eleboration of personality.
Kenzie is the kind of friend who really cares and invests in the relationship, regardless of whether or not the opposite party feels the same way. She likes to hug the members a lot and makes sure that they know they're loved. If she sees that a member is feeling down, she buys them their favorite snack. Whenever a member looks mad, she listens to their rant all the way through. She makes it a point to include members, like when they're having a conversation or when they're in an interview. She lets members borrow her things all the time. She likes to help people. 
Kenzie's on  the quiet side. She likes letting other people  talk and likes listening to others. During interviews, unless she is asked a question directly, she usually lets other members talk. When she does talk, she never raises her voice. She even laughs silently. She does initiate conversation with others once in a while when she wants to tell them something funny or something important, but she mostly keeps to herself.
However, what Kenzie lacks in words, she makes up for it with her actions. She can often be seen poking other members, pretending like she didn't do it. During interviews, she'll play around with other members hair, nodding at what they are saying. When she sees a camera, she usually does silly things with it, like make a funny face, pretend to punch it, or even shooting shots of other members with strange commentary. Sometimes she'll say something that makes everyone laugh the hardest. She also smiles a lot and she's just a generally silly person. 
Kenzie knows the value in hard work, so she always works hard at whatever she does, whether its working on a dance or learning a new language. She either goes all out or not at all. Even when she's playing a game, she'll get really into it, and plays it non-stop until she beats it. This also causes her to get very competitive because she feels like losing damages her pride. She likes finishing what she's started even though she hates it (like dieting). In a way, she is kind of prideful in what she has confidence in, which is why she works hard to be the best.
Kenzie is the kind of person who would hide her true feelings. She never voices out her concerns. If she is offended or mad, she doesn't respond verbally to anyone and overdoes things (eg. slamming the door instead of just closing it). If she feels uncomfortable, she'll look down and bite her lips. But if someone asks if she's okay, she looks back and just gives them a small smile and a nod. Sometimes she'll end up surprising members with new information, like the ability to imitate someone else, because she just didn't feel the need to share it before. She secretly writes lyrics on her phone, but always ends up scrapping them because she thinks its not good enough to show anyone. Kenzie is also sneaky. She sometimes takes things from other members and when she's done using it, she puts it back in the exact same spot. She's used other people's lotion, chargers, earbuds, or shoes without asking. When she's caught using it, she apologizes about it for days and even tries to buy something to make up for it, even if the other member says that Kenzie could have just asked. Maybe the reason why she steals is because she feels that asking someone to help her is like a burden for them.
 

background. (min. of 1 paragraph)
Kenzie had always loved artistic hobbies, like acting, singing, and dancing as a child but she never took regular classes. She was fairly smart and had been taking advanced courses in middle school, and the homework took up most of her time. Her parents always talked about her eventually going to a great college and getting a well-paying job. However, Kenzie found out about K-pop during middle school and that influenced her to start singing and dancing. She got more and more distracted by K-pop than with homework and she knew that she wanted to dance. She wanted to be a K-pop star. So one day, Kenzie secretly recorded a video of herself, dancing to of "Before the Dawn" by Infinite. She sent it to Pledis Entertainment and surprisingly, they liked it. The second round would be in South Korea for an on-site audition. She finally confessed to her parents about her audition and at first, her parents were totally against it. But after much begging, they could see how much she wanted it, so they went with her to Korea for a second audition, where she was able to get in to Pledis. In Korea, Kenzie struggled a lot. Kenzie lived with her aunt and uncle who happened to live near the Pledis building and her school. She wasn't completely fluent in the language and she was only able to make a few friends at school. Training took up a lot of her time and she found herself having trouble balancing time for studying and training. Kenzie dealt with a lot of stress, which led to mild depression. Although she was struggling in Korea, she kept reminding herself that this was the life that she chose and that she couldn't afford to go back on her decision. She had given up a stable life in America for this and she didn't even want to think about what would happen if she couldn't make it in Korea. She trained almost every day at Pledis, sometimes till midnight, sometimes later. Kenzie made sure not to let any day go to waste and trained even harder to try to impress the staff when it was announced that they would be forming a new girl group.

