived right next door to the hideout!
But you shrugged, it wouldn't be the first time you had been here early. You looked around the shabby hut and grinned when you saw a beat up scarecrow that you, June, and Miles had stolen from a farm one day. Then June tried to arrest you and Miles for stealing, along with turning herself in, but it turned out the farmer was going to throw away the scarecrow anyway and let you have it!
With nobody around, you closed your eyes and drifted into your imagination. You were suddenly on large ship, standing across from the scarecrow. It was now wearing a marine uniform and it held a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other!
"I'm taking you down!" the marine scarecrow boasted.
"You can't take me down, I'm King of the Pirates, Wren B. Reed!" you defiantly exclaimed with a grin. You got ready to fight the sinister scarecrow! You'd fight with...
[] Your bare hands! No weapon could match the damage your fists can do!
[] A melee weapon! This weapon is what made you so feared throughout the seas! (Write in on what weapon. Anything is really up for grabs here, swords, spears, etc etc.)
[] A ranged weapon! With this weapon, no opponent has ever gotten close enough to touch you! (Write in on what ranged weapon. Pistols, rifles, slings, etc etc.)
But that wouldn't be all! Along with your preferred method of combat, you had another boon! Another thing that made you King of the Pirates!

I liked how much character bled through such simple scenes. The siblings were well done.

A slingshot is pretty unique for an oc and One Piece has a habit of destroying melee weapons not made by famous peeople. Less sure about the second but characters defined by their intelligence can be a bit dry and strength could lead to a bigger slingshot!

Veekie, any chance I can convince you of the awesomeness of slingshots? Alongside intelligence, they're a much easier method of delivering specialty ammunition to our opponents but with stregth and our size, we could end up firing cannonballs!

In one hand you held your trusty battle axe and in your other you held...nothing! For your fists were also trustworthy in their strength! Both of these were backed up by your incredible natural strength, which could let you chop and crush entire ships with a single blow! The scarecrow marine tried to shoot at you with the pistol, but you used the massive blade of the axe to block the bullet before it reached you.
You rushed forward and tried to smash the scarecrow in the face, but he managed to dodge! But the power of your blow resulted in half the ship being ripped apart by the pure pressure behind the punch! You quickly spun around, your massive axe feeling like a feather due to your strength and you easily chopped the scarecrow marine in half, along with destroying the rest of the ship! Straw flew everywhere as you laughed in your victory...
"Wrerererererere!"
"Wren, why are you laughing like that?" a voice suddenly asked, making you jump in surprise. You snapped from your daydream to see Miles, who has giving you a smug grin.
"Oh, uh...I just thought of a funny joke! Yeah, that's it..." you muttered.
"Fair enough!" Miles said, dropping the issue. He looked around and then asked, "Where's June?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard a thing since we left the hideout yesterday," you shrugged.
"I wonder if she's angry with me asking about her mom's treasure..." Miles groaned, rubbing his forehead. "I was kinda being bossy about it."
"It's fine! Maybe she's spending the day with her dad or she's sleeping in!" you pointed out.
"I guess we'll just have to wait. So, let's play pirates vs pirates! We both want to become Pirate King, so its not fair to make you a marine!" Miles exclaimed, showing off a large smile.
"Okay!" you happily answered. Thus you and Miles began to play fight and wrestle. Sometimes smacking sticks against each other, sometimes the two of you rolling on the ground. But due to your massive size advantage, you won every game! But Miles was much tougher than an imaginary scarecrow at least!
After beating Miles for the tenth time in a row, he called for a break. You nodded and helped him up as he dusted off his clothes and hair of dirt. It was well into the day now and there wasn't a sign of June. Miles sighed and told you, "Wren, I admit. I'm kinda worried about June. Even if she was being with her dad or was sick, she'd still let us know somehow."
"You have a point," you replied, feeling somewhat worried about June. But you felt it was too early to go into panic mode like Miles seemed to be doing. Maybe Miles was a worrywart!
"Let's go to her house, maybe she's there," Miles suggested. You saw nothing wrong in checking in, at least. So you agreed and the two of you began walking to June's house. After awhile, you and Miles were standing in front of June's house. It was a two story tall house that looked rather normal all things considered, and it was next to identical houses which made up that part of the neighborhood.
There were no lights on in the house and you couldn't see much through the windows, just an empty living room. Miles went up to the door and knocked, calling out June's name. "June? Are you there?"
There was no response. Miles knocked on the door harder and shouted June's name louder, but he was met with silence. Miles then turned towards you and said, "You knock! You're super loud when you knock!"
"I'm not that loud!" you exclaimed, crossing your arms with a pout.
"C'mon Wren! Knock!" Miles ordered, a serious look in his eyes. He was getting bossy again. After a moment, Miles sighed and said, "Look, I'm just really worried I hurt June by asking about her mom's treasure! You had to stop me! So knock, Wren! I just want to apologize!"
You sighed. Despite Miles playing with you and June, commoners, there was still some spoiled royalty within him. But you never blamed him, it was just how he had grown up.
What will you do?
[] Refuse to knock on the door. Obviously June's out doing something or doesn't want to talk. Let's leave her alone.
[] Fine, knock on the door. You don't want Miles getting mad at you. Plus, he's just worried.
[] Something else? (Write In)
