She can be exceptionally curious (unless ordered not to be) and so usually isn't afraid of seeking out a little adventure or causing a bit of trouble. If a crate has a do-not-touch etched into its top then it likely won't be long before Kay's prying it open. This doesn't mean she isn't the type to think things through however. She will usually avoid an act or object if she feels it might harm her or someone else in any way.<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong><br/>For as long as Kay can remember her family has loyally served the nobles of their homeland, from the humble honour as a serf to the more valorous one of a guard. And for decades her house has decided the role of each child either by the hands of the nobles themselves or through a test of martial skill. It was with reluctance that Kay was forced to endure the latter, pitting her in non-lethal combat against her own until she felled each and every one of her siblings for the right to take up the sword. It was a gruelling task but one which brought her away from the tired chores of filling cups of wine, or folding bed sheets, and into the exciting field of a guard, where she would instead stand for HOURS guarding this or that random door or gate.<br/><br/>The boredom she had to endure at times was almost enough for her to lament her win and romanticise the life of a servant. She'd even reminisce about the times before the small tournament where she would spar with her uncle in preparation or help the family around the house and out in the fields. Unfortunately, it was a life she'd rarely see until the end of her new role, where death, age or grievous injury were the only means to return to her family's farmstead.<br/><br/>During her time as a guard Kay has seen very little action. She's helped fend off the odd band of brigands, maintained the peace and even worked as protection for guests or the nobles themselves. When off duty she's grown to love a good game of cards and a warm mug of cheap ale. It was the humdrum of this life which gave her the irrational jump of excitement at being called out to battle. With the rest of the guard she marched out under the house's orders into what she expected to be a swift but daring victory against their enemy. The only difference between her and the rest of the soldiers was that her squad's captain received a special command to watch out for Fergus, oldest son of Bryce Cousland.
