Description Having been banned from touching a paintbrush ever again, Higgins has been sent to help out in the writers' office...

Yes, this did briefly go up last week as well. Seemingly I failed with the scheduler. My apologies to anyone who got an unintended preview.

That fellow looks almost like me:  Hair, beard, baldness.

As someone further up the order noted, the character was based very much on a Youtuber who goes by the name of "The Mighty Jingles". He's ex-Royal Navy, and I lean heavily on his descriptions of life in the RN for how I portray life aboard Arcadia.

I'll go along with that.  Gotta have a reference point somewhere.

Wait a minute, did she ever wear glasses before? And whatever is a 'writers' office' aboard a war-er, superyacht?

That guy looks vaguely familiar...

And now that my gaze has drifted south of Ms. Higgins' eyes, I see what you did with those binders. You're just messing with me now. You're never going to forgive me for sending you that 'Happy Birthday' greeting in Comic Sans, are you?

"All characters and events depicted in this picture are entirely fictitious. Any similarity to actual events or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental."

Higgins has reading glasses, which she has been portrayed with once before...
 

...and would probably come in handy helping out the writer.  The ship's writer is basically ship's admin (a position I'm only really familiar with thanks to The Mighty Jingles ), so handles things like pay, changing money, leave and, when the ship is at Action Stations, recording what happens on the bridge, etc.


And no, no I will not.

I THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED JINGLES!

...oh dear, I just realized that young Higgins must be picking up a most _NAVY_ sense of humor...

*straightest face possible* All characters and events are works of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or on Youtube is entirely coincidental. Honest. Cross my heart and hope to die.

To be honest, I've been leaning quite hard on "Jingles Navy Stories" for how I envisage Arcadia as an environment. That said, she'll probably need that Navy sense of humour to survive...

How long aboard before she starts making, shall we say, jokes from behind?
...how old is she again?

Who knows, we'll see. She might still be a touch too innocent right now.

Age wise I tend to imagine her being around 18 or 19.

...That seems to me like the age when someone would pick up those jokes the quickest...
...well, not including middle-schoolers, but they're in a different category by dint of not fully understanding them yet.
