king without a crown

• Kerria is the vessel to the Once and Future King, Arthur Pendragon
• Born in Tokyo, Japan. Although this was her birthplace, Kerria is half Japanese half English on her father's side. She only came to Paris when her father dragged her their after the divorce of her parents when she was eight years old.
• She has been aware of King Arthur since she was four, however she only treated him as an imaginary friend. It was only when she moved to Paris that she figured out that he was an actual spirit rather than something her imagination had created. This was how she discovered she was a vessel with some prodding from Arthur.
• Despite this discovery she continued to be close with Arthur and often sought after his advice. Although she does get annoyed sometimes about the 'Knight's Code' and she goes out of her way to do the opposite whenever he brings it up as long as it doesn't go against her own morals.
• After moving, Kerria continued to train in martial arts (which her mother started her with) although it often meant relying on the internet rather than going to a physical dojo. She also picked up fencing at Arthur's insistence.
• During her school years she wasn't treated well, instead preferring to keep to herself. People often called her names and labeled her a problem child but Kerria never paid much attention to any of them. She never did all that well in the education system (usually getting scolded by her father) but still managed to pass each year.
• Her only friend during this time was one she met at the start of high school who also doubled up as her crush. They were friends up until the end of the second year, where this person moved away. The last time they saw each other, her friend gave Kerria a handmade bracelet that she continues to wear.
• For her graduation prom, she was a tuxedo and didn't go with a date. Instead she humored anyone (guys and girls alike) who approached her with a dance.
• Her father was absent for most of his life, instead focusing on his business. So Kerria learned to take care of herself from cooking to routines. For that reason she moved out as soon as possible to get a place of her own. As soon as she graduated she pursued a career as a bodyguard, landing a gig as a bouncer for a nightclub.
• She hates being looked down upon for being a girl and has beaten up coworkers (and lost jobs) for it.
• Despite not always having enough money, she keeps up both fencing and martial arts.
