General Appearance:
“She can get hit by a tornado, walk through a storm, trudge through a swamp, and somehow still come out looking like Miss America.” If there ever was a girl who fit this description, some people may say that Kayla was it. And if they were ever to say that to her face, she’d beat them with the heel of her shoe. Kayla might be a supporter of feminism and frowns much on the expected stereotype that “women” had to act and look a particular way, but that doesn’t mean she can’t look nice just because she likes to. And it certainly doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to put effort into her appearance. To some, it may seem like her smooth, pale skin, her ruby red lips, and silky auburn hair came to her about as naturally as she breathed, but were she to find out that that’s what someone thought of her, she’d smile a smile cold enough to freeze hell and then wrestle them right into the mud, all while pointing out exactly how it’s none of their goddamn business. Needless to say, she likes looking good, like a gypsy seductress even, but Kayla is also not afraid to get down and dirty in the mud, just like the farm-girl she was raised as. After all, thats why we washed our hands...and hair, and face, and clothes.
Physically, Kayla is in decent shape. One has to be to live on a farm, honestly. Weighing in at about 150lbs and standing at 5’7”, Kayla sports a very nicely hidden pear shape, with most of her “vices” as she calls them going straight to her hips and thighs, and leaving Kayla with a very average sized chest. If asked which part of her body she hates the most, she will smile...and eviscerate the tongue of whoever trespassed on such a taboo subject.
Kayla keeps a mysterious glow about her, focusing most of her energy on her sleek, seductive smile, especially while helping a customer who doesn’t know any better. Part of her ‘act’ at the shop is to keep that air of mysticism about her, even going as far as doing her make-up as if she were some sort of Romani gypsy. Her clothing style is no different. Kalya usually goes for light flowing skirts and dresses for most of the year. Hoop earrings, or some other kind of gold danglies, accentuate the effect. She prefers flats when it comes for shoes, because it’s easier on her large feet(a stunning size 10), but her boss insists that she wear something to show off her ankles and manicured toes. This look is only when she’s in town or at work, however. As soon as she gets home, everything comes off and she’s back in her comfy white t-shirt and overalls, and heading out to coral the chickens into the coop before the sun sets.
Personality:
Kayla is in a few short words a snarky, bitchy, kinda feminist, but doesn’t see anything wrong with being a feminist and still doing “feminine” things. Maybe not so much bitchy, but opinionated. And not afraid to express it. She’s all on top of the idea that a girl can do anything she wants, that a man can’t control her life, and that the idiots who send her cat-calls while she’s walking down the street can just keep enjoying their nightly wanks all by themselves. This does not mean, however, that she’s not going to go out and do stereotypical “girly” things just to satisfy her “young, girlish heart”. More specifically speaking, she’s as much as a tomboy as her sister, one who is more likely to run around playing cops and robbers with the boys than play with barbies going to the prom. But just the same, she doesn’t like falling into stereotypes, in either direction. So she’ll put on the flouncy skirt and low cut blouse, and then run down the street after some jock who thinks she can only “throw like a girl”.
Kayla can be a bit of a temperamental person, thought she’d say that she just doesn’t like taking shit from people. Sure, she can put on a happy, pleasant face of whatever she wants, if needed, but she’s really just smiling and nodding and wishing she could tear the throat out of every single ignorant person she comes across because she has better things to do than listen to someone rant about something that they haven’t the slightest clue as to what it’s about. She cannot stand the stupid and will openly mock them behind their backs, or, if they grind her neves enough, straight to their faces without restraint. And with a bit of comedic snark. She cannot stand people in general, but if you got a good head on your shoulders, then she’s liable to not automatically stick you with a “dunce” stamp on your forehead and kick you to the streets.
Now granted, Kayla isn’t a homicidal maniac, she’s just a little quick to snap. Underneath all the snark and icy smiles is a girl who really does feel. Right to the center of her heart! Of course probably the only people who get to see that side of her are….Rory, probably. For all her sarcasm and all the teasing she does, Kayla is damn protective of her little sister. She’d probably do anything for her. Her moms too, but those two can take care of themselves. Of course she has friends and makes them well, but there are deep parts of her personality she doesn’t let out to people. The attitude is her defense mechanism, she doesn’t like anyone getting that close. To those who do know her, however, she can be very friendly, humorous, and obviously intelligent about a variety of subjects that most would find utterly...weird? Maybe?
