History:

Kalima Raustald was born into a noble family in the nation of Taldor, the respected Raustald family who had some blood links to the Brevoy aristocracy as well. Still in her lineage the family had a portion of the divine, due to a love affair several generations ago between a distant ancestor on her mother's side and a plane walking Lillend who was masquerading as a human and was moonlighting as a bard for the noble court. The Raustald Family nevertheless had a magical tradition, seeing Wizardry and Sorcery as means and tools to power so such was acceptable in the circles.

Kalima was born the youngest daughter of her family and to a privileged lifestyle. She was the only one of her generation to develop Sorcery thus making her a valuable commodity in the noble games between various households. She was raised with a silver spoon, provided a good education and groomed to one day be a prize to be married off to another noble family in a political marriage. As Kalima got older though, she developed a streak of independence and wanted a life chosen on her own rather than by someone else. She would eventually be promised as a bride to the son of the Garrett Family, another noble house in order to make a political deal. However Kalima after meeting her promised husband despised the man for his poor personality and attractiveness. Thus she decided to leave her noble family behind and find somewhere that would allow her to make her own way in the world, without her family dictating how to live. Thus before the marriage, she gathered some things and fled off in the night and across the border of Taldor.

Life was hard on her own and she had to learn to adapt quickly while she sought somewhere to belong. She then learned about the land grabs in the Stolen Lands and saw potential to use her skills as a noble-lady to claim some land for herself and become a landholder in her own right. Thus she gathered her things and traveled off to the Stolen Lands to make her fortune and way in the world.

How do you imagine she came to Brevoy after fleeing Taldor? There's quite a distance.

Kalima came to Brevoy for two reasons. The first is because she needed to get a very good distance from Taldor. Likey with her disappearance, there will be people sent out to search for her so she decided she needed to get far away from her homeland and be out of their jurisdiction in order to get her independence from her family and avoid being taken back and forced into a marrage. The second is that she does have some blood link to the Brevoy nobility, more specifically House Lodovka.

Does she know anyone on Brevoy or does she have any reasons to expect to be chosen for the Reclamation?

Kalima is blood linked to the house of Lodovka, although her claim to power is pretty weak considering that the political marriage was between a male of the Ranstald family and a lesser daughter of the Lodovka family. This was an old political marriage as the Ranstald family wanted access to the sea trade with Brevoy and thus needed a deal with house Lodovka in order to secure a trade contract. Even now the Ranstald family has some dealing with Brevoy due to the old treaty and she has seen and met a few emissaries house Lodovka in her time. Thus she knows a few people among the house and thus some connections. As for why she believes she will be chosen for the Relclamation, is that despite her weak claim, she actually has a claim to Nobility unlike many other profiteers who are mere "Peasants" wishing to elevate their station. She sees this as an opportunity to make her own way in the world.

Is she a bit haughty and arrogant like many nobles? What's your plan for her personality?

Oh yes! She is in indeed haughty, overconfident and somewhat arrogant on her stature. After all she lived under a silver spoon for most of her life and somewhat naive on how the world really works. Still she's polite and political and is willing to put on a facade of respect to others so long as they in turn are polite. She is Chaotic Good, so while having an independent streak about her, she does have a moral compass to help others. Of course she has little respect for ruffians, criminals and ner-do-wells and expect her to use derogatory terms quite often when referring to them.
