Name: Jeanette Kerr
Age: 17
Appearance: Jeanette Kerr is pretty but not outstanding. She has brown hair and brown eyes. Being a pesent she doesn't exactly have a lot of opportunities for dressing up nicely. Her normal clothes consist of earthy brown skirt a white dirty shirt, and a brown corset that normally wasn't tied that tightly seeing as her clothes were made for her, by her. She makes a habit of carrying a dirk, a Scottish long knife, around everywhere she goes.
Family:
Father-- Ian Kerr
Mother-- Hazel Kerr
Brother-- Brandon Kerr
Background: Ian Kerr and Hazel Ashford met in an interesting way. They were at the market in a town in Scotland. Ian was 18 and helping his family sell their family's fortune of potatoes, bread, and wheat. Hazel was an orphan with no home who was struggling to survive as a thief. She carried with her a bag which she used to slip thing into. As she near the stall she slipped her hand over to grab a piece of bread as Ian was talking to another man. It was to her disadvantage that he was quick to react and was carrying a dirk. She found her arm pinned to the wood of the stall by a dirk. For once in her life she wasn't happy about her clothes being so hardy.
"Alright, ye caught me. An' now what are you going to do?" Hazel asked.
"Well. That depends if you'll being giving back that bread." Ian replied.
Hazel sighed and handed over the bread. "I don't 'ave anything to eat. Would you spare me a potato at least?"
"I'm sorry miss but I have to make my living myself." Ian replied.
Ian ended up giving her not only a potato but also a place to sleep for the night. Ian's family ended up hiring her. She would work and in return have food and shelter. What Ian's parents didn't expect was that Hazel and him would be married the next year.
Brandon was born in Scotland but when conflict arose between countries they had to flee. A year after they settled Jeanette was born.
Jeanette grew up as a farmer. Her mother, by the time she was three, had broken the habit of stealing what she needed to live off of. Brandon became apprenticed to a blacksmith when he was only eight leaving the farm to Jeanette and her parents. Ian, though Hazel didn't approve, instructed Jeanette to always carry a dirk. She only used it against people once when thieves tried to steal her families crops. She terrorized them away permanently, one with a scar on his left hand and one was a scar across the right side of his face.
