PERSONALITY
Kate has always been proud of who she is, disregarding those that sneer at her crew or herself and talk behind their backs. She has always loved being different, and nothing will ever change that thought. She has a high level of confidence; convinced that she can achieve what she wants in life as long as she works hard enough. Confidence gives her the power to go forward. And that she does. She has had never had a boyfriend, but she has a friendly personality. However, she has only had her eyes set on no man now, and she isn't that type of girl who would flirt and be Charming.
Being as outgoing as it is, there is no surprise that Kate has only a few friends before her mother and sister deaths. Her only true friends is those at Shipwreck Cove and those that were followers of Mistress Ching. She has a few friends around the seas and is generally an easy girl to get along with. As long as you respect her and her beliefs in the Code and the Brethern Court. She will not have a problem with you. Only occasionally will she not like someone; and that could be from a range of different reasons. She is fiercely loyal, and puts up with no patronizing or bullying from other people. She never has tolerated bullies, and never will; she sees it as people who are scared. Although she can be a bully as well on her bad days.
She has no patience whatsoever and can rarely stand to wait for something for more than a few minutes. Along with her little patience, she has her big temper; she may not have the trademark pirate smile, but she most certainly has the temper aspect. Anger is a daily occurrence for Kate whether it be from a single strand of hair out of place or to a full scale argument you can guess that she'll be angry about it. Around those particular days of the month it isn't wise to mess her around. Other than that Kate is very kind and adventitious. She always looks for the best in people and treats them with respect. Kate has a caring and sensitive side towards mostly anyone, who needs it Kate is also very independent meaning she loves to do things and pays her own way.
On the other hand her friends mostly summarizes her to be clever, very short tempered, and defensive of herself. Kate is clever and smart in her life and yet in school. Being very short tempered an defensive can come all at once for herself or at someone. After this happens she can become very regretful and with-dawn without talking to no one. Kate agrees with her friends of having opinions, but it can sometimes be negative. Kate overall isn't a self-centered, lustful, pride, or a care free person. She tends to break the rules when she needs or has to be done.

BACKGROUND;
Kate's life began in Dublin, Ireland on August 4th. She was her parents pride and joy from the start. Her mother was a Lady of the English Court and a Irish Rose. Her father was a Lord and buisness at the London Office of the East India Trading Company. Kate was mostly raised in Dublin while her father was away in London. She was schooled by her grandmother Melissa McMuarry, who was a retired certified governess and her lessons were very strict. Kate hated how her grandmother taught in such a way and began to wonder if the 'certification' was just made up? She never found that answer. Aside from that Kate was a good student in Art, Literature, Dance, and Language. Although in her Proper Edicate lessons she needed work on. She would always say the opposite, sloch in her chair, or get up from the table without asking. Overtime she corrected herself and was free of her grandmother's lessons. Kate enjoyed the Irish lifestyle and helping out her mother, but that all came to an end when she was only thirteen.
The news came that her grandmother Melissa May-Mae had passed away of an unknown illness. Her mother Lady Victoria was terribly upset and never got over it. So she just began to waste away. The one thing that worried Kate was that her mother was with child and basically was straving it and herself. Kate tried to get her mother to eat something and now and then she would, but not much. Within a few months her mother was nothing, but skin and bones. Her mother and new baby sister Elizabeth Jane died in childbirth. This was a terrible lost for Kate and her father. She blamed her grandmother's death for this slowly she anger on this took over her life. Once Kate's 14th year rolled around her father had everything packed up and moved to a manison in London. Kate didn't want to leave Dublin, but had no choice. She went with her father to the busy town of London. Almost immediently she began to change. She was fitted with English style clothes, shoes, etc and even her hairstyle was different. She hated the English fashion. Most ladies that she met said she had a horrible pirate outlook for a beautiful young lady of the English court.
