Drug and alcohol use and abuse. Abandonment. Death.First Impressions
Resting Bitch Face. Wow, does this girl have it in spades. Kady has mastered the art of looking disinterested, and displeased. it's a defense mechanism; she doesn't trust easily, and she much prefers that people think she's a complete bitch than risk letting her walls down. You wanna get to know the real Kady? Good luck. Too many letdows. Too many betrayals. Cracking through the armor that Kady has herself wrapped up in is going to be harder than, well, the armor itself.Don't let the rough exterior fool you, though. There's a part of Kady burried deep that just wants to be loved. She wants to be enough for someone, but that deep rooted fear of betrayal and let down keeps that part of her locked up tight. Instead, she pretends not to care, even if she'd go to the ends of the earth to help others. There's a reason why she runs a
This is not a two-way street, however. She'd rather rip off her own fingernails than ask someone else for help - especially in her home timeline where you don't know who to trust. She shoulders her own burdens, usually to her own detriment. Drugs and alcohol have become her coping mechanisms in the past, though she wants to think she's (mostly) put those all behind her.
She doesn't like to waste her time with theoreticals. She's a very practical kind of person. She needs to see it. To feel it. She doesn't like the uncertainties of maybes, or what-ifs, which is hard to reconcile with her desire to learn. She's extremely intelligent, knowing how to speak and read a number of languages, and how to play the piano.
The life she's led has forced her to learn how to manipulate people, to lie, and to steal - all in the name of survival. She hates it, but it's necessary.
Game Entry
Kady was running, bringing up the rear of a small group of hedges she was moving to a new safehouse. She was turning to cast a spell at the BoD, but something went a little funky, and instead of the blasting spell she'd intended, a portal opened up beneath her.Skills & Abilities

History & Headcanons
ARTISTThe one thing that Hannah did take the time and effort to teach Kady, during her brief periods of sobriety, was magic. Hannah was a hedge witch, and wanted to make sure that Kady knew all the best tricks in order to best make it through the kind of life they led. Really she just wanted someone versed enough in magic that they could help her with her schemes
Kady studied a lot of ink magic in high school, giving herself a tattoo that let her see perfectly in the dark. While she mostly kept her head down, and tried to stay out of trouble, she was often drawn into the wrong kinds of circles. She went through a pretty bad drinking and drug phase, which ended with a stint in rehab when she was nineteen.
Her story didn't really begin to take shape until she was in her mid-twenties, when a catastrophic event led to magic being exposed to the world, and subsequently outlawed. The event in question? An unspeakable horror known only as The Beast was let loose upon the world. So much death and destruction followed in its wake, and the amount of magic that it took to defeat it was beyond any one person - it had taken a group of people, led by the now infamous Quentin Coldwater, to bring it down. It came with the unfortunate side effect of exposing magic to the wider world, which was not well received in the slightest. Magic became outlawed, and the Bureau of Defense was created to help hunt down those who weilded it.
Life after the banning of magic became hard. Now that the ordinaries knew of its existence, there were those who wanted nothing more than to snuff it out. When they weren't being rounded up by the Bureau of Defense, Magicians and Hedges alike were being killed, even hunted. Kady quickly found herself using her talents to help the Hedges and Magicians around her find safety, and escape detection. She helped cofound The Magician's Road - an underground railroad for magic users that consisted of a network of safehouses all across the US, which gained her some notoriety among the magical community.
