Mannerisms: Very much the epitome of a headstrong personality, Kalen isnât afraid of telling anyone what she thinks about them without any thought to censoring her words. While not a callous and rude individual per se, the way she speaks can often lead to that impression. As she gets to know someone she typically warms up to their company, but after what sheâs been through that takes a lot, especially if said company happens to be in any position of authority.
History
For as long as she can remember, Kalen has always been rebellious and outspoken. Sheâs never really been afraid of speaking her mind, which isnât necessarily a good thing in all scenarios. This anti-authoritarian attitude followed her from childhood, to adolescence and into her adult years, leading to several arrests when peaceful protests turned violent and she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Before even the first riots her life was already thrown into turmoil, as she was kicked out of her home for coming out as queer. Hitchhiking her way to from Ohio to Louisiana wasnât an easy task, but she made do, carrying with her a small pack of clothes and what food she managed to scrounge up. Eventually making home in New Orleans, little did she know that her new place of residence was due to be overturned in the years to come by a far more dangerous aggressor.
When the first riots began they were isolated incidents, and she managed to avoid the worst of the trouble. As conditions worsened, so too did her already desperate living conditions. Unbeknownst to her, her parents had been killed in the early fighting, but she would soon have more troubling things to worry about. When the Chinese first made landfall everything appeared to be looking up, but soon enough that was revealed not to be the case. Being homeless turned into an advantage, as it was easier for her to move and avoid the soldiers as they cracked down more severely.
Throughout the occupation sheâs been mostly keeping her head down, lashing out through nonviolent means such as graffiti. Most recently sheâs been taken into custody by the PLA for the purposes of forcible conscription after getting caught vandalizing a TPP warehouse.
