"How beautiful is it to stay silent
When someone expects you to be enraged from them.
And how beautiful it is to laugh
When someone thinks you are going to shed tears."

The Wannabe
Kaitlin grew up in a pretty average family. Her parents were (seemingly) happily married, and although they fought like every other sibling pair, Kaitlin got along well enough with her younger brother Jayden. As a child, her parents emphasized that if she worked hard enough, she would be able to do whatever she wanted when she got older. They insisted that dedication and enthusiasm trumped money and privilege, and that she had just as much of a chance of going to Harvard as Bill Gate's kids would have.
Really, Katie would have been happy living in this sheltered bubble but her parents separated during her junior year and that summer, she moved to New York City with her father and younger brother. Her mother had been caught having an affair with her school's principal and once word got around, not only were her parents outcast-ed by the tight-knit community, but Katie was by her friends and peers as well. She went from having an abundance of friends whom she had known since she was a child to being the laughing stock of the town. Her father was able to find a job opening as an engineer at a company in New York but when their mother refused to move with them, they left without her. If it wasn't for her intelligence, there was no way that she would have been able to score a scholarship spot at Constance Billard but she did and now her father only has to pay a fraction of the normally outrageous tuition price.
{ High School Career }
This is Kaitlin's first year at Constance Billard. She spent the last three years at a public school in her hometown of Lancaster, PA. At her old school, she played on the field hockey and soccer teams and is considering trying out for a sport's team at this school.
Friendly, eager, helpful, kind, personable
{ Bad personality traits }
Impressionable, sensitive, self conscious, passive, somewhat naive
{ Personality }
Kaitlin is a fun, happy-go-lucky and friendly girl. She's approachable and personable, something that made her appealing to friends in her hometown. She tended to be the peacemaker among her group of friends and was very rarely the cause of drama. However kind she was, she still stood by what she thought was right and rarely went against her moral values to appease anyone. Her parents (mainly her father) raised her to be assertive yet grounded and always taught her that she had to be true to herself before anyone else would respect her. His words of wisdom were enough to get her through most of her childhood and teenage years and probably would have been enough to get her through high school, had her mom not been caught sleeping with her school's principal.
As a result of the affair, Kaitlin's parents separated and to avoid even more humiliation, Kaitlin's father, her and her brother relocated to New York to start fresh. With the change of place, Kaitlin's personality will begin to change too, though. The Upper East Side is a lot different than the rural town she grew up in and the just like the setting, the people are different as well. Even before attending Constance, Kaitlin has heard from neighbors in her apartment building that the girls there aren't exactly nice and because she doesn't come from money, she will probably have a hard time fitting in. After the social nightmare she endured at the hands of her mother, Kaitlin is determined to be accepted by her new schoolmates and won't let anything get in the way of that. She's willing to change herself to fit in, whether it's for the better or worse.
{ Greatest joys in life }
Having friends, being accepted and valued, her brother, her father
{ Greatest fears }
Not getting into her dream school- Harvard, being an outcast, disappointing her father, rodents
{ Life philosophy }
Kaitlin has always tried to be receptive of other people's needs and desires and balance those with her own. She makes an effort to be nice to people and do the right thing, but now that she's being thrust out of her comfort zone, like most other people, Kaitlin is willing to step outside of her moral comfort zone if it means that she'll fit in.

Tom Kingsley | Age 40 | Father
Tom is Kaitlin's preferred parent. They have a very strong relationship and Kaitlin appreciates how much her father has sacrificed for her and her brother. He's more of a mentor or friend to her than a father, but that's probably because she's never really done anything so wrong to a point where he would need to discipline or lecture her about it.
Janet Kingsley | Age 44 | Mother
After she cheated on Tom, Kaitlin hasn't been able to look at her the same. She feels betrayed by her mother, like she cared more about herself than the rest of her family and when she decided to stay in Lancaster, it just confirmed that she favored her own selfish wants over her family's best interests. Kaitlin rarely speaks to Janet and hasn't seen her since they left home in July.
{ Siblings }
Jayden Kingsley | Age 12 | Brother
Jayden is five years younger than Kaitlin, but he's her only sibling so they have a strong enough relationship. Although he can annoy her to no end with his immature preteen jokes and pranks, she does find him to be amusing and is good company when she wants someone to watch a movie or grab food with.
