BACKSTORY
Childhood: Katelyn was raised in a fairly well-off family, born to an elf mother and a human father. Her father died in an outbreak when Katelyn was eight, and she caught the illness as she saw her father on his deathbed. Luckily, the doctors caught it early, and merely had to remove the finger it was fast infecting. In her grief for her father, she started spending extended periods of time away from home, leaving in the early morning and not returning until late the same night.
Early Teens: Katelyn built up an excellent sense of direction from her daily adventures, building up maps in her head. She learned how the other half lived, how they scrounged endlessly for their next meal, and felt horrible for them, so decided to help them out however she could. Every day, she took a small pouch of coin with her to spread among the beggars and the poor, to help them buy a meal. Then she sat and ate with them, getting to know each of them and becoming good friends with many.
Late Teens: As she got older, Katelyn decided she didn't want to just know her way around every street in Caesceum; she wanted to explore the world below. She began to visit the libraries around the city in her spare time, burying herself in tomes hundreds of years old, books on the history of their world, on the gods that had once ruled it, on how little of its surface had been explored. This only furthered her desire to visit the ground and become a famed explorer.
Adulthood: Katelyn's mother was all for marrying her off to a wealthy suitor, to further their bloodline, but Katelyn would have none of it. Despite endless urges that an explorer was not an appropriately feminine path to take through life, Katelyn remained patient and determined for an opportunity to prove herself and make her name known.
