TURN ONS
romantic: kensington much prefers - and needs - someone who will be able to put up with her defensive sh*t. therefore, someone who won't get hurt by her attitude is something she will find attraction to, as well as someone who will love her regardless of her physical looks. she also enjoys someone who will look to express their love through actions or gifts of affection. deep inside, kensington would prefer a gentleman over a man who makes her do everything herself.

TURN OFFS
romantic: kensington absolutely despises anyone who's a crybaby over her defensive attitude. she doesn't deal with the soft exteriors and will not put up with their bullsh*t no matter who they are. people who tend to shy away from her capabilities are equally as unlikely for candidates as a partner. kensington doesn't enjoy the people who are only in it for the sex, as well.
sexual: see sexual turn ons above.
FACE CLAIM marie avgeropoulos.
when asking about appearance, kensington might outright laugh in your face. she will rarely ever show her natural face to a crowd of people. there is always something slightly off about her looks that leaves the obvious statement that she isn't comfortable with her natural features. perhaps it is purple eyes and a scar across her lips, or maybe a round faux pregnant belly and maroon-dyed hair. kensington refuses to show her natural face to anyone but herself, a mirror, and occasionally her scientists.
all that aside, kensington's natural body is actually a rather pretty one. she has richly chocolate brown hair, which falls down to the middle of her back. it's natural state is mainly straight, with a bit of a wave to the ends. no matter what color or texture her hair is, kensington will often style it in either a ponytail or messy braids. during her casual time, she will rarely have it up - instead choosing to let it lay flat and how it naturally would fall. her eyes are a clear green color but they rarely ever express emotions past a defensive, steely looking expression. they are almond shaped and are bordered with long brown eyelashes.
kensington's skin is pale, but it isn't purely white. she burns easily and tans rarely, but after she burns and peels there is often a faint speckling of freckles across her skin. these are more obviously found under her eyes and across her nose. kensington's face is angular and defined, with a bold jawline and a strong chin. she has a smooth, wide forehead and relatively full lips. kensington stands at the average height of five feet five inches tall. she has long legs, which take up the majority of her height, and a toned figure. she has a good deal of muscle on her body, but it doesn't give her the look of a bodybuilder. rather, it is lithe and lean muscle that tones her frame nicely and gives her arms, legs, and stomach more definition.
SCARS kensington doesn't have very many scars in her natural state, aside from a small, clean looking one on her lower back just over her spine.
BODY MODIFICATIONS kensington has a bit of a thing for tattoos, but has never actually had the chance to naturally modify her own skin. she copied a few off various people and often portrays them on her own body. they include a rose bud within a triangle on her left forearm, a feather on her left ribcage, and a pine tree on her right wrist. other than her faux tattoos, kensington has no other modifications to her natural body.
CLOTHING STYLE kensington's clothing choice vary depending on her mood. for the most part she wears a lot of dark wash or black skinny jeans paired with high top converse. her tops tend to be regular t-shirts on the looser side, ranging from a multitude of colors, and a flannel or black leather jacket to match.

PASSIVE OR AGGRESSIVE kensington is definitely more on the aggressive side of things, but she can get passive if it's around the right people that she's created a relationship with.
BOLD OR SHY kensington is a bold sort of character, who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. she will always jump into things and doesn't give two flying f*cks what anyone else thinks.
CAUTIOUS OR CARELESS kensington is a bit of a mixture between cautious and careless. she can throw caution to the wind at times and do whatever she wants without thinking of the outcome, but her careful training and specific instructions often turn her more toward the careful side of things.
BOOK OR STREET SMART for the most part, kensington is book smart. she knows her stuff regarding books and knowledge, but actually using it in the real world is a different matter. it doesn't stop her from being bad*ss, though.
INTELLIGENCE kensington is extremely intelligent and it shows. she has a good ability to study and retain things with specific clarity and it often helps her out in the long run.
WISDOM despite not having a huge degree of experience in the normal up and downs of life, kensington has the personality that deems her wise enough to give good advice. while she's blunt with getting it across, she still often has a good word or two to put in. applying it to her own life, however, is a different matter entirely.
CURIOSITY kensington is always incredibly curious about the world around her. she is almost scientific in the degree at which she wants to know about things. this allows her a well-rounded set of skills; as soon as she finds something new, everyone knows kensington will quickly be trying to master that new thing.
BRAVERY bravery goes hand in hand with boldness for kensington. she has both traits equally, and it lends to a fiery sort of personality. she's willing to spring into precarious or different situations for the most part, but sometimes her carefulness will stop her in her tracks.

