History

Kelga is the Twinborn sister of Veri, that is she was born at the same time as Veri. As is the custom in Parlson she was adopted into the cyrean family she was brought up as a member if the family and began her training to support Veri when she took over as head of the family. Kelga quickly became devoted to her older 'sister' and would do anything for her, this did land Kelga in alot of trouble but she did not mind too much. She did however find that she could get out of trouble with a winsome smile or a slight down turning of her lips.

Much of her time was spent in training. Learning about lore, the ways of the court. But also song and dance and darker things such as the uses and counters of poisons and other methods of assassination. Yet she endured all this for the occasion moments of free time with Veri. Eventually they both reached the age of majority and where sent to be fostered by another family it was a chance for them to get to know the other great houses, and to test them to see if they were worthy of their positions. It was while they where being fostered that Kelga true talent for rhetoric came forth, she was eloquent in her speeches and easily able to argue her points with people many times her senior. She was also a shrewd advisor to Veri, and helped her to steer a course through the courtly intrigues. However they also uncovered some corruption within a few of the noble families especially that Salder, when they began to pressure to have laws enacted to curtail them. The Salder where furious and attempted to have the two girls killed. The assassin was caught before he could act, instead of pursing the matter in the council Kelga decided to take revenge personally. She was quickly able to counter many of the Salder’s plots and spread rumors about Sadler’s dealings soon very few would willing deal with the family. Several members were arrested and tried for corruption, dealing in slaves and other illegal items, when she was satisfied that she had broken the family, she lead the forces dispatched to bring the heads of the family to court to be tried for their crimes, so that they would know who was responsible for their fall. After they had be tried and sentenced, they tried to strike one more time. This time the hired killer reached the Girls private chambers and made to strike at Veri. Kelga imposed herself, and although she was severely wounded, with the assassins poison flowing through her system, she was able to kill him before she collapsed into a deep sleep. It was then that she was visted by Luna who showed Kelga that what she had experienced was simply a symptom of a wider problem and that if she truly wanted to protect Veri, then she must help to heal the Hundred Kingdoms as well. Since then Kelga has begun to travel from Parlson to see the troubles of the lands for her self, she has found country after country where the strong oppress the weak for their own gains, where the law is a sham. But she also has heard rumors of others who she may be able to ally with, beings such as her self and the ancient godkings of all. Most disturbing however is the shadowy figure in her dreams, she can’t make out their face yet something seems to be elusively familiar about them. The figure is both welcoming and fearful at the same time.

Personality

Kelga is a short even for a women, she stands at barely 5'2, with a light frame. Her green eyes stare out from a fringe of wild brown hair, Kelga does her best to keep it tied back but it still tends to escape and hang loose. She favours loose fitting clothes with sashes and long sleeves, the easier to hide certain objects on her person, the clothes tend to be in light shades of greens and blues. Since she has begun her travels she has disguised her self as a traveling entertainer, dancing, playing music and telling stories, and she wears the traditional cloak that marks her as such.

She tends to have a ready smile on her face and deals with all problems in a good natured way, especially when dealing with Veri and her family. That being said she does however have a vindictive streak that appears to have got worse since her exaltation and more than one person has regretted their words and actions.
