That’s what the Saint says. Instead, puffy eyes and all, Kimmalyn raised her chin. Cobb nodded toward her seat, and she strode over—a model of Defiant poise—and sat down. In that moment, she seemed more like a warrior than I’d ever been. \|Kimmalyn refusing to leave the DDF after the ~~death's~~deaths of [[Morningtide]] and [[Bim]]{{book ref\|sky1\|20}} \|side=right \|size=350px Kimmalyn is highly knowledgeable about piloting and [[starfighter]]s, having achieved the rank of pilot.{{book ref\|sky2\|2}} Following the Battle of Alta Second, Kimmalyn is placed in a specialized team made up of Skyward Flight members in the position of sniper.{{book ref\|sky2\|14}} She is an expert shooter who specializes in long distance ~~snipping~~sniping of moving targets,{{book ref\|Skyward\|11}} a result of being trained on the DDF anti-aircraft guns prior to [[flight school]].{{book ref\|sky1\|11}} Even as a cadet, she was far more skillful with [[Starfighter#Destructors\|destructors]] than a majority of DDF pilots due to her ability to target and destroy moving objects, with most other pilots only having used the guns long range against stationary units.{{book ref\|sky1\|14}} She is aware of her skill with shooting,{{book ref\|sky1\|14}} however, is either not used to praise from others or just unsure as to how to accept it.{{book ref\|sky1\|11}} Kimmalyn is not a strong flyer, however, has improved over time.{{book ref\|sky1\|23}}{{book ref\|sky1\|31}}{{book ref\|sky2\|2}}{{book ref\|sky2\|14}} She has trained to fly in both atmosphere and a vacuum.{{book ref\|sky1\|9}}{{book ref\|sky2\|2}} As with her flying skills, her dogfighting skills have likely improved with practice.{{book ref\|sky1\|14}} === Flight School === She did not plan to take the entrance exam for flight school but was approached by DDF recruiters who wanted to see a demonstration of her weaponry skills.{{book ref\|Skyward\|11}} Once seeing her abilities, they encouraged her to apply for the DDF and sit the entrance exam.{{book ref\|Skyward\|11}} After passing the exam, Kimmalyn was placed in Skyward Flight under the tutorledge of [[Cobb]]. She was roomed with the other female members of her flight, with the exception of [[Spensa]], who was denied accommodation.{{book ref\|sky1\|11}} Before it became known that Spensa would not be rooming with them, Kimmalyn offered to switch out sleeping arrangements with the other girl every second night so that Spensa would not have to always sleep on a cot instead of a bed.{{book ref\|sky1\|11}} On the first day of flight school, Kimmalyn ran into, and befriended Spensa, shortly after leaving the elevator from [[Igneous]].{{book ref\|sky1\|7}} The two girls were the first to arrive at the classroom, introducing themselves to their classmates when they arrived. When [[Jorgen]] arrived and ordered Skyward Flight to attention, Kimmalyn immediately jumped to action, however, in her excitement, she saluted Jorgen with both hands while also standing on her toes. Jorgen harshly criticized her, leading to Spensa jumping to Kimmalyn's defense. Kimmalyn, while initially hurt by Jorgen's comment, was pleased by Spensa's response.{{book ref\|sky1\|8}} {{demoted\|sf1\|exemplary=yes}} {{Skyward}} [[Category:Viewpoint characters]]
