KayLee Saylor

[kiara]

Name: KayLee Saylor
Age: 24-26ish (mid-20's)
Birthplace: No where in particular
Gender: Female
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Species: Squirrel
Job/Position: Acrobat/Dancer of a disbanded traveling circus; Currently looking for employment.
Physical Description:

Because of her job as an acrobat, KayLee is quite small for a squirrel her age. Although her body is pretty petite, KayLee is nimble and flexible (it’s kind of in her job description to be) and she is also able to isolate her body’s movement (for example: moving one part of her body while the rest of her body remains still; moving different parts of her body in different ways and directions). Her light brown fur is neat and clean (or at least it was during her days in the circus) and dark blue eyes seduces even the cold of heart (or at least that is what she would like to believe. She knows she’s not perfect). She does not have any markings on her body, fur or 'tattooed.' She does however have her left ear pierced, signifying the stronger and more coordinated half as her left half, though no one would know it unless they've seen in action (or she told them). She usually only wears her performing clothes while performing, though she has been known to wear her coin hip scarf when working on/practicing her routines, so she can judge the noise they make while jingling together.

Belongings:

- Two costumes from the circus. One for acrobatics, and one for dancing. Her acrobatic outfit fit snug against her body, making her as streamlined as possible to move through the air, while her dancing two-piece outfit is more looser fitting with puffy legs of a light weight fabric so it flows around her when she twirls (kind of like a genie). The top made of the same fabric, but more form fitting. The last of the costume was a scarf with thin metal coins embedded with it so when tied around her waist, makes noise to the rhythm of her moving body.
- A set or two of normal everyday clothes.
- For weapons, she has one dagger and a set of blow darts that are laced with a sleeping potion.
- And a nap-sack to carry everything in.

Personality:

Being the highlight of the circus, she was accustomed to being in the spotlight and everyone watching her, which makes her a perfectionist (when performing) so she is always practicing her routines. This perfectionism with her routines also come with a sense of safety, especially her acrobatic routines. This is also her way of life, so the better the performance, the more likely she’ll get more food, shelter, and things she would need to survive while moving from place to place.
With her family always traveling with the circus, she didn't bother to make any friends as she would only have to leave them, making her lonely most of the time, though she did have her family and everyone within the circus. She however was friendly with those she conversed with. She just didn’t bother to make those deep connections. By her own choice, she would rather be by herself then to gain a friend, only to lose them when the circus had to pack up and move on. She loves to make people happy and see them smile during her performances.
Kay is a high risk taker making and perfecting new “death defying” acts, though won’t put them in her performances until she knows she can do it safely and well.

She is pretty neutral when it comes to goodbeasts and vermin. As long as they are not attacking her, she doesn't have a problem with anyone. She performs and entertains all, as long as she gets paid before moving on. She is however entrenched in the traditions and codes of circus-folk. She trades her techniques for things she needs.

History:

Born into the circus lifestyle, her parents met and worked within the same traveling circus, ‘The Fun-tastic Traveling Circus.’ Watching them perform since she was small, her dreams came true when she was old enough to start performing alongside her parents. She excelled at it and soon became the highlight of the circus.

While everyone packed up one evening from a show that they had put on, vermin attacked the circus, killing her parents along with one of the clowns and injuring a few more. After that incident she found she was unable to stay apart of the circus as it reminded her of her parents too much. The final straw being up high during a routine and missing her mark, causing her to fall from the frame, into the protective netting below. She is saddened by the loss of her family, but realizes that it’s better to let go and not go looking for trouble.

Now on her own, Kay usually travels through the places she had visited with the circus, seeking to join a new circus and start off fresh, which is better off said than done. She hopes to fine one in need of an acrobatic, though is doubtful. However circus life is the only life she knows of. She performed on her own to small groups of beasts for some shelter or food, to get her along until she finds what she is looking for.

Welcome (back) to ToRA, Kiara! The app's mostly fine, but there is one small thing--the physical description needs to be a little longer, as the form specifies at least six sentences. Once you've met that requirement, I should be able to accept this.