DISLIKES hospitals, playing video games, white chocolate, and snow.
POWERS/ABILITIES kensington has the ability to shapeshift, but it is mainly only into humans. she can morph her body into something she has never seen, using creativity, but in order to shift into the exact body of someone currently living, she must see a full body portrait of them. she can also obtain their powers if they have them. kensington is also extreme skilled at hand-to-hand combat as well as firing arms and knife combat.
HOBBIES in terms of hobbies, kensington doesn't really have any. she enjoys listening to music, but her collection isn't incredibly large.
STRENGTHS wide range of skill sets, doesn't get easily offended, always willing to learn, and is always on the defense.
SHORTCOMINGS isn't always completely masterful at her techniques, has a hard time opening up to others, doesn't have a ton of street experience, and freezes up around scientists/doctors/medical equipment.
kensington's story is actually a dreadfully sad one. originally born in kensington, new hampshire, she was the accidental production between a college freshman and a senior from the same college. they had both met at a mutual friend's party and gotten drunk together after just meeting that night. the senior found the freshman extremely attractive and pushed her into a random room where he proceeded to rape her. the freshman, being a christian girl grown up in a religion that abortions were a sin, carried through with her accidental pregnancy.
she did, however, give her daughter up to adoption right after giving birth. kensington thus spent the first three years of her life hopping from one foster home to another but never settling with a family willing to wholeheartedly adopt her. meanwhile, the united states had a government-funded project working secretively. they called it "operation deadringer" and it was led by two brilliant biological and chemical scientists: dr. rachel matthews and dr. andrew brookes.
the main goal of the operation was creating an injection serum that would mold with the patient's bloodstream and alter their genetic coding. it would thus voluntarily allow the patient to morph their body into any sort of human being they wanted to become - therefore giving them a "dead ringer" or an exact duplicate of someone else in the world. operation deadringer's goal and plan was that they could use the injection serum to boldly empower the united states army and give them an added leverage to their weaponry. now, each solider could become whomever they wished to be - enemies, presidents, spies, children - and turn the odds of the wars dramatically in the united states' favor.
the trial period for the injection serum was a long and lengthy process. the serum had to be compatible with the patient's genetic code, they found out. dr. rachel and dr. brookes eventually resorted to pulling young children who wouldn't be remembered out of the foster care system and injecting them with the serum. they came across kensington and injected her with the serum when she was three and a half years old.
magically, the serum worked. although the process of her body adjusting to the change was traumatic and dangerous, kensington pulled through and came out on top. the scientists were excitedly encouraged by their breakthrough, kensington being the first and only patient to adapt to their serum. due to there only being one patient who worked with the serum, operation deadringer had to change their goal a bit. rather than using the serum on the entire united states army, they began turning kensington into a super-soldier.
from four years old onward, kensington was trained how to use her ability as well as in hand-to-hand combat, firing arms, and knife combat. in between lengthy, fatiguing training sessions, she was being tested on and injected with countless other serums in hopes of improving her capabilities. some of them worked, others did not. the scientists spent every waking moment working with her and kensington grew to despise them and everything she had to do in that damned laboratory.
when kensington was twenty three, she was put out into the field on her first mission. she worked just as they had planned, and everything went exceptionally smooth. however, with kensington's hate growing more and more passionate, that mission was her only government-approved one. a couple days afterwards, she attempted to break out of the laboratory. in a passionate attempt to tell others about what had been happening and the amount of abuse she had been through, kensington took to the nearest city and showed everyone her capabilities.
rather than accepting her and rebelling against operation deadringer as she had hoped, the city shied away from her and ran for cover. everyone thought she was an alien, even when she resumed her natural face and pleaded for their forgiveness and understanding. it was then that the government arrived to recapture her. operation deadringer was deemed a failure and kensington was placed in lock-down within a government prison. from then on, she has remained until she was called to join the suicide squad.
