Katherine { Kit } Taylor

[Kit Taylor]

Name: Katherine Taylor
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Position: Librarian
Hometown: New Jersey
Family:

Kit's family, the ones she detests to speak of. Her cruel abusive parents would be a fairly good place to start.

George Taylor - Father of the Tobacco Pipe, the one who never came home, for he feared her mother. The maths teacher who lived in his car in the school parking lot. His decease was horrible, but Kit could never feel true meaningful sorrow--her father was never around for her to know him at all.

Anne-Marie Taylor - Mother Dearest, the one who beat Kit to pieces after long nights and many Margaritas. The woman was harsh and she lives on in a pitiful mourning state.

Clarice and Genevieve Taylor - Twin spawns of evil, ones who tattled and stole in Kit's name. Ones who bullied and locked Kit out in the rain. Ones who Kit has neither seen nor spoken to since her graduation.

Then of course, there was Michael.

Michael Holland - deceased fiancé, Kit's one and true love. The who died on their night of engagement, in a car wreck. The one who belonged to the ring Kit still wears on her ring finger. He haunts her every dream.

Personality:

Kit has been through a lot in her life, and though she is torn apart, depressed and broken on the inside, she is composed and light-hearted on the outside.

Since the death of her fiancé, Kit has never had good luck with men. Being a hopeless romantic, she dreams of the perfect companion, her appearance only getting her so far with heartless perverts. She suffers when people look at her, but honestly, she just wants to have someone again.

Kit was originally on the path to being a singer, but as life brought her down harshly, she abandoned her dream for a different path.

When it comes to the rules, she is indeed quite a strict teacher. Overall, though, she is actually a fun, caring--tough, but fair--teacher. Kit can't help but have favorites, but she does listen and try to help every student.

Kit is headstrong and stubborn. She is extremely loyal to her friends. She, like most, can be exceptionally sarcastic, and she has a good sense of humor. Kit is creative, mysterious, and quirky all in her insane self.

Appearance:

Kit is really quite fit, and so she appears to have a very flattering figure. She stands at an average height, and stands so with her casual attire. Kit takes pride in how she looks, refusing to dress for any man. She is more comfortable dressing in a shirt and jeans, rather than in some flashy dress.
Her olive skin glimmers in the sunlight, and her soft brown eyes are occasionally by glasses.
Her hair is dark brown, with natural streaks of different browns all throughout. She usually wears it down, though at times she likes to wear it up. Tight and proper buns are never Kit's style.
Kit doesn't wear much makeup, but when she does, it's usually for a reason. She has her ears pierced and usually wears hoops. Around her neck hangs a gold Christian cross necklace.

History:

Katherine Taylor--Kit for short--was the lovechild of George and Anne-Marie Taylor. She was born into a well-groomed house in New Jersey, clad with a rose-garden and darling picket fence. She was raised with a microphone in one hand, and her other on the piano keys. However, as soon as she was ten, it all came crashing down.
Her mother gave in to her alcoholic lifestyle and her father was driven from the house, to the safety of his shiny Chevy Impala.
Up until her sixteenth birthday, Kit lived in terror of her mother, struggling with her school work and singing part time at small gigs around her neighborhood. She was drawn into novels of romance and happily ever after.
As soon as she turned sixteen, Kit made the decision to put away her microphone, and get her head out of the clouds.
At graduation, Kit wrote a book, one that was not upon the bestseller's list, nor gave her movie deals. Her book simply gave her enough money to move out and into an apartment.
At age 28, Kit met Michael. He was the kindest person she had ever known. They grew closer until the one question arose. They were engaged a few nights after Kit turned 30. But that night, Michael was in a car wreck, and hours later in hospital, he was pronounced dead.
Kit lived the life of a widow for years, until an old friend came to knock some sense into her. She took a sub job at a Elementary School, before she found her calling for books.
She worked a year and a half as the Librarian for another high school, until she heard of Crescent Hill. This is her first year here, and she hopes to make the best of it.

Experience:

+ She studied literature at a prestigious college, and took a liking to Western Literature.
+ Kit then wrote a book that gave her enough money to move out of her parent's house.
+ She taught at an Elementary School after getting back on her feet.
+ Kit was a Librarian at another high school up until now.

Hopes/Goals:

+ To continue living a real life, away from pitiful mourning.
+ To not hurt again from death or from a broken heart.
+ To teach children Western Literature well and assist the Librarian as best she can as their helper.
+ To put away the bike, and perhaps afford some form of a car.
+ To find true love.
+ To write another novel.
