Description
Herley, a calico cat, stands at 5'4" and 110 pounds. There's a surprising amount of strength on her small frame, but she's not much of a match for a bear or a boar. Her hair is a rich red, and is usually tied back out of her emerald-green eyes with a black or white kerchief.

She wears a muted red, long flight jacket with protective padding to guard against light shrapnel and firearms, with internal pockets that usually contain a Glisenti Model 1910 and a few spare clips. The outer pockets hold various odds and ends, but they always contain a rag and a pair of gloves. The jacket helps conceal a variety of hidden weapons, which include a Makarov PM/M, long knife, and throwing knives. Around her neck is a pair of well-used flight goggles that sometimes migrate up to her forehead.

In addition to the two pistols already mentioned, she also carries a Colt M1911A1 in a hip holster, and when going into highly dangerous situations includes a M1 Garand on a bandoleer.

Under the jacket, she wears a red t-shirt over a black long-sleeve shirt, a pair of tan cargo pants and a pair of well-worn leather boots.

In colder climes, she wears a long shed-polar-bear-fur-lined coat and insulated pants, and adds a balaclava into the mix as well. In warmer climes she'll remove everything but the white t-shirt and a pair of tan shorts, and the hip holster.

For dressier occasions, she'll wear a black dress with a red purse, which usually contains at least one pistol. She'll pair these with the long coat when it's cold.

Backstory
Born in 205 AU on Steppe to a pair of Flight Control Officers, Herley was constantly surrounded by planes and zeppelins. As a young girl, she would often go with her mother to the control tower and watch for hours as pilots gracefully, and some not so gracefully, landed their craft. By the age of 10, Herley could identify by sight the most common planes in Skytopia. Her parents intended for her to stay on Steppe and marry John Finklestein, a tom she had been friends with for a long time. Herley, however, found John to be nothing more than a good friend. While under pressure from her parents, she ran away to join Flight School in 220 AU. She spent three years on Echo, honing her skills in a CR-4P. Now 20 and flying her Hades named Athena, she is a regular visitor to the Rotor and Prop tavern and runs a fast freight and passenger service between various Skylands.

Herley was inspired to fly by Che'samo Sak and Antoniette Rousseau, and met Antoniette in 224 AU while delivering a barrel of Steppian Egg Grog to the Rotor and Prop tavern.

In late 224 AU, Herley joined the Crimson Armada.
