Personality/Attributes
Personality/Attitude:
Kelsey is headstrong to the bone. A stubborn woman, she doesn't stop till she gets what she wants. Her strong work ethic and impeccable business savvy attitude she learned her from her father has earned her a spot in the competition to get ahead. and although her father wanted a boy badly to take the family business once he was retired or dead, Kelsey has proved herself a worthy candidate, so much so that her father allows her to run her own businesses. Kelsey is thankful for that, but being as smart as she is, a women doing business in the 1920s was risky, mainly due to the economy being mostly male dominated for centuries. And this outlook has given her a very hard reproach to men and her business. she keeps them at arms length save a small handful, and holds a tenacious grip onto her profits and deals. She is rarely seen with a man on her arm, usually it's strictly business or pleasure manners. But Kelsey is cunning, she knows her beauty and wealth brings many suitors and partners, who think her beauty is a lack of intelligence and intend to dupe her out of what's right fully hers. So she's cunning, Kelsey has learned to use her beauty as a weapon, men stupid and hormonal enough to let her sink her teeth into their spines, draining of all their worth until they are no use to her anymore. But she is still human, still with cravings and desires she only indulgdes in when she is to herself or with company she trusts. Even with all her negative qualities, once made an ally Kelsey is a pretty powerful force, her loyalty knows no bounds once it is earned, but, it can easily be taken away if she feels wronged in any way. When knowing Kelsey on a personal level she is very fun, and lax. Calm and precise when in her element, Kelsey can express bold humor and stinging sarcasm when insulted. Hates being constricted a singular confine of what it means to be a woman, Kels can curse like a sailor and drink like one as well. Never afraid to do her own dirty work, but also understand the benefit of keeping an image during the proper time and place.

Most Instructive/Painful/Memorable Experience:
1.) Since a very young age, Kelsey was starting to realize how she fit in the world as a woman, and she despised it. She was told at 13, as a woman, she was not up to the task of running her father's business because she wasn't a man, and that she should hurry up and get married to a proper suitor who could handle the position. The was the first time she ever cursed in front of her parents and the last. that was also the night she was raped by a venture partner of her fathers, who she bit on the hand and took a chunk of his skin with her. That was the beginning of her loathing of men
2.) Due to her mother being black, and her father white, it was very difficult for Kelsey to not only be taken seriously as a woman, but being respected all together with the simple fact that her skin tone was different. Kelsey's first business trip with her father was when she was 16, they had went to Mississippi to do some trades with former slaves owner, a lot of whom, still had a lot of power over the south. They met with a man who own a once large plantation. And every chance he got he made digenerate comments towards Kelsey. Her father could have put a stop to it. in fact the reason he made Kelsey's first business trip with him to the south was that he wanted her to he hard to the cruelty of the world they lived in. If she were to run his business after he left he needed her to understand the world wasn't nice, and there will always be people who will get at you any chance they got with any information they knew that could get under your skin. During a short tour of the land, Kelsey noticed the few black people that were still working the land one of them a young black boy. While Her father was busy chatting the man up she ventured out into the fields to talk to him. Up-close she was terrified to find all the bruises and scars all over his body, the glossy far off look he hand in his eyes. He could barely speak English and tried his hardest to ignore her. When she asked him about his family he simply stated they were sold off somewhere. When she asked him how he got those scares on his back he sad tiredly that he got them from his master. Kelsey knew what slavery was, that's how her mother explained how she got to France in the first place. She knew it was a big thing in America, and just recently was disbanned in America. For the rest of the night when Kelsey and her father returned to there sleeping quarters, They argued until early morning about Kelsey buying the young boy. She absolutely refused to leave without him. Finally her father gave in, and they bought his freedom the next day. every the next 11 years, Kelsey would go to back pockets of southern states where indentured slavery where still a thing and buy slaves their contracts so they could live in peace.
