Kiala Feathershaft

She knows your secrets.

Name: Kiala Feathershaft

Sex: Female

Age: 18

Position: Drifter; specializes in casing, information gathering, spying, blackmail

Appearance: Pale brown feathers, white-blond hair, green eyes

Attire: Dark blue jeans, red sleeveless shirt, black leather jacket, tennis shoes

Accent: Unrecognizable but definately present and definately rural. Kiala's no city girl; her accent sounds like a muddle of various provincial inflections. However, it seems to undergo small changes randomly (though it never disappears completely), so some speculate that the accent isn't completely real or that Kiala may alter it on occasion to keep it from being recognized

Weaponry: Her camera, her eyes, and her ears are her primary weapon, but when circumstances call for something more substantial, she relies mostly on knives of varying sizes and styles. Her jacket conceals a set of throwing knives, and at times a long blade similar to Cartha's favorite knife will appear from apparently nowhere. The knife is more slender than the one her leader employs, and more decorative as well. Kiala's had it since she joined the Shade, and no one's quite sure where it came from.

Personality: Quiet. Kiala has an amazing talent for fading into the woodwork, which serves her well in many ways. She has a permanently vacant expression, and always looks as if her mind is a million miles away. It's rather disconcerting to talk to her, because she looks like she's not hearing a word you say, but could probably repeat it back to you practically word for word. She's very calm, obediant and polite to those older than her and cooperative with those younger. Most drifters consider her to be one of them, while the hardcores know that she has the dedication and skills to easily surpass her peers. Her quiet demeaner just doesn't show it. She's practically made a hobby out of blackmail, and knows more than enough about the government and military to make her worth killing, if they ever found out that she knew. Kiala never uses this talent against fellow shades, beyond the vaguest hint of a thickly veiled threat when someone starts to push her too hard. Displays of emotion are rare; she seems to watch everything with a quiet detatchment that adds to her space-case image. However, she's ferocious when cornered, and the sudden change from quiet waif of a girl to screaming hellcat often throws her enemy off guard and gives her an instant advantage. Kiala is either devoid of emotion or overcome by it, and those few who've witnessed the change can sense a quiet intensity about her even when she returns to her usual starry-eyed state.

History: <COMING SOON>

Likes: Her camera, knowing things no one else knows, Cartha, Trey, Tammy

Dislikes: Not knowing things (whether anyone else knows them or not)

Overheard:

"I don' think I agree with that, sir. But then, I know somin' you don' know."

"I kin see why they all think so. But then, I know somin' you don' want them to know. An' I also know how much ya'd pay ta keep it that way."

"The powr in't in the information, ma'am. The powr's in how ya use it."
