## History

Kimberly was born in Caradon, a village in what is now in Athreya, though she was not born the woman she is today. Instead, she was born as a Nekomimi boy named Gabriel. Gabriel knew from his early teens that he was different. While the other boys would roughhouse and wrestle, he would choose to leave and go study books from the city library. While the other boys would go shirtless and flex their muscles, Gabriel with his frail form would choose to keep his nice well kept tunic on. Lastly, when it came time to get a job, most men moved to jobs like lumber yards, labor workers and such. Gabriel decided to work as an assistant in an alchemist shop.

Gabriel excelled at this job. His knowledge for science, math and even minor magic gave him an edge in the position. He also had a knack of knowing what ingredients went into potions and how they worked. One day, he asked to formally learn about alchemy as an apprentice of the shop owner, Nathanial. Nathanial agreed. Over the next 3 years to the age of 21, he moved into a property owned by Nathanial and learned a significant amount of the art of alchemy. He was quite happy...for the most part. Something was still eating at him. One day, he narrowed it down.

A maid from the local lord's estate came in and asked for some extra powerful cleaning supplies to be made. Gabriel would make the supplies on the spot, and talk to her as they worked. But he was fascinated by her black and white outfit, a long dress with an apron over it. "Do you find that outfit pleasing?" Gabriel asked her. The girl seemed confused, but agreed. "I do think that it looks rather nice," she said. Gabriel smiled and nodded. She thought he was a bit odd, but noticed he was not ogling her, but the dress itself. "My apprenticeship ends soon. I'm going to need a job.  Maybe I can pull off one of those cute outfits myself!" he said in a joking manner. But that joke was something that would eat at him for the next year to come.

He started to obsess over that line. "Pulling off that cute outfit". He always was never like other boys...maybe he was something different? He questioned his own identity  As a boy. As a man. As Gabriel. Eventually, he decided to start dressing more effeminate. Wearing some mild makeup. Gender neutral clothing...It was divine! That unease he felt in his youth was replaced with confidence. He even developed a medicine to help him appear more feminine over time  Gabriel was no more, and by year's end they took up the name Kimberly and insisted on people referring to her as a woman.

Kimberly by now has run out of savings and needs work. She turned to the one place she day dreamed of ever since that day. The lord's estate, to be hired as a maid. She hoped to make enough money to continue her new life as a woman. So she wrote a letter to the lord and asked for work. She was told to report to the main house. She entered the premises through the front door and made her way towards the large mansion. It was beautiful. Grand stonework, elegant details, and fine furniture all around. She meets the lord of the estate, Lord Donavan.

Lord Donavan was a middle-aged man who always wore a fine jacket and tunic. He had short brown hair with a handsome face and square jawline. "Ah Kimberly, my dear," said Lord Donavan. "You look wonderful. I understand you wish to become employed as one of my servants?". He admired that she was coming to him for work rather than being hired through an agency. Kimberly explained that if given a small room, she can produce tinctures and such as well as normal duties that a maid would complete.

"Very well. You will be getting a room in the servants wing. I'll have a uniform ready for you later on. For now, let's get you right to work!". Kimberly ended up becoming his personal assistant as well as a maid. This was amazing at first. She loved her job and Lord Donavan was very kind. Yet many months later, on a now unforgettable day she was approached by Lord Donavan in the bath house after a long day. She stood up and her male sex was revealed to him. Her eyes widened and she became speechless. He smiled and said "Well, I guess we know what to call you now.". Kimberly was mortified. She tried to gather her clothes and hide her body...She was beyond ashamed.

Thus began the mockery of Kimberly by Lord Donavan. Cruel jokes, referring to her as the wrong gender, even worse things were not uncommon.  Her heaven became hell, but she had nowhere to go.  Kimberly started to abuse some of the extracts that she could make becoming drunk or hallucinate with them. It was during a government mandated week of relaxation and peace did she meet a trader by the name of Asher. Asher explained there is this new kingdom founded by maids where workers are the focus, not taken advantage of!

This news thrilled her, she gathered the coin for passage to this kingdom, Al-Marila. She registers with the Cleaners & Keepers Union, and finds a good job with fair benefits under the union. She loved her new home immensely as time went by, and decided to enlist in the Partisans as an alchemist to protect it. However, during basic training she was exposed to firearms personally for the first time by a goblin mercenary . She had an amazing knack for them, and combined with her alchemical skill, the results were quite literally explosive. During this time she registered as an Adventurer and completed missions on the rare times she could.

As her skills grew and she became stronger she began to learn more about herself. How brave she can be. How well defined her alchemical skills are. She made fast friends with the soldiers, becoming liked for her charm and valor. After many successes in military operations, she even met Edith Faolan, Co Ruler of Al-Marlia at the time.. Her skill in combat and honest work effort impressed Edith. Thus, Kimberly was offered to become an elite member of the honor guard.

Over time, Kimberly's skill and renown grew, and when it came time for the election of the next Consul of the Hammer, Kimberly put her name into the ballot. With the campaign slogan "Maid Better, Together!" and solid advice from Fae Faolan, the Consul of the Broom, Kimberly Mercer became the next Consul of the Hammer. She serves in this position with all her heart, happy to be the commander of the Military that made her the woman she is today.

## Appearance

Kimberly is a short, mature Nekomimi. She normally wears simple dresses. One of them is a longer one with sleeves (Pictured) It is quite clear she is a frail women. Holding almost no muscle to her name, her beanstalk like arms are slightly longer then expected. Kimberly (thanks to alchemical treatment) has a small perky breasts, and a slim stomach with feminine hips.

Her main pride and joy is her long hair. Growing since her gender awaking, her long hair is rarely tied up, always hanging to her lower back. She says she will only cut it "When (she) cant reach the bottom with her hands"

## Weapons of Choice

Bellow is Kimberly's weapons of choice, usually found in the aprons of her maid outfits.

Duster, a +2 Pistol, and one of Kimberly's first guns. Usually her Bonded Pistol despite its age.Clean House, a +1 Training Dragon Pistol used to blow groups of enemies away with Sizzling Shot.Immaculate, a powerful +1 Holy Devil Bane Revolver she commissioned from the Helios Imperium, solely to smite down the Immolator Devil plaguing her kingdom.
## Personality

Nervous to a fault, Kimberly is known for her stutter. This nervousness fades at times, particularly when holding her pistols, wearing a calming perfume, or among good friends. She is intelligent, kind, and loving, a popular figure socially in addition to being favored politically. But no woman is without faults. Kimberly is prone to episodes of low self control and overindulgence. In addition, she tends to tunnel focus on what she wants. If she wants something, she everything in her power to obtain it. From her political position to her love life, Kimberly tends to pursue things with eagerness some would call obsession.

## Friends

Fae Faolan - A respected Co-Consul, despite having less then common social encounters, Kimberly considers Fae one on her dearest friends. Perhaps this is due to Fae being the founder and president of the Cleaners & Keepers Union, the driving force of Al-Marila, and Kimberly's immense love of her country. Kimberly puts Miss Faolan on a pedestal, and will happily rush to her aid should trouble arise.

Ulysses Brokenrock-Hawall -A close friend of Kimberly, Ulysses and Kimberly have been known to meet semi often, just to get away from all the politics and other stresses. He has been there for her many a time, and she see's the man as a role model, much like Fae. Kimberly's respect for the man is immense, and while she may be nervous now, she feels if anyone can help her feel confident, that be him!

Mimi Koneko - [[to be filled in post RP]]

## Foes

Lord Douglas Donavan - A powerful man located in Caradon, a village in Atherya. Her first employer, Lord Donavan created much trauma for the young Nekomimi.
