If one doesn’t know her, one would assume that Kalea is a quiet, demure young lady who does her best to be invisible and not cause waves. She’s polite and gently spoken, who spends most of her time listening to what is going on around her, rather than partaking in it.

It is, however, a persona brought on by her time as a drudge, and gives very little indication of the young woman hidden below the surface.

Kalea is a bright, outgoing spark who loves to gossip playfully; she’s intelligent and learns easily but dislikes lessons. Her words are often sassy and full of playful quip, teasing her siblings and enjoying every moment of being a boisterous and outgoing girl. She’s proud, often to a fault, and takes a great deal of care with her work and her appearance. Kalea is childish, throwing tantrums and nasty words at her siblings when they crush her spirit or scold her, especially in private. Hate often sparks from her bright eyes when she’s scolded in public, but she bites her tongue in such situations.

Spoiled to a fault, she’s got a talent for being obnoxious and unmoving when she wants something, or thinks she is right. She expects to be doted upon to a certain degree by certain people, and gets put out when it doesn’t happen. She’s the baby girl of her family, and has always enjoyed the spoiling that position has brought with it. She thoroughly soaked up the spoiling when living with Jalazmar and Xyliah.

Kalea hasn’t really considered that she could possibly be a dragonrider someday, but she has seen all the fun women can get up to in the Weyr, and spends a great deal of her time dodging her brother and sisters as she sets out to make friends and carve a niche for herself in the Weyr life. She wants to be more than a drudge, or a servant! She wants to be anything and everything that she can, and Kalea will be damned if anyone is going to get in her way.
