Gifford Neema

Neema Gifford is a pirate and navigator of the Blue Wonder Pirates. She is the third member of the crew and the second to join. Born in the prosperous market town of Seebleport to a wealthy family of merchants, Neema became fascinated with a life of sailing the seas at a young age. Having excelled in geography in school, she was able to memorize the locations of the various landmarks she was taught about with ease. Like Kenny who would join the crew directly after her, Neema does not act as a fighter for the crew. While she is considerably skilled in, she is by no means strong enough to tackle the stronger enemies which the crew comes across on their travels. For a young girl she is capable of delivering strong punches and kicks that can easily take out weaker opponents. When not using her brute physical strength in a crisis, Neema can be found administering corporal punishment to the crew’s more idiotic males – mostly because of disruptions caused by the squabbling captain and his so called first mate.

Neema became a member of the Blue Wonder Pirates after Drystan and Makani arrived in their hometown in search of a suitable vessel, their only means of transporting the seas at the time being a wooden raft. Neema, hoping to use the two aspiring pirates to escape from the life she was dissatisfied with, convinced them to steal a ship from a group of local thugs.

At the moment, she has a bounty of 3,000,000 which is certainly remarkable for a pirate in the South Blue. It is the first bounty she obtained as well as the only one she has received so far. Out of the current crew members of the Blue Wonder Pirates, Neema has the second lowest bounty - Kenny's being the lowest at a measly 150. She obtained her first bounty alongside Drystan and Makani after the Blue Wonder Pirates were established as a formidable crew for their defeat of tyrant Vyker Malasseai and their concurrent liberation of the Komugi Islands from his rule.
