Character's Full Name: Kenzi (Last name unknown)
Canon Lost Girl
PB/Actor: Ksenia Solo
Character's Starting Level: 2? I'm really not sure for Kenzi. Given she's had no formal training in anything I'd consider it on the low end but life experience (having lived on the streets on and off for 12 years) I'd think above 1.
Character Age: 22
Physical Description: Standing at 5ft4, Kenzi is definitely on the short side, though her love of boots with killer heels raises her up to average height. Her hair is naturally brown but is always dyed black and her chameleon like behavior and a love of wigs has her appearance changing depending on her environment. When at home or just generally being herself, she tends to prefer borderline modern gothic apparel. Boots, jackets and leather or PVC not an uncommon part of her get up. Her skin is naturally pale but is accentuated with make-up, which she is rarely ever seen without. Her pale blue eyes have an ethereal quality to them and can appear almost violet in the right light and are always, always rimmed in heavy black eye make-up
Character's Species/Race (aka human, elf, dragonblood human, etc): Human*.
* Depending on developments in canon it is possible that this may not be completely accurate, however, the canon point was chosen so her status as human could be stated witha degree of certainty.
(AKA. Brooke just tried to give as spoiler free explanation as she could as to why it's possible this could change. It shouldn't, and even if it does, it would slowly be discovered/developed.).
Character History (Pre-Vail): Wikia Link & Other Link.
Post Veil History: After coming through the veil Kenzi fell straight back into the life she'd always known, picking pockets and staying in squats and abandoned subway tunnels in order to survive. She'd only been at it for a couple of weeks when she encountered the Knights, the thief picking the wrong pockets and making away with something that was important to a mission.
Kenzi's appearance makes her a little hard to forget sometimes and at least one of the Knights present remembered the girl sporting an obnoxious, pink wig. They waited staked out the area they'd crossed paths with her before and caught her in the act. A mouthy conversation that amused some and infuriated others turned into a debate over whether to invite her to join the Knighthood... or turn her over to the Police.
Long story short, Kenzi did her very best impersonation of an Angel, swayed enough votes to get her the first invitation and was brought back to London. Be sure that she annoyed the hell out of whatever straight-laced Knight(s) that happened to be on the plane and it was entirely possible that somebody taped her mouth to stop her from talking an hour or two into it.
**I'm really flexible on this front I just loved the idea that she picked the pockets of a Knight.
Chosen Canon Point: Season 3, Episode 6 - End of the episode.
Personality and Psychology: If street-smarts were a marketable commodity, then Kenzi would be a millionaire, and if anyone could find a way to sell this, then it would be her. By the age of twenty-two, Kenzi has seen more of the world and it's harshest realities than most people twice her age. Despite her slight and less than intimidating physique, she has still managed to find a way to survive a life that saw her run away from home for the first time at the age of ten. She herself said that her mother told her to always make friends with the toughest kid in the playground, and though the truth of the origins of that belief may be questionable, it's still a fact that she did exactly that when she befriended Bo after the Succubus saved her from a man who tried to drug and rape her. She has a creative if not dubious way of getting by in life, morally able to justify stealing and running cons in order to get what she needs. She isn't opposed to using blackmail as a means of getting people to do things for her, her own family not immune to her threats, such as the time she threatened her cousin to get information that would help her save Bo.
Despite her penchant for all things criminal, Kenzi isn't a bad person, proving throughout her friendship with Bo that she is willing to sacrifice a great deal for those she loves. She ends her relationship with childhood crush Nate, both in an attempt to protect him from harm and out of a desire to remain by Bo's side in her time of great need. She risked her life in order to save Dyson and again to help Dyson get back that which the Norn took from him. She may well be seen as a tiny ineffectual human by most of the Fae world, but what Kenzi has is heart and that means that nobody should count her out, even when the odds are stacked against her.
Though there are still many unanswered questions about Kenzi's past, it is clear that she endured a difficult, even abusive childhood (at the hands of her Step-father), and though she tells Bo that it was never physical, it was still so terrible that she chose to live on the streets for a time rather than remain in the same house as this man. It is perhaps this difficult life that has led her to use humor and sarcasm (and even her appearance) as a shield against the world. She reveals very little of herself, even to those she is close to and it takes a lot to get Kenzi to open up. She prefers to keep her relationships superficial, but once you do gain her trust, you gain a friend for life.
