Relationship History
She's had one boyfriend, and aside from him, one other sexual partner. She lost her virginity to a senior when she was a freshman, thinking it would give her a boost in popularity and that he actually liked her. This wasn't the case, though, and after a year of heartbreak, she started dating model Jay Alvarrez, who she was introduced to at a party while on vacation in Hawaii. He's based in Florida but would visit Kayleen multiple times a month, and she the same. She was planning on marrying him, which just goes to show how much she invested herself in it, but about a month ago, she found out that he had been cheating on her throughout the entire relationship. Needless to say, she's now single, but still grieving enough to think she never wants to date again.

Skin Tone
Kayleen is Caucasian, with naturally light skin that seems to be constantly tan due to her many tropical vacations (and though she won't admit it, a trip to a tanning bed here and there when she's feeling too pale).
Hair Color
Naturally dirty blonde that gets lighter with sun exposure
Hairstyle
x Her hair is usually kept in its natural state when worn down. It has a bit of an easy and relaxed look to it, and since it isn't naturally untamed or frizzy, she doesn't need to straighten it very often.
Style
Surprisingly, Kayleen's style is very in tuned with the stereotypical Californian look. She rocks the casual, but pretty look, and loves crop tops, tank tops, jeans, denim shorts, bralettes and sundresses. Her family has enough money that it only makes sense that even though her look is casual, it's costly, but her wardrobe isn't majorly made up of thousand dollar gowns and blouses.
Standard Outfit
An everyday outfit would be comprised of something similar to this. She normally opts for a pretty, yet simple, crop top and a pair of shorts that are questionably short. At home, she's usually either in a pair of boy short underwear and a sports bra or over sized t-shirt, or a bikini, on her way out to the pool. The California weather is one of the few things that she won't complain about, since she has been able to work out a lot of new outfits with it.
Overall Attractiveness
She's the epitome of western-European beauty; light skin, toned body, blonde hair, a pretty face... Most guys would rate her a ten. She'd probably say nine on a good day, and a seven or eight otherwise.
Personality
Good Personality Traits
Adventurous, Fun, Simple (in comparison to many of her new peers)
Bad Personality Traits
Insensitive towards others' feelings, Close-Minded, Defensive
Personality
Kayleen is the type of girl who usually puts herself first. To a lot of people, that translates into an image of her being uncaring and selfish, but it usually isn't like that. She just prioritizes herself over other people, so if she doesn't want to hang out with someone, she isn't going to. She won't bend over backwards to comfort other people's wants and needs if they don't equate to her own. In a way, it's a defense mechanism. She's very sensitive to rejection and the idea of not fitting in, so she's grown to completely block out the idea that anyone else's opinions of her have any value or meaning. If someone thinks she's being a bitch or a bad friend, then she tries to just shrug her shoulders and remind herself that as long as she's happy, it doesn't matter. It's a mindset that a lot of people wish they had, but she has it to an extent where it isn't completely healthy. She can be insensitive to people's feelings and sometimes forgets that real friendships involve sacrifices that go both ways. She's the type of person who has no problem sitting alone during lunch or being her own partner on a class project. Again, it sometimes gives people the chance to interpret it as her thinking she's better than them, but a lot of the time, it isn't the case. She just doesn't want to bother herself with people who she doesn't think will do anything for her. It takes a lot for her to invest herself in people.
To those that she's close with, Kayleen can be a lot of fun. She loves drinking and partying, is always up for vacationing, especially to a tropical destination, and she always likes to gossip over the latest drama. She doesn't think of herself as a mean girl, but that's probably because she's not used to being challenged or having her flaws pointed out to her. She's used to having her way go, and thinks of it just as normalcy rather than her being demanding or petty.
Overall, most people's first impression of Kayleen is that she's uninterested in them because she thinks she's superior to them, or is just quiet. They don't know that she has already either decided that they seem useless to her, or that they seem like potential friends but she has too many secret insecurities to make the first move. She can be cold and insensitive even when she does soften up to people, but with her friends, it's more known that she's fun and energetic, and sometimes has a mouth that gets her into trouble.
Greatest Joys in Life
Her friends, the beach, sleeping, alcohol, vacationing
Greatest Fears
Spiders, rodents, tsunamis, being kidnapped
Priorities
Her first priority would just be getting back home to her old life. She does have some normal, teenage priorities too: having a fun senior year, maybe finding romance, and graduating with little stress. She isn't really prioritizing school because she has no set career aspirations, and honestly isn't excited or interested in the idea of college, aside from joining a sorority.
Mental or Physical Disabilities
Mild-moderate Dyscalculia
Life Philosophy
"Love yourself so much that when someone treats you wrong, you recognize it."

