FULL NAME:: Caoimhe “Kiva” Delwen
NICKNAMES:: Keev
GENDER:: female
ACTUAL AGE:: 23
APPARENT AGE:: mid to late twenties
SPECIES/RACE:: Human
PREFERRED PRONOUNS:: She/Her/Hers
SEXUAL ORIENTATION:: Demisexual
FACECLAIM:: Gemma Arterton
NATIONALITY:: Welsh
HEIGHT:: almost 5’6”
HAIR:: Brown
EYES:: Brown
SKIN:: White
DISTINGUISHING MARKS:: She has almost unnoticeable freckles. If she’s spent a significant amount of time in the sun her freckles stand out. She has a scar on her left side – just above the hip – from a car accident when she was 17. From this same accident she also has a few small scars on her collarbone and left forearm. Her only tattoo is a full moon with two tiny stars above the scar on her left side.
APPEARANCE::
While she isn’t the tallest lady around, she’s not the shortest either. However, she doesn’t care about her own height. She won’t wear heels to be taller and she won’t pretend to be shorter. She stands tall and proud, confident. She has the kind of face that works well with casual dress and formal without much changing. She can go without makeup and often does, though sometimes she will accent with colourful eyeliners and eye shadows. She doesn’t dislike makeup but her job doesn’t require looking dazzling or badass so she just generally doesn’t wear it during the week.
Her hair is brunette, more medium brown than dark. It falls to just above her bust and is mostly straight, though sometimes it’s a bit wavy. She generally wears it down during the day as that is easiest. Other popular hairstyles are: messy bun, professional bun, braids of all sorts, elaborate up-dos, etc.
For clothing, Kiva has no set style. When she’s working she often wears jeans, tees, sweaters, and other comfortable, functional clothing. Her job requires a lot of movement, so dresses and skirts are generally out of the question, and working with a preschooler means fancy items are a bad idea. However, Kiva loves dressing up. She often goes out at night (whether to the mall, library, a restaurant, or club) and usually uses this opportunity to wear the dresses, skirts, and other non-functional clothing she loves. She can go from hipster to post-apocalyptic style to dressing like a regal, well-to-do woman.
PERSONALITY::
Kiva is a very kind, caring person. This, however, does not extend to every single person on earth. She has a huge soft spot for children, especially those less than ten years old. She is energetic and fun-loving and can regularly be seen dancing and generally enjoying herself (out on the town at night, in her own company, or with children for the dancing). She’s not overly private but she does know what information to keep to herself. She’ll talk to anyone, but for how long depends on how interested she is or the other person behaves.
She is not interested in associating with people who can’t show respect for another person. She is intelligent and motivated, often going to great lengths to learn new things and pursue knowledge. It’s gotten her into trouble on a few occasions, as has her penchant for badly timed sarcasm. She is strong-willed, which digresses to excessively stubborn in situations where she is not getting her way for a reason she can’t seem to comprehend (but probably understands fully). For example, if she is told she can’t have access to files, she will convince the person to let her see the files, if only for a few minutes. And then if she’s told she’s wrong about something she will argue that she’s right even if she eventually realises she was wrong.
She loves to travel, to have fun, and to learn new things. She’s the kind of person who has a lot of acquaintances and friends, but few that she would call close friends or family.

SECRETS:: She hated her little sister for a good year before she realised that her brother didn’t love her any less. / When the Pluses and other supernaturals were revealed, she wasn’t surprised.

She has an interest in the Fae and in vampires, and has wondered for a while if the existence of these beings means that the gods of myth exist too.

HISTORY::
Caoimhe (Kiva) was born in January, 1991. Born only two years after her parents’ firstborn (Cecil), Caoimhe became very close with her older brother. By the time she was three, and he five, they were nearly inseparable. They did everything together and grew up to be very adventurous (and troublesome) children. The two young ones could often be seen climbing trees, crossing creeks on stones, and just plain exploring. It was rare that they got lost, but when they did they normally found their way home before the next day began.
She was four years old when her sister Caris was born, and though it wasn’t a huge age difference her relationship with her brother meant she had little time for the baby of the family. She never actively sought Caris out as a playmate but she was always more than kind to her and tried to include her in games and activities when she felt like it. The three siblings got along fairly well, though Caris was always a bit of an outsider, the third wheel to Kiva and Cecil’s bicycle. As they got older and moved into the teen years, Kiva spent more time with her sister while still maintaining her close relationship with her brother. The two girls found confidantes in one another and they shared a very sisterly relationship, whereas Kiva and Cecil were best friends before siblings.
(Nothing interesting happened in her childhood, but her father’s side of the family are all either deceased or estranged.) She and Cecil were very close to their maternal grandparents, who often told the children stories and had them over for sleepovers and the such.
When she was seventeen years old, Kiva was in a car wreck. She and three friends (including Cecil) were driving to London for a concert when their car was hit by another on the icy road and flipped. Cecil, in the passenger seat, was nearly untouched but the driver (his girlfriend, Meredith) was severely injured. Kiva’s door (driver’s side, back seat) was pushed inwards by the force of the other car hitting into it, resulting in the scar she now has above her left hip. Her left arm was also broken, and other than bruises and small cuts from glass and broken plastic she sustained no other wounds. Aderyn, the other backseat passenger, had a concussion.
Three years later, aged 20, Kiva was hired by a local family as a nanny for their newborn daughter. Six months into the job the family decided to move to Canada to be closer to the wife’s family. They moved to London, Ontario, offering to pay Kiva’s way if she would continue to be their child’s day-time caregiver. She agreed, leaving her family behind for what she deemed both an adventure and a smart career move. She still lives in London, Ontario (on her own, as she is not a live-in nanny), taking care of the couple’s now three year old daughter during the weekdays.
