Early Life
Ashleigh (Ash) Jaedyn Bagster was born to a merchant by the name of Richard Bagster and his wive Elizabeth on the eve of September 4th 1699 in South Africa. She was one of a total of 5 children of which she was the only daughter. While her brothers took to all things related to trade, Ashleigh took to the operation of a ship like a fish to water. Contrary to the norm of women on ships the crew took her as a boon on board and enjoyed showing her their various duties. She had such a mind for navigation that by the time she was ten the sailing masters would let her chart their courses and by thirteen she was doing it without their supervision, only giving up the duty when the situation warranted more experience. Starting 1713 her father had series of unfortunate encounters with pirates to which two of her brothers and mother were lost in either exchange of fire or boarding action. It is these attacks that changed the course of Ash's life.