What was your Childhood Like?
Kayleen is the daughter of Austen Cargill II and Mary Stone. She has one half-brother, Timothy Cargill, who she believes, destroyed her perfect family. It only existed for a few months, but she likes to think that it had been perfect and would have been had he not been born. Timothy is the child of a love affair, one that led to Mary divorcing Austen, and Austen choosing his mistress and new son over Mary and Kayleen. Austen is one of the heirs to the Cargill empire, and owns around 4 billion of the family's 45 billion dollar worth. He loves ranching and the great outdoors, and purchased an 8 acre lot in Montana where he built an extensive home for the family before the divorce. Kayleen grew up with tons of space to run around, lots of fresh air, but no real father figure, and definitely no contact with her brother. She saw her father maybe five or six times over her lifetime, but his presence in her life was mostly shown through the child support checks he sent every month. In addition to Timothy, Kayleen also acquired a half-sister, and she knew her just as little as she knew him.
Although Mary had Kayleen convinced that Austen abandoned them, it wasn't really like that. He very well loved his daughter, but didn't want to make things worse with a custody battle. Besides, he knew that Mary was a good mother, and he was so involved in work, that he allowed Mary to take primary custody of her without any objections. Getting her on holidays would have been nice, but given that he moved to California after the divorce, it would have been useless to attempt to win weekend or joint custody. Mary worked as a top editor in a publishing company that her father founded, so she did well on her own, but the extravagant child support that Austen paid helped maintain their lavish lifestyle, so Kayleen really did grow up just as nicely as her father's children did.
Overall, her childhood was positive and fairly normal for someone of such wealth. She lived in an upscale, rural community and seemed to always be one step ahead of the other kids. It allowed her to be popular and the center of attention. Kayleen had the material things she wanted, the friends she wanted, and the attention that everyone wants. If she had one complaint about her childhood, it would be that her parents didn't live together, and that her mother always seemed to have boyfriends, but no one who actually stuck around.
Pets
Kayleen does not currently have any pets. She grew up having a few dogs, but the last one passed away last spring.
Childhood Hero or Idol
She was a huge Britney Spears fan as a child.
Dream Job
She has no real career aspirations at this point. She isn't one of those people who were lucky enough to find their niche in an art or sport early on, so she's really not sure what she wants to do after school. Becoming a travel blogger has always seemed cool to her, because it seems as easy as taking nice vacations and posting artsy photos to Instagram, but she doubts her family would be supportive of something as non-traditional and stable as that.
Schools Attended

Present
Currently Living With?
Kayleen is currently living with her father, step-mother, half-sister and half-brother.
Pets
Kayleen doesn't own any pets.
Summer Spent
Her summer was spent partially moping around, after the begging failed to work in convincing her mother to let her live in their Montana home alone for her senior year. The rest of the summer was actually spent well, hanging out with friends, taking vacations and having as much fun as possible, before she was forced to pack up and move to California.
Socioeconomic Status
Kayleen has a credit card linked to her father's bank account, so she doesn't have any real spending restrictions. Her father is worth billions, and her mother millions, so she's set for life. She's a part of the upper class.
Home
Kayleen doesn't consider her father's house to be a home, but it's where she'll be spending her senior year. She still likes to claim that her mother's home was far nicer, but living in Beverly Park is completely different. Her house in Montana was one of the nicest in the state and occupied over 8 acres of land, but still wasn't as frivolous as her father's Beverly Hills home. It's a transition, adjusting from living in the middle of nowhere to such a populated town and state, and right now, Kayleen's resistant to any sort of change involving her new life.
In addition to her father's Beverly Hills home, he owns a few other homes in Miami, Paradise Valley, New York, Aspen, London and Nice. Her mother got the Bozeman, MT house during the divorce settlement, and in addition to that, owns homes in Charleston, SC, Jupiter Island, FL, New York, NY and is renting an apartment in London.
Transportation
Right now, she doesn't have a car with her and is relying on her family's chauffeur. Her Mercedes G550 is home and is scheduled to be brought out some time this week, but she's considering just getting a new car. She's been looking to change it up anyway.
Goals
Right now, her biggest goal is to get back to Montana and her old friends. It's kind of ironic considering how her whole life, she wanted to get out of the state and was constantly traveling, but she misses her old life. A short term goal, and her attempt to make the most of the situation, is to learn how to surf. She's done it a couple of times in Hawaii but doesn't really know how to do it. She does want to get married, have kids and travel more frequently too.

Are You Happy?
No
Would You Change?
Kayleen isn't happy with her life right now in general, so returning to Montana would be her number one change request. All throughout her life, she was nearly the Queen Bee, so naturally, she knows that she would fit in best with the royals. However, she's stubborn and she doesn't want to act like she needs friends or to fit in anywhere, so for now, she's going to act like she's quite content being completely friendless.

Kayleen's going to have a lot of opportunities socially, since she'll be a new face at the school. That includes chances to make friends, lovers, enemies, etc. I'll be able to explore the relationship with her half-siblings, too.
