She sports whatever color is tickling her fancy for the day or the occasion. Beading, heavy embroidery, feathers are usually a must. The bigger the hat the better. Jewelry is large and never understated. Her hair remains up in pins at the back of her head and her make up is always shaded to fit her wardrobe and set off her eyes.

[b][color=f7976a]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Widow [b][color=f7976a]Personality:[/color][/b] Lady Kirkpatrick is as stuffy and formal as they come. Nah, that is a total lie. Yes, her nose is in the air and she looks down it frequently towards others she is anything but your usual Lady of the House. She has a quick wit and a silver tongue, knowing just when to speak her mind. Hell she knows when not to but that isn't going to stop her. She will say what she wants to say when she wants to say it and how she wants to say it. The woman is shrewd as well, always plotting and scheming. Trying to get her clan back together, to give them a seat again, to retain their castle once again. Her family ties are strong, even with the expatriate side of the family. Blood before all, the clan will survive. On these shores or another yet as long as she lives nothing will stop her from having her families rights in the courts of England properly restored.

The family name itself didn't appear on record though until 12th century when Ivone De Kirkpatrick witnessed a charter of the Clan Bruce; the lands themselves were confirmed to the Kirkpatricks by Alexander II of Scotland, the castle there being built built sometime before that. The Kirkpatricks were alongside Robert the Bruce when he killed John Comyn (otherwise known as Cumming) during the Wars of Scottish Independence. For their service during the wars they were granted the lands of Redburgh from the Campbells, and Caerlaverock Castle and Dalswinton Castle from the English. They were later granted Baronies of Closeburn and Redburg from the Duke of Albany in 1409. They continued to gain lands and castles for some time through the 17th century. Yet time takes it toll on all clans, especially when title ceases to mean anything in the Lowlands. Eventually the Kirkpatrick's lost most of their money - William Kirkpatrick leaving for the new world and eventually marrying a dutch woman in Spain. His sister, Sally Ann, however stayed behind even though she kept in contact with her expatriate brother. The castle in Closeburn was sold in 1783 and the remaining Kirkpatricks of noble birth were forced out. Where as they now had money, they no longer had their holdings. [b][color=f7976a]Your personal life:[/color][/b] Miss Sally was born in her families castle, the youngest of three and only daughter. She grew up well enough but times were tough. Though while they held title and lands they were poor. Sally had wished to train in Rome, joining the Church and their crusade but funding prohibited it. Thus while there was some sense of standing, it was not in the eyes of the Crown Of England. Refusing to live untrained she traveled to Ireland and made her way there during her training. During this time she had to resort to less than noble methods to survive. Petty theft, forging documents, and distilling spirits became the backbone of her survival tactics, only second to her quick wit and an ability to intimidate people enough to get what she wanted. When she returned home to Scotland, things changed. Her home and birth place was sold. This nearly stripped them of their holdings and power but it gave the family an unprecedented amount of capital in which to live off of for generations to come. This did not sit well with most any of the Kirkpatricks. Her brother William expatriated to the United Stated, her other brother James died from shame. While James had children to carry on the mantle of the name, they did not have the savvy or the shrewd nature to regain any power for the family. Sally on the other hand did and being the Matriarch now of the family she took the mantle and ran with it. Marriage was out of the question for herself, she had too much work to do and wasn't about to wait on a husbands permission to do anything. Money was no object now, she would do what needed to be done to restore not only her families birth right but that of many Lowland Clans. Working behind the scenes to not only arrange powerful marriages for her nieces and nephews in Scotland, combining houses, but outside of the country as well. This lead to some very advantageous pairings, including marriage of nieces to highly titled men in Spain and the Netherlands. She also funded many an allied houses children for real training against the Soulless. Over the years she has regained much of her families holdings, helped them take a dramatic rise in power not only in Scotland but in the eyes of the Crown of England. (Whom she detests.) Currently she is residing in Kirkpatrick Manor playing her cards and working on re-acquiring her birth place, while keeping a tight hold on what her family does. For her, life is simple - Clan, Country, God. Everything else is just simply a problem that needs to be solved, so she will solve it and move on to the next. [b][color=f7976a]What you want for your life:[/color][/b] Forget the Soulless, having children, or marrying again. There is but one thing that consumes Lady Kirkpatrick and that is re-establishing her clans power in Scotland. The highlanders have power, the lowlanders should as well. Ever since her families castle was sold she has spent every waking moment working towards this goal and while she has gained some power in her own right and for her family outside of Scotland in the eyes of the English Court she still has work to do. Hopefully the younger generation don't fuck it up.

She has financed him in the past but since the arranged marriages of her nieces was so successful, they now pay her. Some would call it tribute, others would say it is a debt being repaid. [hr] [center][color=ed145b]❦[/color] [b][color=f7976a]James Kirkpatrick[/color][/b] [color=ed145b]❦[/color] [i]"Poor bastard, leaving me with these hooligans"[/i][/center] Sally and James were as thick as thieves when they were young but when she returned from Ireland that fell apart. Him selling the castle, her home, nearly ruined the family even if it gave them an ungodly sum of money. She didn't realize how badly it affected him until he died some time later from shame. She has taken his children and their children under her wing. She is the matriarch now and family comes first. [hr] [center][color=ed145b]❦[/color] [b][color=f7976a]Thomas Kirkpatrick[/color][/b] [color=ed145b]❦[/color] [i]"Did the Kirkpatrick wit die with his father?"[/i][/center] A blithering idiot in Sallys mind and the worst representation of a Kirkpatrick in history but he is family and all they have currently in a seat of true power in the eyes of the Crown of England. Thankfully Sally knows how to pull his strings. She is the puppet master and he is too empty between the ears to know what is what. [hr] [center][color=ed145b]❦[/color] [b][color=f7976a]Charles Kirkpatrick[/color][/b] [color=ed145b]❦[/color] [i]"Gangling little thing"[/i][/center] Charles is still a wee lad and in that awkward stage. Sally does what she can to ensure that he is well taken care of, educated and trained. She is shipping him off to Japan soon enough to begin his studies against the Soulless. She will miss having him underfoot. [hr] [center][color=ed145b]❦[/color] [b][color=c0c0c0]Mary Hale[/color][/b] [color=ed145b]❦[/color] [i]"Perhaps she is what I would have been if things had been different."[/i][/center] While not true birth family, Sally looks at Mary as a niece. The Hales and the Kirkpatricks are neighboring Clans along the border of England, their interactions with each other going back centuries. And while they are not allies, they have never feuded. When word came to Scotland of a Hale arriving at the doors of the Vatican, Sally sought out the child. On seeing her she saw a reflection of herself in a time long forgotten. At this point Sally took on the financial responsibility of Mary, funding her training and anything else she might need that the church could not provide. While the two have only seen each other a handful of times since their first meeting they do correspond regularly. At this point, Mary is family and a Kirkpatrick by honor if not by birth.
