She rarely wears high heels/stilettos, and prefers to wear boots, with chunky heels, or regular tennis shoes.
Face Claim: Sarah Michelle Gellar
Abilities:
Enhanced Strength: As a slayer, she is endowed with strength greater than that of regular humans. The slayer’s strength appears to be largely metaphysical, as it does not seem to add to her body mass.
Enhanced Agility and Reflexes: Slayers are able to move faster and react more quickly than normal human beings. She is faster than a normal human running, able to cover good distances in less time than a normal person would.
Enhanced Durability/Resilience: Due to the vampire slayer line’s duties, their bodies are more resilient to blunt force trauma than regular humans. There is also some debate amongst the Watchers whether some slayers develop a high pain tolerance (which Kennedy does possess.)
Enhanced Healing: Despite these feats, the slayers are far from invulnerable, and can be injured through conventional means such as bullets and bladed weapons. But, a slayer’s body heals faster than a regular human being. Usually minor injuries heal within 24 hours, and more major injuries within several days. It is not impossible, but it is difficult, to bruise a slayer, but they can receive scars.
Prophetic Dreams: Slayers share a psychic link which manifests itself in prophetic dreams. The dreams can just be memories of a past slayer, or prophetic of what may happen sometime in the future. Usually the dreams are vague.
Sensing: A slayer can sense preternatural beings within the general vicinity. She cannot pinpoint where they are, but she can sense when a vampire or demon or other supernatural being is somewhere in their vicinity.
Other Abilities: Slayers have instinctive natural fighting skills; it is the job of their Watcher to train and hone these skills, and to teach her specific fighting skills such as various forms of martial arts. Through her training, she became knowledgeable in the use of weaponry, mostly ancient weaponry such as crossbows, and swords, as well as modern weaponry such as guns (which do little against vampires, but can be useful against other demons and supernatural beings.)
Personality:
Kennedy is like any other girl, well maybe not like any other girl. She likes gymnastics, and taking Tae-Kwan-Do classes. She enjoys collecting knives, from switch blades to butterfly knives. She is, what her watcher calls, a spitfire. She has a short temper at times, and can be easily angered. But when calm, she is actually decent, even nice. She loves loud music, even dabbles a little in metal. She enjoys going to clubs and bars; mostly because in bars, it gives her an excuse to punch burly men in the face, as they tend to get a little grabby, and are more than shocked when the small frail-looking girl can send them flying through the front window.
She has a problem with most authority figures, such as cops, whom she has had run-ins with on more than one occasion. The only person of authority she would listen to is her watcher, having saved her life when she first acquired her powers when she was 15, and because he was her father figure; literally, he isn’t her father but he raised her since she was fifteen. She is very protective of him because of that, and when he is injured, she tends to go into berserker rages on whatever it is that hurt him.
Likes:
• Bladed weapons. She has a collection of knives and swords in her house.
• Guys who can fend for themselves.
• Martial arts
• Going to clubs and bars
Dislikes:
• Those who harm the innocent
• Cops
• Being bored
• Grabby men
Strengths:
• Loyal: The people she trusts, her friends, and loved ones, she cares for more than life itself. And if anyone hurts them, well a woman scorned plus slayer strength equals bad.
• Resourceful: Sometimes a stake is not at hand, so she has to make do with whatever is laying around, from broken table legs, to branches, to broom handles. She’ll use her environment against her opponent.
• Knowledgeable of hand-to-hand combat styles, due to her slayer training, she is capable of fending off attackers that are bigger and even more physically powerful than she is by using more than just brute strength.
• Athletic: She is very flexible and agile, having at one time had an interest in gymnastics. It is due to her small slender frame that she can squeeze into tight spots that others can’t.
Weaknesses:
• Can at times go looking for a fight when bored.
• Would sooner solve her problems with her fists, than words, it usually takes her Watcher to take her out of punching everything in sight when she got angry.
• Her watcher is the closest thing she has to a father, so harming him would be tantamount to harming her father, which would send her into a berserker rage and would attack erratically.
• Her right eye is partially blind, so she has a blind spot on her right side.

Bio:
Kennedy was born into the slayer line. The Watchers makes it their duty to find and train slayers, hopefully finding them soon after birth, and with some they are lucky and they find them, some, not so much. Seward finding Kennedy was by pure happenstance. Kennedy was born and her parents quickly abandoned her on the front steps of a Roman Catholic Church with a note, ‘Take care of our Kennedy.’ She was taken in by the nuns and was raised by them until she turned eight years old. Then she was put into the custody of the state.
She was put into the foster care system, and was put into the care of a kind woman named Margaret, who liked to be called Marge. Or Large Marge, due to her being quite obese, but still very pleasant. Kennedy cared for her, quite a lot. And she stayed with her for years.
She was a kind girl. She was also mildly tomboyish. She didn’t wear skirts. She loved to play sports. Liked to run and play and jump in the mud, and climb trees, and bring home frogs. She took tae-kwan-do lessons in the summer, as well as gymnastics lessons, as ways to get rid of her excess energy. It helped her focus and improved her grades at school. Her life was good.
It was when she turned fifteen that things got a little sour. Her powers kicked in. And it did so, at an opportune time.
She had gone to the local Kwik-Mart to buy Marge some milk, when a pair of vampires stormed the place. They killed the store owner, while she hid in the stacks. She had been unnoticed, that is though, until she accidentally knocked over a glass jar of salsa, shattering it on the floor, alerting them to her presence.
It was by mere happenstance that two things occurred. One, Seward had parked outside of the Kwik-Mart, going in to get some cigarettes. Two, when one of them went to grab her, her powers had kicked in. She went to punch him, and did so with great force, especially for one of her size and age. The punch knocked him back and into one of the shelves, knocking it over. The other was going to attack, when Seward honked the horn, loudly, distracting him. She took this opportunity to slip past them and head for the exit.
She ran out of the Kwik-Store, and back to her house. Seward went in, the vampires were already gone, and the person at the register was dead. But something bothered him. How come this girl wasn’t dead?
It was only a few days later that they met again. The two vampires that had attacked the store attacked her at her home, having managed to track her. They killed Marge, who had tried to protect her with a shotgun (which was used to impale her to the wall.)
She managed to accidentally stake one pushing him onto the broken leg of a dining room chair, and escaped the house out the back window, managing to cause the house to explode, killing the other vampire, by causing a gas explosion with the kitchen oven.
Seward found her not long later, and adopted her, recognizing her as a slayer.
Since then, he trained her in various forms of martial arts. He also helped her use her gymnastic ability to her advantage. She was very flexible and agile, and tough. She had to grow up fast after Marge’s death, and she had to be tough in order to survive her calling.
During the years, she’s faced a great deal of supernatural entities. Recently, she was sent to New Orleans, to live in Seward’s home, a modest estate in New Orleans, LA. Seward is the son of a wealthy family, and owns the property. He tells her in the case of his death, he had named her next of kin, and beneficiary of the estate. Though it’s not something she’s looking forward to, working hard to make sure nothing does happen.
