Kaya

Kaya was thrown aback at first. "S-sorry.. I'm used to calling my grandma, nana, and I just wasn't really expecting an elder of all people to be playing this game. Not that I'm against it or anything..." Her voice trailed off. Her head slumped down facing the ground. That was somewhat an embarrassing moment and she had no clue how to go from there. Then she finally looked up and glance to the direction the old lady pointed to. "Old man?" She thought as she tried to pinpoint exactly who she was talking about. At first Kaya was confused, then she became somewhat dumbfounded. "Did she mean the NPC?" She thought. Kaya knew of the old man she was talking about already. She had heard about him from other players because of the fact that he's one of the people who gives out beginner quests. Armed with that knowledge, Kaya turned to face the elder woman. "Um... Nana, do you mean that NPC over there? He's actually an NPC that gives a beginner quest for low levels like us. If you want, I could help you do the quest with you. I haven't done that quest yet myself." One arm hanging lose, while the other grasps the hanging one by the elbow. Her mouth somewhat raised and her eyes widened. For a second, she had managed to pull off the puppy stare. Kaya had hoped that she would join her on the quest. Elderly or not, this was a death game, and they need to survive.

Wandering the first floors' Starting City, Kaya happen to come by fairly aged lady sitting on a bench just a few feet away. Without even thinking, she began laughing out loud. It was actually ridiculous just how much she laughed. At first, she was bent over with her hand on her stomach as if trying to hold in the laughing. Eventually, she swung her head back, from the laughter and just gave into the moment. So much so that she ended up falling backwards right to her back. "Of all the things to find in SOA, an old lady." She thought as she kept a warm smile on her face. As her glee slowly dissipated, she brings herself up to her feet. "Off all the things to find, what are you doing here, nana?" Oddly enough, Kaya felt comfortable with the woman. Kaya had no relation to the elder woman, but she's always learned to respect her elder.

OOC: Sorry, I'm doing other things too while doing this. so yeah. :P

Wandering the fields of the 1st floor, we find Kaya nervously grasping on her scythe as she looked for materials to cook with. This would be easier with others, but she hasn't found anyone to party up with her for this little task of hers. After 5 minutes of looking, she finally finds a boar. A simple boar, for starting players to grind on and kill. It didn't look much to most people other than that, but to Kaya, it's was food ingredients. Although a common item, the boar's meat is great for barbecuing. Grasping her scythe tighter, she begins to charge forward without any disregard for her safety. It was killed or be killed. She wasn't going out by a wild boar so she has to take it down.

"Kill of be killed," Kaya kept telling herself. This was the first time she's fighting a lone. It was thrilling and exhilarating. With a grin on her face she swings her large basic scythe. "AAAHHHHH!!" She yells as the blade of the scythe cuts deep into boar. As she stops herself behind the boar, the beast quickly turns around and charges at the redhead. Unfortunately for him, Kaya was way too nimble for the poor creature.

WHAM! I loud thud echoed through the tavern as Kaya's face once again finds itself kissing the floor. "Ow." She says as she frailly helps herself up on her bum. "That hurts." She rubbed her face as if it would help alleviate the pain. Not one person noticed oven cared about her misfortune, this tavern's something. As she slowly helps herself up on her feet finally from the floor, she dusts herself before looking around the room for anyone she might know. I mean, she really doesn't know many people here... if not... anyone in the god forsaken death game. There didn't seem to be that many people here at all. Which is perfect. Kaya's really bad at meeting new people. Before she takes one more step, she raises both of her hands and slaps herself on the cheek. "Okay, I need to focus." She told herself. Kaya's been trying to find something to do. She had hoped to find a quest here in the tavern since that's where they're normally found... in movies and games. Face slapped and body brimming with confidence, she walks up the barkeep. "Ello there." She says as she waves her hand in the air for a quick hi and a nervous smile plastered on her face. "Got any jobs available?" 

The Barkeep eyed for intensely. "Geez, where are all these NPCs mad?" She thought as she compared this NPC to the NPC that taught her how to cook. "Yea sure. Go collect some ingredients for me out on the fields. I'll pay ya for whatever ya find." "Again with these collecting quests?! ugh... fine... I guess I don't have much of a choice." She thought as she reluctantly accepted the quest. Filled with disappointment, she began making her way towards the door.

Stepping out of the portal for the first time, ah warm light pressed against her face. This was her first time being up so high on this floor. She never knew there could've been one that looked like this. So warm and inviting. It was a tropical paradise. Of course, there was no real point for Kaya to be even up here except for the fact that she saw an invite to beach party. It looked pretty sketchy since why openly invite everyone to a beach party up in the higher floors? This was a death game, so why? As she stepped down the steps, Kaya began scouring her inventory. She's only just started so she doesn't have much, there has to be a bikini or two here. After some quick scrolling. she finds one cute white two piece. It looked really small and revealing too might I add, but this was all she had. "Awe poop,  not really my taste. Oh well... It'll do for now I guess. Time to get the ladies." She says to herself and she began marching down to beach. As she got closer, she quickly spots cute girls all over. Excited, she runs up to the party... only to fall flat on her face right when she reaches the party. "Ow."

