Bay Kennish | Castle Thorne

IC INFORMATION


CHARACTER NAME: Bay Kennish
CANON: Switched at Birth
SIGN: The Star
FACTION: Kingdom of Thorne

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Bay’s general backstory.Bay is an aspiring artist from Kansas City. Raised by an ex-Baseball player father and full time homemaker mother, but born to a hairdresser and- professional scoundrel (the best way to describe Angelo). Who grew up uneasy how she didn't fit with her family, with all the whispers from their friends of how she didn't fit with her brother and parents.

She spent most of high school stewing in all these reminders she didn't fit, only able to put this behind her once she found out about her birth parents and her actual heritage. To find the lines between what parts of her are Kennish, and what parts are Vasquez or Sorrento. Eventually carving out her own path, and making herself comfortable in the world around her.

Essentially she's a headstrong, passionate, capable student, able to learn whatever she sets her mind to if she really wants it. Loyal to her family to the point of near stupidity (she's got a felony thanks to her sister, who did not get mentioned enough here more on that at the bottom of this). She is going to make messes and get in trouble but she means well I swear.

ANYTHING ELSE?:
Details on why Bay's DeafGifs are a bit hard to come by for this fandom, so have a less abridged history of why Bay's canonpoint is messed up.
You can guess from the name of the show, two girls were switched at birth when they were born. John and Kathryn, former baseball player and housewife, brought home Bay Kennish. While Regina Vasquez and Angelo Sorento brought home Daphne Vasquez. Fifteen years later an oddity in Bay's bloodwork proved she wasn't the Kennishes' biological daughter. Angelo already out of the picture because he and Regina found out about the switch when Daphne was three and lost her hearing. It's a whole thing, let's move on.

Daphne, Regina, and the Kennishes became a weird complicated blended family. Bay and Daphne had a rough road. But after a lot of events, the two grow into the space of 'sisters.' Which gets more complicated by the very odd episode Bay arrived from.

Yuletide Fortune Tellers is a Christmas episode, the blended family trying to get through Christmas together. Regina having no interest in a big to-do, Kathryn making a dozen different kinds of Christmas cookies. Bay and Daphne casually muse about how it might be easier if the switch never happened. Which- the got as a whole plot steal of It's a Wonderful Life.

Bay woke up as "Daphne Sorrento" a Deaf art student to a functional alcoholic mother on the wrong side of town. Daphne woke up as Bay Kennish, olympic soccer hopeful with a stay at home dad as her coach, and her mom too busy running a skin care company. The girls have to understand their real mothers to get this Christma Miracle undone and returned to normal. (But Bay is now here.)