Kayla had a very deep and long standing interest in the occult. Blame it on her mothers. They grew her up with all the feelsy, new-agey crap, raising her on a “healthy” vegan diet, organics only, and hey! Let’s feng shui the living room again in celebration of the winter solstice! Or something like that, right? Unlike her parents who just skim the surface of crystals and healthy eating, Kayla kind of had a hankering to dig deeper into the literature and from there the interest just kind of went into overdrive. Of course, the more she learned, the less patience she had for skimmers who liked to liked to praise this stuff as gospel. Kayla probably takes it more serious than anybody, but she sure as hell hates preachers. And yeah, she doesn’t abide by the “lifestyle” like her parents would want, but hey, you only live once, right? Kayla’s a free spirit blah blah blah, and pretty much does what she wants, basically.Your VicesLikes:

Dislikes:
People who get way too into the spiritual/new agey crap and start rattling shit off like they’re the next prophet or messiah, or like how they talk about the ‘will of god/nature’ - like her boss, what a kook!
People who don’t know what they’re talking about - mouth shut, ears open, please!
People who are overly skeptical of homeopathy/naturopathy - hey! it has it’s uses.
People who try to tie in science and spirituality or use one to denounce the other - really, can’t we just take both as they are? Without starting world war III?
People who take themselves too seriously - smilin’ ain’t gonna kill ya!
People who believe in miracle cures - if you’re bleeding out your stomach, CALL 911 YOU EFFIN’ ‘TARD!!!
Most vegan foods - but mommy says it’s good for meee!
Strengths:
Upselling to nitwits
Telling a crazy story so that people believe it
Looking like the goddamn Queen of Shiba
Knowing her shit - she tells crazy stories about it, but Kayla actually does know what she’s talking about when it comes to the metaphysical/new age/wiccan BS that her boss has some sort of creepy spiritual boner for
Standing up for herself - that is, she’s opinionated and isn’t afraid to make sure people know it.
Physical labor/strength/stamina - Kayla isn’t just gonna sit back and be pretty all day.
Weaknesses:
Tends to impose her opinions on others.
Can be incredibly vindictive
Short temper
Rory - Kayla gives in a lot to her sister. And tends to go overboard when protecting her. And worries about her a touch too much. But loves to tease her, endlessly.
Overworks herself - she’ll take a moment to “just breath” but that’s all it is, a moment.
Fears:
Nothing, goddamnit!!
Maybe confined spaces - claustrophobic
Disappointing her parents
Secret:
She got pregnant when she 17 and had an abortion. The guilt over it haunts her to this day, but Kayla felt like she didn’t have any other choice. She never told her sister about it. Or anyone else, not even the father.Family TiesFather: Biological father, Kenneth Graham
Mother: Ria (Maria) Hartt; Natalia Lee-Hartt
Siblings: Rory Hartt
Any Other Important People:Ryan Frederichs - the meat seller and dope cultivator; Hollis White - helps on the farm; Lucy - cat; Pokey - dog; Theodore - teacup pig that turned out to grow a lot bigger than advertised; a bunch of other chickens and farm animalsHistory
Please see Rory Hartt’s profile for more details on history, but the gist of the story is, that Ken and Ria had the hots for each other first but then the woman met Natalia and those two tied the knot and settled themselves into a very ‘quaint’, out-of-the-way farm in Vermont, full of chickens and pigs and chickens and actually Kayla remembers there being a llama at one point but they ended up selling that one right before Christmas one year. Anyway! Ria and Natalia wanted kids, but together they’re obviously unequipped for procreation, so Ria went to her old flame and recruited him to hand over some of his swimmers so that mommy and mommy could have their dreams come true! Therefore, finally, nine months after the petre procedure, beautiful Kayla Marie Hartt was born; Kayla, after Natalia’s grandmother; Marie, after her bio mother; and Hartt...well because last names. That, and they thought it sounded good.
Kayla was a home birth, which was all great and fine because it was ‘natural’, but Kayla would laugh and chide after her parents for “chickening out” on doing the same thing for Rory’s birth five years later. As an adult, she would say that they were a bunch of phonies and hypocrites(behind their backs, of course), because she was certain that she’d seen her momma Ria down a Sonic cheesburger once or twice growing up. She definitely remembered it when she was pregnant, of which Kayla was quite thankful for because that meant that they weren’t complete loonies who would force a vegan diet on children to the point of malnourishing them. Anyway! 1999 came and suddenly Kayla was a big sister on a farm with kooky, hippie parents.
