Kelly Taylor

The eldest daughter and heiress to the family owned Gloucester Enterprises trading business, Kelly stunned her family, friends and the media when she announced her intentions to join the Confederation Stellar Navy. She insisted on no special treatment because of her status and notoriety, and was subsequently given none.

 

Early Life

Kelly met Estelle de Winter during her time at the academy who took under her wing, helping her through the difficult first few months. She soon proved herself to be a natural starfighter pilot, her skills surprising even her. In order to inspire others to achieve their maximum potential she keeps a digital journal of her experiences. Kelly is very close to all the White Knights, seeing them as her extended family, though none more so than Enrique.

She does, however, have a habit of forgetting herself from time to time, a fault that some has attributed to her past, telling her she still acts just like her sisters.

 

The Honour of the Knights [Toggle Spoilers]

Along with her fellow wingmates, Kelly became involved in the ATAF project, being transferred to Xalan to undergo evaluations in the piloting of the starfighter.

After being transferred to Temper she shot down two Darts whilst patrolling the system. The Dart pilots turned out to be civilians who were fleeing their nation's civil war.

During Operation Menelaus, she was involved in a head-on collision with an Imperial Sphinx, whilst piloting one of the ATAF. The Sphinx was destroyed in the collision, and whilst the ATAF itself suffered no damage, Kelly suffered a concussion that knocked her out for several minutes.

Later, in the Phylent system, she came across a freighter which she identified as belonging to Gloucester Enterprises. Its presence was unusual since the Mitikas Empire had never permitted the family business (nor any other Confederate stellar business) to operate within their space. After confessing to her wingmates that she had seen people aboard, she dismissed the sighting as a result of the concussion she suffered earlier.

Kelly was promoted to the rank of 1st Lieutenant following Griffin and Ifrit's successful return to Spirit.
