{{Tab}}K.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. | {{Tab}}K.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. | ||
{{Tab}}After 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. | {{Tab}}After the move to private school she did much better in class, though still always had a struggle with social interactions.

{{Tab}}K.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. | |||
