OVERALL PERSONALITY:

For a girl that has seen a lot of pain in her life, Kennedy tends to have a very upbeat personality. She always like to be in a good mood and doesn’t like when people try to bring her down. She’s not the smartest girl in the class, but she’s not stupid either. She will pay attention if the subject interests her, but if it doesn’t she’ll act as though she doesn’t care. She usually always has a smile on her face and is always trying to have a good time.

She doesn’t talk a lot about her personal life with her friends because she doesn’t want them to know about her past. She usually tries to keep certain things hidden, and has only told one person about what has happened to her in the past, her best friend. She’s the only person that Kennedy has ever felt truly comfortable enough with to tell all her secrets too. Kens doesn’t trust easily, though she does like to make a lot of friends. It takes a lot to break through her barriers and get to know the real her.

Kens is a party girl through and through. She will always be the person looking for the next party, or the next drink. Sometimes she indulges herself a little bit too much and she does have a tendency to sleep around a bit too much. Her drinking does tend to be a bit of a problem, but its her way of filling a void that is inside of her, even if it only lasts a little while. She’s not a violent person, she’s more of the love drunk than anything.

HISTORY:

Kennedy’s life started out fairly normal, just like anyone else you’ve ever met. She had two loving parents, that seemed to be the ‘it’ couple in their high society roles and she was the perfect daughter. Her father was a well-known District Attorney in Vegas and her mother was a freelance attorney and the two weren’t around much. And as she got older, the more they were around the more they would fight. The more they would fight, the more they would drink and the more she would escape to her room.

Everything was okay until one night when both of her parents were drunk, she got hungry and slipped downstairs for something to eat. Her mother caught her trying to sneak in a snack, when there was a strictly policy about no snacks after eight o’clock in their household. That was the first time that she hit Kennedy. She slapped her across the face and literally dragged her back to her room. She could hear her parents arguing after that, right outside of her door.

That was the same night her father came in to her room, sat down on her bed and stroked her hair, telling her that it was okay, her mother didn’t mean it. That was the first night that he molested her, she tried to tell him no – cried like no tomorrow, but that didn’t stop him. Every night after that he would come in to her room and do the same thing to her. When she tried to tell her mother, she didn’t want to hear it. She thought Kennedy was lying to get attention and would beat her and lock her in her room for the rest of the night.

Every night Kennedy would like awake praying that she would wake up from the nightmare, but she never woke up. She had to live with the reality that it was all real, that the two people who were supposed to love her unconditionally were hurting her like this. Her father told her that as his daughter it was her duty to appease him – no matter what. Her mother refused to believe anything Kennedy told her, called her a liar and told Kennedy that it was sick of her to make up such fantasies about her father.

This all continued until one night when Kennedy’s mother walked in on Marshall Tenley having sex with his sixteen year old daughter. Geneva Tenley went absolutely mad. She attacked Marshall, and threw everything she could get her hands on at him. Once he was unconscious. Geneva turned her attentions to her daughter. Kennedy was lying in her bed, crying hysterically with her sheet wrapped around her body. Instead of coming to her daughters aid Geneva accused Kennedy of seducing Marshall. It wasn’t long before she was hitting, punching and kicking Kennedy around her own room.

By the time Geneva left her room, Kennedy was half-conscious. She was able to get to her phone and call 911. She told them everything she could manage to get out before her mother returned. This time she had a knife. Her mother had literally blew a gasket of some sort and stabbed her husband and then turned her gaze to Kennedy who was still trying to talk to the dispatcher on the phone, she stalked over to her daughter and stabbed her right between the shoulder blades.

Once the cops arrived Marshall and Kennedy were both still alive and Geneva was rocking in the corner her hands covered in blood muttering under her breath. The EMTs were mounting her on to the truck as her mother was being dragged out of the house screaming. Her last words to Kennedy were, “I’m going to get out and I’m going to kill you.”

Once Kennedy was healed up from the stab wounds and the beating, she had to testify against her own parents in court. She couldn’t even look at them. As soon as it was all over, she was placed with her guardians, Julia and Nathan Stone. She spent the next year or so rebelling against everything and anything. She partied, she drank, she did drugs and she slept around. Her life was flipped upside down when she got the news that her mother had been released from the psych ward that she had been staying in. It was then that the Stone family left Las Vegas and moved to Trenton, California.
