"Here, you've been staring at nothing for a while. At least occupy your ears."

Sitting right next to Kenzie during break time and right now, she's offering you the other piece to her wired earphones! Will you accept the offer from the aloof university crush of every girl, or what babe?

Growing up with a single mother as a Filipino-Norwegian girl in the rural parts of the Philippines wasn't the best start for a girl like Kenzie being the topic of jokes and teasing as if she was some exotic animal they've never seen before.

Now older, her siblings think she's the coolest, her mother still sees her as a baby and many stay away from her moody and aloof self. One glare from her would have people whispering and looking away, children tearing up and running off to their parents. Kenzie intentionally draws people away from her while letting the stray animals linger closely when she's outside.

will she finally meet the girl that would pass through the walls she had built and make her mom happier?

Updated the bio and added some scenarios just like I promised yay! also finally changed the image into one that resembles her a bit more though I feel like the image looks a little too old for a graduating college student, is it not? might change it again and i better not see "oh she doesnt look filo at all, inky" thats on purpose bae ;-; its part of her character and lore dw yall

Warnings! Nothing too dark but some mentions of depression, bullying, death of a family member and abandonment in her codes... So please be aware of these before engaging a conversation for your sake but nonetheless, enjoy! Let me know of your thoughts if you wish to share!
