gwenfrankenstienSteam DCU version of this cover, because it's like the only one with the whole team on, since obviously Cissie left before Anita joined.
L-R: Miss Cecily King-Jones; Lobo, the Wolf of Czarnia; Cacica Anita Fite of the Xaymaca Taíno; Connor Kent, Viscount Cadmus; Captain Timothy Drake, Esq.; Miss Cassandra Sandsmark; Bartholomew Allen, Esq.; the late Miss Greta Suzanne Hayes.
Eventually, Lady Elias & Lord Manchester Schools are not going to have any students left, since they keep all running off to fight pirates.
Since leaving Lady Elias, Cecily has never been happier, although her mother is probably going to kill her when she finds out. Cecily still practices her archery whenever she can, but her area of expertise aboard the Justice is in Analytical Engineering.
Lobo. Uh, I am not actually sure what the deal is? I guess he's still an alien bounty hunter, although I assume he's actually sixteen rather than magically-age-regressed. He's just hanging around because killing pirates is fun, or so he says.
Cacica Anita Fite. Her family have been rulers for centuries, through the Spanish colonisation of Xamayca (which the Spaniards renamed Sandiago). They weren't about to give up their island just because it is now Jamaica, a British colony. However, her father recognised that she would go nowhere in this world if she were raised traditionally, so he had her sent to England to receive her education at Lady Elias. She was assigned to room with Cecily and Cassandra, given that the administration are unaware of the existence of the third roommate. She turned the place metaphorically upside down. After hearing of the departure of Miss Caroline Keene-Kelly and Miss Stephanie Brown from the school, Anita persuaded her roommates to follow their example and escape with her. Anita's mother and grandmother taught her many things, chief of which were the traditional medicines of the Taíno, which, supplemented by skills learned at Lady Elias, allow her to work as the Justice's Chief Medical Officer as well as her greatest swordsperson.
Conner Ellis is the adopted son of Clark Ellis, the Lord Kent, although the striking resemblance between the two has fueled rumours that Conner is in fact Kent's bastard son. The reality is far more sinister, and as such has been hushed-up. He used his father's money and power to acquire the Justice for his close friend, Timothy Drake. He has some resentment towards Timothy for taking what he views to be his captainship, but they trust one another completely. Connor is actually quite content with his position as First Mate, since he would not be able to handle the responsibility of a Captain. Nevertheless he hopes some day to take over his father's position as Lord of Kent and Captain of the Planet, with his sweetheart Cassandra by his side.
Captain Timothy Drake was tired of constantly being in his collegues' collective shadow aboard the Robin, so with Lord Gotham's approval he struck out on his own in the Justice. His crew is composed almost entirely of schoolmates from Lord Manchester Academy or its sister school, Lady Elias. As such, he knows he can trust them with his life and with the lives of citizens they have all sworn to protect from the growing threat of piracy.
Having spent much of her formative years on airships, Cassandra feels at home aboard the Justice in a way she could not at Lady Elias. She uses that prior experience to her advantage as the Justice's Chief Navigatrix. She is unsure of where her relationship with Connor Ellis stands; she fears that marriage will force her to settle down into a life of housewivery and motherhood. This is because she has never met Lois Lane-Ellis, the Lady Kent.
Bartholomew Allen was raised by his grandmother, Mrs. Iris Allen. Constant exposure to Mrs. Allen's tales of her late husband's adventures (both as an officer of the law and as an early proponent of the use of smaller and faster airships in anti-piracy combat) made it almost inevitable that Bartholomew would make the eradication of criminals of the air his life's work, although nobody was expecting him to do so quite so soon. Discounting the late Miss Hayes, Bartholomew is the youngest member of the Justice's crew. Captain Drake was concerned about Bartholomew's apparent lack of experience, but he has proven himself to be an extremely quick study, as if piloting aircraft were in his blood.
Greta refused to let her friends leave Lady Elias without her. She has elected to appear in more practical clothing, despite being incorporeal, because she feels awkward when she is the only one in ruffled dresses. Having a crew member who can make herself invisible has proved useful for reconnaissance purposes.
