- Please note, that Kale is an on-going research persona that Ayame is developing over the course of the winter and spring months to come. She will most likely "live" during the summer months of my time playing in the S.C.A.
- Name
- Kale Kepourina Akropolitissa [aka: Kale of the Eastern Winds]
- Period
- 6th century Byzantinian of greek/egyptian descent (currently 548 A.D.)
- Short Biography
- Born in Anatolia, on the shores of the pennisula there-in, approx early 6th century. (530 AD) Her mother died shortly after her birth from complications due to a poor heart. After reaching the age of majority, she was able to help her father on his voyages to other countries for trade around the Mediterranean, along with her two older brothers as well. In her spare time, she studies astronomy and practices languages of her fore fathers. Something interesting to note about Kale is her family tree. Her mother has was from Egypt, when the Byzantian empire has taken the lands, while her father is a Greek, comes from the isle of Andros. Her name is broken down as such:
- Kale - the leafy green vegetable, quite period actually :P
- Kepourina - fem. form for "gardener" basically caretaker of nature
- Akropolitissa - fem. of the "acropolis" (her father has greek roots)
- Personality
- Unlike Ayame who is more of a courtier, Kale is...an interesting woman. She loves to corouse. When I mean she loves to....she LOVES to. Her boastful attitude, fun, out-going spirit is definatly the opposite to Ayame's quiet and refined person. One thing to note though, even under the tough exterior of that warrior, lies the heart of a kind and gentle woman. You just have to really dig it out od her to see it.
