## History

Daughter, sister, wife and freedom fighter. Daughter of Leo Kirst and Mindra Kirst, Bailey was the eldest child in her family. Growing up she'd spend a lot of her time studying for the numerous tests thrown at her by the school, growing quite fond of the human anatomy studies. The days that weren't spent studying were either lazy days spent in bed or days partying, Bailey would spend a lot of her time going to parties in the small town she lived.

Middlesbrough, as the name implies, was situated in the middle of where two mountain ranges met. It was a small and quaint, far away from the capital of the country standing at a proud 190 metres above sea level, with about as many citizens. Despite the size of the town Bailey managed to go unnoticed by most people, having only a couple friends throughout her school life. She'd go to parties to sit around and get drunk rather than socialise with others and go home when she realised how hungover she'd be the day thereafter. Her parents would constantly get mad at her for coming home in a drunken state, claiming that their angel of a son would never do such things, being completely oblivious to the fact that Jacob was going to the same parties and more often.

On the day of her 19th birthday Bailey decided that it was time for her to move out, leaving the few friends she had behind. She set out for the capital to seek a higher level of education in the medical field, with hope in her heart that her grades would let her into the university in the capital. Said university had been self sustaining for the last couple years when the government had elected to stop giving it money, it wasn't the highest form of education in the world, but it was all they had. Bailey got to the capital and took whatever residence she could get her hands on, eventually ending up in the slums. It was an apartment building big enough to house one person and only that, this is the house she'd live in the coming two years. Bailey's education was cut short when a group of human rights activits started an uproar, quickly becoming a militia starting a full on war on the government.

It didn't take the militia more than four months to completely overthrow the government and instating themselves as the governing authority. A couple years later people realised that the long awaited revolution had brought them further into the dirt than they had already been, most of the schools were shut down and the amount of hospitals was cut in half. This was all to finance the security of the militia that had now gotten a name, AAF, standing for "Anderias Armed Forces."

Feeling lost after her education was cut, Bailey resorted to educating people in the slums about the medical knowledege she had. This didn't pay well, but it was enough to live on. She had kept in touch with her mother, having to write letters every day to keep her from worrying herself to death. One day she recieved a package in the post, as expected, it was from her mother. She took it into her apartment and opened it, inside was a silver blade decorated with a black and shiny handle and three lines of blood running from the handle to the tip. Bailey looked at the note that was attached, "It's a gift from your great grandfather, it has served me well. Add a line, it'll keep you safe." She looked at it with scepticism in her head.

Going to work the next day, she was told about the existence of an organisation by the name of Anderias last hope. Still infuriated by the fact that AAF had shut down all the schools, Bailey elected to seek out the ALH. It didn't take her a lot of time to find them, the closest hideout was a bar just on the outskirts of the slums. Due to her medical knowledge, she was quickly admitted to be a high value individual. In addition to this, she was moved to another city, somewhere she would be safe until she had learned to protect herself. Here she spent another couple years working as a medical resident, bored out of her mind and run into the ground with assignments she quickly grew tired of the clinic. And thus she took the first excuse to get out of there when Edward and Sam Harrington showed up.

## Appearance

Bailey was born in a hospital like most other people, being an average sized baby. Growing up she'd cut her blonde hair to shoulder length, mostly because she couldn't be bothered to deal with long hair. The blonde hair came from her mothers side of the family and the emerald green eyes came from her fathers. Bailey would dress in oversized clothes due to her insecurities about her body, this would be oversized T-shirts, hoodies, and sweaters. When colder weathers rolled around she was gifted a white coat by her mother that she would wear proudly. Later on in her life she gained her confidence back upon moving from her home, this led to her apparel changing to a black shirt with dark blue jeans most of the time, only wearing oversized clothes on her days off.

When the war on the AAF broke out, Bailey had to switch out her normal outfit for one that would forever be remembered by the people of Anderia as The Owl. This apparel was made from things Bailey could find in the ALH wardrobe with an owl mask being the main distinct feature. She'd dress in this mask with a hood covering the rest of her head, her body was covered with a cape that wrapped around her with a feather pattern on it; this detail combined with the mask is what gave her the nickname Owl. Eventually she fell victim to the specially manufactured bullets of the AAF, this cut her arm from the shoulder down and forced her to get a prosthetic in its place. The one she got looked like an armor piece made of brass with white painted details.

## Aliases

### Abigail Revery.

During the revolution, Bailey made up a whole new identity. This led to the creation of Abigail Revery, a bartender who knew nothing about the ALH, AAF or anything surrounding them. Abigail worked as a bartender in the same building as the ALH had their headquarters and tried her best to make the hideout remain secret. She wanted no one to know what her name was, mainly due to paranoia but also because she wanted to be able to leave the revolution behind her easily once it was over. Her fake identity was put to the test when Melina walked into the bar one day and ordered a drink, they got to talking and a couple weeks later called one another a good friend.

### The Owl (Mother Owl).

After finding a mask of an owl face and a white cape that covered her whole face, this was the figure that would forever be remembered as "The Owl." This outfit gave hope to the people in the streets and brought fear to the AAF. During this time, Bailey went by many names; these ranged from simply "The Owl" by the AAF to "Mother Owl" by the ALH and in some places "Winter Owl" due to operations during the winter. Mother Owl was made up when she recruited a group of people dressed in the same kind of apparel, she led this special operations squadron called "ALH's wings" and assumed the callsign "Mother Owl" in the process. Something that her friend Naomi found great amusement in once Bailey got pregnant with her first child.

## Abilities

Unlike a lot of people in her surroundings, Bailey is not a Demi-human. Instead of the powers of Demi-humans, Bailey uses her wits and cunning to accomplish her goals; something that quickly got her the job as an ALH tactician. Along with this cunning came a knife that had since far back been bound to her bloodline, this knife was made by an old Demi-human blacksmith and had magical properties. Said magical properties allowed the knife to return to its owner so long as it was somewhere in the vicinity, the bond between owner and knife would get stronger the more blood from the bloodline came into contact with it. At the end of Owl and Dragon, Bailey could control the knife like an extension of her body.
