Kay Yamoto
In a world based on merit and guile, there is something to say about how she works a room.
Kay Yamoto is not the smartest of Natare. Nor is she the hardest worker. It is not even that she can outwit her competitors in a conversation or debate. But everyone who leaves the room with Kay feels like they have been outdone.
Growing up in the city of knowledge, Kay's parent were famous within the academy as botanists and architects, which let Kay grow up in a certain amount of style. There is no nepotism in the academic world of Natare but a pretty smile and a light leaning on the right people allowed the young Kay to go from spark in the eye of her tutors, to model student.
From student she turned to powerful socialite and influence broker, trading on her parent's clout firstly then on the strength of her own deals and reputation. Each deal she managed, each ear she bent turned into a mark upon her skin, soon a map of her best and brightest coordinations by the artist Pendula Fooltree .
Of course Miss Yamoto was part of the first Fashion Week , although she was only the second last model in the walk. That was not the case in future Fashion Weeks.
Her residence is in the same tower that houses the sky terrace, and once Naya Stormbringer moved into her author phase, it was her who manoeuvred her to trade into the tower too.
Mental characteristics
Failures & Embarrassments
Kay's greatest embarrassment was setting up a celestial mathematician with a bard and a seer to try and predict the next Convergence of the outer planets and was embarrassed when several members turned out to be frauds.
Mental Trauma
Due to not being as intelligent as the peers in her tutorage group, Kay's parents became hyper strict during her childhood. This has infected her with an inferiority complex that she hides behind her reputation and dealings.
Personality Characteristics
Likes & Dislikes
Likes to chew on fried wattle bark wafers. Is a fan of long soaking baths and loofa body scrubs.
Hates feeling like she is being belittled or mocked to an almost paranoid degree.
She sounds like an interesting character. It sucks that she feels a little inferior because she's not academically talented, but I'm glad she's found a niche.
