Age: 17

Sex: Female

Appearance:


Kenna has long dark brown hair that is naturally curly and pale skin. Her eyes are a pale blue grey and she has delicate features in a heart shaped face. She is five foot four and has a slender build weighing 117 lbs. She spends most of her time in skinny jeans, calf high boots, long T-shirts and her black leather biker jacket. She likes jewellery and is often seen wearing multiple rings and necklaces, regardless of other jewellery she always wears an urn pendent in the shape of a tree that holds some of her father's ashes.

Personality: Kenna comes across as abrasive and somewhat blunt spoken but she isn't being deliberately harsh, she's just used to saying what she thinks as in her family this was the norm. She often feels uncomfortable around people and has always felt happier around animals. She is not completely antisocial but she is a loner and when she does spend time with other people she prefers to do so in small groups as she dislikes crowds. She has a fiery nature and feels things passionately whether it be love or anger, and her emotions are easily readable on her expressive face. She has a sarcastic and very dry sense of humour and people often struggle to tell if she's joking or not.
Due to her abilities she will often appear as though she isn't paying attention or she might laugh suddenly or react to something someone else can't see. This is due to receiving constant communication from the animal kingdom around her. This adds to her discomfort of people as she doesn't always remember to hide such reactions and she knows that most people think she is weird or odd. It doesn't help that she feels a lot of anger, frustration and sadness due to losing her father and being forced to leave the home she loved and adapt to a completely different country and culture.

Powers(advantages):
Enhanced Agility - Her natural agility, balance, and coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits so
she can leap further, dodge quicker, fall from greater heights etc.
Enhanced Senses - Her senses have been enhanced beyond a normal humans. She is capable of seeing with greater clarity and at
greater distances than an ordinary human, and retains this same clarity, even in near-total darkness. Her
hearing is enhanced similarly, enabling her to both hear sounds that ordinary humans can't and to hear at much
greater distances. Her sense of smell is such than she can identify numerous different scents in a way a human
couldn't. She is able to use her sense of smell to track both people and animals.
Animal Communication - She is able to communicate with animals. She doesn't talk to them verbally but instead she receives images
mentally that her mind automatically translates into words.

Powers (Disadvantages):
Enhanced Metabolism - To compensate for her enhanced agility her metabolism has been sped up to more than a normal humans. Unfortunately
this means she burns through energy at a much faster rate and must replace that energy often. Basically she has to
eat more than a normal human or she will become dizzy and weak. If she has used her enhanced agility a lot in a
short space of time then she must eat high energy food immediately after or she will pass out a short time later.
Enhanced Sensitivity - Due to her enhanced senses Kenna is particularly vulnerable to loud noises or bright lights and either can stun her
or render her unconscious if she is subjected to them for an extended time. Particularly strong smells don't
incapacitate her but can confuse her and make her enhanced smell useless.
Enhanced Receiver - Kenna is unable to switch off her communication with animals (the most she can do is push it aside like background
noise) this has caused her to suffer chronic Migraines due to the mental strain. It also means she is particularly
weak to mental attacks such as Telepathy or Mind control.

Biography: Kenna was born and raised in Cromarty a town in the Highlands of Scotland. It was a small port town and Kenna loved it there. She loved the countryside and the wildlife and the people. She was an only child born to her father Connor (the local Veterinarian) and her mother Isla (a schoolteacher) Kenna loved animals from an early age and would often help her father in his work and everyone became used to seeing the vet and his daughter visiting farms and stables all over the area. Kenna was not very close with her mother who was much more strict and exacting and very religious. She was a strict Catholic and expected her daughter to be the same and she disliked her daughters passion for animals and the outdoors. Isla Ross was expected her daughter to behave like a proper girl and not run wild climbing trees etc. Her father respected his wife's beliefs but he also ensured that his wife did not restrict their daughter too much and ensured that Kenna enjoyed her childhood.
A year ago things changed dramatically when her father died suddenly from a heart attack. The shock of losing her beloved father caused her mutation to activate and she went missing in the Highlands for several days before being found. She had been overwhelmed by the sudden change in her body as well as all the images she had begun receiving and the loss of her father. In essence she reverted to an animalistic state during that time and she essentially lived as an animal until found. Kenna was well known in the town and most had liked her and knew her well but those same people were horrified to learn that she was a mutant. The town was a strongly religious community and a large number of the town believed mutants were unnatural and therefore unwelcome. Kenna's mother was one of these people and she made it very clear that Kenna was no longer welcome in her home.
Luckily for Kenna her uncle Iain (her father's brother) had returned home for the funeral of her father and once he was told about Kenna he offered to take her in. Iain lived in America and he soon realised that Kenna needed help to learn about her abilities and how to control them. He arranged for her to attend the school for gifted youngsters. Kenna had just turned seventeen when she joined the school and she is struggling to adapt to another new home. She keeps expecting someone to tell her that she has to leave and go somewhere else.

Other: Kenna has a strong Scottish accent which some Americans find difficult to understand.
Kenna spends most of her free time in the schools grounds with the various animals that live there and unfortunately for her room mate Kenna often ends up with several of them in her room curled up with her.
