Detailed Personality
+Respectful+ Kaesha minds her manners very well when it comes to others and always makes an effort to be polite. For the most part she holds her tongue and remains calm, making sure to use the correct titles and customs of respect.
+Empathetic+ Kaesha is very attuned to others emotions and mood changes, even able to read subtle body cues. Not only can she physically feel others emotions but she can connect with you, even if you’re going through something she hasn’t experienced. This makes her very understanding and a really good person to vent to or a shoulder to cry on.
+Reliable+ Kaesha doesn’t give her word lightly, so if she does you can guarantee that whatever she promised will be accomplished. She has been taught that follow through is very important which is why she always keeps her promises, only making them when she has thought it through. This pairs very well with her hardworking nature, she's got your back.
+Loving+ Kaesha is a very caring woman with a gentle heart, she truly cares about others. When it comes to strangers she has a warm and inviting aura, as well as motherly tendencies. Those that worm their way into her heart however suffer lots of affection, even more doting. She is extremely affectionate and shows her fondness with touch and gifts.
+Open-Minded+ Kaesha knows that everybody is different and handles experiences differently, which is why she believes all feelings/reactions are valid. This makes her very accepting of views/concepts that don't fall under the majority, she will always listen and hear you out. This also is why she has the 2 chances rule when it comes to dislike, believing everybody deserves a second chance. However she is quite the softie and is known to give out even more chances, depending on the person and situation. She always puts herself in other's shoes and thinks before she acts.
+Eager+ Kaesha has a unquenchable thirst for knowledge and an incredible curiosity, she wants to learn everything and anything she can. She always puts her best into tasks, attentive when it comes to wisdom and teachings and even asking questions for better understanding. This gives her a rather enthusiastic and youthful energy that can pull people in.
=Introverted= Kaesha is rather reserved and awkward when it comes to people, truly struggling to interact and make conversation with others. Due to this she likes to keep her circle small and requires time to recharge, too much interactions cause a lot of stress. She doesn't know how to make conversation unless she "clicks" with you, leading to her simply listening and nodding along with what you say. When it comes to people she clicks with she is more willing to share, much more relaxed and comfortable with conversations as well as more willing to visit.
=Charismatic= Kaesha tends to draw others in despite being introverted, her gentle and warm aura makes others comfortable in her presence. She also has a helpless baby animal bit to her, causing others to be more patient with her and desiring to help. She'll end up listening to complete strangers sharing very personal details about their life and even gifts, which she affectionately jokes are offerings. While mostly unaware of this she's capable of taking advantage on occasion, meaning better deals and even gifts. She mostly claims her success to fame being her meek side, as if she doesn't know what she's doing and is in need of guidance.
=Sassy= Kaesha is rather cheeky and bold with her words and actions, something that tends to come off as surprising. She's incredibly lively and has random bursts of energy that boost her confidence despite low self esteem, displaying this in amusing ways. Usually it consists of playful banter where she informs you it's because she's simply too cute, or that you love her. If she's comfortable with you this even extends to flirting which isn't meant to be taken seriously, she isn't coming onto you. She also lacks a good filter when it comes to words and the occasional exceptional comeback.
=Adaptable= Kaesha tends to mask while interacting with strangers, shaping her personality around whoever is present at the moment. This started out due to a fear of being abandoned for being problematic, turning into a habit. She is exceptionally guarded when it comes to herself and struggles to be true to herself, sometimes even getting lost in this created persona. However it allows her to draw less attention towards herself and to get along generally pretty well.
=Patient= Kaesha often appears calm and collected, not expressing her dislike in uncomfortable situations and handling them rather well. In reality she is not patient whatsoever and instead bottles her feelings, until they explode violently upon a poor unsuspecting victim. She doesn't know how to express that she is uncomfortable or getting agitated and so she lets others drag on, leading to her being taken advantage of. However she is capable of handling it better when it comes to children or people she's fond of, doing her best to not lash out and practicing breathing techniques.
=Gullible= Kaesha is rather slow on the uptake and doesn't always catch on, especially when it comes to jokes. Despite expecting the worst out of others it is incredibly easy to emotionally guilt trip her into action, nearly 100% effective. Even if she is self aware that she's being taken advantage of she can't say no, leading to missed opportunities/falling into traps/over paying/overextending herself.
