Cutie Mark: A magical spiral circling into a golden gear.

Fusee's story was nothing particularly special. When she was a little filly she enjoyed hanging around their local clock shop. One day the proprietor was having a hard time fixing a particularly curmudgeonly grandfather clock and with the assistance of both Fusee and her Sister Remontoire it was fixed. Shortly after it was shown the two had both gotten their cutie marks.

Unique Traits:

Mental Mail: Due to the strange ways she views the world and how her thought processes work she's proven highly resistant to even the strongest of mental based magics such as mind control or emotional manipulation.

Mad Genius: The Captain's strange way of looking at things and state of mind have allowed her to make various devices, machines, and vehicles, that function much more effectively that most of the world would think and has been able to improve on many mechanical devices and advancements made by ponies all over the world in her lifetime. With how well they work some have often wondered whether there is some type of unique magic she's using that allow her to enhance her technology to such a point.

 

History: 

Fusee was born in Prance with her twin sister Remontoire. Since she was a small foal she proved to be... a little bit greedy in many ways. She was rather possessive of her sister and insisted on keeping a close eye on her at all times and often stole toys form her sister's collection and added them to her own. Her sister Remontoire would also indulge in a similar mindset if only to get her things back, but despite this; the two foals proved to still look out for eachother and care about eachother to a great degree. 

The two fillies began to prove to be a pair of troublemakers when they were younger, Often swiping bits of food or loose change from the pockets of random ponies for their own amusements as contests between eachother to see who could get the most off the street... with Fusee consistently winning out. 

The older the two got the more their desire to steal and prove themselves as great thieves (and being insanely rich) seemed to grow. It was becoming obvious though that Fusee's drive for it was rapidly outclassing Remon's but she still tug along for the fun of it. With the two mare's genius intellects, increasingly bizarre plans, and increasing showmareship of great clockwork machinery that assisted their jobs, the two mare's left a sizeable mark on the city of Prance to the point they're heists boosted tourism to a great degree... that is until one night when it became obvious that both of couldn't elude the police. So The Captain made a choice and left her sister to the police and to be on the safe side left the city not to return until years later.

With the collective funds of all their heists, The unicorn decided to take a new but similar profession to her old one; piracy! The good ol' buckling of the swashes kind. Despite being a bit touched in the head, Fusee wasn't very fond of violence. If she could avoid it that's be perfect, so she formed an idea , used the money to buy a ship and make her start as a lowly captain named "Crankshaft" pretending to be the first mate of a fiersome new captain to the Isle of Puerto Aguila... and even began circulating a myth about a pirate captain whose l had turned herself into a monstrous mechanical griffin  who could rend and destroy ships with nothing but her own claws. 

Using the rest of the gold she'd gotten she built a large exoskeletal magic enhanced suit that would let her suit this image well and thus began her career as a mechanical griffin who ruled the skies around Puerto Aguila: . She did many raids on many ships and plundered many a treasure, enough to become someone many of the pirates in the Island of Puerto Aguila as a mad "Queen" of the island with a large mechanical fortress hidden away on that landmass known only to her crew.

In all the fun she'd had as a pirate She had not stopped keeping track of knowledge on her sister, and curiously didn't come to free her in the years she'd been soaring the skies and stealing from merchants and royal ships. Upon learning that her sister had left the dungeons of Equestria for high profile criminals she promptly went to see her and asked if she would like to join her like in the old days. Oddly enough, she declined and decided to stay and find a different ... profession. While the captain didn't really enjoy that information she was fine with letting her sister choose her own path (even if in her opinion it sounded incredibly boring). The two stayed in contact for a while until Remontoire decided to settle down with some reclusive magic scholar fellow and eventually had a foal. 

After the events that left their foal an orphan in the care of the Silverbeaks, Fusee began to try and get in touch with her niece; her more normal attempts to be able to meet her or contact her were blocked by the father's side of the family and the griffin family who took her in. While it was rather frustrating at that point The captain came to a simple solution: Track her down, meet her, bring her here and make an offer to join her crew! Maybe she'll even learn about some more ponies, griffins, or otherwise who'd be interested in joining as well.
 

Character Summary:

Fusee, is and always has been a greedy and rather confusing mare. She has profound love of the finer things in life an her own mechanical and engineering passions and will do whatever she has to do in order to support them to the ludicrous degree that she demands, despite this she is entirely against the idea of taking a life on a raid or any heist or theft and tries her hardest to avoid conflicts unless it is entirely necessary for her goals: and even then she always uses items and gadgets to pacify someone or just keep them out of the way for a time. While the Captain is unashamed of being a criminal, pirate, or whatever you call her, she seems to not be without her own set of twisted values. She often regards anyone who runs with her in the past or present as family and will often try and find some way to repay them for help they had given her in her past or later.

When not trying to steal something from you or whoever her plan involves that day, week, or month. Fusee is chipper, playful and mischievous mare who is almost always seem smiling slightly but never showing her teeth unless she is truly ecstatic: she is often described as having a smile that when she shows teeth can rapidly go from "unsettling" to "creepy" and then to terrifying. When she is out and about she tends to dress only in a beige trench coat and top hat with what appears to be a disco-ball emblazoned on the front of it.
