Gender: Female
Age: 17

Hobbies:
Frankly, I'm Puzzled - Whether it's jigsaws, crosswords, word jumbles or Rubik's cubes, chances are that Kelsy has attempted and conquered said puzzle. She'll gladly spend all evening working on an especially hard thousand piece puzzle instead of going out and partying with classmates.... not that she'd have been invited anyways. Relaxing and fun, puzzles are a means of vanquishing boredom and unwinding from stressful school days.
21st Century Gaming - Knowledgeable in the ways of technology, Kelsy thoroughly enjoys rotting her brains out on various computer programs. WoW, Aion, Mahjong, Alchemy and Maple Story are just a few of her pastimes, the teenager finding herself far more sociable when masked with a pixelated face as opposed to the big bad real world. Her favorite computer activity? Online Poker. Currently Kelsy remains the undefeated champ in the Destiny City league... too bad she's too young to actually place bets on it!
Murder She Read - If the crossword puzzles have been filled out and the online poker rooms are full, you'll more than likely find Kels buried deep into the pages of a good book. Whodunits, mysteries and historical fiction are just a few of her favorite genres, but she has also been caught dabbling in a bit of science fiction or fantasy (like Tolkien, for example). Keep out the romance, though! She has difficulty sympathizing with characters caught up in romance - why be romantic when you could be saving the world or catching the bad guy?
Gemstone: Garnet
Virtues:
Steady as a Rock - Once she finds something to put her faith towards, Kelsy has unwavering dedication towards any person or idea she has placed her faith in. An unshakable force of sorts, she will do whatever it takes to get the job done, or risk what it takes in attempting to complete the task at hand. Almost ridiculously, she has so few friends that it also takes quite a bit for her to lose faith in a person. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me the twenty-third time? Well, we probably need to talk about this, I think.
Now THAT'S Quick Thinking! - The fastest mind in the west..of Destiny City? Perhaps slightly over-exaggerated, but close to being the truth! Kelsy spent a good portion of middle school tuning her mind with think-fast memory games, and as such almost always has a solution waiting on the tip of her tongue when a problem arises. One day, in the business world, it will probably be the only thing that saves her from hopeless obscurity due to her lack of social skills. Having trouble getting that table into the house because it’s too wide? Don’t worry, Kelsy can tell you how to do it! Trying to figure out the best way to organize things for a party? Kelsy can help there too, even if she's never been to one before!
Whatever Happens, Take Responsibility – Though generally addicted to her past-times, Kelsy doesn’t shirk any of her responsibilities to do it! Her schoolwork is always handed in on time, and she pulls a good grade average, for the most part. Of course, when you spend all your time pumping the mind-iron, it’s bound to pay off, right? Her tunnel vision also works in other directions, and she perfunctorily performs her chores, and is an excellent animal-sitter. Don’t try to get her to watch your kids though. She’ll really try her hardest, but she has no idea how to manage the little monsters!
Flaws:
They Didn't Want to Talk to Me Anyways - Challenged is probably too kind of a word for this absolute social disaster. At an early age, it became apparent that Kelsy simply had a hard time relating to any of her tiny classmates. Perhaps because she was simply taller than them, or things didn’t connect correctly in her brain, she gets giggly at misfortune and doesn’t always get the joke, though she’s not lacking of a sense of humor! Perhaps part of the problem is her tunnel vision, being so engrossed in what she’s doing that the room could burn down around her and it’d take the draft that would alert her that there were no longer four walls and a roof! Most kids would be miserable at this sort of handicap, but Kelsy takes it in stride, and simply focuses her energy elsewhere.
A Walking Volcano - Kelsy is a walking, ticking, breathing, time bomb almost begging for you to give its fuse the tiniest nudge to set it ablaze. Did you accidentally bump into her, causing her to drop her book in the hallway? Better run for cover and put your hands over your ears, because this girl will sear the air with her fiery tongue and artful command of the nastier side of language! This doesn’t just extend to others, but also applies to the girl herself. Lose a game of solitaire? Suddenly it becomes 52 card pickup as the cards go flying in every which direction. Did she forget where her book was placed, or maybe her glasses? You bet she’s going to chuck every single novel she can find across the room until her hands and eyes find the one she’s looking for. Not even the ever-so-heavy Webster Encyclopedia is safe from her ire, in the deepest moments of her rage!
Might as Well Face It You're Addicted to... Everything? – Having next to no friends and no prospects in the future, Kelsy is forced to cling to those things in life that do amuse her and give her pleasure. She is almost compulsively forced to finish that thousand piece puzzle, perhaps pick up another book to read? Or reread? Spend hours on the internet trying to beat that room full of pro poker players? Who cares about staying up all night? Not Kelsy! She lives on the sparse end of the energy spectrum, catering to all of her addictions and everything that drives her to have what she considers to be a good, satisfactory time.
Physical Description:
Hair - Short sandy blonde hair, slightly wavy. Eyes - Pale Gray, covered (unfortunately) by glasses
Face - Oval shaped.
Body - Kelsy stands at 5'8 and is lanky as can be. B-cup chest and long skinny legs. Skin tone is Caucasian - slightly paler, thanks to her being more of an indoors type of gal.
[Visual Example - much thanks to Tig for offering to doodle her! ;; ]
Why Caverns:
Without emotional ties to hold her down, Kelsy is able to push aside pesky things like emotions and see the world through a much clearer view. Motherless at a young age and supported by her equally socially challenged father, Kelsy grew up in a home where emotions did not make the person, but the person made the person.
As with Mortalitas (Charonite), there is no room for anything but cold, calculative logic when it comes to problem solving, factoring out emotions in the equation and leaving an empty hole in its place. Detached from emotions and without friends, Kelsy, when compared to caverns, tends to find herself hollow and empty, a hole missing that just can't quite be filled.
