Description

This girl has a small rounded face. Her cheekbones sit high, accentuating her face but giving her eyes a sunken expression. Her hair is stringy and hangs in wisps around her face, thin strands like cobwebs around her face. Underneath her eyes are dark circles that shape the depth of the irises. Most of the time, the chestnut locks fall haphazardly around her face but occasionally, she pulls it back with a black ribbon which trails down her back. Her face is youthful and, were it not for the dark circles, she would be a pleasant thing to gaze upon. However, this feature gives her the impression of being ill or in dire need of rest. Her eyes are narrow, as if she sees the world through a tunnel, but the vision is keen and ever watchful. The irises are a deep shade of green, like the leaves just before they turn the withering shades of brown and gray. Her eyebrows rest above her eyes which gravitate towards the center of her face. Smack center is a small pointed nose which punctuates the center of her face. The mouth is small turning down at the corners. Though the skin is pale and ghastly white, her lips are a natural shade of rose. The girl is tall and slender but, perhaps a bit fragile.

She is adorned in a black blouse which clings to her lithe figure. The sleeves end in a pair of brown leather gloves which are a constant over her hands. Occasionally, she may be seen wearing a pair with the fingertips missing, made of a cheap fabric, though this is not common. Over her head, she often wears a traveler's hood, which hangs low over her features partially shielding her already darkened features. The legs are covered in a beige pair of pants, a black design gracing the side of the legs. The pants disappear into a pair of heavy black boots which end about mid-calf.

History

While her sister was considered a child of bandits, Kalie was always thought to be the child of something much more sinister, but that too is highly unlikely. Those who have lived around the town of Archet know that Kalie's family comes from a place deep in the Chetwood and would come into Archet fairly often when the girls were small children. Her father was a hunter and her mother was an herbalist and both of the girls would fall in their parent's footsteps. Kalie was very different from her sister and so she became the herbalist leaving the woods to her sister.

But there was a reason for this. Not many people would know it but the girls are fraternal twins, meaning they are twins that don't look alike. Kalie is slightly older by a matter of seconds but she doesn't let Sammy forget that too often. However, it was when the girls were very young that Kalie came down with a fever and developed a nasty disease. If it had not been for her mother's expertise in herbs, Sammy most likely would be an only child. Their mother was able to nurse the girl back to health, but Kalie was left with a severe fear of dirt and disease. Having shared the womb with Sammy, her sister seems to be the only one she doesn't consider a threat to her health. So while her sister went frolicking in the disease ridden woods of Chetwood, Kalie stayed home studying the herbs and would soon surpass her mother in knowledge.

But with knowledge comes power and Kalie discovered a darker power of herbs. She learned of herbs that had not only the power of healing disease but of causing disease, as well. People assume the girls still live somewhere out in the Chetwood with their elderly parents. It's been months since anyone has seen their parents, and, even if they are old, the rumors are that Kalie's most likely slowly poisoning them. Or at least, that's how the gossip goes. Kalie has developed a reputation as being a bit mad, if not outright crazy.

Kalie instead chooses to let Sammy go in and out of Bree to sell her herbs when she goes to sell her game catches. These are, of course, herbs of the good kind. There are, after all, some secrets too dark to be shared.
