so!! camila kellen was born in southern california to a single mother, jenna kellen.  jenna was know for being the youngest attorney general of california. woman is smart as hell. she decided to have camila on her own via sperm donor and she worked her ass off while she was pregnant.

so jenna met jynx’s dad while he was on a vacation and they sort of just fell in love when camila was ten. long story short, this love story brought jenna to new york to be w jynx’s dad and run for congress after awhile. camila was.... not happy. 10 year old camila swore she’d move back to socal as soon as she could. she was bitter for about a year but eventually she did find a love for new york. she still misses the shit out of socal tho. (so she’s jynx’s step sister if u didn’t get that)

SO!!!  jenna put her into gymnastics at a very young age for some exercise and just, generally, for fun. camila took to it immediately and... never stopped. jenna never really expected that she would take to it so well and she was actually v against it at first. gymnastics was known to be rough on the mind and body of the athletes and she was scared to let her daughter into that world.

turns out camila was pretty good??? so they saw her love for the sport and let her continue. she ended up hitting the ground running when she hit the elite level in 2014, winning the nationals all around title and the world all around title (and a few medals in apparatuses). she continued on her streak and made the olympic team in 2016!!! her ultimate dream had been realized! her teammates elected her team captain and they won the team gold which was incredible.. and then she went on to win the all around gold and a silver on the uneven bars, gold on beam, & bronze on vault. she was on top of the WORLD!

so, she’s kept training, but she’s stayed out of the competition scene since the olympics as all of the misconduct of usa gymnastics came to light. she’s been quietly staying fit and training hard but she hasn’t publicly announced if she plans to compete in 2019-2020 to go for the olympic team because she isn’t really sure yet.

so when did she start singing?? well it started out as a youtube channel where she could write and sing and decompress from gymnastics... then...

in 2014, after worlds, her singing went viral again. the headlines were: “WORLD CHAMPION GYMNAST HAS ANGELIC VOICE” and that was that... her singing career was officially a thing. so she started working on music seriously inbetween her training. however!! she’s pretty much only done singles bc she’s been busy training

camila is known in the media for being incredibly stubborn and outspoken, as well as being one of the sweetest people around. she does whatever she can to help people, but she absolutely will not let people walk all over her. she’s an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, lgbtq+ rights, gun control, athletes rights, etc etc... she gets a lot of shit in the media for not being the perfect poised politician’s daughter and for dating around and being SO outspoken about politics when her mom is running but she?? doesn’t give a fuck. she speaks for what she thinks is important. period.

wanted plots!!!

platonic soulmate: this person is camila’s ride or die. she would do anything for this person and this person is always her first call when something good or bad happens. they could have been friends for months or years but they’re inseparable.

accidental vegas marriage: wouldn’t this be... wild

will they/won’t they: this person and camila have been flirting publicly and even seen together publicly but they refuse to acknowledge it to the media. they might not even know what they are but it’s clear they’re more than friends.

fwb: someone camila has fun with but it’s nothing more than that

exes: these are people camila has dated... could be on good terms or bad terms

close friends: people camila is pretty close with and talks to about a lot of different things.

ex-best friend: this is someone camila was very close with in the past, but has now grown apart from them. it could’ve been natural or from a big blow out or anything inbetween.

collabs: singers/bands she’s done collabs with!

anything else we can come up with! these are all just ideas!
