Personality: At the core, Kendra is a serious person. Everything she does is with a serious approach, even if it might not seem as though that's the case. She's generally friendly to those she meets, willing to offer assistance to most anyone that might need it. One fault she has is assuming what others will do or say, and reacting to that. Sometimes she's right, but other times it just makes her look like an ass. But put her onto a battle field, give her a target or a goal, and nothing will stop her before she tears them down. Brutal and fierce to the core.
Late nights, long hours, extra shifts - She lives for it. Kendra breathes her work. Workaholic is a bit of an understatement. Occasionally, she ends up falling asleep on her desk at work and just continuing investigations once she wakes up. Ever since she was a child, her ambitions have been high. Growing up in the slums with only her brother made her want to forge a better life - to get out of the hellhole they lived in.
Background: A lot of people get caught up in the chaos and destruction that fills the Slums. Families are ripped apart, by death in most cases. Family doesn't really mean all that much in Novus, it never really had. Though, Kendra and Parker never really fit that mold.
From a young age, the two of them were alone. Born to a single mother in the slums - Twins. Not something their mother expected, but nothing she would do to change it. Kendra was the older of the two, and the protective one. Parker on the other hand loved to get into messes. Once they hit the age of 10, things took a turn for the worse. Their mother died at her Lower Class factory job, leaving the two alone with nothing but the little bit of money she had scraped together and their own wits. Life in the slums was hard, but it proved even more difficult for two kids that could barely even take care of themselves.
Some people were nice and helped them out - seeing as they had no family, giving them errands to run in exchange for small amounts of food or money to buy clothes with. It was a hard life, but all they really knew. Everything was going as well as it could, until the twins turned fourteen.
It turned out those errands happened to be the two of them used as transport for illegal materials and magic. Of course, they didn't know that detail until later when they arrived at the drop point in a Lower Class area. The SP had gotten a tip about someone using kids to transport goods and went to put a stop to it. The traders put up a fight inside the building. An explosive fight. One of the smugglers threw a frag grenade, and Kendra threw herself in front of Parker. Freshly scarred across her face and left arm, that incident is what set the two of them down very different paths.

After that, Kendra went straight laced. She cut her personal ties with the smuggling ring and started applying for real work in real places. She took on a basic construction job in Lower Class, though convincing the owner was a bit more difficult than she expected. It was hard work, enough to make her fingers bleed some days - but it put food on the table and let her afford time to actually study and prepare herself for what was to come once she hit 16.
She tested up to Lower Class and continued her work with the construction crew, focusing on honing her body to prepare for what she truly wanted in life. Once she had spent two years working to earn enough money for herself, she was accepted into the Police Academy at 18. She excelled. Within the first 6 months, she was at the top of her class, and by the time her second year rolled around - She quickly volunteered to take on a first year as her partner to show them the ropes ( and earn herself some credit ). And that was how she met the lovely Samuel Bind.
Their time together was memorable, and soon after her graduation she was chosen to become one of the Secret Police at the age of 20. Once Samuel graduated, she became his contact. Now he has to report to her on the status of his 'business' and she is to protect him during certain arrangements.
Years later at the age of 23, during another routine mission, a safe house raid, Kendra was caught in an explosion protecting her teammate. The action cost her her left arm, leaving her ribs scarred from the blast. She realized pretty quickly that no matter how indestructible she might have thought herself, it didn't mean she couldn't get torn down in a moments notice. [/ul]
