Lala Hollywood

Lala Hollywood, also known as the Queen of Pirates, is the commander of the Pirate Fleet and captain of the Hollywood Pirates. She is the daughter of Alto Hollywood, sister of Falsetto Hollywood, niece of Baritone Hollywood, and bride of Chorus. Before she was born, her father promised his daughter to Chorus in exchange for protection of his crew while he was in the Devil's Sea, the most dangerous part of the ocean. She was taken prisoner by the town of Stormwater as she ran errands along the shoreline and kept in the Seastone tower, prompting an extended siege by the pirate fleet. She became captain of the Red Carpet after killing her uncle in a duel.

Appearance
Lala is a slender pale woman of above average height with long straight blond hair and brown eyes. She is noted for being very beautiful. Lala wears a red leather jacket that falls down to her knees and a black pirate hat that is often pulled down at the brim to partially obscure her face. She wears several bracelets on each wrist and has two long golden earrings.

Personality
Lala is headstrong, energetic, wistful, and sensitive. She rarely hesitates or is troubled by moral questions about her actions. She cares for her family, but can also display a callous utilitarianism when thinking of what is best for the crew. She is rational and generally aware of limits. Lala is mostly cooperative with Chorus and follows his directions, though resents his restrictions on her freedom, which she values deeply. While she thrives as a pirate on the open seas, she yearns for land, which he has not spent a meaningful amount of time on since she was a child.

Skills and Equipment
Lala is a capable sword fighter and an exceptional marksman. She is extremely agile and adroit. As a lifelong pirate, she knows how to manage nearly all aspects of a ship including navigation, rigging, and maintenance. She can speak multiple languages.

Lala carries a spyglass, cutlass, and crossbow. She also has many tools and treasures in her room on The Red Carpet.

Chapter 6: Wrath of the Sea Dogs
Lala was broken out of the Seastone Tower by Jatin and Solomon, using Solomon's boomdust bombs. She retrieved her belongings and escaped down a robe Jatin had brought. On her way down, she killed five guards with her crossbow.

She informed her rescuers of her identity and the dangerous Chorus posed to the city as long as she remained on land. She expressed her desire to see a forest, just for a little while, while she was on land, promising she would return soon and they would be handsomely rewarded. Jatin obliged, taking her to the forest in a wagon drawn by his chaos horse. They spent an hour in the forest. Lala found herself appreciating his company and thanked him for taking her there, saying she couldn't remember the last time she had a friend. When she announced that it was time for her to return, Jatin told her that he loved her and she could stay with him, as his chaos horse was fast enough that the sunken lord could never catch them. Lala shook her head and told him she belonged with the sea. As Jatin returned her to the shoreline, she offered him a ship, or a treasure of his choosing, but he refused to take anything from her. Right before she got back on the ocean, she whispered "We hate thunderstorms" into Jatin's ear.

As Lala saw that three of her ships were either destroyed or damaged, a cold anger washed over her. “Forgive me, uncle. I bear you no ill will as a man, but as a leader I cannot accept you. You lead us to this potentially total disaster. It is time for new blood," she said sternly. As she boarded the Red Carpet, she splashed rum on Baritone Hollywood's face, signaling a duel. Baritone soberly accepted. It is over in seconds, and the captain’s head flies. “Hollywood Pirates!” she declares. “Lay your swords before your new captain.” Every single crew member obliges. Lala names her brother her first mate and leads the Pirate Fleet away from Stormwater.
