short bio:

Kamielle's great grandparents emigrated to one of the remotest of the Philippine Islands from Australia. Kamielle's family had farmed and fished along the coast on one of the Northern-most islands until the American-Philippine war spilled into their home. Many families lost their homes and were forced into the sea, banding together to form fleets of refugees, becoming self-sufficient. Trusting no one but themselves; touching land only to trade- they became nomadic; growing more distant from those living on the islands. These ocean villages became known as Blue-Towns. Blue-Town boats have a tendency to arrive quickly and leave even quicker when they want to. Quite a lot of suspect electronics lurking around Island homes fell of the back of a Blue Boat. Local officials are often wary when the floating shanties arrive to stock up; as they are often sympathetic to other 'Blues', often spiriting away friends having trouble with the law and hiding in the Ocean and the dozens of small islands close to the Archipelago.

Kamielle was born at sea; in one of the larger fleets roaming the edge of the north pacific. Her home is The Swithland, a larger fishing vessel run by her mother and uncle, living with her three cousins and older sister. Since she was old enough to see over the bow, Kamille has been working the family business: fishing and boats, and all things fish and boat related.

Kamielle and Ocean go well together; she's a strong swimmer, knows her way round boats and anything that lives in the sea. like all the other 'Blues'; she's very family orientated. Everyone in a Blue-Town looks after their own; children of one boat are children of all boats and are never left alone no matter where they are.

But Kamielle finds the infrequent trips to shore fascinating, and whenever The Swithland is close to port, she'll try and find an excuse to go and have a look. So when a friend of her uncle's asks her to run a package to a house in the town- she's more than happy to go. Of course she was less than thrilled when she was mistaken for a local student, kidnapped and shoved onto a bus to compete in DABR. Not what she had in mind.


personal items:
Kamielle wasn't expecting to be going very far for very long.
> pen knife - no one who lives and and works on a boat goes anywhere without one
> bit of string - same reason as above
> tube of smarties - you don't often find them round Kamielle's neck of the woods, she wouldn't leave them alone on The Swithland for her cousins to prey on
> some loose coins she found in her sister's jacket
> the package she was supposed to deliver. smallish, squarish with rounded edges, double wrapped in PO's infamous brown paper and tied down with string. handwritten on the top in shaky biro:
John Kanares - we al equall now dog.

a break down of the stat card:

brawn: while Kamielle lives a physical life hauling nets, repairing sails and engines and is tall for her age; she is thin and light boned, without much weight behind her.

style: most blue-Town kids learn to handle themselves early on- not every town they dock at is 100% friendly and shore kids don't like Blue kids. Kamielle hasn't had any formal combat training, but has grown up learning the finer points of knife handling and is quick with balance only sea-legs can offer.

brains: Kamielle is a voracious reader, and is intuitive with a good head for logic; though due to their traveller lifestyle- most people in Blue-Towns have no formal schooling- making do with Google, Wikipedia and the like.

wits: many Blue-Town folk have had to talk their way out of a tricky situation, often concerning money or lack thereof. It is a given that anyone off a Blue-Boat would be sly and have a gilded tongue.

will: Kamielle, like everyone else in her extended family is an independent spirit, Blue-Folk live off the grid and so have to do without that infrastructure and support, going against the grain is part and parcel of being free.

Sex drive: Kamielle has just discovered boys, and while there is a good chance of having her head turned by a good looking boy on shore- the intense, physical and unpredictable nature of their lives doesn't leave much room for young teens to moon over boys. there's too much work to do. Besides she still shares a berth with her cousins. And her mum would go spare.
