overall personality • While Camilla prides herself in being posh, calm, and collective, she cannot deny that she is the ultimate opportunist when it comes to work. She wants what she can take. Camilla is the first one to notice things in her environment, and to see what their potential is She does not hesitate to confront thieves, or take risks. Camilla’s quick action saves her on many occasions. Despite her book smarts, she sometimes misses the obvious without any hints - and it has burned her in the past - with people and with private jobs. Camilla likes spending a lot of her time logically thinking up ways to outsmart rivals - particularly Lorena Reeves - at their own game, obsessively so. She barters for the things she wants, offering tit for tat. But she can often get caught up in her emotions. Ever picturing herself the strong, high and mighty woman, Camilla does not talk about her feelings much, and would rather ignore them or get lost in some physical aspects of a relationship or friendship than to share feelings.

overall history • Camilla was born into an aristocratic life. Her father, Clifford Kesington, is considered a renowned archeologist for work that he has done at Stonehenge, Hadrian's Wall, and Antontie's Wall. Her mother, Uma Pillai, at the time of meeting Clifford, an heiress to a prestigious tea & spice company. They met in her mother's native country of India and fell in love, with Clifford whisking Uma away to England to live in Belgravia, England. Several years later, Camilla was born. Even from when she first started to talk, she took to the high society living that her parents gave her and as she grew, she began to fall in love with her father's work and history. Her little mind blown by how much that they as a civilization have yet to uncover in the world and was surprised that Christianity had been the cause for wiping out many civilizations and setting it back by hundred of years.

She became determined to do exactly what her father did, maybe even surpass him in discoveries. Uma watched her daughter grow and take after her father with his curious mind. While the mother loved to see her daughter thriving and wanting to go into a field that both hard and challenging, she did not want Camilla to forget that she was simply half English, not completely, and set out to remind her of her roots in India. Not only was Camilla taught of her mother's side, she was also taught about how many sacred relics from all over the world. Relics that were stolen and sold to private collectors who then turned around and put them in museums that were half way around world and no where near the country in which it belonged. While knowledge is power, and that power comes with fame, it should not be used to take away from cultures.

As Camilla grew as a lady of high society, she aced her studies and soon got into the prestigious University of Cambridge and their Department of Archeology. Little did Camilla know that her life would change forever with one girl: Lorena Reeves. A cheeky girl with a quip for everything, tough but bright. Truly, Camilla thought that she had just met her best friend for the next four years, in fact, perhaps for the rest of her life. They got along splendidly for freshman orientation, the ice cream socials, everything. And then, classes happened and Camilla discovered that perhaps, Lorena Reeves was not a friend but a rival. The girl's outlook on archeology was non practical, it wasn't by the book, it was roguish. Every class, she found herself bickering with her, and they fought against each other head of the class each time and Professor's affections.

This would continue for the next three years. There were days Camilla simply adored her, and then there were other days that she completely hated her. Then, senior year came and the no good, terrible awful, unexplainable thing happened and it put the nail in the coffin. Camilla was floored, that she, a girl of high class, her pedigree, her marks and ranking in the university, was beaten by Lorena Reeves. Camilla bitterly graduated, seething at what happened and she swore that girl would never be her friend again. Time came and went, going on to her masters degree and then setting off on archology digs which soon became globe trotting studies to uncover myths, legends, and tombs.

As life would have it, since life had a funny way of doing that, she would often run into Lorena, swashbuckling her way through life much to Camilla's need to roll her eyes. It seemed college would never end, for she always found herself coming back to that friendship and rivalry all the same. A dance or a duel of some sorts, it happened in England, it happened half way across the world. They would even ban together to help each other out every once in a while, partially if it was a very sticky situation. After one close call - one particular encounter involved a trap, a ton of water, and possibly an anaconda, Camilla hung up her adventuring hat and took to academia once again: only this time, she was helping countries get back their lost artifacts from top museums.

While her mother was proud, her father was mortified. So Camilla left once more, landing herself a job at Hickstead University and relocating her home base. The small town was quaint and cute, and she loved being a professor. But Camilla has been finding herself yearning for adventuring again and Hickstead might not be able to contain her.
