Mackenzie Houston

Mackenzie Houston is one of the key characters of the Rosedale universe and is currently a student at Rosedale University.

Physical Description
Kenzie is a young adult cisgender female with a short, androgynous build with a flat chest and tan skin. She is half white, half Indian and possesses South Asian facial features with olive green eyes. She has two nose piercings, a golden nose ring on her left side and a golden stud on the other side, and her naturally wavy hair is cut into a chin-length bob and dyed in a shade of carmine. Underneath her hair she also sports a pair of black earlobe plugs. Clothing-wise, Kenzie is inspired by skater girl fashion, as her casualwear usually consists of oversized graphic t-shirts, denim shorts and a pair of black high top sneakers. Overall, Kenzie prefers baggy clothing and has more masculine tones to her fashion than her peers.

Early Life
Growing up, Kenzie's best friend was her older brother Ajay. Together, they spent their childhood playing video games and watching movies but ever since Ajay dropped out of school and the family was joined by a set of twin brothers, the dynamics have switched lots. Ajay started being home less in order to avoid their parents' constant judgement, thus leading to him and Kenzie becoming more distant from one another. The pressure for her to succeed became higher accordingly.

Kenzie's mom avoided to teach her kids about their Indian heritage, so Kenzie took it upon herself to fill in the gaps and learn about her cultural background on her own terms. [...]

Present
With hopes of finding her crowd and blossoming in a more open-minded and creative environment, Kenzie took it upon herself to save up some money and enroll in Rosedale University. She is in her first term, but her major is undecided as of now.

Personality
Kenzie is considered a sharp-witted but loudmouthed individual, who, while making valid points of critique when necessary, fails to be taken seriously by her peers and the people around her. She sees rules as opportunities and challenges authority. She speaks her mind and is hot-headed, sometimes getting her close ones in more trouble than needed.

Interests
As Kenzie obtains a lot of emotional comfort by reminiscing about her childhood and growing up with her brother, a lot of her interests center around early 2000s culture, such as skating, Rock music, vintage anime and manga, western cartoons and classic video games. She enjoys cinema and loves collecting memorabilia.
