Fanon:Kaydence Westley-Plumb

Kaydence Michele Westley-Plumb, nicknamed Kady, was born in Starlight Shores as the daughter of acclaimed actor Sebastian Plumb and pop star Madison Avenue. She is the niece of Savannah Plumb and on her father's side, the granddaughter of Nathan Jolina-Plumb. She was given the middle name of Michele to honor her maternal grandmother, Michele Guyton.

Her musical parents - one a trained classical pianist from a musical family and the other a vocal legend - wanted a musical name for their daughter. After going down the list, they went with a variation of Cadence.

She is of African-Simerican, English, French, Irish, German, and Native Simerican descent.

Early life
Kaydence grew up in a life of exceptional privilege in Starlight Shores, where her father treated her like a princess. She enjoyed the times when her actor dad put on costumes for her and performed roles in her children's stories. However, it was clear early on that she was an exceptionally precocious and observant child. She was an 'old soul' who spent a great deal of her Starlight Shores childhood in the huge library in her parents' mansion, reading books bigger than she was. Her parents bought her expensive custom-made dollhouses which were mostly used as decoration because she preferred to read. Her love of books frustrated her mother Madison, especially when she insisted on bringing books with her everywhere. At the age of eight, Kaydence asked her mother for a chemistry set and a chess table. Her mother refused.

At her young age she witnessed the breakup of her parents' relationship - their fights and battles - and she also was witness to her father's infidelity, as he carried on his affair with her nanny in front of her. Kaydence recounted all of these events to her aunt, who was astonished by the clarity of her retelling.

At the age of seven, she testified against both of her parents in a hearing in front of a Hidden Springs magistrate, who reluctantly awarded custody of her to her father.

Teen years
As of this writing, Kaydence has just recently turned teen, and is a student at Community School for the Gifted in Sunset Valley, her father's birthplace and the town to which he's temporarily returned. She registered for her classes at CSG under the name "Kaydence Westley," the latter being Madison's real last name, a name that few people know or recognize. The Starlight Shores-born Kaydence stuck out like a sore thumb at CSG, not only for her clothes but also her exotic appearance.

Also, because of her father's fame and accomplishments as an actor, she has a part-time job as a commercial actor at Plumbob Pictures. Her class schedule reveals she is taking mostly honors and advanced placement courses. She is captain of CSG's debate team and is also taking drama and music classes after school. Suffice it to say, Kaydence is working her way through the drama in her life. It has become abundantly clear that Kaydence is more mature than either of her parents.

Her father, Sebastian, married singer Cherise Hall in Sunlit Tides, and Kaydence found out like everyone else did - via a blurb in the newspaper. Kaydence has been trying to get to know her new stepmother, but the situation is a challenge for all involved. Fortunately, she has turned to the family butler, Tasha Sorenson, for additional guidance, with the absence of her mother in her life.

Kaydence also enjoys being around her aunt Savannah and her cousins; however, she and her cousin Skylar, who are the same age, dislike each other. The reasons for this aren't quite clear yet. Kaydence enjoys decent to good relations with her other cousins and has developed a surprising friendship with her cousin Sierra Cheesman.

Unlike most sim kids and teens, she enjoys school and homework and seems to prefer reading above anything else even though she does not currently have the Bookworm trait. Generally, she appears to be more comfortable around and prefers to socialize with adults than other teens her age, and at school is reported to eat lunch in the teacher's lounge or school library.

She has a complicated relationship with her parents. She is often frustrated and bewildered by her mother Madison's recklessness and irresponsibility. Most of the time, she also acts more like the parent to her father, Sebastian, taking care of the bills and managing his bank accounts. Her frustration with her parents recently boiled over. Kaydence crushed her parents in a stunning rage, "I've been babysitting you and Mom my whole life!" She railed on Sebastian to "start acting more like a dad and less like an overgrown frat boy!" Madison wasn't spared either, "Mom was...coming home drunk every night with a different man from her parties."

She made a friend her age too, Terry Ho, from her creative writing class.

Kadyland
Kaydence, who had been writing since she was a child, got it in her head to turn the future world into the utopia she imagined from one of her childhood stories. She'd traveled to the future once before, when she spent time with her cousin Sierra. But the bright - and imaginative - Kaydence wanted to take it a step further. She decided to create a utopia, where everyone was blissfully happy. Along with this utopia she created a character with the superpower of making everyone blissfully happy. She went through the steps to create the utopia, and then, had to convince the pilots at the military base - among whom was her cousin, AJ - to spray the dew all over town.

The result of her work was "Kadyland," a pastel paradise full of enormous flowers with a mystical dew, crystal blue water, and above all, blissfully happy Sims. After creating her utopia, the teen began writing the first of several planned science-fiction books featuring this mystical fictitious land.
