Name: She usually goes by Kimber, or Kimber Mac.

Physical Characteristics:

Because of her mutant healing factor she physically ages more slowly, but she is chronologically in her 30s; very red, very long, very curly hair; freckles; green eyes; 5′6″; with an athletic build.

Kimber Mac was born Carwyn Gadarn in Penrhyn Bay, Wales, in 1980. She had a relatively normal early childhood. Her strictly Catholic parents brought her up in the Bed and Breakfast they owned until her 13th year when her Mutant X-Gene manifested. This scared her parents so much, they became convinced she was a demon and kicked her out.

She made her way to London where she was living above a diner (literally, in the attic) with her origami menagerie, her laptop, and what she could cram in her backpack. She taught herself to code, and the ins and outs of networks, joined a “Hacker Group” online and made a living doing IT work under the table.
A fateful encounter with the Third Doctor and Jo Grant led her to be connected with STRIKE in England, then with SHIELD in America and UNIT when it was still part of the UN. She also came to the attention of Mycroft Holmes who calls on her on occasion for discreet “research projects”.

She is a full time Archivist at UNIT and is predominantly assigned to track and record files and artifacts relating to The Doctor, she also acts as liaison with other government and quasi government agencies when called for. She currently resides in a condo she purchased in Maida Vale, Westminster.

Her Mutant powers are Telepathic/Empathic reception and some projection, and healing factor. Her religious affiliation is Wiccan. Because of her mutant healing factor she physically ages more slowly, but she is chronologically in her 30s; very red, very long, very curly hair; freckles; green eyes; 5′6″; with an athletic build. Because of her Telepathy/Empathy she doesn’t have many personal relationships, but she does identify as bisexual.

And last but not least she has a familiar, who is a Northern Pygmy Owl named Nimue with whom she can communicate and generally travels with her unless Kimber decides it’s not safe.