Wandering the forest of the 6th floor, Kaya trudged through the thicket with her basic two handed scythe in hand. She has no clue how she got here nor does she know how to get out. Keeping her head on a swivel, eyes always on the lookout, and knees shaking she tried to find a path or at least the town with the portal is at. "Damnit... Why do I always find myself in this situation." She thought as pushed on through. After a few more steps and just past a few trees, she spots a violet haired woman who seemed to be quiet comfortable. Not only did she seem strong, she was also pretty cute. Excitement surging through the red head, she rushed out of the bush. "Oh my god! Someone! Finally!" As she ran towards the player to talk to her, she trips and falls flat on her face. "Ow."

"F-florida and Australia huh? I-I've been there before. I'm... Kaya." Her voice trailed off as she closed herself up more. This was too much attention. Even just two people. "If only there was another girl here, it'd make things easier." she thought as she tries letting out a welcoming smile. It seemed completely fake, but that's mostly because she's freaking out inside. She's VERY shy and she really needed more friends and allies in this game. "I'm from England." she says as she facepalms herself internally. She clenches her fist as she grew a little angry at herself.  "They knew that already. Why she said that still was just plain stupid. Ugh.. maybe these guys can be good allies," she thought as tries to keep eye contact with the two. "So... what are you guys talking about? I heard something about a boulder quest? I need more experience in this game... mind if I join?" Her voice still felt frail, but there was some more confidence in it before.

OOC: @Pinball said I could join.

Somehow, Kaya found herself on the 2nd floor. She's only just begun this death game that was SAO and she's already on the 2nd floor.... and she's still level 1. As she wandered the streets of Urbus, she happened to notice two players conversing. Most the most part, they weren't really talking about anything interesting except for one particular thing. "Chap." An English word not commonly used elsewhere. Intrigue by the possibility that this person could be an Englishman just like her.

She slowly trudged towards the two. He head looking down and away from them. She was shy. she's never met these people before, but if she wanted to survive, she has to expand her network. "H-hi... if you don't mind me asking... Are you English?" Her English accent spewed out of her mouth heavily. There was no hiding that she's a foreigner in Japan, so better to accept it.

Letting a sigh, Kaya rubbed her stomach as she stared down to the ground. It's only been a few hours since Kayaba made his announcement and now she's feels the hunger surge through her. Of course the game didn't leave her completely empty handed, but she didn't want bread and water. She wanted something with substance. Something with meaning and flavor. Something... As Kaya grew lost in thought, her nostrils catches a whiff of something in the air. "What is that?" She thought as her mouth began to salivate. Her thoughts grew wild on what it could be. "Roast beef? Ribs? No... Thit Heo Nuong Xa? Impossible, in this game?! There's no way there could be vietnamese bbq here." As she crept closer to the  source of the smell, she quickly learned where it came from. A small restaurant who's barbecuing some pork just on the side in front of it's customers. Her mouth salivated some more at thought of just eating some of that. "Oh god... that smells so good, I want some!" She thought as she crept ever closer. Once she reaches the chef who was busy cooking, she reaches her hands out to tap him on his shoulders. "E-excuse me, could I have some of that?" Her voice was feeble. She wasn't comfortable with this. This was awkward and embarrassing, but she's desperate.

The chef turned our quickly. A scowl was plastered on face. His eyes glaring at Kaya. "That'll be 10 Col." He says as he continued measuring the frail looking girl. Kaya's already broken confidence broke some more as the NPC mentioned money. The one thing she doesn't have right now. She's spent most of her day just wandering town and enjoying the view. "I-I don't have any money. Is there anything I could do? I-I'm starving..." The chef's eyes measured her some more. Within moments, he let's out, "Here. You can have this for now, but in return I want you to go out find some ingredients." 

Without anymore hesitation, Kaya accepted. Her teeth quickly sunk into the delicious BBQ that the chef just freshly made. She attacked the slab of meat as if she was a beast who hasn't eaten in days. This was the best thing she's eaten in a long time, and who would've guess it came from inside a game.

History

Foreign to the country of Japan, Kaya took her first steps out the door. She had everything she wanted in her life, but traveling to Japan wasn't one of her wants. In fact, the only reason she's even here is for a new game coming out. One that's going to define a new generation of gaming, Sword Art Online. She of course didn't come here alone. Her father had business here in Japan so this was a good opportunity to come along and grab herself an early copy before it released into the world. You see, her father is the founder and CEO of Aldrin Corp, a gaming company based in England. Her father was here to see the release of SAO cause he knew that if his company ever wanted to survive, he'll need to join the trend and go into virtual reality gaming.

That said, it's been a week since Kaya and her father arrived. Since then, she's explored Tokyo, enjoying all its splendors, but nothing excited her more than finally getting her hands on the game. She's been waiting for months for that game to release. She even tried getting into the beta, but her father flat out said now. It'd looking embarrassing to him if he tried negotiating to try to get her in the beta. But today is the day she'll finally get her hands on it.

As she slowly peeled off the wrapping on the box, a gleeful face was plastered on her face. Her mouth slightly salivating already as she read through the manual. Without anymore hesitation, she quickly got setup. "Link Start," She says as the world around warped into the game.

Personality

Growing up as a single child in a wealthy family, Kaya learned to be strong willed , but pretty dependent on the help around her. Mostly because she's a scatterbrain and a klutz. She learned to be friendly and honest through the maids and butlers, however, she still became stubborn. She's reserved when you first meet her, but as she slowly gets to know people, she becomes more outgoing. Not so secretly, Kaya, is fairly flirty when it comes to girls. Her parents haven't really noticed, but all of her helpers have. Especially the younger maids.
