K.C.

Can't stop the signal.
Introduction xxxxxEndlessly curious, rather sociable with a staggering lack of social awareness to go with it. History xxxxxK.C.'s life has been staggeringly normal, in most respects. The younger of two children born in Jersey to a pair of doctors (her father a dentist, her mother an oncologist), her parents had planned to have one more child but changed their minds when K.C.'s developmental delays ended up taking up too much of their time and energy to balance careers plus one more kid. K.C. excelled in some subjects but was at a loss in others; frequent classroom outbursts and trouble with interactions with the other children, too, led her parents to switch her in third grade to a private school where she could get more of the focused attention she needed. xxxxxAfter the move to private school she did much better in class, though still always had a struggle with social interactions. Still, life was pretty okay; she got along well with her older sister and had enough school-and-extracurricular interests to keep her occupied. When she was eleven her parents split up -- it was an amicable break, and her father moved to the Upper West Side, where she and her sister still saw him frequently. She moved from one private school to another for high school. The adjustment was difficult for her, never good with change, and it was further complicated by the onset of her mutation in her first year. It took a while for anyone to figure out what was going on with her -- her usual tics and idiosyncracies were becoming pronounced, her outbursts and upset more frequent, her attention scattered in school, and at first they just assumed it all had to do with her rather expected difficulties adjusting to her new school. xxxxxThe growing unrest in the city and anti-mutant sentiments together with K.C.'s difficulty in understanding which things were safe to say and not say made this exceptionally difficult, though, and bullying from the other students as well as hassle from the other parents made attending school harder. xxxxxXavier's school's announcement in the news was like a godsend for her family. They wasted no time in contacting the school -- and while she may not have been the most dire of cases, the fact that they could afford to pay tuition in full likely helped with securing her a spot for this upcoming fall, where she is poised to enter the sophomore class. Powers xxxxxDescription of your character's powers. Skills xxxxxK.C.'s skill repertoire is not impressive. She has studied piano since elementary school and is quite good at playing and sightreading music. She likes having things to do with her hands; she enjoys knitting and crotchet as busywork hobbies and makes jewelry, which started out a hobby though these days her etsy store gives her a comfortable amount of spending money (given that all her actual bills and necessities are paid by her parents.) She has a fascination for how things are constructed and loved woodshop in school; she enjoys carpentry and building things. She does much better with animals than with people and has volunteered extensively with rescue groups; work in a wild animal rescue has given her a fair bit of experience with caretaking all manner of creatures.

Trivia Has a therapy dog with her at school, a two-year-old pitbull whose name is technically Henrietta although mostly she is called Suga Mama. Takes a jog in the morning before class, eats all her meals at the same seat in the cafeteria every day, walks her dog on a punctual schedule, practices piano in the music room at the same time several evenings a week. it's usually pretty easy to figure out where she is going to be at certain times.
