-- NICKNAMES: Ken

-- PERSONALITY !

-- FRIENDLY: Kennedy’s always been friendly, even in times when she’s completely shut down, feeling second best, and backed away from everyone she still did her very best to be polite and kind to those who broke through her many walls. It isn’t in her nature to be cruel to someone for no reason. Why should she treat others like dirt when in turn she doesn’t want to be treated that way? Some people don’t believe this to be a true trait of Kennedy’s, considering how she up and left everyone she called a friend for her education.

-- UNIQUE: Marching to the beat of a different drum, eccentricity, unconventional; all ways to properly describe Kennedy’s personality. She has always been the offbeat sidekick to everyone else’s shiny glory. And truth be told? She’s never really minded being that person. In fact, there are times when she still wishes she was that offbeat sidekick. Lately she’s become more of a single entity, standing on her own. Where her friends might think that the perfect night out involves a few drinks and dancing, Kennedy would rather sit at home reading a book or go shopping at a thrift store. Not everything has to be loud and flashy to be entertaining. But sometimes the tables are turned. She never really seems to be on the same page with everyone else.

-- INCOMPLETE: It take a lot to consider a person broken, to take what someone once was and tear it into pieces and glue it back together with different things and change them. But it happened to Kennedy, she had been torn to bits. The bubbly high school student she was well known as had been buried deep inside and on the surface she sported a mature person who didn’t allow herself to dwell on the past. Instead she moved as far from it as possible. Leaving Wes felt like ripping herself in half. But it had to be done. Normally Kennedy wouldn't believe that breaking up with someone could change you but she had experienced it personally.

-- LOVES: Jelly beans, jones soda, spring, music magazines, thrift stores, coffee shops, independent films, fast food, good music, good guys.
-- HATES: Alfredo sauce, high heels, snow, movies about cops, meaningless newpaper articles, porn, tru tv, big birds, mushrooms, bug-eye sunglasses.

-- HISTORY !

Kennedy York was the first born child of Bethany and John York, a couple who had only been married for a few years before welcoming a child into the world. They didn’t stay married much longer either. Kennedy was probably seven when her parents split for good. No normal child was as ready to accept divorce the way she was. Maybe it was because she knew her parents didn’t get along or because she wanted everyone to be happy. Either way, it didn’t hit her hard until much later. Probably around the time she was in middle school and really started getting friends. Before then she’d just been the little weird girl whose only friend was the boy who lived across the street. Everyone else’s parents were together, or just discovering that divorce was an option. It was then when she realized what divorce really meant. Her parents wanted nothing to do with each other.

She couldn’t honestly say that later in life this troubled her relationships any. As she grew up she made friends, great friends, who she attached herself to. Alyson Kent ruled Kennedy’s life for ages, not that she really cared. She didn’t mind being the sidekick. It was in high school when that kind of changed. Alyson was dating someone Kennedy had feelings for, or thought she did, and she didn’t acknowledge Kennedy at all while she used him. It was only after they had broken up that Kennedy learned the relationship wasn’t real but instead a cover for Alyson’s real boyfriend, the socially unapproved of Finn Heaton. By that time Kennedy no longer had feelings for the boy Alyson used and realized that really he was just a way to ignore those she had for that darling boy across the street, Wesley King. While her friendship with Alyson was recovering her romance with Wesley was growing. They were true-blue soul mates.

But finding your soul mate so young can often be a problem. Your dreams and aspirations don't always go hand in hand and there are often decisions to be made that don't always have answers you can agree on. So when it was time for Kennedy and Wesley to make those sorts of decisions their relationship ended up dissolving and Kennedy left for Boston to go to school. And, in turn, broke free of all the people holding her back. But that doesn't mean she was ever scarce in Capeside or that Capeside wasn't her destination as soon as school was done because she's been right at home ever since.
