Kaylee Goodbarrel Character in Maelan | World Anvil

Kaylee Goodbarrel

Quartermaster Kaylee Goodbarrel (a.k.a. De Mini)

Kaylee was a very positive and happy halfling. She liked to make other people laugh and keep their spirits high. She was of the opinion that there's nothing a pint of good beer (preferably her own) won't fix.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

For a small Halfling, Kaylee was of normal body type. Her long and arduous travels kept her in good shape.

Body Features

Kaylee had no immediately visible tattoos or scars. The Wolves tattoo was hidden on the back of her left shoulder. She carried only one scar on her right thigh, from when she fell from a stack of barrels.

Apparel & Accessories

When out and about, Kaylee usually wore studded leather armor or colorful traveler's clothes. For more formal occasions, she liked to wear brightly colored and shiny dresses, as she never got to wear them in her day to day life.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Kaylee, as her family name suggests, came from a long line of brewers. The family beer and brewery are called "Best Beer In Town". The name is not a lie. After only a few short years they became the only brewery in their halfling community. Obviously, from then on word spread quickly and exports into other halfling communities followed suit.   The last generation of the Goodbarrel family took a further leap of faith and decided that the beer was too good to only sell to halflings. It was time to further expand the customer base. A move, that as it turned out, paid off. Humans, Elves, and above all the Dwarves really liked the Best Beer In Town.   Now it is up to Kaylee's generation to further expand the brand, and make it a household name throughout the empire. The current generation is 60 halflings strong. 5 took on management duties, 5 do secretarial work, 20 are responsible to brew the beer, and the other 30 travel the world to promote the brand. Out of those 30 travelers, 5 gave up and returned home, 5 travel the world independently, 10 joined the military, and the other 10 joined the Wolves of Summer.   Kaylee, who loved to travel and needed suns to do so and promote the brand, was among the 10 who joined the Wolves.

Social

Contacts & Relations

De Mini was very happy, that she found a group she could trust and travel with to promote her family beer.   She admired Cap. Although, she sometimes wished he would go for the great ideas, that Tiny and she kept proposing... he seemed to not always appreciate Kaylee enough.   She didn't like Lucky's constant advances. Nonetheless, she loved to speak in Thieves Cant to him, since it made her feel special. She also would have liked for him to share more knowledge and secrets with her.   Kaylee liked the fact that HotShot never seemed afraid to try new food. She took advantage of that by letting it inspire new ideas for beer recipes. His stoic character made him kind of a mystery to her and she wanted to get to know him better.   Minis' best friend was Tiny. He was always loyal and carried her around when she got tired.   Kaylee was always impressed by Doc's knowledge and was fascinated by how one can be so very quiet and under the radar. She suspected that Doc was taking some kind of calming drugs because that would be the only explanation for Doc's calm demeanor.  

Additional thoughts

  Cap: Once Cap was gone, she really missed him and his strong hand as he was the greatest leader she ever met. Spending the last seconds of his life with him, made her feel guilty, that she left. But it was his last order to her, an order that she could not perform, being paralyzed in fear and sadness...she never got over not being able to make Cap proud in their last moments together.   HotShot: Kaylee fell hard for Hotshot, but was too afraid to tell him since she didn't want to risk the friendship they had build over the year. She often wondered how he did not get any of the dirty jokes the rest of the group shared. Mini did not approve of HotShot's leadership as he was not half the man that Cap was. Nevertheless, she loved him, he was her last remaining friend, since Lucky didn't seem to like both of them. She wouldn't want to live without Hotshot.   Tiny: The moment Tiny died, Mini knew, that she would never get over his death. They had so many things planned...she really loved her big guy.   Gwenelle: De Mini didn't like Gwenelle. Period. She represented everything that Tiny hated. She was not nice or pleasant at all. Since she had just "joined" the group right before the deaths of Tiny and Cap, Kaylee started to project her anger on her. She didn't know what Kaylee was going through...she barely knew the names of her friends.   Shirel and Yelena: Kaylee liked Shirel and Yelena for who they were, but felt, that it was to soon to add them to the group, since they could never replace Cap and Tiny. Sleeping with them was a mistake...sure it was great sex both times, but she made it out of sorrow, hoping it could numb the pain, but it didn't. After Shirel threw all the material memories they had left of Tiny and Cap into that portal and blew them up, Kaylee just couldn't take it anymore. She had to leave, to get out of that group of people who she could no longer be with.
