Kell Braumeister

Woodsy Artist

Kell is almost always found in the woods with her sketchbook. She relates more to animals than humans. Her high intelligence could take her far, but she would rather stay home and make art.

Wikipedia is not a source


Kell looks down on anyone she thinks has a lower intelligence than her, which means she pretty much looks down on everyone. Very confident and stubborn, she will argue a point until either the other person gives up, or she is proven wrong with multiple sources. Being right is more important than being nice, but leads to very few friendships.

Kell's birth family mocked her intelligence. She was not allowed to speak to people often, and her parents did not put her in school at age 5. Not introduced to school until 8, she was constantly made fun of for her twangy accent, her fits when she was frustrated or made to touch another student, and her know-it-all attitude. She grew very sensitive to anyone using the term stupid or dumb. Taken from school at 11, her adoptive parents facilitated this by sheltering her from social contact, and by constantly complimenting her on her intelligence.

She doesn't see herself in the wrong, which leaves her perplexed after each conflict. She really wants friends, she just hasn't quite found anyone who can be patient enough with her or willing to agree she is right all the time. Small talk with no real goal comes easily to her, but she hasn't mastered valuing other's opinions yet. She has overheard several of the college students in town. Their conversations pique her interest, but she has yet to get the courage to speak with them. Her socialization tends to go south quickly, so the people she wants to speak with most, she avoids so she won't ruin the chances. When spoken to by another, she seems to do well, so she now tries her best to let others steer the conversation.

After an altercation between her parents, and many arguments with her mom, Kell has enrolled in a few classes at the community college. She is resistant to the core, but it isn't worth bad blood in the family.

Strike a Pose


When sketching animals from afar, they always seem to stay still just long enough for her to finish.

More on Kell


Kell was raised by Gaus and Clara Braumeister. Standing about 5'8" and weighing 140 she is very thin. Her athleticism has given her a decent muscle tone. Her red hair is always cropped short and she prefers camo shorts and dark tee shirts. She was found wandering the woods at the age of 8 in St. Augustine by Gaus on a hunting trip. After a few days of questioning and medical treatment, it was determined she had not been maltreated, but no one could get her to tell them where she came from. All she would say was that she didn't like it there and would not go back. She was placed in foster care while they looked for her parents. No one ever came forward, but they used medical records to find her identification. There was a huge deal on the news in Florida when the birth parents claimed they didn't even know their child was missing. Both were convicted of negligence and abandonment, but the publicity made life very rough for Kell. She was put into school a grade behind to catch her up, but tests showed that she was more than capable of being in her age group. She hated being touched and refused to look the other kids in the eyes. She would be bored immediately after finishing her work, and would often get in trouble for taking the pass and wondering the halls. Kids made fun of her speech, her fits, and her smarts. Most of all they teased her for not being wanted by her parents. It took 2 years for her father to adopt her, and upon doing so, they moved to Ashdown to give her a fresh start.

They moved to a peaceful cabin on the bay, within trail distance of Rider-Waite State Park. They put her in school for another year, but she could not get along with the kids here either. Gaus removed her from public school when they told him she would have to be in an ESE class. In doing so, Kell did not have much interaction with others her age at all. Without the distraction of a class environment,Kell earned her GED at the age of 14. She is uncertain where her education will lead her. Trying to stay out of trouble for her parents' sake, she does not travel into town much. Clara often pushes her daughter to find a career she can show off her intelligence in, like the medical field she employs.In an attempt to get her to socialize, Clara often finds little classes or clubs at the community college to try and enroll her in. Kell herself has considered applying to the forestry service, but she does not have the requirements for internship nor work. She is much more comfortable in the woods with animals. For now she is content with selling her art on Etsy and in town when she can.
