HISTORY
Kelsey grew up an only child, looked after with the utmost care and love. At a young age Kelsey began to show signs of much more complex learning than her peers in preschool. Simple tasks such as learning her numbers and alphabet were far too easy for the girl. She had begun to understand and actually read while all the other pre schoolers ran around eating glue. Her parents believed that going to a public school or private school would only slow down their daughter’s intellectual progress. So they took the task on themselves, legally following the state requirements they were forced to teach, but also creating much harder curriculum material to fed Kelsey’s ever growing curiosity. She was well rounded in her subjects for the most part, but Kelsey had an affinity for Mathematics and Sciences. Processing numbers and equations came naturally for the young girl.

As Kelsey began to grow her mother, and home schoolteacher, struggled to understand the workload Kelsey begged for. By the time she was ten Kelsey's father had to start writing up her coarse work and grading it when he came home from work. It was then that Kelsey knew her level of intelligence was not a normal occurrence amongst people. Subsequently it was then that Kelsey started to develop her confidence (borderline prideful) nature. Her mother took a back seat on her school life and began to focus her attention on acclimating her daughter into the real world. Scared that Kelsey might loose touch with socializing due to home schooling and her girl’s cleverness, she made Kelsey sign up for community sports throughout the season. Although Kelsey was not the best at the actual sports, the experience taught her that even if everyone was not as smart as her, some people were worth knowing, while others were not worth her time.

It was during one of these community-sporting events that Kelsey learned about another unique trait of hers. During a rather intense fourth quarter of a basketball game Kelsey attempted to shoot a basket, only to be elbowed in the gut by a defensive player. With the wind knocked out of her, Kelsey fell back onto the court and missed her shot completely. Overcome with anger, a rush of flames burst from her palms to scorch the wooden floor (leaving her hand prints) as well as her hands. Kelsey was rushed to the hospital to treat the burns on her hands. After trying to find a rational and scientific reasoning behind the phenomenon Kelsey continued to experiment with her emotions to cause a similar effects. It wasn’t long before a suspicious looking man and woman knocked on the Hennessy door. They were scouts for the Academy looking to enroll Kelsey into the school to better control her gift. Her parents were hesitant about having their daughter leave them, but Kelsey was adamant about facing this new challenge. Going to the Academy was a step backwards for Kelsey in terms of how hard the academics were, but the new obstacle of manipulating fire was enough to keep her sane. Since going to a school with other students, Kelsey has improved on interacting with people closer to her age. The downside was that the Academy was open to all sorts of people and she was now forced to share a space with people she wouldn’t normally want to associate with. This has caused her to become a bit of a bully towards people she does not like. Kelsey sees them as a inferior and perfect targets for unapologetic wit.

RP SAMPLE

Despite her tiredness, or perhaps due to it, because there was so much on her mind, Kelsey slept restlessly. The first conscious thought she voiced was 'It's my birthday.' The second thought, after an appropriate pause: Fuck. Swiping her phone up, she checked the time and disabled today's alarm tone that was due in another three quarters of an hour. Breakfast was served at the cafeteria from 8 a.m., lessons started at 9. Sometimes, she wasn't sufficiently hungry to crave breakfast, and more often than not, set her alarm at 8 because she literally spent a whole hour showering, dressing, and generally getting ready and fussing over her appearance didn't like being late.

This time, she spent less than half an hour doing all those things, but she wanted to catch Alice at her dormitory before she left it. It was rather inconvenient that their dorms weren't in the same building, but then, she shouldn't complain; most of the dorms were spacious, and each student got a bedroom, study area and small bathroom suite all to themselves. Whoever founded and funded this academy must have had a lot of money to spare.

Right, let's see. She looked himself up and down to ensure she hadn't missed a vital part of her daily dress - like her skirt. Crisp white shirt, scarlet silk tie, blue-grey woollen vest, Samsbrooke's trademark blue-and-red blazer, gold watch on her wrist... (and to clarify, she hadn't forgotten her skirt). In cooler weather, she would have donned a sweater and scarf as well. Not all students conformed as strictly to the dress code as she did, preferring to go for a more casual approach, and today she was more of a stickler than usual. She had to look smart on her birthday, after all, didn't she? She was officially eighteen. She squinted intently at her own reflection in the mirror above her sink, ... knowing that she looked no different today from yesterday. Nothing in her girlish features - the lucid virtue glinting in her eyes, the gentle set of her cheekbones and mouth and eyebrows, the fair and blemishless state of her skin... nothing had changed. Hell, her hormones were messed up anyway. Maybe she really would stay like this forever. (Well, obviously not, but the thought was entertaining.)

Another thing she hadn't complained about to Alice yesterday was her fear of growing old. The deterioration of her mental faculties was not an appealing thought, and though it wouldn't happen for a while yet, soon enough, it would commence. Her mind was precious and needed to be taken care of, even more so than her physical appearance. Either way, she returned to focusing on the physical aspects right now; she brushed at her hair with a hand, first shifting it into her eyes then shifting it out, never really sure how it looked the best. Maybe it was getting a bit long. But then, Alice's hair was still a bit longer than hers, after all.

Tiring of analyzing herself, Kelsey left her dormitory and made her way to Alice's. She'd never been there before, but knew its exact location. Once she got there, smiling to herself, she leaned against the wall outside the room, settling in and waiting for Alice to emerge, however long it took. Patience: she had it. Going there this early in the morning - it wasn't yet 8 a.m. - might have some drawbacks. She wasn't sure on what time Alice ordinarily awoke, and although her morning experiences with her were fairly limited, she wouldn't put it past her to be the sort of person who was... well, a morning person. But Kelsey had her reasons for being here at this time rather than waiting to meet up with her later... A) Getting birthday wishes as early as possible would be nice; B) she wanted to minimise the chances of Alice doing something to surprise her; and C) she wanted to take advantage of her unprecedented control over her as soon as possible.
