ย TDLR:ย ย hello hello !! iโm happy to be here & excited to get writing with yโall !ย kenz is a long loved muse of mine &ย iโm glad i get to develop her more in this lovely group. sheโs a small town girl who ran away to make a name for herself in the music industry. the good news is that she can happily say,ย โmama, i made it!โ & bad news is that sheโs lost touch with her roots along the way. has almost totally lost herself to the glitz, glam, &ย highs of being known & itโs taking its toll. if you were to compare kenz now to the kennedy she was before she made it big, youโd be looking at two completely different girls. sheโs undecided about whether thatโs a good thing or a bad thing but sheโs out here vibing regardless. mssg me for plots anytime, i love screaming about characters & musings <3

born & raised in new jersey with her parents & older half-sister. there wasnโt much to do in theย small, coastal city she grew up in & everyone knew everyone. the highlight of her youthful years was when her family would take trips to new york city. kennedy took to the more populous city quickly & dreamed of moving there one day
her mother was a middle school music teacher. with her influence, both kennedy &ย her sister developed an appreciation & talent for playing instruments. she can play piano, trumpet, guitar, & the bass ( some considerably better than others )
she spent a lot of her free time daydreaming &ย scribbling in her personal journal full of poems turned song lyrics. her wildest fantasies consisted of making a living as a musician-- playing live shows, selling out big arenas, & going on major tours around the world. she wanted to escape her small town & live the rockstar life
when she was seventeen, straight out of high school, she moved to new york & never looked back. she didnโt have much to her name, just a determination to make something of herself in the music scene. she started introducing herself as kenz, liking how edgy it felt in comparison to her given name-- consider it a personal rebrand &ย the start of a completely new chapter
after trial & error with a bunch of different sounds &ย bands, kenz found her people in the form of the fellow members of heatstroke
they were a hit at basement shows all around nyc, occasionally booking gigs at popular dive bars to expand their audience beyond music snobs who prided themselves on knowing the groupย โbefore they went mainstreamโ
their build up to commercial success was gradual, taking many years, but kenz loved every minute of it. it was fulfilling to be a part of the group & working towards making her dreams come true
getting an offer to sign with a label as notorious as revolution recordsย was a true pinch me moment for the girl. she was eager to go big time & did her best to encourage her bandmates to do the same. the deal came with a price, though. executives highly suggested that the band take on a new frontman, a popular singer who was already signed with the label. they assured the band that it would only elevate their sound & popularity, though there was some hesitantency from the already established group
kenz in particular was torn by the proposition. for so long, she had acted as the lead singer & guitarist of the group. she wasnโt particularly showboat-y about her position, but it didnโt feel great to be so easily replaced with someone more popular & upbeat. it caused a newfound flurry of insecurities. but she pushed them aside & still vouched that it was a fair price to pay to be signed to one of the best labels in the world
itโs been an interesting transition with the newest addition to the group. their sound as changed slightly as a result, but the heart is still there. & kenz still loves what she does & loves that they can reach an even bigger audience now, opportunities coming out the wazoo now that the band is properly represented. sheโs just finding a way to feel comfortable in her demoted position & trying to remain grateful despite it all
for personal sound/voice, i consider singers like aleesia cara & tinashe
personality-wise, sheโs got a serious facade going on. growing up she was quiet, introverted, & considered anti-social by most. but sheโs learned to put herself out there more through traversing the music scene &ย adapting to new york culture. itโs giving hannah montana-- kenzย is like a persona that comes to life on stage. but kennedyย is still that stand-offish girl who would rather stay in her room with her guitar than go out to any party
her social battery runs low quick, so sheโs known for dipping early from gatherings or making up sorry excuses not to go all together. sheโs also notoriously late to everything. itโs just how she is as a person, definitely not a diva thing, she just has terrible time management skillsย & refuses to take the necessary steps to work on it
incredibly evasive when it comes to the public knowing anything about her personal life. is prone to making up stories in interviews just to keep the truth from being known to the masses, or just supplying one word responses which force the person asking to just move on. she doesnโt like to be truly perceived, & likes to consider herself mysterious to fuel her main character of a coming of age movie complex
sharing music is her love language. will make you a dozen playlists as a means to expressing her deeper feelings
not very tech savvy & is hardly ever posting on social media. i imagine that the PR person for her & the band has to practically beg her to post anything for engagement purposes or just has kenzโs log in info to post on her behalf
outside of music, some of her interests are drawing, trying new foods, collecting vintage clothing, & petting bodega cats

celeb crush ; i just think it would be funny if two artists had an ongoing thing were they donโt stop gushing about each other in public. just simply each otherโs #1 fans. an interviewer asks who their celeb crush is & without hesitation they say each other. thereโs compilations online of themย โbeing in love for 5 minutes straightโ. it could be a bit the two have come up with, actually being really good friends who think itโs amusing to mess with the media & fans. or maybe they actually donโt know each other well & it all started by one gushing without ever thinking the other would hear it
jam session buddy ; grab your favorite instrument & warm up your singing voice because weโre having a jam session babyyyy. just some homies playing music for the fun of it, probably shamelessly taking up one of the sound proof rooms at hq to play to their heartsโ content. if theyโre both artists, maybe they swap instruments & play horrible renditions of each otherโs songs. if the other is an employee, maybe kenz tries to teach them guitar or something. could be fun & wholesome
opposites attract ; according to all known laws of attraction, there is no way that these two should be friends. they seemingly donโt have anything in common & most take one look at them & think theyโre an unlikely duo. this pair, of course, are friends anyway because they donโt care what anybody else thinks
rivals ; a little healthy competition never hurt nobody. they push each other to be better while sending glares at each other across the room. itโs a little silly to see each other as a threat, they basically play on the same team. but itโs kinda fun being adversaries just for the hell of it
muse ; kinda cheesy but kenz would totally be taken with someone, either she actually knows them well or is simply infatuated by the idea of them, & find herself writing lame fluffy poetry about them or dedicate lyrics &ย songs to them. in her head, at least. sheโd probably never admit it aloud that they inspire the most soppy shit from her
sibling like relationship ; i am simply a sucker for this dynamic. the found family vibes with a hint of protectiveness & endless banter between two people that know each other like the back of their hand. gimme gimme the brotp of my dreams, thank you kindly
more ideas ; ride or die, ex - friend, confidant, crush ( in the present, the past, and/or unrequited ), mentor/mentee, exes on good terms, exes on bad terms, secret hook - up, social media friends, party buddies, bad influence, good influence, pr stunt ( affectionate or derogatory ), friends from home who knew her before the fame got to her head, idk how to describe but itโs a little awkward because theyโve definitely met before in passing but kenz seems to not have made a big enough impression because they keep introducing themselves to her like itโs the first time they met & sheโs too nervous to correct them so she just lets it happen
