A Little History . . .
Kairee was created in the late 1980s as a character for a home-brew RPG. We were running an amoral party on an evil world and was “rolled up” as a mage with high charisma, psychic powers, and solid skills with magic. Like all good characters, Kairee had a twisted past. In the 1990’s she made the transition to the online world where she continued to evolve.
Just as there are different realities in the mythic “universe” of NECROMANTIC NIGHTS, the Kairee of the novel is a variation on the original.
Her personality always contained a bit of Mae West, Endora, Samantha’s mother from the “Bewitched” TV show, and Bugs Bunny.

SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE - Robert Palmer
"How can it be permissible
She compromise my principle, yeah yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical
She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her Simply Irresistible"
Her Strut - Bob Seger
"She's totally committed
To major independence
But she's a lady through and through
She gives them quite a battle
All that they can handle
She'll bruise some
She'll hurt some too
But oh they love to watch her strut
Oh they do respect her but
They love to watch her strut."
LEGS - ZZ Top
Kairee's legs are Splendiferous. . . and she knows how to use them.
"She's got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
She's got a dime all of the time,
Stays out at night movin' through time.
Oh, I want her, shit, I got to have her,
The girl is alright, she's alright."ph
ATOMIC COCKTAIL - Sam Galliard
A song about the Atomic Cocktail, Kairee's favorite drink.
BRICKHOUSE - The Commodores
Lyrics
Kairee is a stunning woman and knows it . . . as do many who visit The Inn.
"Mmm, the clothes she wear, her sexy ways
Make a old man wish for younger days, yeah, yeah
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure 'nough to knock a strong man to his knees"
IN YOUR EYES - Peter Gabriel
Lyrics
Kairee has had 3 great loves. While they all loved deeply, this song reflects how one, Darrek, specifically felt once he realized that he loved Kairee.
"In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes"
Quotes
“Clear as the moon, in glowing charms arrayed,
Her winning eyes the light of heaven displayed;
Her cypress form entranced the gazer's view,
Her waving curls, the heart, resistless, drew,
Her eyebrows like the archer's bended bow;
Her ringlets, snares; her cheek, the rose's glow,
Mixed with the Lily - from her eartips hung
Rings rich and glittering, starlike; and her tongue,
And lips, all sugared sweetness - pearls the while
Sparkled within a mouth formed to beguile,
Her presence dimmed the stars, and breathing round
Fragrance and joy, she scarcely touched the ground,
So light her step, so graceful - every part
Perfect and suited to her spotless heart. “
