Name: Simplicity Kennedy
Age: 23
Birthday 30/10
Gender: Female
Hometown: Anaheim California
Face Claim: Emma Stone
Nationality: Scotch-Irish American
Languages Spoken: English, a little Spanish
Description:
Simplicity could easily be mistaken for a girly girl. She wears skirts, tank tops and heals whenever she can and is almost always seen wearing make-up. Anyone that takes her for weak though is in for major trouble. She has been called a “Small but Mighty” since she’s a 5’ 4” powerhouse that packs a mean punch. While she may not look very strong she can hold her own in most fights. She isn’t the covergirl but she ain’t hard on the eyes either.
Skills:
Can field strip and clean a weapon if she has enough familiarity with it, as well as fire it.
Some experience with cosmetology.
Decent at fishing, given the proper tools.
Personality:
Two words come to the mind of those that know Simplicity: Blunt and Attitude. She may not own the room when she walks in it but you know she is there. Whatever is on her mind will eventually pass over her lips, and not always in the nicest of ways. This alone would probably sour relations but Simplicity is also capable of wittiness and charm. In fact she is a tad bit manipulative, but she only uses her powers for the forces of good or entertainment.
Simplicity is very resourceful, and she is never unarmed. She knows that keys can do damage and to take out her earrings before a fight starts. When it comes to traps she can usually avoid them or find a way out of them. She credits that to watching too much MacGyver when she was little. Despite her television habits she is also credited as being the leader among her friends. Thinking most logically and able to make the best decisions. Then again, give the group of friends she has, that may not be saying much.
Bio/History:
Originally born in Anaheim California, Simplicity and her mother moved around the United States looking for steady work. Mrs. Kennedy seemed just as fixated on finding her daughter a good male role model but neither seemed to work out much, and she gave up on the role model bit when she found the girl’s uncle teaching the eight year old how to fire a shotgun. Heading back out west they found a small apartment near the restaurant her mom found a job while she looked for a second one.
The move back gave Simplicity a chance to discover the culture and music scene in the area. She especially took to the Rockabilly sound and style. While she didn’t have long to grow in the style she kept her love of music. When the war started, her mother packed up and they fled back to their family in Tennessee. Turned out having a group of paranoid, heavily armed relatives wasn’t such a bad thing in the case of alien invasion. During the first few years of the war her Uncles, Aunts and any other family in the area helped their city slickers learn how to survive, handle weapons, and avoid the Yeerks in the area.
After hearing rumors that the fight may have been favoring better for humanity in Europe, the Kennedy’s paid for some of their family to be smuggled across the pond to the land of their ancestors. Simplicity never figured which land of their ancestors they meant but the move turned out for the best. Upon land fall Sim met up with the Earth’s Republican Army, a reformed version of the IRA. When things were fairing badly in UK, the group split in case they lost Ireland. Simplicity went with the group to France where she was introduced to the idea of becoming an animorph.

Scene with Parent:
Simplicity ran down the side walk from the bus stop toward her apartment building. She lived on the third floor and took the stairs two by two. That day the elevator was just too slow, and she didn’t stop running until she was in the apartment. She jerked open the door and dropped her backpack.
“Door,” her mother called she threw the door closed. Sim cringed as it slammed shut.
There was a moment of silence before she heard her mother sigh and say, “You’re here early.”
“Just a bit,” Simplicity tried to sound innocent as she walked toward the kitchen.
“The bus stop is a five minute walk,” she said as she cut vegetables.
“The bus got here early,” the girl supplied with a shrug.
Marla Kennedy set down the knife and pushed back the cutting board. She walked to the archway and leaned against it. Her daughter had made it half way across the living room before stopping out of nervousness.
“You never come straight home.” She watched as Simplicity fidgeted under her gaze before finally giving her daughter a break, “What do you want to ask me Sim?”
“There’s a show this weekend at the old theater and I want to go,” she blurted out.
“You’re eleven years old Simplicity.”
“It’s all ages!”
“Uh huh, is any one from your class going to be there?” Marla asked with a raised eyebrow.
Simplicity stopped for a second before exclaiming, “Bobby’s brother is going to be there!”
“You can’t stand Bobby and his brother is twenty, I meet him at family night for your class.”
For a moment Sim’s lip quivered, but she swallowed it back down. Instead the threw herself forward and wrapped her arms around her mother’s leg.
“Please,” she pleaded in her most innocent voice, “You can take me. I’ll buy the tickets with my piggy bank!”
Marla looked down at her daughter first in shock then relaxed and sighed again. She put a hand to her forehead and thought about the money she needed for the rent and bills. After looking down at her daughter she knew she had already made up her mind.
“Let me look at my schedule, if I’m free we’ll go. And if we’re going I’m buying, consider it an early birthday present.”
Simplicity let go of her mother’s leg and instead wrapped her arms around the woman’s waist. It was difficult but Simplicity kept a hold of her mother as she finished cooking dinner and refused to let go until it was time to eat. As she ran a hand through her daughter’s hair, Marla couldn’t bring herself to mind.
