• Family Information

  Father: Demétrio Agostinho da Costa (muggle)
  Mother: Suhaad binti Hasan
  
  Family backstory: Agostinho Demétrio da Costa was born to a poor family in early mid-1700's on the northwestern coast of Portugal. He worked at the docks in his hometown (being a port town) from early adolescence, the sea and its promise of freedom the only thing keeping him sane. That and his family. He ultimately escaped the hard labor at the age of 18, finally being able to save up enough money for passage on a ship. The ship brought him to southern Spain, where he enlisted in the Spanish Navy, before beginning his rise to one of the most prized ship captains in the famed Spanish Armada. However, the more time he spent serving the Spanish king, he realized how corrupt the King's methods were and promptly held a secret meeting with two fellow captains whom he suspected felt similarly. His presumptions were correct and they agreed to slowly assemble their crews until they had full support. And when they did, all three ship turned against the Armada, becoming a band of pirates called os Três Irmãos, notorious for their complete hatred for the Spanish King, who had any and all family members that they could find killed.
  Suhaad binti Hasan was born into poverty as well, as the second of seven children to a rice farmer. She grew up in Malaysia, working with her parents and siblings on the rice farm until the age of 23 during the British occupation of Malaysia. One day, they pulled twenty or so of the young adults from her town to be laborers, slaves, and servants in Britain and the Colonies. Luckily her ship was intercepted by Agostinho's and she and the others were freed, most sent to the nearest port town so they could make their way back home. But Suhaad begged to stay, as she also felt the same sense of freedom Agostinho did and he allowed her to, despite a warning his right-hand man gave him about having women on board. Eventually, the two fell in love and became an almost unstoppable duo, pillaging and plundering the Atlantic Ocean. Soon, Ramira Constança da Costa was born, though when Ramira had been staying on one of the other boats of os Três Irmãos, they were attacked, and though they fought valiantly, winning the battle, many lives were lost, including both Suhaad and Agostinho.

• Background

  Ramira Constança da Costa was born in a small port town but spent no longer than a few days there before being taken out to the sea once more, where she was raised. Her childhood may have been bloody beyond imagination, but she was taught many helpful seafaring skills. When her parents died, a new captain was appointed, but, thankfully, they were a friend and did not maroon Ramira somewhere along their travels. However, the three ships were hit by a hurricane that devastated the band of pirates, killing many crew members and throwing more overboard. One of the latter crew members was Ramira, but she was one of the lucky ones and was able to make it shore. From there, she worked various jobs across Europe until she was able to buy her own ship, which was later dubbed a Constelação, a beautiful three-masted galleon painted midnight blue.
