If she is, though, there is no reason why Rioichi couldn't marry a Frenchwoman and have her name Henriette. problem is japan wasnt a country with "open ports" as it was under a very strict isolationist policy at the time so giving your daughter a french name during that time was impossible as a result. Remember the only counties japan was able to trade with was spain, portugal, and the Netherlands. The merchants usually werent allowed to mingle with the locals.

My theory is that rioich had a different child but the child was kidnapped and sold into slavery by the portuguese. once he reached europe he fled from his captors and made his way to franch were he was taken in by a family of french sailors, over time he and his children took on french names until we get henriette.

but still the golden age of piracy didnt start until the 1650's and henriette would either have passed away before that time or is too old to continue pirating,

I always thought sucker punch/sanzaru got the dates wrong, I think they meant for the 1700's not 17th century (1600s). must have confused the century dating system then again, they seem to be using the mel gibson (stereotypical) view of history when discussing about the encestors or certain artifacts and locations, even fanfic writers due the same thing
