Irey had her earbuds in with music playing loudly that she didn’t even notice the other person talking. “Wait what?” She turned looking around before realizing they were talking to her. “Oh nah its not my seat I just was really into this song.”
kenny furrowed their brow at the young girl as they crossed their arms over their chest. “ do you normally just walk around cafes with headphones in just listening to music? or is it just the song that has made you weird? “ they sarcastically exclaimed.
The kindness was unexpected, but Natalia takes the seat with a soft smile. “Thank you.” She says unsure as to what they were going to do. She wonders if she should be used to people making GROSS comments whether it be because she was a Mutant or because she was a woman. She hates both situations, and tries to avoid such confrontation if possible. Her gaze watches as they approach the man, and when they return she leans in closer. “What did you do? Either way thank you. I never know what to do in those situations. I’m Natalia, but you can call me Nat if you’d like.” She introduces herself with a grin.
kennedy knew that sometimes they came off as a intimidating, the resting bitch face was real with this one but when it came to the safety of other people especially from a gross cis hetero-man, kenny went into full protect mode. they sat back into their seat, taking a sip of their shake before offering the girl a smirk instead of a smile. “ just ruptured his eardrum, he’ll be fine - kind of. “ the yelling of the man grew louder as he started to point to his ear and at them. “ i’m kennedy but kenny is cool too. “
Natalia turns around slowly to be careful not to bump anyone, but with a soft smile to try and be friendly. “No, my apologies as I didn’t mean to hover. I was just waiting for that man to leave over there because he made some comments that made me uncomfortable.” She says while placing a hand on her hip. Another hand with her phone in it.
kennedy stood up immediately as the girl explained why she was hovering, normally they’d just ignore comments but this was different and they weren’t going to let this guy make any of girls feel uncomfortable. “ take this seat. “ they quickly stated before making their way over to the guy who’d bothered the girl, learning real close to his ear. one thing people didn’t really realize about sound manipulation was that it could be very dangerous if they concentrated it the right way. they whispered into the mans ear and smugly walked back to the table while the man started freaking out. “ don’t worry, he won’t be making comments let alone hearing them for a while. “ they smirked as they sat back down in the chair next to the girl, they just simply ruptured their eardrum something that was easily fixable by a doctor with some hearing loss of course.
kennedy was strapped for cash, having no living relatives and a dwindling bank account that was being used to pay for their tuition, they had to resort to petty thievery to just afford food which they weren’t against at all. today’s breakfast, lunch and dinner was a chocolate milkshake. “ what am i in your assigned seat or somethin’? “ ken exclaimed sarcastically as they noticed someone looking like they were hovering around them.
Sylvia stared uninterested at her phone, swiping absentmindedly at the dating app she had open. “If another man messages me pretending to be a woman, I may just swear these apps off altogether.” She said, annoyance clear in her tone. “It seems easier than cutting men out of my life entirely.”
the black haired individual raised a brow at the woman who exclaimed an annoyance. their voice was enough to get them to look away from the music theory homework they weren’t even really paying too much attention to. “ do it. i cut men out years ago and look, my skin is glowing. “ kenny joked as they shifted in their seat, moving their body to face the other person. “ those apps are basically just a breeding ground for catfishers and scammers, female or not. its just a big waste of time if you’re askin’ me “
“fuckin — ” abby was very clearly frustrated. hunched over her books, hair clenched in her fists, she couldn’t seem to get any of her studying done for some reason. maybe it was the person sitting next to her who thought no one could hear the music they were blasting in their headphones. “hey,” she called to a random passerby. “can you quiz me on these terms? maybe i can focus better that way.”
kenny usually would stay away from most studying areas mostly because they didn’t study and sometimes they worried if they stayed there too long they might end up getting the urge to do so. they weren’t a dumb kid, nor were they a genius so honestly they didn’t care because their grades were always average. “ i’d rather stab myself in the eye with a spoon. “ they replied quickly to the other’s request. “ though i’ll give you kuddos, the music your killing your eardrums with isn’t too bad. “ kennedy added as they pointed her earbuds.

BIO ( TW; death )
siobhan mcdougal was dead and had been for over a decade when kennedy was born. how they were born, no one knows. how a dead woman could give birth was an unanswerable question, especially since that same dead woman had been reanimated into the silver banshee, a villain with deadly vocal chords. immediately after they were born, the silver banshee disappeared, leaving little kennedy in the hands of their uncle beven. their origins were kept a secret from kennedy as they grew up, beven not wanting to worry a young child about something that may not even have any effect on them. growing up in ireland, kennedy lived a pretty normal life as some would call it. that is, until they realized at 12 that they could manipulate sound. beven had no clue what other effects their mother’s new condition could of had on kennedy and immediately withdrew them from school, homeschooling them until they finally graduated. beven lied to kennedy about their abilities, telling them their mother was a mutant, the only one in the family and that’s where they got their abilities from. they believed that for years until the day of their eighteenth birthday, the silver banshee appeared. finding out that beven had lied about kennedy’s origins, the silver banshee attacked him, leaving him to die in kennedy’s arms. in this moment, beven finally revealed that the silver banshee was their mother and that he had tried to keep them safe but the curse may come for them too. kennedy was shook by this experience, their world was just a bunch of lies and they didn’t really know what to do. they spent months coming to terms with what their life was turning into before starting to actually live again. they tried to embrace their abilities, using them to hone their natural musical talents. that’s what brought them to paragon, their musical program and also their intrigue about what america is all about since it’s always talked up so much.
* kennedy is destined to die. they can’t do a thing about it and no one else can either. being born of a banshee, they are born cursed just like siobhan was. they don’t know when it’s coming or how it’s going to happen but they do have their suspicions that they’re going to die some day and become a banshee like their mother. bc of this, they have kind of stopped being wary. for a while they were super cautious, living life like walking on egg shells but they just got so annoyed with that life that they just said fuck it. if they’re going to die, they’re going to die doing something they wanted to do.