When Kate was sixteen she went to visit her father at the East India Company, London Office. Upon arrival she asked where her father's office was, but before she could get down the hall well she found herself staring out into the courtyard watching someone dressed as a pirate being hung. This was horrifing to watch. She turned away only to be bumped with another pirate bound for the noose. He was orinental and a pirate. Dong Ji. This would be the start of Kate's destiny and into the world of piracy. Before the noose was even place he escaped the courtyard and sailed back to Shipwreck Cove in the Caribbean and told his captain Mistress Chang about the young girl with light green eyes he had bumped into. Mistress Chang knew that this girl had a great fortune about herself. She told them to keep an eye out for the girl with light green eyes and bring her to her when they saw her. Back in London, Kate' father had met someone and when the announcement was made that he was going to remarry. Kate was furious and the relationship with her father diminsed rapidly long after the marriage. With a new stepmother, Kate never did help out she just went about doing her own thing. Things got so bad when her stepmother held a party and she ruined it by aguring with a Lord's son and throwing her drink at his face. Her stepmother was embrassed and emotionally upset. Her father had a talk into which Kate threaten to leave and never come back to face the man that was once her father. Kate packed a small bag and left the house dressed in a Irish green dress and red cloak. Never once did Kate look back. She bought a ticket to Port Royal in the Caribbean to start a new life, but news spread to Mistress Chang that the girl had been spotted on a ship bound for Port Royal.
Once in the waters of the Caribbean, Mistress Chang took over the passenger ship and had Kate brought to her on her very own ship. She read Kate's face by touching it since she was blind and read her hands seeing what she had been through and what was in her future. Mistress Chang found Kate to her liking saying that she had a dark past filled with anger and death and that her future was very bright. Kate accepted her offer to become a pirate in order to have a new life and a step forwards her future. She began to learn the pirate ways which was very hard and difficult for a woman since many men feared having a woman aboard was bad luck but still she accomplished it in a few long and hard years later when she climbed the ranks to Quartermaster. At age Twenty, she became a Captain of her own ship after helping out with a battle against an Spanish ship after capturing the captain and basically killing him by order of her own captain who awarded her with the ship they had just captured. Being the Captain she renamed the Spanish Galleon, The Poisoned Chalice and sailed under her own colors (redish/black background, Heart set above crossed swords). This news reached the ears of Mistress Ching, who was in the Pacific at the time, about a fierce battle against a few Spanish ships and one girl with those light green eyes becoming captain. Of course by the time it reached Ching it had been fictionized so much from the real true. She believed the real one when Kate was asked to come and see her. During the fight for freedom, Kate did participate and took down a few ships. She met with Mistress Chang after the celebration at Shipwreck Cove where she handed Kate a piece of thread on in was the chinese zodiac of the Dragon but, she didn't tell her that she was her successor.
Within a few years of sailing the Caribbean and beyond, Kate became one of the most feared female pirate next to Mary Reade, but that was just a mere rumor or story that pirates told to other pirates. Kate did however went home to Dublin to pay her mother and baby sister final respects in the town's cerementry before she sailed back to the Caribbean. During Kate's time away from the Caribbean Mistress Ching fell graverly ill and passed on just after Kate pulled into port. Ching's followers, captains and crew of her armada fell to thier knees when Kate was proclaimed the Pirate Lord of the Pacific Ocean and the youngest member of the Brethern Court. Only then she realized that she was Mistress Ching's successor. Kate was at first well speechless and didn't want to become a Pirate Lord but, after a few days she took the position knowing fate had brought her here. That very day she and Ching's armada she sailed to her ocean in the Pacific to protect it. She had her flag changed to a red/black background, an arm with sword, a heart, and Chinese symbols for Freedom. This meant she showed no mercy with power of being a Captain and Pirate Lord and she had Freedom. She grew to love the orinatel places such as Japan and China. Over the course of a year she fought ships in the Pacific before news came to her corner of the world that Cutler Beckett had survived and was now threatening the western world. She gave the order to load up her ship and the ships in the armada that had been passed on to her from Mistress Ching. Without much delay, she sailed with the armada behind her to Shipwreck Cove to await further instructions and if the song will be sung again. On August 4th, Kate arrived at Shipwreck Cove on her birthday. She and her followers are awaiting word if and when the Court well assemble to fight Beckett once again.