-Stubborn- Kaesha is very set in her ways and generally refuses to change her mind, once it's made up she's unlikely to budge. This leads to her acting selfishly and not fully grasping the consequences of her actions, or even that she's being ridiculous or even cruel. A big thing for her is trust and if she feels it has been broken, things rarely ever go back to being the same. Due to the feeling of hurt at those she trusts stabbing her in the back she will close up and hold one hell of a grudge, rarely giving a second chance unless you're very special to her. She doesn't like giving out chances at making amends and acts rather icy or even making a jab at the victim of her wrath. She is very headstrong which leads to overly estimating how well she can handle a situation, causing reckless actions that lead to dangerous situations. She's always easily taken advantage of by telling her she can't do something, this forces her to prove you wrong.
-Pessimistic- Kaesha is more than aware of the world being a cruel and unfair place, leading to her expecting the worst and not much for optimism. She has seen the best and worst of humanity, how selfish people really are. Generally she acts on this with inappropriate humor, cynical remarks and tons of sarcasm. She also shares her dark observations openly and how possible it is for things to turn bad.
-Spiteful- Kaesha is horrendously vindictive and doesn't take being knocked down lightly, even if she doesn't express this right away. She is big on getting even and dishing out appropriate punishments, stemming out of anger. She can get out of hand over the pettiest things and isn't afraid of taking action.
-Materialistic- Kaesha is rather embarrassed about this but she has a unhealthy love for pretty and valuable things, she craves the best in just about everything. This leads to her hoarding valuables and struggling to sell/dispose of them, struggling to share them with those around her and even risking her life for a pretty gem. She tends to be very calculating with profits which results in unusual actions, such as collecting the armor/inventories of bandits she kills and even charging higher prices on services she provides. Occasionally she acts more judgmental towards someone in fancy clothing or envious of another's riches and personal comforts.
-Unpredictable- Kaesha tends to be rather erratic depending on her mentality, some of her positive traits will contradict her negative ones. For example if she hasn’t slept for a while she loses her empathetic viewpoints and can be outright mean. Sometimes she will speak up and let you have it but more often than not, she bottles it up and allows others to bend her to their will. Her biggest struggle with this is when she becomes emotionally drained and closes up, too exhausted to take in any positive emotions and leading her to be rather numbed. When she is in this numb state she’s more logical and doesn’t follow the heart.
-Misoneistic- Kaesha struggles when her routines are interrupted or there is a noticeably large change, not knowing how to properly handle these emotions and instead acting out. She has a very specific bubble of comfort which leads to her shutting down if it's popped. This extends towards food, loved ones, strategy and even traveling. She is very distrustful of change and tends to refuse them without even giving it a chance. Most of this is due to her deep rooted trauma of being abandoned, tied to her need to be in control.

Fighting Style
Kaesha dislikes charging into battle and instead scopes out the land, searching for a high spot in which she can perch herself on and then let arrows loose. When it comes to forests she looks for bushy areas with coverage so she can shoot and then hide again. She relies a lot on mages assistance in keeping enemies at bay and teamwork, she needs her companion to trust her arrows as she trusts their abilities. When enemies come too close/infiltrate that's when she breaks out her daggers and does her best to hit vital spots, but it's not as precise as aiming with her bow. If she's feeling particularly violent and donned well in armor she will charge in order to focus aggro on her, keeping the enemies busy.
Battle Abilities
Archery: she prides herself most on her skill with the bow and has been practicing for as long as she can remember. She can draw her arrows pretty fast and generally hits her targets, her missing rate is rather low. Her bow is very well broken in and feels as if it's an extension of her arm. She always makes sure to collect her arrows and keep them well stocked.
Daggers: due to not being the best with swords she chose to focus her energy into daggers, something she just thinks are really cool. With lots of practice she is accustomed to using them and prefers wielding large ones for close combat. She has pretty good technique and only actively struggles if her enemy is donned in lots of armor. Her larger ones are used in the place of swords, with the focus of dps and close combat. She has a small dagger used for assassinations/quick kills mostly, however she's known to occasionally throw it at her enemies vital points (ex: neck).
Swordsmanship: while she hasn't exactly mastered it, she knows how to hold and use a sword thanks to her father's teachings and so she carries a longer blade. Due to a lack of noteworthy technique she only uses it in emergencies when her enemy takes her by surprise and she is unable to draw her daggers, a last defense type thing. Depending on the size of her enemy she will swing it with one hand or use both. She knows her way around it well enough but it isn't very likely she'll win any professional duels.