Kenzi has the ability to adapt very easily to new and unusual situations, finding it almost too easy to slot into the Fae community, despite being seen as a lesser being. She has managed to earn the respect of those Fae that deal with her on a regular basis (Namely Bo, Trick, Dyson and Hale). She does however struggle with being treated like a second-class citizen, though Kenzi will be the first to stand up for herself when there are those who try to put her down.
She appears, on the surface, to have no sense of boundaries when it comes to the personal information of others. Kenzi considers Bo's sexual escapades her own form of entertainment and she almost seems to revel in broaching topics that most deem off-limits. But while she can be blunt about calling a situation as she sees it and likes to get her nose into the intimate details of other's lives, she is one of those rare people that you can trust with a secret, even when you don't ask her to keep it. She is wise enough to judge a situation and can keep her lips sealed if she thinks it serves a greater good to do so, as we see when she hides Dyson's change in circumstances after she visits the Norn and earlier in the series when she refuses to divulge Dyson's true feelings to Bo when they switched bodies.
Despite what can be described as her go get em attitude when it comes to dealing with the more unusual situations in her life, Kenzi is far too lazy for her own good. She doesn't clean unless she absolutely has to and her idea of gourmet cooking is reheating leftover pizza or making a grilled cheese sandwich. Her living area isn't exactly a pig sty, but it's hardly what you would call neat either. It will be decently decorated mind you, you just might not want to ask how she acquired said decor...
When it comes to communication, Kenzi has a very distinct way of speaking, mixing the occasional pop-culture reference with twisting the English language into words that though non existent, make sense in a way that leaves you unsure whether you are more or less intelligent for having spoken with her. She has a knack for being able to lessen a serious situation by using words that thought not intended to demean, make light of what is going on. She is charismatic and when she's mad at you, you definitely know it, not one to hide certain emotions away, even if it will make things awkward.
The only real exception to this rule could be Bo, Kenzi's best friend and partner in crime, or in crime investigation as the case may be. Though there have been times when Kenzi may have felt rejected or abandoned by Bo when she'd become caught up in the Fae World, Kenzi will endeavour to keep those feelings to herself, choosing to work through it in silence most of the time rather than pushing it back onto her friend.
That being said, their friendship is as solid as anything Kenzi has known, both proving time and time again that there is next to nothing they wouldn't do for each other. Kenzi in her own way has brought some order to Bo's life, grounding her in a world that she has been running from since she was a teenager. In turn, Kenzi finally has somebody that is a solid influence on her, somebody who makes her feel like she has a real family and despite the danger she is in just by her close proximity to this woman, Kenzi wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Kenzi has been teaching Bo that no matter how dark things get, life can still be fun, often the one to impart her wisdom on how to deal with what life throws at you, even if her methods are less than savory (such as Kenzi's belief that the best way to get over a man is to get under a new one and that alcohol will fix everything. Or that taking anger out on a car with a crowbar is a healthy and productive form of therapy). Being from two completely different worlds, the friendship shouldn't make sense and yet when you see them together, it's hard to ever imagine them apart.
Her relationships with the other Fae aren't as deep as what she has with Bo, but Trick, Hale and Dyson are very much people that Kenzi considers friends. She and Trick have developed an interesting bond since first meeting, the two having helped each other in many ways that other Fae might find bewildering, given her status as a Human. Trick once gave up an artefact that he had said he would never part with in order to save Kenzi's life and she learned about the truth of his origins long before all but Dyson did. She respects Trick, almost like she might a real father but is also not afraid to call him out, something few people are willing to do, especially when they know who and what he really is.
Her friendship with Hale has never progressed to anything romantic despite some comments to suggest that it should. The two have forged a strong bond based on being the sidekicks to Bo and Dyson respectively. Both have been willing to help each other out in a jam and when Kenzi screws up, Hale is her go to man. She doesn't at this stage see him in a romantic light. Despite their differences (her being human and his being Fae) she sees Hale as her equal and appreciates the fact that he usually treats her as his equal also.
