Kittiwake has led a minimalistic existence, and this is reflected in her mannerisms — she is a wolf of few words, which may be taken for curtness. Her parents were two of a kind: clever, rugged, and uncompromising, and this has rubbed off slightly in her grave sense of humour and occasional crass remarks. She is extroverted but relatively apathetic towards those she considers outsiders, but with those she has formed some sort of bond, is loyal to a fault.