Poison: well aware just how questionable these methods are, she has always been very interested in poisons and how effective they are. Due to this curiosity she has studied various poisons carefully, able to create and implement a wide variety. She has poisons for stopping human's hearts designated to stealthy assassinations, paralyzing and deadly poisons for smaller enemies and even more potent poison for monsters. She keeps these on hand and while they don't seem very well organized she knows which is which, including the ones for specific monsters.
Stealth: this is her absolute favorite method of combat as well as the skill she favors the most. Due to her upbringing she has always been very aware of her presence, leading to her doing everything/anything to not draw attention to her. Even despite her large mass she can sneak up on most humans and monsters, only struggling with races with very good hearing like elves. She is very light on her feet and careful, rarely ever stepping on branches or tripping.
Low Magic: her entire life she has wished for magical powers, wanting to be a sorceress but it wasn't fated. Her mana is incredibly low and goes quick, leaving her exhausted and unable to accomplish much. Due to this she has trained very carefully and sparingly, choosing healing and fire. Her fire spell is very weak and not suited for combat, instead she uses it only for cooking and starting a campfire. Healing magic however she worked very hard to learn from Quina, to the point where she can close most wounds. She pairs it with her medical knowledge in order to increase success, especially since this leaves her utterly exhausted. She is known to abuse her body's limit when it comes to healing others, paying the price.
Medical Knowledge: forced to accept her low mana she turned to medic skills, anything to patch her comrades up! She knows how to bandage wounds, the right amount of pressure, how to lie people with specific conditions, how to make a splint as well as sewing up wounds. She pairs this with specific ointments and makes sure the wound is sufficiently cleaned and bandages are changed frequently in order to prevent infection. She is capable of attaching a ligament if it's not completely severed but her success rates differ, unable to amputate limbs or reconnect severed ones. She always has milk of the poppy on hand for pain management.
Bestiary Knowledge: monsters and creatures have always been a huge target of interest, Kaesha always wants to learn more about them. Adaro has spoiled her not only with books but his own vast knowledge as a monster hunter, thus there isn't many monsters she doesn't know about. She is aware of the biggest weaknesses to most and how you should handle them, in retrospect as actual combat never goes as planned/expected. She utilizes this mostly in avoiding deadly creatures, poisons for specific monsters and then key weak points. It's also just fun to educate others.
Defensive Techniques: she is very sturdy and it takes a lot to successfully knock her down, at least when it comes to things close to her size. She isn't extremely good at blocking which is why she relies on heavy armor, knee guards, gauntlets and an elbow shield. She's slightly quick on her feet and knows how to keep the most deadly spots safe, rather scrappy!
Physical Strength: she's no body builder but she has made quite the life of lifting heavier things, able to pick up fellow men of her village. This makes it easier for her to carry heavy loads for longer than the average person, toss goblins off with ease and to wear her heavy armor with ease.
Vital Points: she dislikes how messy killing things gets, which is why she puts effort into hitting lethal spots that won't bleed out so severely. She has a preference for aiming for the eyes, heart, lungs, throat, spine and head but isn't above the knees, back of the knees, reproductive organs and ears. She knows just the right way to flip an attacks grip off her throat, kick the knees/groan for stun damage and to palm strike the nose and jaw. When being held she has a few tips for escaping as well: lifting their legs under them, head butt backwards or to push away their arms from her throat. She doesn't like the more messy aspects of the human body and can only do things like pushing eyes inwards if it's life or death.
Scouting: while not a tactician she enjoys scoping out the land before getting into anything, specifically high places to perch on and shoot or very brushy places to go back and fourth. She likes to know that there are places to escape to and what could potentially delay her enemies, or even herself. It's also very important to get a feel for how many enemies are out there, especially when it comes to goblin hoards. She doesn't always have the chance to look and plan out her attacks either, putting her at a disadvantage because she isn't very quick on her feet.

Pets
Kohta “bear”: this is her beloved very large dog whose left hind leg was lost, instead there is a prosthetic. He is extremely intelligent and has two modes, guard and funtime. When he’s out with her she dons him in spiked armor. Kohta is a very sweet boy who loves people and attention, always showing off his toys but struggling to share. He is generally alert and doesn’t like other creatures getting too close. He was a coping gift for Kaesha when she first came to live with Adaro, a family pet for her and Quina. He lost his leg when he risked his life for Kaesha and the two of them recovered together. He is exceptionally soft with a tiny hint of coarse fur, but only people he’s comfortable with can hug him.
