Black Hole Bonnie by Lord-Of-The-Guns

"Among the systems far and wide
One name all captains fear
You'll feel a pull inside your chest
When Black Hole Bonnies near

They say she was a damn good pilot
Perhaps one of the best
She served her long lost family
And wears their noble crest

In forbidden space she met her fate
Outnumbered ten-to-one
She and her ship were pulled into
A massive black hole sun

Some say it was a Devil's deal
Or some unstable drive
But Bonnie and her ship were fused
And came back out alive

With her new ship the Schwarzschild
And with Kugelblitz - her chain
She's free again to roam through space
And take what'er she claims

So watch yourself and watch your crew
Be careful where you steer
You'll feel a pull inside your chest
When Black Hole Bonnies near

My entry into the Cosmic Corsair Original Character Competition - Black Hole Bonnie. I decided to use black holes as an inspiration since their mystery, power and aesthetics seemed like they would translate well into a legendary pirate-type character.

Before she was a cosmic corsair she was a pilot, who fought for her family in a galaxy spanning war. She was lured into a trap where her ship's experimental drive was badly damaged, leaving her to drift through space and eventually be drawn into a black hole. But that was not the end.
Years passed - hundreds? Thousands? Before she emerged as Black Hole Bonnie, fused with her ship and possessed by dark energies that gave her powers over gravity. The powerful forces also tug at her mind however and the memory of her former life escapes her - all she has is her family crest and the desire to travel the stars.

Crest: From a noble family now forgotten, the symbol represents their fearlessness and passion for travelling the stars - it is meant to resemble a star, a compass and a ships wheel.

Weapon: Bonnie's chain Kugelblitz is said to be made from the compressed cores of a hundred planets. Since she exerts gravitational force over anything she touches, she uses the chain to grab her enemies and their ships from afar. I wanted to give her something that tied into the notion of being "pulled" into her gravitational field.

Hat: Bonnie's hat (and most of her body) is actually her old ship - the hat specifically is the topmost section that contained the experimental drive. I want there to be some vagueness as to whether it was the drive or something inside the black hole that changed her."
