DESCRIPTION
Sharp eyes can see past Kitty's loose coveralls, grease-smudged hands and face, and the baseball cap which has seen better days reading, in bad hand-embroidery, “Hawke Airways”, to the woman beneath. They'll still likely be given pause, if their intent is to “get to know her better” because the medium-sized woman beneath is still hard, self-confident, and while not exactly a beauty queen, has a face, peering out from beneath her bob-cut hair, that won't easily be forgotten. It's probably those crystalline eyes, incongruously blue, in stark contrast to the dirty (both literally and figuratively) blonde hair.
HABITS
- Is visibly uncomfortable in “proper” clothes.
- Never without a tool kit within a minute's run of her location.
- Everything she talks about uses aviation metaphor.
STYLES
- Very colloquial (Northern Canadian) speech.
CODE
- Heroic/Chivalric (albeit under a performative layer of unwillingness)
MOTIVATIONS/GOALS
- Keeping her father's air service (Hawke Airways) alive while doing the right thing.
BACKGROUND
Jonah Hawke (“Jove” to his friends) was there in the dunes when the Wright Brothers first flew. He spent his life on this new form of travel, making and piloting ever more sophisticated aircraft until finally he built the Aetos Dios (though most just call it “The Eagle”), the plane he poured everything he'd learned about aircraft and then some into, using it to breach open the arctic wastelands of the Canadian far north, introducing civilization and trade to some of the worst the world has to offer.
When he vanished, presumed dead in, ironically, a civil aviation crash (that should teach him to fly anything but Hawke Airways!), Kitty inherited the Eagle, the Airways, and her father's gritty determination to keep the plane flying, the airline afloat, and the technology of flight ahead of the curve.
And along the way if she sorts out a few crimes and ends a few criminals, that's a bonus.
Of course being the good gal loses her a lot of income. Hawke Airways is expensive to run and Kitty is always barely a step ahead of the bills. This makes her take on risky missions that less crazy, less desperate (and, to be fair to her, less skilled) pilots would flee from in panic.
