 Kalisha Williams
STAR STEALING GIRL It is such a tragedy to fall in love with the stars, only to discover just how much math is required to get to them. Kalisha's solution to this problem was not only to pick up an old telescope in a yard sale, but also to string star-shaped beads along strands of thin wire, to bend them out of metal wire, to glue them along mixed media jewelry... She even owns a rather large glass orb studded with stars, a gift from her father when she was much younger than she is now. If she could not touch them, then she could at least wear them – steal them, in a sense. Her jewelry making remains an hobby, though she is known to give pieces out as gifts, or those in the know will find a few for sale at her mother's craft store if they know to look for them. She will also take commissions... If one is patient with the little star-thief, for you see, her head is more often in the clouds than not.
WAIT, THAT WAS NOW ? Kalisha means well, of course she does, and she is very loving and kind, a good friend for anyone to have... if one can put up with the fact that she will forget things. She will forget a lot of things. To put it nicely, she's a total space case, drifting out into her own thoughts the moment nothing interesting (to her) is happening, and her mother often said, jokingly, that she would forget her own head if it wasn't screwed tight onto her shoulders. She has lost so many things that she's honestly lost count, and most often than not they were gone by the time she remembered to go look for them again.
Kalisha has been like this all her life, and is very keenly aware of this. Therefore, she has attempted her own solutions to counter to her forgetfulness – a messy system of post it notes from her youth was eventually replaced by more efficient technology - her smartphone has becomes her second brain more often than not. Kalisha will double, triple check schedules, her purse, in an attempt to make sure everything she needs is right there... But there's a chance that she will still forget something. She's “talented” like that.
SPACIAL AWARENESS With someone so easily lost in their own thoughts, you'd expect a lot of accidents to happen. And yet... they don't. No matter how unaware of her surroundings she is at the time, Kalisha has never had any lasting harm come to her. It's like she got a radar telling her that this tree is up ahead, and she never fails to move out of it's way at the last moment. She doesn't run into walls, into other people... She always seems to manage to move out at the last possible moment and avoid the incoming catastrophe.
TO SLEEP, PERCHANCE TO DREAM Kalisha always remembers her dreams - or nightmares - with surprising clarity, without needing to note them down. Her dreams are basically video clips she can replay at will, and sometimes they offer very small glimpses of the future - that so called deja vu. These flashes are never whole events, just small bits of familiarly that she can recall having dreamt about before.
ANYTHING ELSE? Kalisha is 23 years old, and lives in an apartment with her roommate, who somehow still hasn't kicked her out yet. Probably because she makes a mean chicken fried rice. Who knows ?
She works at her mother's craft store, and is perfectly happy doing so, to be honest. It's not the most exciting thing in the world, but it let her pays for her rent and food, and she is knowledgeable enough in most crafts, being an artist herself. She will obviously advice jewelry makers best, but knows the basics of most things her mother carries to attempt to steer someone in the right direction. She has given a lesson or two but found that she does not like formal teaching, and would prefer to teach someone one on one, more intimately, as she would focus best on one person than a whole group.
She would love to dedicate herself fully to her art, but she is enough of a realist to know that she doesn't have the skill to really market it herself – it sells decently at the craft store, but there's only so much her mother can carry.
Kalisha is born to two african americans and isn't sure exactly how long either side of her family has been here, but it's been a long time.
Kalisha has a cat, a six years old tabby colored maine coon named Luna. Luna is huge in a way only a maine coon can be, and would like you to pet her. Right now. Right behind the ears. Yesssss... Luna is friendly toward everything and has no concept of personal space. Deal with it. |
