Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Art had a stunning streak that ran through her hair. What colour was it?

Answer: ginger

This stunning ginger streak running through Art's hair was the result of a cannon blast gone wrong. It always reminded Art's posh father of Molly, Art's mother. Molly had flaming red hair like fire. It reflected both Art and Molly's personalities.

2. Which animal did Felix describe Art as?

Answer: leopard-fox

Felix described Art as a leopard-fox. She was cunning and slippery like a fox, and her red streak of hair was the colour of the fox's fur. She was also fierce and deceptive like a leopard. At first Felix thought her to be a highway man but later he found that she was female and captain of a ship.

3. Art had one possession of her dead mother's. What was it?

Answer: a parrot

Molly had a parrot called Plunquett. Plunquett was Molly's best friend and she taught the parrot to speak. Art was always reminded of her mother by Plunquette because the parrot talked in her mother's voice.

4. Arts' mother, the first Piratica, had a flag that she called the "Jolly Molly". What was the background colour of the flag?

Answer: pink

The "Jolly Moll" was pink for a girl. Molly Faith was one of the only female Pirates to sail the seas at the time and her bright pink flag made her easily recognisable. Other than the pink background it was a typical "Jolly Rodger" flag. Art adopted this flag when she sailed the seas.

5. Ebad Vooms, one of Arts' crew said that he was a royal descendant of which ancient civilisation?

Answer: Egyptians

Ebad Vooms is a King of Egypt and becomes Pharoah when Art and her crew wash up on the Egyptian coast in 'Piratica 2'. Ebad chooses to stay in Egypt and be king while the rest of the crew go and aid their country in battle.

6. What was the figure head of the Unwelcome Stranger holding?

Answer: A coffee cup

The figurehead was originally on the Coffee Ship but it was holed and they had to evacuate. Another ship was floating nearby and they pretended to be stranded and were taken aboard. The ship was called the Elephant. They commandeered the Elephant and renamed her the Unwelcome Stranger after Molly's ship.

The figurehead of the Coffee Ship was found by them, floating in the waves and they attached it to the newly named Unwelcome Stranger.

7. Who was the traitor to Art Blastside?

Answer: Black Knack

Answer: purple

Answer: paper boats

All the boat maps washed ashore and were found by various people. Some of them Art recovered and some just turned into soggy messes.

Answer: Lockscald Tree

Lockscald Tree is the famous gallows of London. Art didn't actually end up getting hung because Felix saved her with a dramatic speech. her crew also got off because of a brilliant plan Art came up with. Piratica became a heroine and she started the Pirate craze in England.
