No edge or anything, just make it part of her background. Being an Ancient might make it hard to enter this particular group, unless you wanted your ancient goganger taught by Kiros as well. I'll give you the background info for Kayla and you can try and figure out what you want to do with it.Thanee said:
Kayla was born in the early 2040s to Meredith and Jasin Brightleaf as Meagan Brightleaf. As both her parents held the social rank of Duke, she inherited the title, and being a Duke certainly has its priveleges. Meagan while not a royal, still attended the best schools in the Tir, and when her magical ability presented itself, she was hired a teacher from among the lower status nobles, Count Kiros Ward. Under Kiros's care, Meagan's magical abilities blossomed.
Not only did her magical abilities blossom, Meagan also fell in love with her teacher, something that was noticed and quietly discouraged by her father, who already had plans for an arranged marriage for her to one of the the royal class. When she turned 18, as is the tradition, Meagan performed her right of passage. Being left out in unspoiled wilderness alone for 72 hours to meditate and think. Except for an encounter with a pair of mountain lions, it was uneventful. When she returned from the wilderness, she performed the naming, forever changing herself into Kayla Brightleaf, permenantly erasing Meagan Brightleaf from all records.
At this point Kiros moved in with her on the lands that all Dukes and Duchesses are awarded when they come of age. Shortly after her 18 birthday, the right of progression was held, and as expected she was confirmed in her inherited rank of Duchess. Kiros on the other hand who was challenging his own rank in order to become a duke (and thus a more acceptable match for Kayla), not only failed to be raised, he was stripped of his commital rank, and lowered to the rank of the gentry, the peasants, in a rather blatant use of influence, though it was unknown who's as results are confidential.
Enraged, Kiros left the Tir, emmigrating to the UCAS. While upset, there was nothing that Kayla could do, and she did not want to leave the Tir or her parents. When her mother died, and left her a note admitting to what her father had done to Kiros at the right of progression, Kayla decided to leave the Tir. Because of the privelages of her rank she was allowed to freely leave and enter so she was not forced to emmigrate, and could return when she wishes and still retain her 20 hectares.
Currently Kayla is living with Kiros, and working in his talismongering shop a few hours a week. The two of them also teach Sorcery as well as spells to those who are rich enough to pay for their services. They also do a little under the table healing for those who might not wish to go to a hospital and give a SIN. They also have the goodwill of the community for charging greatly reduced rates for healing those who are simply too poor to go to a hospital out of a sense of duty. Kiros is continuing to teach Kayla the deeper magics and she has joined him and a group of his other students that he has taught since leaving the Tir in forming an initiatory group. The group is rather small and very much a close knit family, it is taken as a matter of course that any in the group who need aid will receive it with few questions asked.

Kayla Brightleaf is a Sorceress female elf who, through lack of an Irish accent is most likely from Tir Tairgire, though there are other subtle hints about her that definitely point to the elven nation for her origin. She tends to wear the most exquisite clothing, and even when she is dressing down, she is still head and shoulders above the norm for the sprawl. Some of her nicest clothes, for those who have the knowledge to recognize such fashions, belong to the ultra exclusive Tir Noble Heritage line by Zoe. She tends to wear a black cloak with mystic symbols embrodiered in gold thread, the "in" clothes for a mage thanks to Mortimer of London's advertising. She also wears a number of Foci and Fetishes about her person to aid her in her craft, were a person to look at her in the Astral, they could see a silver spiral armband on her upper arm, a ruby pendant, a silver ring, and a host of other minor fetishes.
Kayla is strongly opinionated and doesn't hesitate to speak her mind or take charge of a situation, she is fluent in Sperithel and English, and her voice has an almost purring quality to it. She holds deeply to her ideal that all life is sacred and refuses to even consider a job where a life must be taken, and she will do her best to convince those around her not to kill except in self-defense. Kayla can be found working a few hours a week in a Talismonger shop owned by Kiros Ward whom she happens to be living with, and it provides a safe and legit way to launder money for her. She and Kiros have both been known to do no questions asked healing, as well as healing for those without SINs or money to pay hospital bills.
