Keldae "Kel" Dacontar

Name: Keldae Dacontar
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Birthday: June 25
Sexuality: Bi with a preference for men.
Special Characteristics: A motley collection of scars across her legs and arms, mostly gained by accident. Another small scar on her left cheek. One more burn scar on her right palm.

Personality: Keldae's quiet and sneaky, and mischievous to boot. Having lived in low-income areas or on the streets for her entire life, with her mother dying when she was 10, her father never being present (she's never met him), and an older brother who vanished when she was little, she's learned to get by with next to nothing, and learned to do pretty nasty or risky things to get what she does want. One of the unscrupulous talents she's honed over the years is a mean pick-pocketing ability- celestial mages beware! She's grown up around violence, and therefore sees fighting as commonplace. She's never killed anyone yet, but knows people who have [been] killed, and when she's talking she'll act like she doesn't care. She does care, and the thought of being killed scares her, but she'll never let you know that to your face.

Being raised in her situation, she's not likely to make close friends with most people, having seen people die or leave or otherwise betray others (and herself) way too many times for her to be comfortable with others. What she tends to do is form alliances for a mutual gain, and then end the alliance when the time of mutual gain is at an end. For the time you're teamed with her, though, she'll have your back (unless she feels that there's a very good reason why she needs to ditch you) and you can usually count on hearing her giggle. Be warned- that usually means you're the victim of a prank of hers. And good luck catching her when you realize that your snacks have disappeared or there are handfuls of needles in your carelessly-shed coat. She's fast and sneaky, and if she decides to hide, well... you might not see her again for a while. It's saved her life on a few occassions.

She is insecure, despite putting on her best front of "I am independent and I don't need your help", and she (despite this sounding like a cliche) wants to be somewhere safe where she feels like she belongs. She's tired of sleeping on the streets and having to steal to get by... never minding that her magic has started to develop and she's afraid of what this means for her. She's scared of her own power and wants to control it. On the flip side, she's also afraid of having to actually ask for help or to leave the dangerous comfort zone that she knows to explore Fiore.

In an actual combat situation? She's the one sneaking around in the shadows, taking down enemies from behind them (whether you told her to do so or not). She's got no problem with stabbing people in the back if it means she wins. Does not fight so well when she's alongside someone else and being told to not be completely a loner. Pending magic type, can also be support for others. She won't charge headfirst into a battle, being the type who'd rather sneak her way around without having to risk her own neck, but she also won't run away from a fight. As mentioned, she doesn't like killing or the thought of it, but if you're trying to kill her, she'll try to kill you right back.

Likes:
- Chocolate. It's a rare treat for her (because poor kid from the slums can't afford chocolate often), and she will crave after it like nobody's business. Heaven help you if you taunt her with it.
- Cats. Because sometimes you just need something warm and fuzzy and purring to cuddle with. They also chase rodents, which is something Kel can appreciate. At times, cats have been some of her only friends.
- Thunderstorms. She loves the lights and sounds of thunder and lightning, and enjoys the feeling of rain on her skin. Don't bother going on about the dangers of the weather to her, because she'll ignore you. It's dangerous, yes, but she likes it like that.
Dislikes:
- Insects. She is not afraid of them, no matter what anyone else might say to you, she just has a healthy hatred of the little bastards.
- Rodents. One too many times of having a rat run across her feet/other body part while she was minding her own business...
- Mornings. She's the type to stay up late and sleep at dawn. Being told to get up early will earn you a near-permanent spot on the List o' Hate.
Motivations:
- Biggest motivation for her is getting out of the slums she grew up in. She's tired of being always poor and having to steal to live.
- She wants to learn about her magic and learn to control it, after a few 'accidents'.
- She wants to find out what happened to her older brother who vanished when she was little. If it's possible, she also wants to figure out who her father is and why he left.
Fears:
- Fire. She got burned by a candle when she was very young, and still has a small scar on her hand from it. As a side-effect, she's been terrified of fire ever since.
- Not being able to control her magic, and getting someone accidentally hurt/killed as a result.
- Being abandoned. She's fine with solitude if she's chosen it, but she doesn't want people to leave her when she wants them to stay.

General Appearance


Height: 5'0"
Weight: 95 lbs (ish)
Hair: Long, slightly-shaggy dark hair.

Skin Tone: Caucasian, bit on the tan side.
Appearance: She's got a very slight build, good for running away quickly and hiding. Normal attire for her is a worn hoodie, so faded as to be grey, with a white shirt underneath and dark blue jeans. She also wears sneakers which have definitely seen better days. If she had a proper budget for clothing, she'd gravitate toward darker colours (blue, green, grey, black) and thinner, looser layers. She also likes wearing bracers or bangles on her wrists, when she has them.
