| | |
| ==Personality==
| |
| She felt that she tended to drive almost everyone away as a result of her personality. This may be because she did not respect the privacy of others.{{cite}}

| Kenzie was familiar with details regarding the true nature of [[passenger]]s.<ref>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: If you think about it, with powers and all, the center of your being could include the vast monster in another dimension that’s all hooked up into you. Passenger stuff. The center of mass could be in the middle of an alien god monster the size of a mountain or moon. I imagine it has the energy of a small star stored in it. - [[Glow-worm P.7]]</ref>

| | |
| ===Relationships===
| |
| | |
| ====Wards====
| |
| Kenzie had largely alienated the members of her old [[Wards]] team, a fact she regretted. However, she did discuss the possibility of one day working with her old leader again.<ref name="P.7"/>
| |
| | |
| ====Treefort====
| |
| Heart_Shaped_Pupil was a member of the Treefort_Lookout chatroom on [[Parahumans Online]], a room for discussing current events and searching for info. She seemed friendly with the users there, who provided them with information.
| |
| | |
| She was also a member of the connected chatrooms Pillowfort_Lazytalk (where they discussed their personal life) and Snowfort_Mission.
| |
| | |
| However, in reality the chatrooms ware filled entirely with chat-bots Kenzie had constructed herself, that acquired their information from automated PHO searches.<ref name="P.7"/> She was in the process of constructing chatbots that would mimic her teammates' conversation styles when she was forced to disable the system.<ref>Executioner404: /Kill Goatfish<br>
| |
| Goatfish: WIP_Capbot is disconnecting…<br>Goatfish has left the conversation.<br>Executioner404: /kill Shameful_Manatee<br>Shameful_Manatee: WIP_Chrisbot is disconnecting…<br>Shameful_Manatee has left the conversation. - [[Glow-worm P.7]]</ref><ref>*HSP goes idle again. She returns to chat and an 'Executioner' joins chat, doing the rest of the /Kill work. HSP changes the channel name and deletes the text from the topic, then leaves while the executioner continues its work with her gone. - [https://redd.it/7ckqaj/ Synopsis by Wildbow]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ====Chatroom Group====
| |
| Heart_Shaped_Pupil is a member of a [[Chatroom group|group of parahumans]] that primarily communicate via [[PHO]].
| |
| | |
| HSP's writing style irritated their teammate [[Strange_Mammal]].<ref name="P.3e1"/> She claimed possible romantic interest in him.<ref name="P.6">[[Glow-worm P.6]]</ref> In conversation with Strange_Mammal, HSP revealed that she had been observing Mammal's private conversations with other users. Mammal had known they were being watched for some time, noting that their stalker was too skilled not to be watching their activities on PHO.<ref name="P.6">[[Glow-worm P.6]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| She professed to be an admirer of [[Mangled_Wings]],<ref name="P.3">[[Glow-worm P.3]]</ref> and had agreed to work with them as an independent villain at a later date, although she was initially unsure if Mangled-Wings was serious about this. Mangled_Wings considered them one of the few people worthy of her attention and investment.<ref name="P.7"/>
| |
| | |
| ==Abilities and Powers==
| |
| Kenzie is a [[tinker]]<ref name="P.7"/><ref name="II2.5e1"/> who has stated she specializes in cameras and immobile terminals, with little ability for offense or defense.<ref name="II2.7 e7">“Are you hiding a jetpack inside that raincoat, or are those rocket boots?” I asked.<br><br>“I wish,” Kenzie said. “I can’t do that stuff. I make cameras and inconveniently big boxes. My best stuff is inconveniently big, box-shaped cameras.”<br><br>“Big boxes?” I asked.<br><br>“The term in my file is emplacements. Terminals, tech, and computers big enough they’re hard to move around. Like turrets, but I can’t really make good weapons or defensive things.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/30/flare-2-7/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.7]]</ref>

| | |
| Her power was useful, so much so that she worried she might be kidnapped by people seeking to exploit it.<ref>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: you’re a smart guy and you were a good leader. you know how these things work. you know my power has its uses. others would kidnap me for it. I am offering myself to you and you would be stupid to turn me down. - [[Glow-worm P.7]]</ref> [[Chris]] stated that she would make a terrifying villain should she choose to.<ref name="II2.6"/>
| |
| === Equipment ===
| |
| She was able to construct a parallel [[Parahumans Online]] server, giving her a faster connection and allowing her to view private information on the site. She also constructed a group of relatively sophisticated chatbots (see Treefort above), although she stated that this was not her specialty, and she was not capable of creating true AI.<ref name="P.7"/>
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| | |
| ===Background===
| |
| Kenzie stated that she was not part of a [[multitrigger]] group.<ref>Cap: I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with the cluster-trigger clusterfuck<br>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: Amen.<br>Mangled_Wings: Agreed. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2017/10/31/glow-worm-p-6/ Excerpt] from [[Glow-worm P.6]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| She was a heroine assigned the [[Baltimore]] [[Ward]]s team alongside capes named Aven (or AvenG), [[Houndstooth]], 10-59 and Pigeonhole. This ended abruptly with [[Gold Morning]].<ref name="P.7"/>
| |
| | |
| ===[[Gold Morning]]===
| |
| She was stated to have participated in Gold Morning and "actually helped".<ref>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: iv’e grown up some<br>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: i was there for the end of the world<br>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: i did stuff. i actually really helped<br>Houndstooth: Absolutely - [[Glow-worm P.7]]</ref> It's safe to assume that, as all involved tinkers, she participated in the building of inter-dimensional cannon, that finished off [[Zion]]'s true body.<!--cite speck where the tinkers try to make a dimensional ram and then are kept on working even with out Khepri there -->

| | |
| ===[[Glow-worm]]===
| |
| At some point, she met up with the other members of the [[Chatroom group]].
| |
| | |
| When she asked to meet Strange_Mammal privately and he refused, Kenzie revealed that she had been surveilling them and asked about details of their power.<ref name="P.6"/>
| |
| | |
| Kenzie used her Treefort bots to track [[Tattletale]] and [[Weld]] as assistance for her new teammates ([[of5]] and Strange_Mammal, respectively).
| |
| | |
| Shortly afterward, Parahumans Online moderators discovered traffic from her Treefort (see above) and asked her to shut the shop down, since it provided undue stress to PHO network. When she volunteered to donate her DYI Parahumans Online server, they requested she shut that down as well because of security reasons.<ref>She asks if they want to use her server, and gets an alarmed response: use of a server the way she describes it could give her a 'man in the middle' view and access to things. No - offer definitely refused. - the PHO staff member leaves. - [https://redd.it/7ckqaj/ Synopsis by Wildbow]</ref>
