Hi Vin,  I guess I'm back for more advice, since you're so great at it.

You do remember a while back when I asked for ideas on Skipper Riley, right? Well, I'm thinking of tweaking her a bit from her old description as I just got a new idea from analyzing the shanty (Old Billy Riley) that she is part off. Surely I want to keep the traits that you suggested but I was wondering what could I add more?

Here's what I think the story from the shanty goes:

First, we are introduced to Old Billy Riley whom is 1) great at dancing 2)is the captain of a drougher 3)married another captain's daughter 4) Mr and Mrs Riley had a daughter. He (or his wife) has some disappointment with the employees (...didn't like the sailors) which may come from the latter having interest in his daughter. The final verse speaks of the cotton screw  (Screw her up boys and away we go boys) which "her" either refers to the cotton or possibly a slave hung onto it (very likely one of the sailors metioned before) (yes, cotton screws have been known to double as toturing devices).

Skipper being the daughter of Billy Riley, may actually be destined to become a slave owner, so what could I add from such a background to her personality?
