Personality

While her past has made her externally very cold and distant, beneath it all there is a great capacity to love. She is very cautious of those that show kindness towards her, having lost a great deal she finds it difficult to let others in emotionally. She refuses to show any personality to strangers or those she does not trust on a deep level, this makes it hard for her to make friends or relationships with others. She harbors a personal grudge against the Horde, blaming them for the death of her mentor and friends in the mercenary troupe. She vows to kill any Horde she comes across in her travels.

When with those she intensely trusts she becomes very affectionate and clingy, becoming completely adverse to the demeanor she displays to all others. She often struggles to make moral decisions especially when accepting contracts from clients but conceals her insecurity behind the usual calm and cold attitude. Memories of her Mother and the atmosphere of the Deepwater Tavern in her youth still come back to her whenever she steps into taverns around Azeroth. Being in a lively tavern is one of the few environments she feels she can truely let herself relax. While not fast to rise to anger when the right words are said Kaitlyn can reach dangerous heights of rage, impairing her ability to think and act rationally.

History

Kaitlyn's mother was a wench at the Deepwater Tavern in Menethil Habor. Having grown up in poverty, this was the only life she really knew. Being soft faced and fair haired, Kat's mother was the most popular girl at the Deepwater. One night a group of pirate cutpurses and rogues stopped in the harbor looking to spend the money they had recently acquired through illegal means. The leader of the group had decided he wanted to have his way with Kat's Mother and that night Kaitlyn herself was conceived despite her mother's attempts to escape.

9 months later, Kaitlyn was brought into the world and her Mother couldn't have been more in love with the baby girl she held in her arms. For 10 years Kat's Mother raised her baby alone, often bringing her to the Deepwater where she had been promoted to a barmaid. She would let little Kaitlyn sit on the counter as the locals came in and the music played. The atmosphere was one Kaitlyn very quickly came to love. However at the age of 36 when Kat was only 10 years old, her Mother passed away from a severe illness. Kaitlyn was taken in by the Tavern's owner and for 5 years more she continued to work there waiting on tables and cleaning glasses.

Her love for the tavern and its atmosphere soon began to fade without her Mother. She sought passage away from the harbor on a merchant's ship, wanting to make a new start. She was brought to Stormwind where she lived on the streets for a few months, being forced to look out for herself in the dark criminal underworld. Things soon changed when a mercenary Chief who had been a dear friend and lover of her Mothers', recognized her and gave her a home among his mercenary troupe. She trained under them, learning to fight with heavy two-handed swords and axes. During her time in the troupe she learned what it was like to fight and kill. Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, Elves, she fought them all in the 10 years she spent among them. She had the stability she cherished so much in her childhood at the tavern, She developed relationships; friends, lovers, rivalries, and losses.

It wasn't until recently at 24 when her life took another big turn. She loved being a part of the mercenary group so much, the morale was high and the money was plentiful, she had stable figures in her life and she felt she had a place among the mercenaries. The group had been tasked with eliminating some Horde camped out in Stranglethorn Vale which were making the local woodworkers and miners nervous. It was a bloody fight and the strength of the Horde warriors proved to be too much. As the chief of her troupe fell, the remaining members of the group attempted to flee. Most were caught and struck down as they ran, but Kaitlyn and two others managed to get away through the undergrowth.

They fled the Vale and returned to Stormwind where they spent a week mourning, mourning the loss of all the people they had come to know and love, some faces new while some having been there from the beginning. Eventually they decided it best to part ways to find a new purpose to their lives. Kaitlyn decided to become a sellsword. She had surpassed many in her talent with bladed weaponry and she held enough skill to freelance as a merc. Now awaiting a new purpose to find her.