ROLE PLAY EXAMPLE;
The day was very beautiful and happy. Everyone seemed to be happy that thing were slowly turning around now that Prince Arthur was Regent due that his father was mentally challenged due to Lady Morgana's words and actions towards him and the Kingdom. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the sudden take over and tryant ruler that made everyone feared for thier lives. Most have abandon the town for another village elsewhere. Once Prince Arthur came back and took charge it was like that time had been earsed from everyone's minds. People had picked up the pieces and moving on. Although many still fear for Lady Morgana's return and some were preparing to fight incase she came back. Other then that everyone seemed happy and life had returned to Camelot. Sinéad had reopen the tavern with it's former owner Helen. She was very happy to reopen it cause it allowed her to see some old friends and meet new ones. Her tavern The Jasmine Flower was a friendly family tavern aside from the others in town. She was very happy that Helen became the co-owner cause one thing was for sure. She didn't know how to manage a tavern and Helen was teaching her. Today, infact the tavern was full up for lunch and some were waiting on a table, but there was a downside to this day as well. It was the six month anniversy of Lily's death. That sweet, happy go lucky child that was orphaned during the raid by Cenred. She had became close to the young three year old child and waited a week in order for her real parents to come, but they never came. So she adopted Lily Carlisle as her own. For a child she loved magic that she would do in the privacy of her home above the resturant. Lily couldn't do magic but, oh how she wanted too. Then those happy days came to an end when Lily was found murdered in the forest after being kidnapped. Sinéad still regretted that day when she told Lily to stay in the house while she was at work below. She should of brought her to work and let her help, but she couldn't turn back time. No one could not even magic could do that.
Sinéad stared blankly at the paperwork infront of her in her office at the resturant. She couldn't focus. Helen came in and saw her like this. She told her to take the rest of the day off since Lily meant alot for her. She left the tavern and walked out into the semi-busy street. Breathing in the fresh air made her think more clearly. People that passed her by seem very happy and a few that knew her talked to her and she was very happy to stand there and have a conversation with someone. After talking to the owner of the small stables on her street about how her horse Jade was doing and other things she bide him a goodbye and saddle her horse before riding out of the stables and onto the busy main street in Camelot. She did stop and buy a buddle of various flowers for Lily's gravesite which she visited every few months. Some thought that she should forget about her and make new friends or find someone. This was only a problem for her. One she was a witch. Two she was really three years old due to her gift that mind her look older. Three she wasn't interest in finding someone or chasing one. Those first two things made her life a little uneasy and even if she had friends or someone what would thier reaction be when she told them or him? Shaking her head she pushed that out of her mind and rode out of the city taking the road into the forest. She would be back in a few hours. The ride to the gravesit in the forest didn't take long for her to find. Once there she dismounted her Irish Mustang, Jade and took the flowers to the gravesite and put them in the soil magically making them stay alive until her next visit. "Hey Lily." She managed to say after fixing the flowers, "I miss you, but I am doing alright don't you worry."
After a few hours of sitting there talking to her. Sinéad bide her adopted daughter goodbye and saddled her horse to ride back to Camelot. She took a small senec route instead of the one she came in on. She rode for about an hour just listening in on the sounds of nature. She loved the forest. It was more peaceful and yet magical to her. She knew to be out of the forest before sundown, but she would be back long before sundown. Spotting a lake nearby she stirred her horse over to it so they both could take a break before racing back. Walking over the lake it was very beautiful and yet she can sense both good and bad magic around it. She was prepared for everything. She sat near the edge of the lake munching on a apple she had stored in her sadle bag. Sitting there she thought about her family back in Limerick. She missed them so much and she wanted to visit them soon due that she had a little non-magic baby sister Cearra. She was also very happy that the ban on her had been lifted for her to come and go whenever she wanted, but she had been gone almost two years and she now considered herself a citizen of Camelot eventhough she was of noble blood. Camelot was her home and she had a life here. So she couldn't abandon it and move back to Limerick. She looked at her horse for a moment before tossing Jade the rest of the apple which she took happily. Sinéad turned her attention back to the lake for awhile. She knew that she had to leave soon to get back to Camelot before the sun disappeared and the gates were shut up for the night.
