Character Profile: Kendall Ryan

Actress: Michelle Trachtenberg

"Though Pris was the one who plaited my hair and sewed up my clothes when I was little, I hated her because she was pretty and smart and everything I was not. Kip liked girls like that. And I wasn't like that, so he wouldn't like me."
~ Kendall Ryan

Full Name: Kendall Elizabeth Ryan

Age: 17

Appearance: She usually has bags under her eyes because she doesn't get enough sleep. Her hair is brown but in the sun it looks like it has red highlights. She has a very pale complexion because she is in the house most of the time.

Personality: She is very whiny sometimes, and she values her faith in God. If you make her mad, she won't hold a grudge and when she loves, she'll love with all her heart.

Hobbies: She likes to write poetry and listen to music, anything to take her mind off of things.

History: She remembers her mother, but for most of her life she has been living with Kip. Later on in the story, her past is revealed, but I won't say anything more. Don't want to give anything away.

Love Interest(s):

Kipling Fitzgerald - She has fallen in love with Kip because she thinks that they are alike. Even though he is verbally and physically abusive, she loves his flaws and will do anything to make him see that he cares for her too. The fact that he taught her all he knew, the fact that he raised her and protected her excuses all of his wrongs.

Lowell Fitzgerald - She doesn't hate Low, but she hates the feelings that he might have for her.

Ellis Parker - Ken meets him later on in the story, and then she realizes that maybe she's been wrong about love all along.

Chasing Pavements by Adele
