✢ The Character
Character Name: Kenzi
Fandom: Lost Girl
Canon Point: s2 ep6
Age: 22

Appearance: Kenzi is an incredibly smallish female, standing at 5'4". She has a very slender frame, pale skin, and black hair that falls to the middle of her back with ever-present bangs. Her eyes are a silver/blue colour and her clothing choices tend to scream GOTHIC and covered up. She's forever in heels to make up for her short stature.

Abilities / Powers: Kenzi has no powers, but she does have a few abilities. She's a skilled pick pocket that can swipe a watch off a man's wrist while holding a casual conversation with him. Her sticky fingers tend to lift things due to habit more than need, and her cons have fooled many. She's also an excellent liar ... to strangers. Her friends can usually tell.

As far as combat goes, she's a decent shot and pretty okay with a ninja sword. She knows how to throw a punch, but there is little to no power behind it. Unarmed, she is useless in combat.

Inventory: Her clothing (including a leather jacket), "ninja sword", a knife, the throwing star she keeps in her boot, her purple iphone, and a stick of eyeliner. Never leave home without it.

Personality: Kenzi is a fast-talking, street-smart, money-hungry survivor. Hardened from life on the streets, she is one tough little spitfire. She's courageous and speaks her mind whether you want to hear it or not. There is no filter for Kenzi, she's very in your face and almost crude in her mannerisms and language. She's not afraid to pick up a weapon and take on a threat even if she a snowball's chance in hell against them. At times, her bravery gives way to recklessness and her attitude gets her in trouble.

On the surface, Kenzi can be seen as insensitive, uncaring, and sarcastic, but when she really loves someone, like Bo or Trick, she cares deeply. She is fiercely loyal and has her friends' backs no matter what. She would do anything for someone close to her, even if it means risking her life or doing something really illegal.

Actually, she'd probably do something illegal anyway. Kenzi isn't a big fan of rules or laws or authority. She does what she needs to do to survive and that, more often than not, involves taking somebody's money. Money and security are the two most important things to Kenzi other than Bo. Everything she does is to get money with as little effort as possible on her part. This usually involves preying on some poor sap that falls for her made up sob story and good looks. She is a great liar, even if she hates to be lied to.

For someone so constantly hyper and energetic, Kenzi is pretty lazy. She doesn't clean, she can barely cook, and she lives on sugary cereal. She is totally okay with living in a pig sty if it means she doesn't have to do the dishes. Only with constant nagging from Bo will she ever do chores. Playing video games is clearly a much better use of her time.

Lastly, she's had a pretty hard life despite her youth and knows a lot of pain. She is really good at hiding it and bouncing back from traumatic events. She can do a pretty good job of keeping her cool in a tense situation and has gotten used to weird and crazy. It's rare that anything freaks her out after meeting Bo and learning about the fae. She rarely ever cries when people are around her and is usually the emotional rock for those around her. She's wise beyond her years and insanely childish and immature at the exact same time. Basically, Kenzi is too damn smart to be predictable.

History: Kenzi left home at a very early age and little is known about her home life. What we do know is that her step-father was abusive and overly strict. He used to lock her in the closet and she was scared of him enough to nearly invoke an ancient fae called Baba Yaga, but she never finished the ritual. She finally gave her mother a choice and her mother chose her step-father. So Kenzi ran away.

She grew up on the streets, occasionally getting help from extended family but mostly surviving off whatever she could get her hands on. She learned to steal, lie, cheat, and charm her way to a decent meal and a safe place to sleep. One night, while she's picking pockets in a hotel bar, she runs into a bit of trouble after one of her targets spikes her drink and follows her to the elevator. Bo, a succubus, sees the whole thing take place and follows the pair. She gets on the elevator and sucks the would-be predator's life force right out of him before scooping up Kenzi and taking her home.

Bo and Kenzi end up talking and Kenzi learns that Bo has no idea who she is or why she can do what she does. Kenzi doesn't seem all that bothered by it. Unknown to them, they were being watched since the incident at the hotel. Bo gets taken by light fae and Kenzi follows, saving her life by stumbling onto some ancient fae ritual. Bo finally learns what she is and Kenzi decides to help her out. They become roommates and even start a private investigation business that caters to fae and humans alike. From there, they go on many adventures and kick a lot of magical butt!

Kenzi comes from Season two, Episode six where they get a job from the leader of the dark fae, the Morrigan, and run into their old 'friend' Vex.

First Person Sample: Link here
Third Person Sample: Cold, dark alleys are no place for an unchaperoned young lady, even one as tough and street smart as this one just happened to be. The creepy factor was already hitting the roof and the weird shit hadn’t even started yet. Kenzi leaned against the brick wall and stared at her phone. She was practically willing it to ring.

Bo was late.

Check-in time was ten minutes ago and Kenzi was starting to get a bit antsy. Not that she was scared or anything! Psh. Whatever. She could totally handle herself. It was Bo she was worried about. Fae weren’t known to play nice on a good day. Who knows what kind of B-movie, horror crap she was getting her succubASS into.

“Come ooooon. Come on! Just call already. Text. Something!” Stupid phone. Maybe it was broken. Maybe Bo had called four times and the signal was just a piece of shit! Maybe-HOLY HELL!

The crash of garbage cans at the end of the alley cause Kenzi to jump. She pocketed the phone, reaching instead for the knife tucked into her belt. “Bo...?” She called out as she approached the source of the sound. No response. The knife was officially out and at the ready. As soon as this idiot showed himself, he’d get a shanking he’d never forget! Don’t even think about crossing the mighty Kenzi, you...

Alley Cat. Ha. She totally knew it was just a cat all along. It was SO obvious. So... totally...

Stupid cat.

Other: I re-used the third person sample from an app to another game, I hope that's okay. I can redo it if it's not acceptable!
