Kacy wasn't looking for much. She wasn't looking for anything actually. But there it was - a little mishap and everything goes to to hell. Kacy had gone through the motions of a normal day. She went to class - only one, her Wednesdays were blissfully short and contained only one history class; Witches, Wizards, and the evolution of Science. She wrote her notes down, went to lunch with some mates to study, then she went back to her dorm.
That was were the normality ended. She walked through the door and her mother called. Her mother. The woman she had never met before in her life. She had been adopted and lived life in complete ignorance of that fact until three or four years ago when they said "congrats you're going to college and you're adopted!". What the hell? Adopted? She had no idea what to say to this woman on the other end of the line. She hung up. She was furious! How dare she call her after all this time! Her face got all squinched up and she tried to bottle up the scream of anger that was forming in her throat.
Suddenly everything was floating!
"Oh my god!" Kacy screamed and then she ran out of the room.
Personality: Kay is sweet and understanding. She is also passionate about everything she does.
APPERENCE
Name of play by: Michelle Trachtenberg
Distinguishing features: Distinguished cheek bones and piercing blue eyes, small tattoo on the base of her neck below the hair line (silhouette of a bird)
Style: Sleek .She likes to dress fashionably but she is very no-care about things. Her wardrobe has been arranged so she can throw things on and not worry that she looks terrible. Nonetheless we all have those days where we dress like a slob.
Overall apperance: About 5'5 and slim, Kacy has big bright blue eyes and beautiful brown hair. She rarely looks less than an 8 out of 10 on the fashion scale. She sin't obviously muscular but her activity keeps her fit and she can take on almost anyone. Her fingers are long and delicate, she would have been an amazing musician or doctor had the muse influenced her in that way. Her skin is pale and smooth and overall she is rather alluring to observe.
ON THE INSIDE
3 Likes: Raspberries, free fall before the air lifts the glider (She hang glides), magic (because it really is such a beautiful thing in it's complexity).
3 Dislikes: Presumptuous people who judge you and then comment on it before they could possibly know you, getting stuck (like when you don't know what to do with life and you just feel stuck in one place), too much heat.
2 Strengths: Passion: Kacy is super passionate about her friends and family, also anything she is involved with. To her if you aren't happy there is no point in continuing with something. Her adopted parents are the most important thing in the world to her. Unfortunately her birth parents are somewhat and anomaly in her life and while she is getting to know them and does love them she isn't really sure about them.
Knowledge: Kay is pretty knowledgeable about her powers now that she's had them for a while and she has a passion for history. She loves anything from past to present relating to mythology and magic. Her knowledge doesn't end there, she can tell you a vast many things about the creation of fashion and she used to ride a motorcycle (thus knows how to fix them).
2 Weaknessess: Trust: Kacy can be overly suspicious and unwilling to trust. She doesn't like people who are too opinionated to see past their own ideals and won't trust anyone who looks too shady. Maybe it was the way her adoption was kept from her, or her magical abilities discovered, but she just has some major trust issues and it will take a very specific kind of person to get her to open up.
Power: Kacy is a little power hungry. She would never betray anyone who she is close to to get it but she will sacrifice a great many things to get to where she wants to go. This can be dangerous to her as demons often like to play the power game. So far she's escaped their tricks.
Life Goal: Despite her magical ways Kacy really just wants that typical dream; house with a white picket fence, two kids, a wonderful guy, and a cat. She loves her powers but if she could give them all up for assurance that the future would hold this then she would. Now with the alternate universe and all...she isn't so sure.
Fears and Secrets: When Kacy was little she burned her hand severely, she got a little too close to the camp fire. That and having always know about the witch burnings gave her a very great fear of fire. Unfortunately when she found out she was a witch it just got worse.
If being afraid of fire wasn't enough she was also once trapped in a hell dimension where flames teased to burn her for 4 months. No one knows about it. Though people questioned her absence during those four months she has never told anyone for...multiple reasons...but mainly because she hasn't ever admitted her fear of fire to anyone either.
