"You cut up a thing that’s alive and beautiful to find out how it’s alive and why it’s beautiful, and before you know it, it’s neither of those things, and you’re standing there with blood on your face and tears in your sight and only the terrible ache of guilt to show for it."

{ Childhood/Family Life }
Kelley's parents both came from money so it was no surprise that they continued a lifestyle of luxury when they started their own family. They married shortly after meeting and had two children within the first two years of their marriage. They had only wanted two children, a boy and a girl, and got that with Taryn and Reese, so when Kelley came along eight years later, they were both caught off guard. Their dreams of having an athletic and intelligent son was fulfilled with Reese and of a beautiful and prim daughter with Taryn, so there was little need or expectations for Kelley, especially while her siblings were still living at home.
Her parents only expected her to put on a smile and speak kindly to their friends at parties and not tarnish their reputation and for a while, Kelley did just that. She was a good kid who showed exceptional skill academically but as she grew into her teenage years, she became more rebellious. There was no real reason for it at first. Maybe she wanted her parents to take more notice in her but she wasn't doing it solely for attention and honestly just enjoyed the wild party-filled life that she was indulging in. Her parents didn't approve of what she did but as long she didn't do anything outrageous enough to embarrass them, they rarely addressed their concerns with her.
The breaking point came this past summer when Kelley was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. She was spending a week at her family's summer home in Newport with a few friends and after a night of drinking, ended up crashing her father's Audi into a tree. At age sixteen, she didn't even have her real license yet, so between that and being five years under the legal drinking limit, the cops had no choice but to bring her down to the station. Her parents flew up and bailed her out within a few hours but if that incident wasn't bad enough, it happened in almost the exact same manner two weeks later. This time however, she was with some guy she was hooking up with. Luckily neither of them were hurt in the crash and because he wasn't drinking, they switched seats before the police arrived and Kelley was only charged with underage drinking. It was a small price to pay compared to what could have happened had she been charged with a second DUI, or even worse, hurt someone, but the second incident was enough to force her parents into concern.
They sent her to various therapists and counselors, have banned her from driving- although the government already did so when they suspended her license until she turns 21, and are claiming to be cracking down on her drinking. Surprisingly, she has decreased her drinking habits but in place of that, has begun smoking weed and texting various guys from Saint Jude's. Although she doesn't intend to pursue a real relationship with most of them, or really any of them, she enjoys the attention and is using it as a time killer.
{ High School Career }
Kelley had maintained a rank in the top 5% of her class throughout high school, despite her image of being careless. She is currently a senior at the school because she was pushed up a grade in elementary school, but only came to Constance during sophomore year. She had originally been attending a rival preparatory school but was asked to leave after she was caught downing a flask of vodka in the school bathroom. To her parents' pleasure, she hasn't gotten into any major trouble at Constance, besides occasionally skipping a class or two.

{ Good personality traits }
Fun, intelligent, outgoing, accepting, independent, flirty
{ Bad personality traits }
Impulsive, lazy, reckless, unreliable, selfish, aggressive
{ Personality }
Kelley differs from many of Manhattan's rich girls because of how brazen and reckless she acts. She cares very little of what people think of her, or at least she acts that way, and is selfish in the sense that she will usually only do something if it's what she wants to do and if it benefits her. While many of her peers indulge in parties and alcohol on weekends in moderation, Kelley's life revolves around them and it's probably what most people associate her with. She's the definition of a wild child, being reckless, impulsive, and rarely thinking about the future consequences of her actions.
She's definitely fun to be around and gets along with most people, but does tend to be somewhat sarcastic and blunt. She likes joking around and doesn't care if what she says hurts someone's feelings if she truly feels that way. Unlike many of the girls she goes to school with, Kelley tries to stay away from cliques. She doesn't like the idea of having to be tied down to girls and having to stand by them even when she knows they've done wrong, and dislikes all of the social responsibilities associated with it. She finds most of the girls she goes to school with to be spoiled brats but knows that in some ways, she is too, so as long as she's drunk, she rarely has problems with them. However different she may be from some of her peers, she's still sociable and enjoys company, just in her on her own terms.
In her early teen years, Kelley was definitely a hopeless romantic. She dated a boy two years her senior and truly thought she in love until she found out that he had been cheating on her throughout their entire 15 month relationship. Once that relationship ended, Kelley became more emotionally guarded than ever. She can't stand the idea of ever being cheated on and humiliated like that again, and so instead of settling down with one guy, she likes to toy with their minds. She leads them on for weeks and will sometimes give in and hookup with them, but most of the time, she leaves them hanging. Her reputation of being a tease is pretty accurate but Kelley isn't embarrassed of it. She likes the power she has over boys who want her but like any girl, even if she doesn't want to show it, Kelley still dreams of a boy who will cause her to actually want to settle down.
{ Greatest joys in life }
Partying, sleeping, concerts, baking
{ Greatest fears }
Drowning, rape, overdosing, being arrested
{ Life philosophy }
Kelley lives in the moment and rarely thinks about the future consequences of her actions if it's what she wants to do in the presence. However, she also has made it somewhat of a motto to not get too attached to anyone. She's scared of commitment and the possibility that even if she does commit to someone, they could wake up one morning and leave her with nothing. She struggles with opening up to people and has found it to be easier to just keep her feelings to herself.

{ Parents }
George Hadley | Father | Age 52
George Hadley is the owner of one of the most prominent record labels in the world. He prides himself in his businesses and is extremely serious when it comes to work, so Kelley tarnishing his reputation in any way is, of course, unwelcome. George dedicated most of his parenting time to Reese, his only son, and secondly to Taryn, so he had little time or energy left for Kelley. After her run-ins with the law this summer, their relationship has become even more strained and nearly all of their communication is done via text.
Rachel Hadley | Mother | Age 48
Rachel Hadley is a world renowned chef who owns her own chain of high end restaurants, has written various cookbooks and produced multiple lines of cookware. She is currently working with Food Network to produce her own television show. Like George, Rachel was never very involved in Kelley's life. She didn't cast her off or anything, but she had already fulfilled her desires of motherhood with her two older children and wanted to focus more on her career by the time that Kelley came along. Their relationship isn't the best but it's not all Rachel's fault. She does tend to be very nit-picky and critical of almost everything Kelley does, but Kelley also purposely goes against her mother's wishes. Although they are frequently at each other's throats, Kelley does want her mother's approval.
{ Siblings }
Taryn Hadley | Sister | Age 25
Kelley idolized her older sister for much of her childhood but when she started acting out, her sister was quick to express how she didn't approve of what Kelley was doing. Being the rebellious child she was, Kelley decided that she didn't need her sister and pretty much cut her out of her life for a year or so. They have been slowly working on mending their relationship but Kelley's actions this year proved to be a setback between them. Taryn is in the process of creating a clothing line, got married a year ago and is currently pregnant with her first child.
Reese Hadley | Brother | Age 24
The only thing that Reese and Kelley share is their intelligence. Reese is currently enrolled at John Hopkin's medical school with plans of becoming a brain surgeon. The two have never been extremely close but he's probably the only person in the family that she's never had a real blowout with.