Finally we have Kenzi's relationship with Dyson, which though shaky, is still one of the more pivotal relationships in Kenzi's life. She finds he's mere... maleness infuriating and though it's not entirely his fault, Kenzi does hold Dyson up to a higher standard than others, which means that when he lets her down in some way, he has a longer way to fall. She has proven that no matter what he does, she will be there for him in his time of need, risking her life on more than one occasion to have his back. She understands him better after having switched bodies with him and being able to feel just a ghost of his feelings was enough to help her see the man he keeps hidden from the world. The two have been slowly developing a bond that is almost impossible to put into words, but they both have a great respect for one another, something that has strengthened since the body switch.
If all that isn't enough, it's worth noting that Kenzi is fluent in Russian, a talented artist, a half decent drummer, the queen of the hula hoop, will lift your wallet or watch more out of habit than necessity and can hold more alcohol than any tiny person should ever be able to hold. She's very comfortable when it comes to being who she is, undeterred by the atypically pretty people of the world who might try and pass judgement on her (as we see when she goes undercover in a high school). She knows she's awesome and those who don't recognise, are a waste of her time!
Memories Retained or Lost: Kenzi retains full memories of the Fae world and how it works but has gaps pertaining to the people she knew. For example: She remembers a bartender who gave her a free bar tab but not his name, a kickass succubus but not how close they were. She wouldn't miss the people exactly because she has no strong memories of them but she will miss the feeling of belonging and family she had with them.
Powers and Abilities: Kenzi has basic skills in swordsmanship and the use of a crossbow (As shown in canon) but is by no means an expert.
She's a con-artist and a professional thief which makes her cool under pressure, a great liar and more than capable of lifting your wallet without even noticing.
Kenzi is fluent in Russian... and Pig-Latin. (The latter is totally a talent okay.)
Roleplay Samples
Link to a sample of your character in action: One. Two.
Link to a sample of your prose writing style:
“Your life is always gonna be one big bucket of crazy and you wouldn't have it any other way.” Kenzi takes the bottle and downs what's left. “Otherwise you never would have met me.” A sparkle in her eye as she grabs the other bottle and starts going to work on it with the cork screw.
“Ohhh which one?” Was it really that much of a surprise that Kenzi had more than one friend on a sex island? As much as Bo's sexual endeavors were never off limits to Kenzi, the same could be said in reverse, whether Bo wanted it that way or not. Kenzi passed the now open bottle to Bo and launched across the bed to grab the device, scrolling down the list.
“Don't know her...(Vivian) Well Ken, you already met. He's new. Showed me his penis. I guess that makes us friends now. But not friends” Yeah, she was gonna make sure that one was clear to Bo. “Oh look it's me.... Him (Oliver) I don't know, but wouldn't mind knowing if ya know what I mean...” What, she had eyes, there were no rules against looking. “Don't know him... (Ishida) Ohhh Abby. We love her. She's new. Also, Amazing. She has a toy hippo named Bert. He farts.” Kenzi letting Bo go to town on the wine while she gives her running commentary on the people Bo has been speaking to.
“Ohhh okay. So this, is Derek.” Tapping the screen. “Wanna know something amazing? I'm pretty sure magical junk runs in the species. Total wolfboy. Met him when I arrived on the island a few months ago. Brooding, also a wolf thing, just so ya know.” And then she spies Jon Snow and there's a look that can only be described as Bless on her face. “Oh look. Jon replied. He really wants to hate me but he can't because I'm totally amazing. Also cause we had sex in and alley and he tore my underwear. So hot.”
She scans the rest of the faces and doesn't quite frown, but does look a little surprised. “Heh. I kinda thought Jesse might have hit you up.” He was the friend Kenzi had assumed Bo was talking about, and the friend Kenzi really sorta needed to tell Bo about. “We... live together.” She was trying for casual but it was obvious she was trying a little too hard to be so.
Any other important information (including special inventory items in their possession):
Given her canon point she would have only had the clothes on her back.
Why do you think this character would join/work with the Knights? Kenzi is if nothing else a survivor. She knows the best way to do that is to align herself with the toughest people around. After her time with Bo and the Fae well she also has a real sense of belonging that she would want to have again, even if she might not show it. Also... Because she wants to wear armor and play with swords. That should be considered a legit reason for why she would join.
Do you have a preference for which NPC brought in your character? No preference.