In school, Kayla got her fair share of bullying, but ‘sessions’ usually didn’t last long because she was quick to fight back and show them just what happens to anyone who made fun of her and her family. She would often come home with cuts and scrapes on her knees from wrestling some smart-mouthed boy to the ground. Rory probably would have been too young to remember this. But ultimately, it was the bullying and the frequent comments that Kayla didn’t act like a ‘real girl’ that caused her to start dressing more femininely. That way, she could look like the girl they all said she wasn’t and then turn around and still kick their asses for being a gang of dipshits. This kind of treatment lasted from first grade until she manifested in eighth grade(13-years-old), just after the school year started. Of course this had to happen in the middle of a fight. She was chasing a couple of ruffians through the vastly-wide “neighborhood”(country-side), and when they cleared a fence, she cleared it right after them, only when she jumped off, expecting to fall hard on the grass, Kayla instead flew through the air. Talk about embarrassing, because her flying through the air in a skirt just gave the boys yet another reason to make fun. Unsurprisingly, they weren’t laughing for long.
Kayla hid the incident from her parents(though it wasn’t a secret to them that Kayla had behavior problems at school, they’d been called on several occasions about her fighting which usually ended in lectures about ‘positive and negative energies causing a disruption in her chakra’ or whatever that meant), but over the next week rumors that Kayla was a witch started circulating through the middle school, which only inspired her to find the boys and teach them another good, hard lesson. She was pulled to the principal’s office and then sent home where she was greeted by Hammel recruiters. “Uh-huh, so I am a witch?” she said dryly to the recruiters when they explained the reason behind her abilities. Whatever, she didn’t care, and going to a school with other freaks was better than staying here. And thus, that’s how Kayla came to enter Hammel(and her moody teenage years). She was assigned a room in the girl’s dormitories, but was able to come home frequently since it was only a good hour or so away from the farm. Kayla’s only regret about leaving was that she wouldn’t be there for her little sister whom she knew was also having problems at school. But she’d come home whenever she could, especially on weekends, and would help out on the farm and give her little sister the lectures she needed to survive through elementary and middle school(because Kayla was convinced that Rory was getting the same drivel that their moms bestowed on her growing up, so someone had to make sure that Rory grew up with a brain).
Kayla’s Hammel life was a lot less turbulent than her elementary and middle school years, partially because the school itself monitored bullying situations a lot more closely than her former school, and partially because she took the whole new-school, new-life thing to heart to give her peers a different impression of her than her former school. She lived on a farm? That’s cool, yup! “Watch me as I work through detention like a boss!” she’d say. So she wore flouncy skirts and looked like a mistress? Well, that there’s a goddamn compliment if she ever heard one. So people still thought that Kayla might be a witch? Well, she could fly, may as well play it up and use it to her advantage. That’s when Kayla started looking deeper into the whole spiritual practices that her mothers raised her on, because if she was going to do something, then she may as well make sure she was doing it right. Intelligence and rational said that her flying ability was clearly due to her meta status, but she was surprised how many people were stupid enough to believe that something ‘supernatural’ was going on with Kayla every time she demonstrated, especially during a simple tarot reading. It was all showmanship, and Kayla found it incredibly entertaining.
Kayla ran through more than a few boyfriends during her time at Hammel. They were all jerks, because nearly every one of them treated her as if she was some sort of prize to be won and boasted about their “conquest” to their gaggle of friends. During her senior year, one of these conquistadors managed to do the impossible which wasn’t as impossible as she thought. Because of her parent’s “hippie” lifestyle, they didn’t believe in using a lot of modern medicine. As such, Kayla was never put on contraceptives when she became sexually active(she wouldn’t have told her parents about that anyway), therefore only depended on other forms of protection. Which of course failed. Kayla didn’t find out about the pregnancy until she was four weeks in and from there she panicked. Kayla took a bus down to Burlington one weekend and underwent an abortion procedure at the only clinic within 50 miles of the school. Afterwards, she started making more private arrangements with them for birth control behind her mothers’ back. Kayla went through the entire incident completely without support from anyone else and never told anyone about it once it was all over. She is upset with her parents because their lifestyle forced her into that situation but is too afraid to say anything to them for fear of persecution, rejection, and/or disappointment. It was all very trying and Kayla would rather just forget it ever happened.
Putting that behind her, Kayla pushed forward through graduation, and then promptly moved back home to the farm. She had been working part-time at a local crystal and candles shop in Pilot Ridge and once graduated, she became a full-time employee, working on average 32 hours per week. She attends evening/night classes at Greenview Community college, only taking a half load of hours every semester. Even going to school and working full-time, Kayla is still able to find the time to keep up her responsibilities on the farm. Kayla would say she is fine where she’s at and doesn’t feel like rushing through her higher education, but the reality is that she is often overworking herself and rarely gets a moment to simply relax.Roleplay Example青色猫はズボンにいます。What About You?Name: Ophelia
