Background
Born Kaylaí Florence Miller, in the late spring. Daughter to Tompkin and Alouette. Raised on a small farmstead in Westfall, Kay was educated at the Moonbrook schoolhouse.

She was a happy but practical child, hardy and toughened from working on the farmstead and helping care for her two younger brothers. Her father had taught her to wield a shortsword so that she could defend herself against creatures such as the Coyote, Hawks and Gnolls that roamed the medowlands.

In the summer following her tenth birthday a Paladin recruiter visited Moonbrook and the schoolhouse, from which a handful of children were selected to be offered an Education and training in the ways of the paladins, in the Abbey at Northshire. Kay was among those chosen.

For four years Kay worked, trained and studied hard, Progressing well amongst her bretheren. In the winter before her fifteenth birthday a letter arrived from her Mother. Her father was taken ill and wished to see her.

Kay returned home to westfall, and helped nurse her father and look after the farmstead. As the snows melted away and the first sunny day broke after the cold winter, Tompkin passed away. He was buried in the Graveyard on the edge of Moonbrook.

Kaylaí wished to return to the Paladin Order but Alouette begged her to stay, just for a few months, to help out.

Months became years, and Kay drifted towards Adulthood, Always working, she never complained, but spent hours after dark in the barn training with weapons, and studying the scrolls she had brought back with her from the Abbey.

Ten years had passed since Kay had been called home. Mike and Thomas had both left home and gone to work in the city. Kay was still at the farmstead, helping her mother. That winter the Great cataclysm shook the world, Stormwind had been attacked by a great dragon, and the Homeless had fled to Westfall. Crops were destroyed and stolen, Livestock stolen away and killed, Kay found herself defending her mother and her home from her own countrymen.

Alouette made the decision that she would leave the home. She felt safest where the guard was, After-all Kaylaí couldnt defend them against their own people, what chance did they have against any other threat? They packed what they could, and loaded it into the Old carriage, the one that had once travelled from Lordaeron.

They reached Stormwind. Alouette moved in with Thomas and his Wife, and Kaylaí sought out her old tutour in Northshire.

She was told that she was now too Old for training, and that they were already providing for as many students as they could. Perhaps Kay would be best placed within the Stormwind Army?

She left Northshire, and returned to Stormwind. Kay Signed up in the Stormwind Guard, Progressing Quickly from Recruit to Constable.

Some Months later Kay resigned from The Guard, She is currently serving with the Lordaeron Liberation Front (KoL) and seeing Lord Allantrius Greendale

Current Status

When Tompkin was in his twelth summer he began work at the Lawson estate, just as his father and grandfather before him. He started out as a stable-boy, eventually being appointed to lead Alouette's Horse when she wished to ride out.

Over the following years their friendship blossomed, much to the Horror of the Blythe-Lawson household. Eventually Tompkin was dismissed from the Household and sent to work on the Farmsteads on the Border of Tirisfal and the Forest of Silverpine banned from contacting Alouette.

The pair continued to meet in secret, Tompkin waiting out in the Glades of Tirisfal for Alouette to take her evening ride. One evening Alouette arrived at the farmstead as the Sun was setting, Her horse was worn from riding full pelt. She was by now 16, and Tompkin 18.

She confessed to Tompkin that she was with child, Her physician was sure of it, She begged Tompkin to leave, or her Father would have him whipped and Hung when he found out.

She approached to find it was a carriage, its two horses harnessed to the front, with storm lanterns swinging from the Drivers perch. Tompkin stood beside the horses soothing them.

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;">He had purchased the Carriage and Horses with his savings over many years. He told Alouette that he was headed south, to set up his own smallholding, and asked if she would come with him and be his wife.

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;">Alouette consented and the pair rode the carriage up to the Monastary, where a Priest consented to marry the pair. They were riding south through Tirisfal, headed for Southshore port as Dawn broke over Tirisfall.

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;">When the Third-war broke out, Many fled south or lost their lives. Some joined various Military Organisations - The Households of Lawson and Blythe were decimated, although one or two lines of the family survive. Kaylaí has never met them.

Personal Notes
Kay is an honest and sometimes emotional individual. Despite her best intentions she can react before thinking.

She is the current Heiress to the Blythe-Lawson fortune, And Associated titles, with only her Mother, Allouette Miller, nee -Blythe-Lawton, being current head of the household.

Kay seemingly pays little attention to her family heritidge, and is unfussed by the fact that her family owned a large manor and extensive land prior to the fall of Lordaeron.

She does however, have her mothers copy of 'Galfords Peerage', an Old tome detailing the Lineage of Lordearons powerful familys.

Kay is Kind and Thoughtful, if a little stubborn, and has a thirst for Knowledge, she can often be found with her head in a book, or studying her old teaching-scrolls.
