KELOWNA KÚPER
THE BASICS
Name: Kelowna Kúper - Her second name is more of a description than a surname
Gender: Female (she/her)
Age: 31 | Autumn
Current residence: Selâ | Nythalaê
Occupation: Cooper. She makes barrels.
Social standing: Citizen
Loyalty: None. Yet. She likes the vintner who buys her barrels but she wouldn't exactly describe herself as 'loyal' to him.
APPEARANCE
Face claim: Anya Taylor-Joy
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 145 lbs
Description: Kelowna is a tall, gangly woman with long fingers, long limbs, a long face, and long, stringy white hair. What her sisters lacked in height and awkwardness was thrust upon Kelowna. Her eyes are very large and very blue, and her milky white skin is ruddy and rugged from the years of her working hard. She is skinny and tall, but she looks strong - her jaw and her nose and the wrinkle between her brow all speak to a lifetime of labor and a want for small pleasures. And she looks hungry. And she also looks quite annoyed all the time.
BEHAVIOR
Strengths: Physically she is very strong, she has an even temper, a lovely singing voice, and she is honest. When she is kind, it's the kind of kindness that feels like a hot bowl of soup.
Weaknesses: The honesty is nearly to a fault. She is very stubborn, tends to think less of people of a higher social standing than her (quick to judgment), and takes things very personally without the ability to really give people the benefit of the doubt. She also thinks she's smarter than you, however unearned that is. (She'd never say that, though.)
Motivation: She doesn't want to have to rely on anyone else.
Personality: Kelowna would never admit it, but she's the type of person who looks at her lot in life and cannot hurdle past the unfairness. She's made a steady living for herself and takes pride in her trade, but she resents her stolen life - she wanted to be an adventurer, she wanted to see the world and travel with her father, but she also had a deep and unspoken responsibility to her family as the eldest of three daughters. A sense of import in labor was instilled into her from a very young age as she was apprenticed as soon as she could hold a hammer, and she is thankful for the opportunities she's been given, but she can't stop from daydreaming. The city's hustle and rush doesn't seem to suit her - she'd much prefer to be in the country, but until she can make sure her family will be taken care of, she's stuck.

History: Kelowna was born in Nythalaê to a very normal family. Her father was a stonemason and her mother was a baker. She is the eldest of three daughters - a harsh responsibility. As her parents aged and her sisters were born, her parents realized they would not be having a son and as soon as Kelowna was old enough, apprenticed her to a cooper who lived in their neighborhood. She worked very hard for many years throughout her apprenticeship and soon became a journeyman - she would travel to different parts of the town and even outside the city walls to mend casks, barrels, feed troughs for animals. Her craft was honed, her life was set, her mind began to race with the unexplored possibilities as she saw travelers come to and from the city. A general unease set in. She began to wonder what it would be like to train one of her sisters to do her work in her stead and leave the city, to go and see the wonders of the world that her mother used to tell her stories of. But before the thought could gestate into action, Kelowna's father died, leaving the family destitute and reliant on Kelowna. So, she continued to work. Now, however, her sister's have both married and her mother lives with one of their families, and the wanderlust has started to creep back into her heart.