style.
Kenzie likes to wear baggy tops, such as t-shirts or sweaters. Usually they are neutral colors or have simple designs.  Sometimes she'll wear a tight shirt but those moments are rare. Although she likes keeping it loose up top, skinny jeans and leggings are definitely her thing. Kenzie may wear a tight miniskirt once in a while.  The type of shoes that she prefers to wear out most are heels and thick soled shoes. She worries about her height, and therfore wears shoes that will make her look taller. Her favorite color to wear is black, but she does wear other colors, mostly light, pastel shades.She hates wearing bright oranges, greens, and yellows. 
For formal events, Kenzie likes wearing tight clothes that exaggerate the smallness of her waist. She likes A-line skirts that end just above the knee, or a little past the knee. She hates maxi skirts because she trips over them frequently, although she can wear mermaid dresses. She likes to wear solid white, black, or any dark color, such as deep blues or reds. She prefers dresses that are simple with just a touch of something special, like a different colored sash, glitter, a bow, and so on. Of course, she cannot give up an opportunity to wear fancy heels, like stilletos (but not as high).

trainee life. (min. of 1 paragraph)Kenzie entered the company when she was 13 in 2011. She had auditioned for Pledis Entertainment by sending in a video of her cover of Infinite's "Before the Dawn." To her own surprise, she made it past the first round and was invited to perform in front of judges. As she was living in the U.S., she had to fly to Korea to proceed with the audition and she somehow made it in. She had no trouble fitting in at Pledis, in terms of dance. However, she felt tortured by the difficult lessons in everything else, such as singing or learning languages. The staff seemed to never be impressed. Nevertheless, she trained even harder to perfect everything. She started to go on a diet and didn't get enough sleep, but no matter how hard it was she just kept pushing herself to do it. By the time Seventeen debuted, Kenzie had become much more confident in dancing and had found talent in singing. Her singing was not as powerful as the other members' but she could still carry a tune and nail some high notes smoothly. She was also able to improve in language, both in her previously shaky Korean and in Japanese. Seeing Seventeen debut, Kenzie longed for the opportunity to do the same. She had grown close to some of the Seventeen members, particularly Joshua and Hoshi. When Pledis announced that a new girl group would be debuted, she trained herself harder than she ever had before to get the attention of Pledis staff. At last, her dreams came true when Pledis announced that she was going to debut. 

— you / loving me
love interest. Jimin of BTS
back-up. Baekhyun of Exo

status. Sunbae-Hoobae
first meeting. Their first meeting is in the variety show, "Hello Counselor" (or any other show, whatever). Kenzie ends up sitting next to Jimin. They say a few words to each other before the show starts. During the show, Kenzie and another member stand up to perform the dance to their new song, and as they go back to sit down, Kenzie slips a little (cuz she's SMOOTH) and Jimin catches her hand and an arm, and helps her sit back down. Her slight slip goes unnoticed by everyone else. 
interaction. Since they happen to be promoting at the same time, they continuously pass each other in the backstage area of music broadcast shows a few times. Kenzie usually bows or waves a shy "hello" and Jimin says it back to her with a large smile. Neither of them talk much.  Jimin comments on the Thirteen performance, and Kenzie shyly thanks him. They don't have many opportunities to meet after that, but when they do, they end up doing silly things together, like dancing to each other's songs.  Jimin does most of the talking while Kenzie makes a comment once in a while or just laughs at his stories. He can sometimes see through Kenzie's smiles when she's not feeling well and sometimes gets her to tell him her problems. They start chatting through Line, mostly in jokes. 

personality. (min of 1 paragraph)
Jimin is a very cheerful person and likes to smile a lot. He acts a little shy at first but once he's comfortable, he becomes talkative. Jimin is quite caring and he cares for the well-being of others. He's very silly, especially when he's around other people doing silly things, too. He's not easily offended but he's also not afraid to stand up for what he thinks is right. He gets defensive and doesn't stop arguing until he wins or if he feels as if the conversation isn't worth it anymore. 

— me / the author
comments. I can be fine with Lead Dancer, Lead Vocalist in Rozen also, I really don't mind. Is it okay that I made my character into a really dance-y kind of person, even though she's not a main dancer? Sorry. This is also my first apply fic, please take care of me >.<
suggestions. There should be a huge collaboration for an end of the year awards show. That way, people from other groups can interact more with the members of Thirteen (like my character... hehe). If my character can have a collaboration with Jimin, can they do a cover of Troublemaker's "Now"? Also, sorry that some of my explanations are lacking in length.
scene requests. 
Someone should definitely go out on WGM. Like, for sure. Then they can have sweet moments together (but not my character).
Kenzie and some other member are at the backstage area for some music broadcast show and then Big Bang greets them. After they leave, the two members go berserk (or Kenzie just goes berserk while the other member tells her to chill ).
The members are talking about guys at their dorm and who likes who and then they bring up Jimin. Kenzie just kind of blushes and the other members start teasing her about it. She doesn't say anything. 
Kenzie would be invited by Jimin to go into the BTS waiting room to show her dancing to a BTS song. Just a thought.
