Henriette is my personal favorite when it comes to the "minor" Coopers. I would love to meet her in Sly 5, especially if her episode came with ship sections like those from Sly 3. i would guess that if properly depicted, henriette would probably be the only historically correct pirate (one that is based on facts not fiction) in a sea of stereotypical romanticized pirates.

And the whole brethren of the coast and pirate republic thing is real and is why i think blood bath bay exists and why interpol doesnt send a fleet of destroyers there and arrest them en masse. The existence of the pirate codex and the legitimacy of the brethren makes it a micronation of sorts. When sly said they closely follow the traditions of their pirate ancestors he also probably meant that they still uphold the sacred pirate code as the code is the law to them,

my theory is bloodbath bay is ruled by alleged descendants of the original brethren. Blood bath bay would be a democracy as pirates tended to govern their crews democratically, and their pirate king is more like a president as he is elected via popular vote.

though strangely, the golden age of piracy didnt start until the 1650's. During henriettes time, there hardly would be any pirates at sea and europe was embroiled in a religious conflict known as the 100 years war, so trade isnt that busy in the caribbean. I would say that henriette is an anachronism, as many fanfic writers often depict her being alive in the correct decades (ranging from the late 17th century to early or mid 18th centuries).

To make things complicated i doubt a japanese like rioichi would giver his daughter a french name. I reckon she shouldnt be viewed as his daughter but as a great granddaughter of rioichi. like have other coopers between rioichi and henriette exist so that henriette lives in the correct decades.

Though imagine her running into pirates from others seas rather than the caribbeean, like barbary corsairs who are also interested in finding sinbad's goblet or even the japanese wokou pirates as a child.

supernatural mojo exists in the sly games so its not hard to thnk that ghost ships would be included, It would be awesome if henriette claimed to have run into some ghost ships, And imagine if some ghosts ships were ships that henriette robbed from.

now if only Jack sparrow made a cameo in Sly 3
