Personal history

Kesiray was born in the Verduran forest from a Mother who didn't survive the ordeal. She was taken in and raised by a family of foxes. When she was still very tiny, she was discovered and adopted by the Druids who lived nearby.

Kes lived with them for years. She doesn't know how many. Her need to wander kicked in and she left their care and took up residence in the forest on her own. She lived a wild, free life. She hunted or foraged for her meals. Occasionally she happened on unfortunate souls who died within (what she considered) her territory and she scavenged treasures from them.
She found an orphaned panther kit alone, trapped in the high branches of a tree and made him her own best friend. Kesiray took it upon herself to help anyone she found who might have lost their way in the large forest. Throughout her life, the nearby druids checked up on her and offered to take her in once more but she declined.

On one of her scouting treks, Kes happened upon a star knife embedded in a tree stump in a sunlit glade. She added it to her arsenal (a bow) and went home to her tree. That night she dreamed of Desna and a field of a billion stars. She woke up wanting to wander out of the forest and into a new life.

Education

A little druid training, survival, knowledge of the wild, etc. Corivan started teaching her to read, which she greatly enjoys.

Employment

None

Accomplishments & Achievements

Kes bought a very nice lock for the caravan wagon and she won't let anyone forget it.

She kissed Charl, her very first kiss.

She resisted the urge to kill Rale or arrange for Rale to kill himself.

She learned to read.

She had the most amazing Birthday EVER on Jestercap, followed by saving the town of Alvis from werewolves.

Cleaned up the Flameshield's manor with Corivan and removed the hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Made and sold her first map.

Failures & Embarrassments

Slamming Jebber with a cart.

She and Brightsworn came very close to disaster when she rushed in on Rale and Niccum.

She wasn't aware underwear needed washing.

Mental Trauma

The Phantasmal Killer that Rale sent after her scared the hell out of her. She's resilient enough to overcome the initial terror but it's pretty clear that the image of Zelishkar has left it's mark.

She struggles with staying true to the wild and spending so much time living city/town life.

Intellectual Characteristics

She's insatiably curious. She mimics those she's close to.

Morality & Philosophy

Kesiray tries to do good for those who are good to her. She tends to have a call of the wild attitude towards death and isn't above killing to survive or to ease suffering. She (so far) thinks money is for spending and beer is CERTAINLY for drinking. She's a hedonist.

person.sexuality

Kesiray only showed an interest in relations very recently. Once they settled in Alvis for a while, Kesiray noticed that boys seemed to flock to Selisa and very much NOT to her. It puzzled her. Corivan reassured her (he always has the answer, if you ask her) that she cuts and intimidating figure with Autumn by her side.

Charl flirted with her a few days before they departed Alvis and on the day of their leaving, Kesiray ambushed kissed him at the Milani shrine and then had a typical teenage snog.

person.gender_identity

Female

Taboos

Always have clean underwear. ALWAYS.

Known Languages

Common, Celestial

More recently, Desna has given her a task. Stop a second world wound from opening at the Lurkwood. She takes this seriously.

Quotes & Catchphrases

Kit-soon... or Kit-soo-nay. She decides the pronunciation on a whim.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Kesiray is an astonishingly good tracker. She's so good it must seem supernatural.

She's very good in the wild. She can get along just fine.

She struggles with structure. She's all over the place and finds it hard to stay on task in a city setting. There's too much to see and do.

Likes & Dislikes

Loves booze, food (COFFEE AND PIE), her friends, nature. Hates mean people, cruel people, stairs, Xelishkar.

Virtues & Personality perks

Kesiray is the ETERNAL optimist.

Vices & Personality flaws

She’s hedonistic. If it feels good, she doesn't see why it shouldn't be done. And done some more. And some more. Pixie sticks, coffee, mead, all of it.

Personality Quirks

Her head tilts when she's surprised. Kinda like a dog.

Hygiene

Sometimes clean, sometimes and absolute MESS, as her whims take her.

Between Two Kesirays

by Kesiray

I'm so mad. First off, Rale should be dead. I know. I know. He's sick in the head. It's wrong to wish you could rend a 'sick in the head' person limb from limb. But... ARG!!!!! I can see what they tell me is true. How crazy he is. In the wild, if an animal is out of it's mind the kindest thing is to end it. But people aren't animals. Supposedly. Niccum said something that got me thinking about civilization and towns and politics and whatnot. He started all this crap cause he WANTED. MORE. They wanted power and money and status. They were orphans, I guess? Like I was. I don't understand how they ended up like that. I had the Druids for a time but I left pretty young. I wandered off and when they checked on me I told them I was fine and I wasn't coming back. For a long time, until Autumn, I lived like a wild thing. Once Autumn found me, I spent more time taking care of him and worrying after him. I made us a home. Before that I survived. I enjoyed surviving.

I know my friends have a sense of me living wild that but they don't really know what that means. I don't think. The forest was big. So very, very big. I haven't even seen the whole thing. I tried to. I explored endlessly. I moved around with the seasons. I built or gathered everything I had. I didn't care. I didn't know there WAS much else to have. I found things. I used them. The Druids lived simply. They didn't have shops or houses full of stuff. They lived ALMOST as wild as I did. I never sat around wishing I had a thing. If I was hungry, I killed or gathered something to eat. If I found something, I took it. If it was too heavy, I left it. If I was cold, I slept with other animals or under leaves or in a tree hollow. I rarely built a fire. Looking back now, I don't know if anyone could really understand it unless they had been there. But maybe these kids could.

Niccum and Rale and Belya and the others.....living in a town, with neighbors well off around you, and having nothing of your own must be a torment. These 'riches' are in front of you and you don't think you can have it. Cause you can't take it. That's not how towns work. I thought, when I heard people talking about it, that community meant everyone had everything. That's what the Druid community was. It's different here. Why do some people get to live on Alchemy Gate Road and some people have to live on Wall street? I find that I don't much like this version of community. I don't know if I like any of this. I do like pies and coffee though. I am fully in support of pie and coffee. Maybe that's why people stay? Now that I have things and I buy things and I kinda want things, how can I fault any of them? Maybe the twigjacks were right and I've turned my back on wild ways. I've lost the forest but I found friends. Desna doesn't require me to be a wild thing. She requires that I help the traveler and help my friends and I live my life and have fun. Right now I'm somewhere in between two Kesirays. One is a wild thing and one really likes pie and coffee shops, and really good locks.
