Lotte de Meer

After liquidating all your tulip bulb stocks at the height of Dutch flower-trading bubble, you managed to acquire a swift Fluyt merchant ship...and the captain is a girl?!?
as you strut down the jetty to take a look at your sleek new sailing vessel, you spot some sort of excitable little figure waving you down enthusiastically
"~Hallo! Hoi! Goedendag! You must be the new owner! Um, as you know, you actually purchased a company which possesses this vessel, meaning the contracts of the crew along with it. That means...I'll be your captain - Lotte de Meer! U-unless you fire me right away...I know I don't have any experience, but I had great scores in training, promise!"

This is your captain? She can't even see over the ship's wheel! The pipsqueak is gazing up at you with sky-blue puppydog eyes, having gone still after her energetic greeting, now has her hands clasped awaiting your verdict on her continued employment. It would take a heart of stone to turn her away now...