Muffin: this is the second dog she got, formerly a stray. Muffin was always wandering around their town and so Kaesha began feeding her, eventually she just came home with her. Muffin is a very sweet girl who thrives on attention, she will make you pet her forever if you let her. She was taught to be a hunting dog instead of a war dog, being very good at chasing down rabbits and even the occasional bird. She listens very well as well, never tries to chase down goblins or enemies. She was trained to hide until things clear down if they get bad, however she can handle a few goblins and the occasional wolf. She doesn’t put heavy armor on Muffin because she can’t handle it, instead she wears simple leather armor when Kaesha is expecting trouble. Her fur is a bit rough with a soft undercoat.
Pumpkin: a puppy both her and Quina begged Adaro for, she is only a year old by the beginning of things. Pumpkin is a very sassy girl who loves to play, is always ruffing and loves food. She has been spoiled rotten and has no special qualities except for being a sweet pet. Pumpkin dislikes most people and isn’t known for letting strangers pet her, she also dislikes most pets. She gets very scared easily and runs to Kaesha when there is danger, easily tucked into her shirt for safety. Pumpkin barely weighs 5lbs and is the softest dog you ever will touch, even if she doesn’t look soft at first glance.
Mister: the unexpected puppy of Muffin and Kohta, this little guy is trouble! He is a very curious little guy who is still learning the importance of listening, so when they’re outside of the village he wears a leather harness with a thin rope, attached to Kaesha. He is rather skittish when it comes to people but gets very excited about birds and small animals. He isn’t even a year old yet but weighs 11lbs and is expected to get very big. His fur is rather coarse and easily affected by static, with the cutest bedhead you’ll ever see.

History
Trivia!
Kaesha means “vigorous”
She was born the 5th of May
She is 5'5 1/2 with a apple shaped body, noticeably loosing weight as time progresses
Originally her breasts were DD's but after losing some body mass, they go down to D's
Some noticeable features include facial moles, a mole on her neck, round face, thick eyebrows, a blank expression and not much booty
Kaesha has a lot of scars from various encounters: 3 cheek slashes and a tiny scar across her nose were from a wolf getting too close and the various others were from her first monster kill. After Grigori's attack she gains a long gash from her collarbone down her chest, deep mark across her neck, small gash down her right collarbone, small chin scratch, extension to her face scarring and a deep clawmark on the right side of her stomach. Moving forward she is caught by surprise and earns a clawmark down her chest.
Kaesha has multiple tattoo's that each have a special meaning to her. 3 crossed arrows represent long lasting friendships and are in regard to her friendship with Valmiro and Quina. Viking chevron arrows represent good luck and are reminders to keep moving forward in life, to create her own reality. Isis represents femininity, love and fertility and was a healing protector goddess. Pyramids represent great obstacles she has overcome: coming of age, her first monster kill, surviving a near death experience and finally forging her own path. Her dotted band represents the flow of life while the crescent band represents the time her life changed for the better, this was her first tattoo. Arm bands are believed to offer protection from evil spirits entering your body, greatly reducing their influence on the journey of life. Finally her laurel band represents her victory of accepting Adaro's love and the prosperity being his daughter entails.
She smells of cotton candy, a calculated blend of essential oils

Inept
Kaesha doesn't think becoming arisen or surviving Grigori's attack to be a noteworthy achievement, instead her 4th pyramid was going off into the world to find her place
She has no plans on celebrating overcoming obstacles with another pyramid tattoo, rather content with the 4 already on her skin
As hard as she has tried, she is unable to pick locks

-Misoneistic- Kaesha struggles when her routines are interrupted or there is a noticeably large change, not knowing how to properly handle these emotions and instead acting out. She has a very specific bubble of comfort which leads to her shutting down if it's popped. This extends towards food, loved ones, strategy and even traveling. She is very distrustful of change and tends to refuse them without even giving it a chance. Most of this is due to her deep rooted trauma of being abandoned, tied to her need to be in control.

Fighting Style
Kaesha dislikes charging into battle and instead scopes out the land, searching for a high spot in which she can perch herself on and then let arrows loose. When it comes to forests she looks for bushy areas with coverage so she can shoot and then hide again. She relies a lot on mages assistance in keeping enemies at bay and teamwork, she needs her companion to trust her arrows as she trusts their abilities. When enemies come too close/infiltrate that's when she breaks out her daggers and does her best to hit vital spots, but it's not as precise as aiming with her bow. If she's feeling particularly violent and donned well in armor she will charge in order to focus aggro on her, keeping the enemies busy.
Battle Abilities
Archery: she prides herself most on her skill with the bow and has been practicing for as long as she can remember. She can draw her arrows pretty fast and generally hits her targets, her missing rate is rather low. Her bow is very well broken in and feels as if it's an extension of her arm. She always makes sure to collect her arrows and keep them well stocked.
