Age: 11 "But I am one minute older than Alex. At least, I think so,"
Race: Witch
Description: Kaile has long brown hair that reaches almost down to the middle of her back, though it used to go down to almost her thighs before someone decided to tie her hair onto her bedpost and it had to be cut off. She has permanently tanned skin and deep brown eyes. She doesn't look very special, but she really is.
History: Kaile doesn't know exactly who her parents were, nor does she know why they gave her and her brother up. All she knows is that they left her, and her definitely younger brother at an orphanage when they were still only kids. Less than kids, even. Only a few days old. Kaile never stayed in one orphanage long enough to make friends really, so she grew up with the only constant being Alex. Things always happened around them... strange things that made people not want to hang out with them. For Kaile, it was really bad when she had nightmares. She didn't know how to explain them sometimes, so she just did what she thought everyone did- she showed the closest person. When it was Alex, all was fine. The illusion wasn't strong enough to make him see the fear she felt in her dreams, just enough to show him. For other people though, this marked her as strange and different and she would act out with Alex because of it, often pulling pranks and scheming. People didn't like this and soon she and Alex were being forced to move.
When Kaile was eight, she finally got adopted despite the fact that her file, as well as Alex's, was filled with notes that labeled them as 'bad apples' and 'in need of therapy'. Kaile finally got a chance to be really happy. Sure, she still had to share a room with Alex, but her foster parents seemed to accept, even like, her abilities and she no longer had to even try to hide them, instead practicing and letting herself accept herself.
Personality: Kaile is, or at least looks like, a sweetheart. You know, 'heart of gold' and 'gave the starving puppy her sandwich because she felt sad for it' kind of innocent sweetheart. Her looks deceive many. Yes, she is very sweet when she wants to be and is almost as protective of her brother as he is of her, but she isn't above scheming and using her gifts to her advantage, sometimes with her brother. Though, most of the time she is arguing with him. She is right, and he is wrong. No ifs, ands, or butts about it. That's another thing- Kaile can be stubborn as a bull if she wants to be.
Equipment: Kaile is very prone to carrying around all manner of mystical pendants and items, some of which she intentionally created and some of which she did accidentally, in a raggedy old burlap bag she made out of her first real blanket- the one she was dropped off in. It's kind of big, as she adds onto it from time to time as she grows (the first orphanage she and her brother went to that she could learn things in had a girl in in it who knew sewing and taught a growing Kaile) but mostly it has stayed the same. She carries it with her, and in it she carries many items: a small pair of clip-on earrings (her ears aren't pierced) that are enchanted to allow whoever is wearing them to have super-hearing, but only for a minute, a real mood necklace (that is, a necklace enchanted to tell her other people's moods), and a small square of lamented paper that creates a map of the area thirty feet around the user as well as telling her where people are (what can she say? She saw Harry Potter- it gave her ideas!), to name a few. But her favorite by far is the bag itself- if you unclip the straps that hold it to her shoulder and wrap it around something, it locks it tightly. Magically tightly. Not even Alex's stick can get through a door locked by it.
Other: N/A (three acceptees)
