Hobbies:Small-time vigilantism - Even without powers, Kayla is the type to take matters into her own hands when she sees people being bullied or otherwise abused. When she was young, she was the kid who stood up to the bullies, and that has continued up till now. She has been known to walk bullied kids home from school and to have sternly-worded talks with their tormentors. It's the common tendency for the talks to end in slapping or fisticuffs that landed her in St. Mag's, though. One particular incident resulted in her breaking the nose of and seriously bruising a younger boy who had been particularly nasty to a little girl. (To be fair, the corporal punishment is reserved for the older ones, but it's no less problematic.) It also didn't help that the fights got more frequent as she got older, and they tended to set off chain reactions of people coming to try and take her down (through bullying that led to more fights or full-on fights from the beginning).
Fixing and Building Things - Kayla is keenly aware of the tendency of things to break, so naturally, she must learn how to fix them. She takes a certain pride in being able to put some things back together all by herself, and has considered selling her services for a little extra cash. Google is her best friend when looking for the how-tos, but once she finds that she can get straight to fixing. She also has a fondness for building things like models when she can get them; she experimented with clay modeling for a time.
Bargain Hunting - Money gets a bit tight in the Lee household from time to time, but things still need to be bought. As a result, Kayla is constantly checking for sales and special offers. She even clips coupons, sometimes for extended periods of time (it's a menial task that helps keep her mind off things). If it says "sale" on it, she's going to want to at least investigate it. She loves going to flea markets, garage sales, and cultural markets when they spring up. If she feels a price is a bit out of her range, she will try to haggle, though she knows when to back down and just take things for the listed price.
Virtues:Honorable - "Honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions" is a suitable definition of honor for Kayla. She just about never covers her true intentions, and she'll never employ any underhanded tricks, even in battle. As a result, all of her cards are effectively on the table at all times. It's possible that it makes everything she does very telegraphed, but she finds that experiences are most rewarding when everyone is given a fair shake.
Compassionate - Kayla is very understanding of people and their worries. When she sees someone who's feeling down, she puts her efforts towards cheering them up. She'll help out in any way she can, and she's a particularly good listener when people need to vent or are looking for a second opinion on something. She may not always be able to offer suggestions, but she will be there for a person.
Reliable - Need an extra hand? Call on Kayla! She is just about always there when she's needed, somehow, and she's always happy to help. She makes a point of being timely to her appointments and trying to be consistent. She puts a lot of time into helping people around her, whether it's by fixing things or doing a little lifting or just talking to them. Once you say you'll need her for something, she'll be ready and waiting for you to call on her.
Flaws:Rigid - Kayla's rules aren't just her rules. They are the only rules that make sense and therefore the only rules that anyone should follow. She has difficulty accepting that there are other ways to do things in the world than what she does. She can be outspoken about how she thinks things should be done and may harp on how she thinks things are being done wrong. She'll also complain about having to do something different than what she's used to. When confronted with a different set of rules than what she's used to, her surprise is evident, and it takes her a while to adjust and adopt the new rules. There is no specific, easily-definable time period for adjustment aside from "eventually." One day she'll just start acting under the new rules, probably without even realizing the change in her patterns. She will never explicitly admit that her mind has been changed. In this sense, she's a bit of a black-and-white thinker.
Aggressive - Though Kayla isn't one to pick on just anyone, there are times when it's clear that she's bristling for a fight or some sort of conflict. It's the little things that would tip a person off, like a baited question or a slight brusqueness. If she has a bone to pick with you, she will pick it just about every time she sees you. There are some fights she just wants to start, though there's often a reason for wanting to start that fight, even if it's a small one. The severity of the fight depends on the severity of the infraction; a dirty look will probably result in some questioning and that's it, but if you shove her, she'll chase you down, demand an apology, and maybe shove you back. It's possible that, after so many years of taking it upon herself to hunt down troublemakers, she's been almost permanently set on high alert, and that's why she's so aggressive.
Won't let go - When Kayla latches onto a grudge or someone's perceived wrongdoing, she will never, ever let it drop. It is nigh-impossible to completely change her impressions of you. Sure, the initial impression might get covered up if you manage to do something really impressive, but to her you'll always be that person that did that one thing. Even once you've left the room and the topic is dropped, if you've done something she deems interesting (in a good or bad way), she'll bring it up again and again till she's reached a satisfactory conclusion about it (and even then, she might not stop). It can reach the point of harassment, depending on what the incident was; if you did something bad, she will grill you on it repeatedly, but if you did something good, she'll sing your praises.
