She used to be an ordinary shrimp in a jar of some crazy witch testing unknown and illegal magic rituals, but one day during one of the rituals, a few druids rushed into the witch's basement to interrupt the ritual but then everything exploded with multi-colored smoke after this incident, she woke up outside the jar in a strange body and discovered that she knew the languages of monkeys (humans) and knew a lot about them, but despite this she escaped from the magician's abode to return home to other shrimps, but after returning to the coral reef she discovered that other shrimps were afraid of her and she couldn't breathe underwater so she settled in the port of a nearby city where after a while she robbed the local cargo of food sometimes returning to her family to feed them a little with a piece of herring or an unlucky fisherman who fell asleep drunk on the pier. but once, while she was rummaging in the hold of a certain ship at night, it suddenly sailed away in a cacophony of cannon fire and drunken war cries. Quickly taking her to the open sea, she managed to hide for the first two days, but as soon as the crew sobered up, the pirates discovered her in a barrel of herrings and after a brief but fierce fish defense, they caught her. The ship's captain, because he had just managed to steal a new warship, was in a great mood and instead of killing the stowaway, decided to put her to work on the ship and enlist her in the crew, and so began her life as a pirate. She helped with the maintenance of the cannons, in the kitchen, and because she could see well in the dark, she often performed night watches on the crow's nest. but when it was discovered that she could produce food that additionally heals, she became the main assistant of the medic and over time her position among the crew grew, and the pirates began to respect her like a big crazy evil family.
she received the name Petardka (firecracker) after when, as a novice, while trying to steal black powder from a military fort, she accidentally started a fire as a result of which the entire fort blew up and the pirates had to look for a new place to steal. however, one day the carefree pirate life came to an end when they were tracked down by a warship and with the superior force of the cannons blew the pirate ship to pieces, most of the pirates died in the shelling, the rest either drowned or were killed by the sailors. However, Petardka attached herself to an enemy ship and in revenge threw all the food and water out of the ship at night, hiding under an ornate mermaid, eating watermelons while the crew of the war ship was dying of hunger and thirst. When the ship reached land, everyone was already dead and Petardka went into the forest to explore the secrets of nature and strengthen her bonds with the elements.
