Character History:

Kaylee grew up in Illian, the third child of a leather merchant in the city. Her childhood was uneventful, learning the trade of leather work and running the shop.

When she was 16 she was betrothed to a tanner’s apprentice, Mattinos Tammuz, who she knew from the family trade. The marriage was happy, but remained childless. Mattinos started to drink and stay away from home. Kaylee tried to be a good wife and would visit any healer she could find about her lack of children.

When she was 25 she was accosted in the back alleys returning home from delivering a batch of leather to her parents shop. Mattinos heard the commotion but was too drunk to come to save her. He was killed in the altercation and Kaylee received her scar.

Deciding to get out of Illian, Kaylee takes a shipment of leather up to Cairhien. She has some savings and had a letter of introduction to a cousin who may have work in a leather shop in the city. But the caravan is attacked by bandits on route and she enters the city as a refugee, with few of her possessions.

In Cairhien, she attaches herself to a mercenary band due to her leather working skills and gets a rudimentary training fighting with daggers and a spear.

On the death of the Mercenary Captain from natural causes, the band splits up. Kaylee heads to Merrilor, fortuitously nearby at the time, to reevaluate her options.

Meh, I rewrote an awful lot of the history but Kaylee was not happy with it, and was being willful. So changed most of it back to save my energy for the actual RP which seems more worthwhile.

Welcome to the RP Kaylee!

 

Heavy, I like it!

And I see no issues with the last name 🙂 Is there a plan to have it play into her long term goals??
