Kimmalyn has tan brown skin and long, curly black hair.{{book ref|sky1|7}} She spends time on her appearance{{book ref|sky1|20}} and is in general, a very neat person.{{book ref|sky1|21}}{{book ref|sky1|28}}

Instead, puffy eyes and all, Kimmalyn raised her chin.
Cobb nodded toward her seat, and she strode over—a model of Defiant poise—and sat down. In that moment, she seemed more like a warrior than I’d ever been.

Despite this, Kimmalyn does not always recognize when she enables bad behavior.{{book ref|sky1|15}} She frequently uses the phrase, ''bless your stars'', however, the intention behind her comments can range from fondness{{book ref|sky1|16}} to mockery.{{book ref|sky1|23}} Kimmalyn uses subtle and confusing language when insulting others, so they do not catch on to her intention. This is a trait she has picked up from living in Bountiful Cavern where it is considered rude to be overtly insulting, but acceptable if veiled with politeness and obscurity.{{book ref|sky1|23}}
 
Kimmalyn's confidence is shaken during her time at [[flight school]]. Despite her talents in long distance sniping, her poor performance in flying leads her to repeatedly criticize herself to her classmates, even when they are praising her improvements.{{book ref|sky1|23}}{{book ref|sky1|28}} The death of [[Hurl]] further erodes Kimmalyn's trust in her abilities, as she believes her friend's death was because her own failure, ultimately leading her to leave the [[DDF]].{{book ref|sky1|33}}{{book ref|sky1|48}} Hurl's death fueled Kimmalyn's feelings of inadequacy leading her to question her sniper skills and cause distress when asked to make another difficult shot.{{book ref|sky1|52}} Despite this, Kimmalyn is proud of what she achieved as a cadet.{{book ref|sky1|38}} Kimmalyn's confidence in both flying and shooting likely improved following the [[Battle of Alta Second]] as she rejoins the DDF and becomes a full pilot.{{book ref|sky2|2}}

Kimmalyn is highly knowledgeable about piloting and [[starfighter]]s, having achieved the rank of pilot.{{book ref|sky2|2}} Following the [[Battle of Alta Second]], Kimmalyn is placed in a specialized team made up of [[Skyward Flight]] members in the position of sniper.{{book ref|sky2|14}}
 
She is an expert shooter who specializes in long distance snipping of moving targets,{{book ref|Skyward|11}} a result of being trained on the [[DDF]] anti-aircraft guns prior to [[flight school]].{{book ref|sky1|11}} Even as a cadet, she was far more skillful with [[Starfighter#Destructors|destructors]] than a majority of DDF pilots due to her ability to target and destroy moving objects, with most other pilots only having used the guns long range against stationary units.{{book ref|sky1|14}} She is aware of her skill with shooting,{{book ref|sky1|14}} however, is either not used to praise from others or just unsure as to how to accept it.{{book ref|sky1|11}}
 
Kimmalyn is not a strong flyer, however, has improved over time.{{book ref|sky1|23}}{{book ref|sky1|31}}{{book ref|sky2|2}}{{book ref|sky2|14}} She has trained to fly in both atmosphere and a vacuum.{{book ref|sky1|9}}{{book ref|sky2|2}} As with her flying skills, her dogfighting skills have likely improved with practice.{{book ref|sky1|14}}
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Kimmalyn is from [[Bountiful Cavern]] and the daughter of AA gunners.{{book ref|sky1|11}} She was trained on the smaller AA guns by her father prior to [[flight school]], though it is unclear when she began her training.{{book ref|Skyward|11}} Part of her father's training involved a mushroom that resembled a squirrel.{{book ref|sky1|14}}
 
=== Flight School ===
She did not plan to take the entrance exam for flight school but was approached by [[DDF]] recruiters who wanted to see a demonstration of her weaponry skills.{{book ref|Skyward|11}} Once seeing her abilities, they encouraged her to apply for the DDF and sit the entrance exam.{{book ref|Skyward|11}} After passing the exam, Kimmalyn was placed in [[Skyward Flight]] under the tutorledge of [[Cobb]]. She was roomed with the other female members of her flight, with the exception of [[Spensa]], who was denied accommodation.{{book ref|sky1|11}} Before it became known that Spensa would not be rooming with them, Kimmalyn offered to switch out sleeping arrangements with the other girl every second night so that Spensa would not have to always sleep on a cot instead of a bed.{{book ref|sky1|11}}
 
On the first day of flight school, Kimmalyn ran into, and befriended Spensa, shortly after leaving the elevator from [[Igneous]].{{book ref|sky1|7}} The two girls were the first to arrive at the classroom, introducing themselves to their classmates when they arrived. When [[Jorgen]] arrived and ordered Skyward Flight to attention, Kimmalyn immediately jumped to action, however, in her excitement, she saluted Jorgen with both hands while also standing on her toes. Jorgen harshly criticized her, leading to Spensa jumping to Kimmalyn's defense. Kimmalyn, while initially hurt by Jorgen's comment, was pleased by Spensa's response.{{book ref|sky1|8}}

|A line of red light pierced the battlefield. It passed between Krell ships, went right over Jorgen’s wing as he overburned away from the bomber. And damn me if it didn’t spear the exact spot between the bomber and the bomb, severing the clamps.

