Kimberly was an artisan crafter and master counterfeiter living in [[Antei]]. Her copies were said to be near-perfect forgeries. She earned her money forging cargo slips for smuggling purposes.
Kimberly was a skilled artisan crafter residing in the town of [[Antei]]. Her true role, however, was as a renowned master counterfeiter. Her exceptional talent allowed her to create near-perfect forgeries, and she primarily earned her income by forging cargo slips for smuggling purposes.


She was a heavy drinker and a dedicated pursuer of any men who interested her. An acquaintance of [[Mathiu Silverberg]], Mathiu wrote her a letter asking her to join the [[Toran Liberation Army]] in order to forge a document for them.  
Known for her fondness for alcohol, her avoidance of hangovers, and her avid pursuit of romantic interests, Kimberly had been commissioned by [[Mathiu Silverberg]] for cargo smuggling purposes in the past. Mathiu reached out to her through a written letter, seeking her assistance in forging a document for the [[Toran Liberation Army]].


After having Mathiu's Letter read to her, as she herself could not read it, Kimberly decided that she would only join the Toran Liberation Army if [[Flik]] treated her to dinner. Although Flik protested that he could not, [[Viktor]] gave Kimberly permission to do what she would like with Flik.
Upon having [[Mathiu's Letter]] read to her, as she was unable to read it herself, Kimberly stipulated that she would only join the Toran Liberation Army if [[Flik]] accompanied her to dinner. Despite Flik's reservations, [[Viktor]] permitted Kimberly to proceed as she desired with Flik.


After an evening with Flik, Kimberly headed to [[Toran Castle]] Before leaving, she also told [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] and his party where they could find [[Tesla]]. Kimberly and Tesla made an excellent forgery of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire|Imperial]] documents the Liberation Army needed, which Kimberly claimed was a result of her perfectionist nature.  
After spending an evening with Flik, Kimberly made her way to [[Toran Castle]]. Before departing, she informed [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] and his party about the whereabouts of [[Tesla]]. Together with Tesla, Kimberly skillfully forged the [[Fake Orders]] required by the Liberation Army, attributing the exceptional quality of their work to her pursuit of perfection.

Kimberly continued to work with the Liberation Army closely throughout the rest of the [[Gate Rune War]]. She wielded a kitchen knife in battle, one which had been sharpened enough to be as sharp and dangerous as a sword.
Throughout the course of the [[Gate Rune War]], Kimberly maintained a close working relationship with the Liberation Army. In combat, she wielded a kitchen knife that had been sharpened to possess the lethality of a sword.


While serving with the Liberation Army, she met [[Tai Ho]] and his sworn brother, [[Yam Koo]]. Kimberly was quick to try to make a move on Tai Ho, but Yam Koo, knowing Tai Ho's weakness for women, tried to prevent her from getting too close to him. Following the war, Kimberly forced her way into Tai Ho's household.  
During her service with the Liberation Army, Kimberly encountered [[Tai Ho]] and his sworn brother, [[Yam Koo]]. She attempted to pursue Tai Ho romantically, prompting Yam Koo to intervene in an effort to protect his friend from her advances. Subsequently, Kimberly established herself in Tai Ho's household after their marriage.


Tai Ho and Kimberly eventually got married, but the marriage was hardly idyllic, as Tai Ho and Yam Koo travelled to [[Dunan (region)|Dunan]] to escape her, with help from their friend [[Kun To]]. What Tai Ho didn't know, however, was that by this time, Kimberly wasn't interested in him at all, but instead had her sights set on Yam Koo.
However, their marriage was far from harmonious, and Tai Ho and Yam Koo eventually traveled to [[Dunan (region)|Dunan]] with the assistance of their friend [[Kun To]] to escape from Kimberly's persistent pursuits. Unbeknownst to Tai Ho, Kimberly's interest had shifted from him to Yam Koo by that time.

History

Well, look who it is. Care to join me for a drink tonight?

—  Kimberly
Yeah, but this tea smells like wine...?

Kimberly was a skilled artisan crafter residing in the town of Antei. Her true role, however, was as a renowned master counterfeiter. Her exceptional talent allowed her to create near-perfect forgeries, and she primarily earned her income by forging cargo slips for smuggling purposes.

Known for her fondness for alcohol, her avoidance of hangovers, and her avid pursuit of romantic interests, Kimberly had been commissioned by Mathiu Silverberg for cargo smuggling purposes in the past. Mathiu reached out to her through a written letter, seeking her assistance in forging a document for the Toran Liberation Army.

Upon having Mathiu's Letter read to her, as she was unable to read it herself, Kimberly stipulated that she would only join the Toran Liberation Army if Flik accompanied her to dinner. Despite Flik's reservations, Viktor permitted Kimberly to proceed as she desired with Flik.

After spending an evening with Flik, Kimberly made her way to Toran Castle. Before departing, she informed McDohl and his party about the whereabouts of Tesla. Together with Tesla, Kimberly skillfully forged the Fake Orders required by the Liberation Army, attributing the exceptional quality of their work to her pursuit of perfection.

Gosh. Take a hint, Yam Koo.

Throughout the course of the Gate Rune War, Kimberly maintained a close working relationship with the Liberation Army. In combat, she wielded a kitchen knife that had been sharpened to possess the lethality of a sword.

During her service with the Liberation Army, Kimberly encountered Tai Ho and his sworn brother, Yam Koo. She attempted to pursue Tai Ho romantically, prompting Yam Koo to intervene in an effort to protect his friend from her advances. Subsequently, Kimberly established herself in Tai Ho's household after their marriage.

However, their marriage was far from harmonious, and Tai Ho and Yam Koo eventually traveled to Dunan with the assistance of their friend Kun To to escape from Kimberly's persistent pursuits. Unbeknownst to Tai Ho, Kimberly's interest had shifted from him to Yam Koo by that time.
