although the concept of a female samurai is pretty weird

What's weird? Samurai is a class you're born into, not a mystical ranking you achieve through trials and merit.
fwiw, kill the pirate and take his plunder. do the cowgirl and marry the samurai who, by birth-code, must be obedient and do what you say.

edit:
the samurai also has enough training to protect your sorry twoplustwo reading all day ass.