=== Return to the DDF ===
Following the battle, Kimmalyn rejoined the DDF as an active pilot taking up a specialized piloting role in the reformed Skyward Flight.{{book ref|sky2|2}} She accompanied Spensa, FM, and [[Sadie]] into battle against the Krell shortly before the arrival of the [[Superiority]] battleships.{{book ref|sky2|2}} After returning to base, Kimmalyn waited with Spensa who had stayed behind to speak to [[Jorgen]]. The pair chatted with Sadie as they waited, who looked up to both women. When Jorgen arrived, Kimmalyn abandoned Spensa to face Jorgen's wrath alone.{{book ref|sky1|3}}
 
After receiving a message from [[Rodge]] about a recording, recovered from the [[Platform Prime]] databases, Kimmalyn quickly returned to fetch Spensa and Jorgen and head to the [[Platform_Prime|Library]] to see what had been uncovered.{{book ref|sky1|3}}{{book ref|sky2|4}} When Spensa spooked at the recording, Kimmalyn tried to assist her.{{book ref|sky2|5}}

{{image|BlessYourStars.PNG|width=350px|side=right|Kimmalyn and [[Spensa Nightshade]]}}
 
Kimmalyn and [[Spensa]] are close friends. Kimmalyn is not put out by the other women's strong personality,{{book ref|sky1|7}} or her temper.{{book ref|sky1|16}} She will follow Spensa's lead, including Spensa's bullying of Jorgen.{{book ref|sky1|10}} Kimmalyn sees no issue with Spensa's actions against Jorgen in the light-lance game, praising her for her conduct.{{book ref|sky1|15}} Spensa was not sold on the callsign, ''Quirk'', and considered talking to Kimmalyn about it, though it is unclear if she ever did.{{book ref|sky1|11}} Spensa finds the look of Kimmalyn in a space helmet strange, as it fully contains Kimmalyn's voluminous hair.{{book ref|sky2|2}}
 
Kimmalyn is aware of who Spensa's [[Zeen_Nightshade|father]] and has heard the stories about him.{{book ref|sky1|15}} Although she is, at first, shocked to find out Spensa's parentage, she does not treat Spensa differently after the revelation, nor does she shy away from the topic or Spensa's anger.{{book ref|sky1|16}} She is impressed by Spensa's ability to stand up against the rumors and admires Spensa's courage.{{book ref|sky1|16}} She sees Spensa's fears of being weak as natural and encourages her to share her feelings with her teammates and rely on them.{{book ref|sky1|28}} Kimmalyn may be aware of some of Spensa's fears surrounding her cytonic abilities, however, Spensa is not always willing to share her feelings.{{book ref|sky2|2}}
Spensa is protective of Kimmalyn, jumping to the women's aid when she is harshly criticized.{{book ref|sky1|8}} During flight school, Spensa is aware that Kimmalyn is nervous about her poor flying ability and uses silly jokes and humor to help lift Kimmalyn's spirits.{{book ref|sky1|23}} Spensa feels angry on her friends behalf, irritated that Kimmalyn so often is made to feel like a failure for her flying ability, when she is so naturally talented at shooting.{{book ref|sky1|23}} She believes in Kimmalyn and her abilities, even when the other woman loses her confidence, and consistently provides support and encouragement to help Kimmalyn combat the lack of faith she has in herself.{{book ref|sky1|48}}{{book ref|sky1|52}}
 
Following the [[Battle of Alta Second]], the pair begin to live in the same barracks, where Spensa attempts to draw Kimmalyn into silly contests.{{book ref|sky2|14}} Kimmalyn and Spensa are often paired together when sent on missions,{{book ref|sky2|2}}{{book ref|sky2|7}}{{book ref|sky2|14}} and work in tandem, with Spensa chasing enemies back towards Kimmalyn so she can shoot them down.{{book ref|sky2|14}} While away in [[Starsight]], Spensa sorely missed Kimmalyn and wished for her company.{{book ref|sky2|14}}{{book ref|sky2|18}}

}}
 
Kimmalyn and [[Hurl]] are friends and share a dorm room with [[FM]] during [[flight school]]. While rooming together, the three would come up with silly flight maneuvers they could name after each other. At some point, Hurl taught Kimmalyn wall-ball, though Kimmalyn seemed to prefer watching her friends play than participating.{{book ref|sky1|28}}
 
Kimmalyn believes she is at fault for Hurl's death as she was unable to shoot down Hurl's pursuers. She is strongly affected by Hurl's death and following the battle requests to be dismissed from the [[DDF]].{{book ref|sky1|33}} Kimmalyn's confidence in her abilities is shaken following the incident and she becomes anxious and unsure when faced with another situation where her shooting could change the tide of battle.{{book ref|sky1|52}}
