Mariamelo

direct purchase from a user, 25g

Known in town as "Doll". Her real name Edolie is a bit of a secret, and she oft identifies herself as Maria Melo.
She's a great singer, and very energetic, but she doesn't like singing for money.
She's part of Elena and Maria's crew at the Third Sister.

Doll has that unconventional alluring beauty that you can't help staring at her, despite her not being pretty.

Initially from a wealthy family, the daughter of a merchant, Doll opted to become a sailor's wife because Mauro had her swooning. Her jewellery is all from her past life, as once she decided to elope with him, her family cut all ties with her.

Upon one summer's morning, I carefully did stray
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay
Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seemed to be in pain
Saying William, when you go, I fear you will never return again
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
His hair it hangs in ringlets, his eyes as black as coal
My happiness attend him wherever he may go
From Tower Hill to Blackwall, I'll wander, weep and moan
All for my jolly sailor, until he sails home
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
My name it is Maria, a merchant's daughter fair
And I have left my parents and three thousand pounds a year
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor that ploughs the raging sea
While up aloft in storm, from me his absence mourn
And firmly pray, arrive the day, he's never more to roam
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
