Kennedy Jesswood

History
Kennedy Christine Jesswood was born in Kamloops, British Columbia was supposed to come into the world and join two sweet, modest parents, Owen Jesswood, a high school drama teacher, and Christine Marche, a legal secretary. However, due to severe complications during labor, Christine died before Kennedy was even fully out of her mother's body. She was raised by her grandparents, mostly, since her father was far too devestated to act like a father.

At four, Owen moved to Vancouver since a job to run the art's department at a high school there had opened up. While he worked, Owen enrolled Kennedy in everything he could: singing lessons, violin lessons, piano lessons, dance classes, kid's theatre, anything to keep her busy while he spent his time in the classroom (even after hours). As Kennedy grew up, she continued to pursue all those passions while also bagging groceries part-time and volunteering twenty hours a week at a neighborhood Big Brothers & Sisters program, all of which helped to transform Kennedy into the overachiever she is today.

When she was 15, her dad remarried another widow, Moira Washburn, and she inherited a brother of nearly the same age, Cam Washburn. The two got along swimmingly since Kennedy is so high-strung and Cam is very laid-back. It was her idea for them to both apply to Edgar Allan Poe. Cam was already an incredible dancer who loved to act and Kennedy didn't know what her strength was, but she just loved performing.

Even though, to the eye, Kennedy likes people to think she is perfect due to her constant volunteering, tutoring other students, always being involved in different activities, working as an Usher at the Orioles games, and now being the School President, but Kennedy is a total emotional and mental mess behind the big smile, nude eyeshadow, and cute cardigans. She pushes herself too hard, takes on too many things, gets stressed very easily, and is one commitment away from cracking.

Friendships
Kennedy knows who everyone is, but she isn't actually friends with anyone. She would love to be, but she never makes the time to get to know someone beyond their name and face. Besides, most people find her overachieving nature and peppy attitude to be way too much. The only person she is really close with Cam and that's probably because they have to be, their parents married each other. She does get along well with Raul Rossi, but everyone seems to.
