Legends of Belariath

Kayla Nylis

She never knew where her parents came from, she never had a chance to ask. Actually she does not really know much about them at all. All she has are fleeting memories of them and their subsequent travel to the island-town of Temasek. Upon reaching the town they were unfortunate to be caught up by the riots happening at that as the population rebelled against the island's governor-ruler. In the chaos the small family sought cover among the slums. But the rioting grew bigger and bigger and spread into the slums. Just as her parents was about to follow in after her to hide in one of the dilapidated houses, they were caught in the chaos and lost in the crowd, never to be seen again.

As a small child, she was taken in by one of the lower class working communities in the town. Working odd jobs in the community, Kayla lived in the rough streets of the town. On and off she travelled to the various parts of island, using her lithe build and her wits to complete her jobs At times she was caught but she managed to use her charming wiles and wits to escape. In the streets she honed her skills and became more wise with the ways of this rough world. Now having saved up abit of money, hearing rumors of an empire far away, filled with riches and adventures, wanting to leave this tiny island, she outfitted herself with some gear and her good ol' leather catsuit. Catching a ship out of the island's busy port, she spent weeks aboard dreaming and wondering the new world that she is about to set foot in. At last she reaches its shores and makes her way inland for her new life, lured by its tales and rumors.
