AppearanceKayelin is a grizzly of a woman, with a work hardened, muscular body devoid of all childhood fat that tops off at four inches over six feet. Her calloused hands are riddled by smalls scars and nicks, with fingernails chewed down to the distal edge and that for some reason are impossible to keep clean. Dirt seems to be permanently embedded into the creases of her fingers and palms. Her straw colored hair is cropped short for easy maintenance, usually flopped over her forehead in whatever position it decides to lay in each day, and rarely gets combed. Kayelin stopped fighting with it years ago, among many other things.
The right corner of her top lip is puckered with a small yet noticeable scar she received in a childhood brawl, and her nose is slightly crooked from being broken twice. Kayelin isn't a beautiful woman, and she knows it. By a lot of standards she's even unattractive. Instead, she is very naturally masculine, which suits her better than any of the feminine graces that were never there to begin with. It's not all that uncommon for strangers to mistake her for a man in certain situations, what with her jaunt, course features and warrior body. She tries to maintain an acceptable degree of cleanliness, but nothing really seems to soften her rough appearance.
MentalityKayelin has hoped to be part of something greater ever since she was a little girl. She has this almost obsessive desire to do good, and feels that becoming a Knight is the only way to achieve this. She has yet to really discover, in her short time as a Squire, that not of all the Knights are what she dreamed of in Sunberth. To her, with her Lancelot complex, it is a great honor, and everyone goes around saving kittens from trees and defending the weak. She also hasn't really grown into her title yet, and a lifetime of self conscious insecurities makes it hard to transition. So, even though her position in life is rather good, she can still be stepped all over just like before.
She is a very self conscious woman, what with her appearance and the very low standing she held for most of her life. Her self esteem is lacking, and her social skills are mediocre at best. But she has a good heart, with admirable if not very naive intentions to help those around her and make the world a better place, to the best of her abilities. Kayelin can be a stick in the mud, too, often coming of as boring. She isn't the smartest person around either, preferring actions over words, and lacking much of an education. The extent of her scholarly pursuits is that she can read and write Common, and do basic math. In her eyes, that's all she ever needed, until the dream of becoming a Squire actually became a reality.
Now that she has been ripped away so soon from that lifestyle she'd craved for years, Kayelin is starting to believe that her luck will never change. After becoming enslaved and carted off to Ravok, she decided to close herself off emotionally. She knows that being an obedient nobody will keep her alive - which is what she plans on doing. The ex-Squire can't help but keep up the small hope that maybe one day she will escape Ravok and return to Syliras, but until that happens she will try to survive the new, darker life that the hand of fate seems to have found it necessary to deal her.

CompanionsName: N/A
Breed: Falivan Elk Dog
Gender: Female
Age: 5 months
Kayelin's Falivan pup was gifted to her by her mother the day after her 20th birthday. It came as a surprise, since her family never had much money to spare, so she thinks of the pup as a blessing. She grew quickly on the trip from Sunberth to Syliras, and now fairly easily keeps up with Kayelin on foot for most of the day. She remains nameless, mainly because Kayelin is looking for inspiration. The pup has taken quickly to training, showing strong natural instincts, and from day one the two of them were insuperable. She's already large for her age, with powerful jaws and legs, so it's assumed she will be a fine specimen.