Kacy once had a bird as a pet. Thing is she's not too sure it was actually bird. It could talk, it was one of those African Greys, and a few years back it was just gone. But it would tell her things before they would happen, or say snippets of something really wise, and she never trained it. Not once.
Happiest/Worst Memory: She was down by the stream, it was just a little thing and no one would drown if they fell in so long as they could stand right back up. As she was watching the water flow past and the breeze rustle through the grass around her bare feet she notice these tiny little minnows swimming in the water. And then she saw the reflection of something on the water's surface. She looked up to the sky and saw this hang glider floating down, down, down low over the park until it did a little circle and landed right there on the other side of the stream. She thought for sure it would have been a boy but the figure who unhooked themselves from the contraption and shook their hair out of their helmet was anything but. The girl who had landed was beautiful and her smile infectious and even though no words had been said the girl gave Kacy a nod and Kacy knew that when she was old enough she would just have to try hang gliding.

THE BEGINNING
[/size][/color]Kacy grew up with her parents Kim and Timothy. The fact that her parents names rhymed was constantly hilarious to her and their family members, Kim and Tim, her father hated that his name was Timothy and not to be shortened. Of course she called him daddy and her mother mum.
Before the age of two her and her parents lived in Oxford England, she can remember the light scent of sepulchre and the dully toned buildings. However, other than her vocabulary being influenced by her highly British parents, she retains very little else from her days as an English lass. They moved to America when she was two and she started school at age four due to a rather high level of intelligence (they wanted to start her at three but the schools just wouldn't take it).
It was all normal until she was heading off to university. Normal in the sense that she had friends without magic and a mother and father who loved her and no siblings. But then university came (for her at the early age of 15), and moving day arrived and as her parents sent her out the door they thought it would be a good time to mention, "Have a good trip honey! Oh, by the way, your adopted." A nice little wave followed the comment and Kay didn't know what to do. Hello?! You don't tell someone that 15 years after they've been living with you!
When she turned 18 she got a call from her mother, her real mother, and the anger and shock triggered her powers. Her mother had been somewhat forced to give her up which was why she had been living in ignorance of everything. It was another year of crazy new information, both magical and non-magical. She found out she had two siblings, twins, who were also budding witches. They flew to San Fran to visit her a couple times and currently are considering living with her there. She was seeing someone fairly seriously and had it on good autority that she would most likely marry this man...then the world changed.
So thats the history of Kay, she had no clue until this year that she had powers. Thank god she was able to use her rather apt intelligence to pick everything up super quickly. Her younger siblings taught her most of the basics and now she's surpassed them to the point of teaching them theory, back to how it should be with the elder helping the youthful. If only she could find out what it all means.
SAMPLE
[/size][/color]She was the predicted child of Leo and Piper but no one foresaw her being born last. As they say things change.
Melinda grew up a happy, healthy, and magical child. She was surrounded by love and care and demons. As soon as she could walk, and maybe before, she could blast as good as the next Halliwell with potions. Her brothers were always super protective of her and her mother had always wanted her to be more sheltered than them but she was more wild, more carefree, and she destroyed those plans when she entered school.
It was magic school thankfully, her aunt Paige kept watch so that she wouldn't run anyone over with her particular skill set or determination to be her own person. She had sue run ins but then...so did every magical child. When she hit junior high and high school that was when real problems hit.
See, it was the boys. They flocked to her. She had this feel about her that seemed to say welcome to anyone, geeks, hotties, jocks, demons, it didn't really matter. And she had a thing for bad boys. It was one of those that got her in deep to trouble. A few dark weeks and she'd had it, he tried to control her, others got in on the scheme, and she blast her way right through it because no one would hurt her or get to her family through her. They were, like always, after the book.
So she closed herself off, and it's been like that ever since. She works with people as a sort of positivity coach and helps those down on themselves gain self love and understanding - even if all it takes is a make over. She does this both magically and non-magically. The problem is she doesn't have someone who will do that for her. Without love and trust, who will she turn to besides her family?