Daggers: due to not being the best with swords she chose to focus her energy into daggers, something she just thinks are really cool. With lots of practice she is accustomed to using them and prefers wielding large ones for close combat. She has pretty good technique and only actively struggles if her enemy is donned in lots of armor. Her larger ones are used in the place of swords, with the focus of dps and close combat. She has a small dagger used for assassinations/quick kills mostly, however she's known to occasionally throw it at her enemies vital points (ex: neck).
Swordsmanship: while she hasn't exactly mastered it, she knows how to hold and use a sword thanks to her father's teachings and so she carries a longer blade. Due to a lack of noteworthy technique she only uses it in emergencies when her enemy takes her by surprise and she is unable to draw her daggers, a last defense type thing. Depending on the size of her enemy she will swing it with one hand or use both. She knows her way around it well enough but it isn't very likely she'll win any professional duels.
Poison: well aware just how questionable these methods are, she has always been very interested in poisons and how effective they are. Due to this curiosity she has studied various poisons carefully, able to create and implement a wide variety. She has poisons for stopping human's hearts designated to stealthy assassinations, paralyzing and deadly poisons for smaller enemies and even more potent poison for monsters. She keeps these on hand and while they don't seem very well organized she knows which is which, including the ones for specific monsters.
Stealth: this is her absolute favorite method of combat as well as the skill she favors the most. Due to her upbringing she has always been very aware of her presence, leading to her doing everything/anything to not draw attention to her. Even despite her large mass she can sneak up on most humans and monsters, only struggling with races with very good hearing like elves. She is very light on her feet and careful, rarely ever stepping on branches or tripping.
Low Magic: her entire life she has wished for magical powers, wanting to be a sorceress but it wasn't fated. Her mana is incredibly low and goes quick, leaving her exhausted and unable to accomplish much. Due to this she has trained very carefully and sparingly, choosing healing and fire. Her fire spell is very weak and not suited for combat, instead she uses it only for cooking and starting a campfire. Healing magic however she worked very hard to learn from Quina, to the point where she can close most wounds. She pairs it with her medical knowledge in order to increase success, especially since this leaves her utterly exhausted. She is known to abuse her body's limit when it comes to healing others, paying the price.
Medical Knowledge: forced to accept her low mana she turned to medic skills, anything to patch her comrades up! She knows how to bandage wounds, the right amount of pressure, how to lie people with specific conditions, how to make a splint as well as sewing up wounds. She pairs this with specific ointments and makes sure the wound is sufficiently cleaned and bandages are changed frequently in order to prevent infection. She is capable of attaching a ligament if it's not completely severed but her success rates differ, unable to amputate limbs or reconnect severed ones. She always has milk of the poppy on hand for pain management.
Bestiary Knowledge: monsters and creatures have always been a huge target of interest, Kaesha always wants to learn more about them. Adaro has spoiled her not only with books but his own vast knowledge as a monster hunter, thus there isn't many monsters she doesn't know about. She is aware of the biggest weaknesses to most and how you should handle them, in retrospect as actual combat never goes as planned/expected. She utilizes this mostly in avoiding deadly creatures, poisons for specific monsters and then key weak points. It's also just fun to educate others.
Defensive Techniques: she is very sturdy and it takes a lot to successfully knock her down, at least when it comes to things close to her size. She isn't extremely good at blocking which is why she relies on heavy armor, knee guards, gauntlets and an elbow shield. She's slightly quick on her feet and knows how to keep the most deadly spots safe, rather scrappy!
Physical Strength: she's no body builder but she has made quite the life of lifting heavier things, able to pick up fellow men of her village. This makes it easier for her to carry heavy loads for longer than the average person, toss goblins off with ease and to wear her heavy armor with ease.
Vital Points: she dislikes how messy killing things gets, which is why she puts effort into hitting lethal spots that won't bleed out so severely. She has a preference for aiming for the eyes, heart, lungs, throat, spine and head but isn't above the knees, back of the knees, reproductive organs and ears. She knows just the right way to flip an attacks grip off her throat, kick the knees/groan for stun damage and to palm strike the nose and jaw. When being held she has a few tips for escaping as well: lifting their legs under them, head butt backwards or to push away their arms from her throat. She doesn't like the more messy aspects of the human body and can only do things like pushing eyes inwards if it's life or death.
