As a baby, Kay Dez was left on a ship that was smuggling slaves to Hutt space. The pilot of the ship was more dismayed than surprised to find the infant, left aboard, and dumped her at the next stop. There she was temporarally taken in by an elderly couple who were killed no more than two years later. Kay spent much of her adolescent years being passed from person to person, ship to ship. She grew up on the streets of bad neighborhoods, and in the ships of unpleasant smugglers who were displeased to see a free passenger had snuck on board. Eventually she snuck onto the wrong ship, and ended up facing a bounty hunter by the name of Tres Merlop. He was a good natured man, only in it for the money. He taught her much about survival and how to handle various weapons. But, he too, eventually abandoned her. He feared his mission would be too dangerous to bring a mere teen along, and left her in a slummy spaceport. He was correct, word later reached her that he had been killed. She hadn't known him for long, but it was the first person she had ever gotten slightly close to. She knew of a second ship he had hidden away and retrieved it. From that day on, she spent her life smuggling goods and learning everything she could about piloting and fixing a ship, until one day when she met someone who told her about an alliance. One that was destroying evil and trying to restore peace to the galaxy. Having seen imperials in action, having heard about them completely destroying one of the planets she had once lived on..she didn't hesitate to join this alliance.
She never learned where she came from, or what had happened to her parents. All she had from her past were scars, and an odd metal object that shot a beam of light from it when turned on. She liked the metal object, and would often practice fighting with it. But she was still much better with blasters and daggers.
