u]GENERAL[/u]
Birth Name: Kayla
Other Names: The children call her Miss Kay
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Occupation: Baker
Birthplace: She assumes it is the village, but in reality it is unsure where she was born.
Current Location: A small village in the countryside of Ireland
Family Relations: The older couple who care for her, Gemello and Ariana.
Weapon: Kayla is good with a knife, yet she has never had the occasion to weild one as a weapon.
Other Items Owned: There is a strange silver medallion she wears wherever she goes; she has worn it since before she could remember. It is the size of a coin and is covered in strange runes she cannot decipher.
BACKGROUND
Personality: Kayla is a typical Irish lass; she is kind and playful, yet has a broad stubborn streak. Her quick temper and sharp tongue can get her into sticky situations, but her dazzling smile and caring nature usually bring her into the villagers good favor. The children love her, for she always find time to tell them stories. The tiny bakery is usually filled with the village children waiting for Kayla to slip them a few small treats or tell them a story of princes and king, of bold rescues and fair princesses. The few village lads her age all silently compete for her attention, but she feels no real interest in any of them and treats them as she would anyone else.
Detailed History: One day during a blizzard, a young couple staggered into a small village. The worried villagers took them in, but the storm and exposure had already taken its toll. The two died within hours of arriving. But all hope was not lost; the mother cradled a baby in her slender arms. The baby was young, barely a month old. On her neck was a small medallion, and the father managed to hand the villagers a small bag of gold coins before he passed. The mother managed to tell them that her name was Kayla before she died. An older couple, Ariana and Gemello, had always wanted children and were more than happy to take her. The villagers, being honest and kind, gave them the coins to help raise her. The couple reluctantly took the money, but unbeknownst to the rest of the village they never spent it. The bag lies hidden at the bottom of a deep trunk, untouched for eighteen years.
Kayla grew up fair and healthy. She was not plagued by illness, being blessed with a strong nature. She shared a love for the family business of baking and happily helped out wherever she could. The couple loved the adopted child as her own and never told her of her strange past. Kayla never questioned her parentage and happily fit into the small family. Now she does most of the baking and running of the shop. Her adoptive parents are old now, and she worries for their health. For this reason she refuses all the advances of the young men of the village, knowing that she is the only child the couple has to care for them.
Fears: She has a great fear of thunderstorms, though she would never admit it to anyone who asks.
Strengths: Kayla is bold and impetuous, yet kind and always willing to help anyone who asks. If she wants to be, she can be a very good diplomat.
Weaknesses: Kayla will do anything to protect 'her' children, even risking her own safety to protect them.
Likes: Children and baking; the older couple she considers her parents.
Dislikes: Anyone who is unkind to children, people who look down on her for her humble position in the community.
APPEARANCE
Facial Appearance: Dark rippling curls frame her perfectly symmetrical face. Her skin is fair and smooth, cheeks tinged a healthy shade of pink. The bright emerald green of her eyes sparkles beneath long dark lashes.
Clothing: Kayla wears the typical village garb of a simple dress, usually pulling her hair back so it doesn't get into her baking. Usually she wears an apron while in the small shop.
Build: Kayla is of average height, being 5'6". She is slender and appears almost delicate, though her temperment will convince anyone otherwise.
Marks/Scars: None