Scouting: while not a tactician she enjoys scoping out the land before getting into anything, specifically high places to perch on and shoot or very brushy places to go back and fourth. She likes to know that there are places to escape to and what could potentially delay her enemies, or even herself. It's also very important to get a feel for how many enemies are out there, especially when it comes to goblin hoards. She doesn't always have the chance to look and plan out her attacks either, putting her at a disadvantage because she isn't very quick on her feet.

Pets
Kohta “bear”: this is her beloved very large dog whose left hind leg was lost, instead there is a prosthetic. He is extremely intelligent and has two modes, guard and funtime. When he’s out with her she dons him in spiked armor. Kohta is a very sweet boy who loves people and attention, always showing off his toys but struggling to share. He is generally alert and doesn’t like other creatures getting too close. He was a coping gift for Kaesha when she first came to live with Adaro, a family pet for her and Quina. He lost his leg when he risked his life for Kaesha and the two of them recovered together. He is exceptionally soft with a tiny hint of coarse fur, but only people he’s comfortable with can hug him.
Muffin: this is the second dog she got, formerly a stray. Muffin was always wandering around their town and so Kaesha began feeding her, eventually she just came home with her. Muffin is a very sweet girl who thrives on attention, she will make you pet her forever if you let her. She was taught to be a hunting dog instead of a war dog, being very good at chasing down rabbits and even the occasional bird. She listens very well as well, never tries to chase down goblins or enemies. She was trained to hide until things clear down if they get bad, however she can handle a few goblins and the occasional wolf. She doesn’t put heavy armor on Muffin because she can’t handle it, instead she wears simple leather armor when Kaesha is expecting trouble. Her fur is a bit rough with a soft undercoat.
Pumpkin: a puppy both her and Quina begged Adaro for, she is only a year old by the beginning of things. Pumpkin is a very sassy girl who loves to play, is always ruffing and loves food. She has been spoiled rotten and has no special qualities except for being a sweet pet. Pumpkin dislikes most people and isn’t known for letting strangers pet her, she also dislikes most pets. She gets very scared easily and runs to Kaesha when there is danger, easily tucked into her shirt for safety. Pumpkin barely weighs 5lbs and is the softest dog you ever will touch, even if she doesn’t look soft at first glance.
Mister: the unexpected puppy of Muffin and Kohta, this little guy is trouble! He is a very curious little guy who is still learning the importance of listening, so when they’re outside of the village he wears a leather harness with a thin rope, attached to Kaesha. He is rather skittish when it comes to people but gets very excited about birds and small animals. He isn’t even a year old yet but weighs 11lbs and is expected to get very big. His fur is rather coarse and easily affected by static, with the cutest bedhead you’ll ever see.

History
Trivia!
Kaesha means “vigorous”
She was born the 5th of May
She is 5'5 1/2 with a apple shaped body, noticeably loosing weight as time progresses
Originally her breasts were DD's but after losing some body mass, they go down to D's
Some noticeable features include facial moles, a mole on her neck, round face, thick eyebrows, a blank expression and not much booty
Kaesha has a lot of scars from various encounters: 3 cheek slashes and a tiny scar across her nose were from a wolf getting too close and the various others were from her first monster kill. After Grigori's attack she gains a long gash from her collarbone down her chest, deep mark across her neck, small gash down her right collarbone, small chin scratch, extension to her face scarring and a deep clawmark on the right side of her stomach. Moving forward she is caught by surprise and earns a clawmark down her chest.
Kaesha has multiple tattoo's that each have a special meaning to her. 3 crossed arrows represent long lasting friendships and are in regard to her friendship with Valmiro and Quina. Viking chevron arrows represent good luck and are reminders to keep moving forward in life, to create her own reality. Isis represents femininity, love and fertility and was a healing protector goddess. Pyramids represent great obstacles she has overcome: coming of age, her first monster kill, surviving a near death experience and finally forging her own path. Her dotted band represents the flow of life while the crescent band represents the time her life changed for the better, this was her first tattoo. Arm bands are believed to offer protection from evil spirits entering your body, greatly reducing their influence on the journey of life. Finally her laurel band represents her victory of accepting Adaro's love and the prosperity being his daughter entails.
She smells of cotton candy, a calculated blend of essential oils

Kaesha doesn't think becoming arisen or surviving Grigori's attack to be a noteworthy achievement, instead her 4th pyramid was going off into the world to find her place
She has no plans on celebrating overcoming obstacles with another pyramid tattoo, rather content with the 4 already on her skin
As hard as she has tried, she is unable to pick locks
