Friendly, fun-loving, and a hopeless romantic, Kirsty longs for the spontaneity she associates with great love stories.
Her impulsive side won out a few years ago, resulting in a quick, passionate affair and a child by another man. Almost immediately, Kirsty regretted it, and while her feelings for Melissa never wavered, her appreciation of a fiery romance "like off the telly" soon paled in comparison to the more subtle, dependable love that Bagpipes offered.
Since the revelation, she and Bagpipes have had a much rockier relationship. Kirsty would love to resolve the problem, but a lot of trust needs to be restored. She finds Bagpipes most attractive when he's doing something perceivably masculine. Similarly, Bagpipes likes doing anything for Kirsty that can show her he's able to provide for and protect her.
Bagpipes is Kirsty's anchor, and Kirsty encourages him to be more adventurous and exciting. When they're working well together it's easy to see why they've stayed married all these years, but the shadow of Kirsty's affair is never too far away.
