Hey guys,
I've had Kyndall in shop for over 3 years now (OMG!) and I feel like the character she's developed into isn't the one that is reflected in her profile. I wanted to update her to get closer to who I feel like she is now with her knight life, the baby, her marriage, and all of her experiences weighed in.

Name: Kyndall Rosen Darrow
Nickname: Kyn, “Doll”
Age: 34 35 36 37
Birthday: December 17th
Sign: Sagittarius
Gemstone: Turquoise
Blood Type: O+
Fav. Food: Comfort foods
Hated Food: Mayonnaise
Occupation: Crystal Academy teacher of dramatics, wonder wife, full time mom
Hobbies:
Dramatic Maven: Kyndall has a collection of books, plays, and manuscripts that shame most film libraries. She collects them where she finds them and has in her time written a few works of her own. If she's not in class or busy with some other life necessity she is generally reading. Being married has forced her to get a TV and now she is collecting a vast myriad of films old and new and has made it her personal mission to educate him on her passion. Thankfully he does not seem to mind this... She can often be found at old film appreciation events or in town at plays.
Being a Mom: Just when she thought she was going to have her baby out of the house here came a new one for her to love and dote on! She takes her one year old everywhere but her mothering does not seem to stop there. Kyndall will take it upon herself to mother anyone she sees in need of it including her friends, her children's friends, and even random strangers. This makes her truly, truly happy.
Sing a little Song: Singing is how Kyndall communicates. She sings when she's happy or when she's thinking. She listens to music reflective of her mood and has taken lessons since she was young. She plays guitar and piano and sings along with the melody. When she plays old show tunes it means she's so angry she's about to explode. She will, on occasion, make the rounds on a particular karaoke night and usually knocks em' dead (as much as anyone can singing karaoke)
Staying in Shape: Most of the time this means running after her toddler but occasionally that also means going to the gym, pilates, or doing laps at the local pool. Kyn has sort of given up on her dreams of being a famous actress but that does not mean she can let herself go!
Virtues:
Motherly: She is quick to care for people and has no problem showing that affection. If you need a hug or a shoulder to cry on she is definitely your woman! This motherly instinct tends to allow Kyndall a lot of patience in emotional situations and tact when dealing with delicate matters. She is fine at offering advice and will go out of her way to offer people whatever she thinks will help them, always aiming to nurture. She is also fiercely protective of people, not just her loved ones. She will willingly step into danger to protect someone from harm, especially children. It's not something she consciously thinks about. It's instinct. She is especially fierce protecting her family and their relatively normal life together.
Graceful: Kyndall has a way about her that is graceful, and not just physically. Being married to someone that often finds himself tongue tied has allowed her practice at easing tense situations or relieving awkward moments without drawing much attention to the awkward part of it. She is also adept at being delicate with people's feelings and will usually be the calm and quiet voice of reason in arguments. Except, of course, when in the middle of one of her angry/fearful moments. (see Fiery Temper and Anxiety Driven below) If there is no immediate threat to her or her loved ones she can keep her head. If there is nothing to trigger her anxiety she is level headed. In day to day tiffs or disagreements she can be perfectly rational and calm about it. She is, after all, a mom that has raised a teenaged daughter.
Fun: Kyn is happiest when she is having fun. She will often think of activities that keep her and her family on the go and will plan fun outings for her students as a relief from lessons. Whatever it is that has to be done Kyndall will usually try to find a fun approach to it and will embrace that approach. She likes to tease and does not mind being teased in return. She will try to be fun when in the company of others, prompting everyone to try and find this attitude for themselves.
Content: Kyndall has very simple needs. She does not need to keep up with the Jonses to be happy. Simple gestures of affection make her happy, like a daisy picked and offered to her or a night spent cuddling in front of an old movie. She does not need an abundance of clothing in her closet or brand labels to feel like she is happy. So long as the people she loves are safe and happy then she is very content in life. Even daily menial tasks don't get her down because she does them for people she loves. And now that she has given up the idea that she needs to be famous she takes an incredible amount of pride and joy in her students and the drama club.
Flaws:
Motherly, the drawbacks: While it is great that Kyndall is a very caring and nurturing type of woman there is a drawback to her motherly affection. Often times Kyn will develop a "mother knows best" attitude when mothering people and will generally not hear arguments or reasons to the contrary whether with friends or strangers. She thinks she knows exactly what will help from her own point of view, not necessarily the person she is helping's point of view. This attitude can be a bit overbearing, especially with strangers. She will offer advice even when someone may not necessarily want it because she thinks she knows what will help them out. Again, this comes from a place of caring but it does not seem like it when she is busy giving you a 12 step program to fix your life.
Obstinate: Kyndall can be unbearably stubborn, especially when it comes to her family. Her stubborn natures sometimes makes her impossible to reason with. Even things that are natural or good changes, like her daughter moving out as an example, can be met with point blank defiance and though she will try not to be mean about this opposition she will not let it go until she is proven wrong about it beyond doubt. When in one of these obstinate arguments Kyndall will not hear reason and will not change her mind even if presented with logically sound reasons or passionate pleas.
Anxiety Driven Kyndall suffers from bouts of severe anxiety, especially when faced with large changes. Because of the bad things in her past Kyn is unable to experience change without fear. She can handle them discontinuing her shampoo just fine. She cannot handle her daughter moving out or her husband having his star seed threatened. When in this mode she will internalize and usually not let people know that she is suffering but her personality will drastically change to a withdrawn and painfully quiet person with very little interest in anything. Around very trusted loved ones she can try to open up about how she is feeling but will be very emotional and shaky. On rare occasions this fear will spur her will to fight the source of her fear (see Fiery Temper) but more often than not she will retreat and experience a low point where she cannot cope and may even shut down beyond necessary functions. These periods can last as few as a few hours if proactively dealt with by outside sources to several weeks or months for large changes.
Fiery Temper: When she is angry Kyndall can be very vocal and very scary, especially when she is protecting someone she loves. She can be unrelenting and unforgiving when she feels like she is avenging a wrong done against her or her loved ones. Kyn is comfortable with violence in costume but will try to find a solution out of costume that will not result in her arrest. She sometimes reaches this state without getting all the facts or with very little prompting for a breaking point if the pressure has been building for a while. She is not reasonable in this state and is slow to come down from it. The only people that seems exempt from this anger seems to be her husband and children who she would rather die than hurt. Anyone else, ally or foe, should beware.
