Skills and Abilities
Leadership - As the captain of The Pirates of Saunders, she has an inept ability to command her crew at a moment's notice. She negotiates for the safety of her crew and her ship, and for the wealth they wish to plunder.
Thievery - Having been without money for most of her life, she learned the trade of pickpocketing and petty theft quickly. She knows how to snatch a few coins from the wealthy merchants, and how to snatch some food from the market without making a fuss, a noise, or people noticing her.
Survival - Having lived on the streets in her childhood, she is adaptable to all sorts of environments, being able to live in any filthy corner of a large city. She would do anything for money or food. Working menial labor, odd jobs, stealing, scavenging the garbage pits, almost anything barring begging or prostitution. When piracy work dries up, she knows how to get by
Intimidation - As a pirate, she has to be intimidating to merchants and sailors in order to get the best deal for their efforts. She uses her demeanor and her sword to scare the merchants off of their money. She hates killing, but she would kill anyone if necessary, for the safety of her crew, or herself.
Navigation - Being a seafarer since stowing away, she has a great sense of navigation on the high seas. Knowing where each port is located and where to find the best places to plunder. All she needs is the sun and the stars in the skies to tell her where she is.
Escape Artist - She had a few run-ins with the law and was thrown in the dungeon several times, but no matter what happens to her, she knows how to escape. Not just the cold walls of a prison, but any sticky situation she might find herself in.
Swordsmanship - She is skilled with the sword, and keeps one near her person at all times. From time to time, she would spar with her crew-mates or if needed, strangers at local taverns for money. She does not kill but can pinpoint where she needs to win a battle or to maim people without killing them.

Personality
Like many of the famed Pirates of Saunders, Kelly is well known for her playful and slightly abrasive personality, which often appears boastful and rude, especially to merchants they have plundered. To her fellow pirates and theives though, she is pretty friendly and well-intentioned. She has a strong sense of fair game and camaraderie, sharing in the wealth of their plundering and thieving with her gang of fellow pirates, and often the people, especially orphans of the Areck slums. Even when other pirates beat her to the treasures, even when the thieving does not pay, even when she gets captured by authorities, she does not get upset or downhearted. She knows how to escape every time, and she does this for the love of freedom on the seas, and the love of her crew and ship.
Biography & Lore
Kelly might have been born to a rich family in Oban, or perhaps a well-to-do merchant family, she doesn’t know and doesn’t seem to care. Her parents died when she was pretty young leaving her orphaned. With no one to look after her, and with the family business was sold to another family, she found herself in the slums of Oban living as a street urchin. She survived and adapted quickly on the streets, doing odd jobs, sleeping under bridges, and stealing from market stalls. This got her into a lot of trouble with local authorities, but she manages to escape their clutches every time.
Sometime later, she stowed away on a pirate vessel while she was running from the guards. The captan of the vessel found her and made her work as a cabin girl. She learned from the captain the tricks of the pirate trade. He instilled in her the ethics of a good pirate, a thief for the people, a proud and honorable sailor who cares for their crew, and an intimidating captain who can quickly think at a moments notice. When times got hard, the captain left her in the slums of Areck, around the city of Alliria. She began her own gang of pirates, many young ladies of her age around the slums, and stole a carrack from a local merchant and nicknamed her the Saunders.
They continue to roam around the Allirian Strait and the Gulf of Liad, plundering merchants ships and pillaging the wealthy residents of different towns and cities. Sharing the wealth of their plundering with the poor and downtrodden. They spend their times on shore at their homes in the slums of Areck, or on board their ship.
