History:

The youngest of two children, 'Kenna' grew up in a middle-middle-class family in Northwest Philadelphia. She had a great relationship with her brother, 'Miles', who was two years older than her. Her relationship with her parents was alright. They only knew how to cope with things by yelling; but other than that they were average parents. She was never terribly popular or ever interested in becoming it, therefore she only had a few friends.

Pre-story, 'Miles' managed to set her up with 'Gabriel Oak', their neighbor and his friend. 'Kenna' had been crushing on him from afar for quite some time, so you can imagine how (quietly) pleased she was when they started dating. Unfortunately for her, 'Gabriel' turned out to be a real p***k. He was manipulative, mean-spirited, and posessive with a drug/partying/andalcohol addiction... but 'Kenna', being the way she is... stayed with him. She had liked him for so long and was still so glad to be with him that she ignored all those things for a long time. The only time he ever physically harmed her was the last time she saw him before she time-traveled' when she finally tried to break up with him and he was really, realllllyyy drunk. But as you can imagine, he hurt her mentally and emotionally. Not a good relationship.

Two months prior to the story, her mother's mother died, and her parents flew to Greece to take care of her grandfather, so she moved in with 'Miles', who was then 19.

The morning before she time-traveled she got a call that the friend's house 'Miles' had been sleeping over at had completely burned down. They had found the friend's remains, but not 'Mile's', not yet. But there was no way he would have made it.

That night 'Gabriel' walks with her to a WaWa to get something to eat. He's his normal insensitive selfand she finally sees that, and she tries to end it with him. He doesn't take it too well (he's quietly wasted), and she has to run away across a road.

Where she's hit by an eighteen-wheeler.

She would have died, if she had stayed in the 21st century. Lucky for her, she didn't.


Personality: Very easily annoyed, irritated, and/or angered. She's very realistic, almost to a pessimistic degree. (That sound strange, but whatever.) She's very quick-thinking when she needs to be, especially when she needs to invent a lie. 'Kenna' is smarter than average, but she isn't a genius. She has a deep sense of loyalty.

In the right circumstances, noble. But only if she has to be.

She likes to think of herself as calm, cool, and collected; a tough girl who doesn't take anyone's s**t. For the most part, she acts that way. Privately, she's insecure in the worst way. And when it came to 'Gabriel', she had just wanted him so badly and was so glad when he finally wanted to go out with her/wanted her as a girlfriend, she would do whatever he wanted. That's one of her dangerous flaws- around someone who, like 'Gabriel', wants her and she wants them, she loses integrity and her values. She's a little girl who wants to please.

But for the most part, she's a reliable, smart, bitchy, disgruntled and loyal Misplaced hell-bent on getting home.
