Dec. 30th, 2011 02:43 pmSix Word Stories: Laura asks about relationships
the quiet child
Oct. 24th, 2011 06:23 pmName: Dru Kent
Age/Birthdate: 20 September 2020
Species: Meteor enhanced human
Powers: Twin telepathy
Played By: Isabelle Fuhrman
Appearance: Both Dru and her twin brother Drake have slightly darker skin than their siblings, but this is credited to Puerto Rican heritage. Dru is 5"2' and has shoulder-length dark hair and dark brown eyes. Her hair is often wore up and away from her face. She is more of a tomboy than her other sisters, wearing long-sleeved sweaters and jeans.
Personality: If one doesn't note Dru right away, that is because the young girl really doesn't want to be noticed. She is very quiet, and often uses her telepathy abilities to blend into the background. She often feels scared of being abandoned again, even though she was too young to remember being left as a toddler. And there is some nervousness in her heart of having her meteor-enhanced powers, when all she wants in life is to be normal. To not be feared.
History: As toddlers, the twins were abandoned by their mother at a local orphanage because she was scared of their powers. The Puerto Rican heritage had them labeled as cursed by their mother and their culture, and it was difficult to find them a home until Clark and April came into their lives. April developed a connection quickly because she sensed the telepathy powers that were growing in the young minds of the twins. Dru let Drake speak for her so often as children, that April and Clark feared she had no voice at her own. But it is there is soft tones, that whisper so quietly that it is a good thing that both parents have enhanced hearing.
Writing Sample:
Things were tense at home. Both Martha and Drake were in trouble and were grounded. William had been quiet the past couple of nights, Laura was busy studying for a big final exam, and Jonathan was having troubles finding a part for one of his projects. All of the siblings were in their rooms, and Dru felt uncertain where to go. She shared a room with Martha, but couldn't stand the complaining from her younger sister anymore. And what was worse was that her telepathy was picking up on all of the unspoken thoughts from each sibling.
Softly, she tiptoed down to the kitchen, where mother and father were having a late-night talk about what to do about the problems that were recently caused by Martha and Drake. Dru didn't eavesdrop because she knew it was wrong. She waited in the living room until she heard her mother go up to check on the other children. Returning to the kitchen, Dru peeked in and saw her dad sitting there with a thoughtful look.
With a couple of steps, Dru moved across the room and climbed up into her father's lap. She gave him a soft kiss on the cheek, and whispered, "It's okay daddy. You are doing a good job. Don't worry."

the playful child
Oct. 24th, 2011 12:20 pmName: Drake Kent
Age/Birthdate: 20 September 2020
Species: Meteor enhanced human
Powers: Twin telepathy
Played By: Jake T. Austin
Appearance: Both Drake and his twin sister Dru have slightly darker skin than their siblings, but as this is credited to Puerto Rican heritage. He is the shortest brother at 5'5" and has wavy dark hair and dark brown eyes. His fashion sense depends on his mood, with loud and bright colors when he is feeling playful, darker tones when he is feeling mischievous, and always wearing the 'cool' clothing with the logo from the new and hip bands.
Personality: Drake is a prankster, pure and simple. He loves to find new ways to torment his older brother Jonathan, and often will do it to remove pressure from younger sibling Martha. The pranks usually go off a little better than most because of his developing telepathy that will alert him to if someone is around watching. In truth, he looks up to Jonathan, but wants to shine in his own way as the youngest brother of the family.
History: As toddlers, the twins were abandoned by their mother at a local orphanage because she was scared of their powers. The Puerto Rican heritage had them labeled as cursed by their mother and their culture, and it was difficult to find them a home until Clark and April came into their lives. April developed a connection quickly because she sensed the telepathy powers that were growing in the young minds of the twins. Drake was always the more vocal of the twins, often speaking the mind (literally) of his sister Dru. And when he joined the other dynamic of the family, Drake used his voice to make himself stand out in other ways.
Writing Sample:
Drake was doing his best to contain his laughter, mindful that older brother Jonathan would hear him if the laughter got too loud. But it was so hard... the prank had worked beautifully and in the end Jonathan got a face full of feathers. And since he was previously covered by sticky syrup, the feathers would be difficult to remove.
It was payback in a fashion, and distraction in a different fashion. Drake had been assigned extra chores last week because of his less than stellar grades and figured it wouldn't hurt to show Big Brother who was boss around here. Plus if the attention was on Drake, then no one would know that younger sister Martha was unaccounted for right now.
Of course Drake knew where Martha was, and was covering for his younger sister. His twin didn't know how to fun, he might as help the one sister who did. After all... life was all about having fun and making things interesting.

the studious child
Oct. 23rd, 2011 11:45 pmName: Laura Kent (Lor-El)
Age/Birthdate: 14 December 2014
Species: Kryptonian/vampire hybrid
Powers: Superspeed, superstrength, increased durability, heat vision
Played By: Elle Fanning
Appearance: Laura looks very much like her mother. She is 5'7" with long blond hair and blue eyes. Her fashion sense is very farm girl, with simple patterns and often flowery dresses. Often her dresses are accented by a simple piece of jewelry around her neck.
Personality: While Laura looks like her mother, she acts very much like her father with a plan for everything and a lot of thought and deliberation to her actions. She looks out for her younger siblings, and will take responsibility if something happens while Mom or Dad aren't home. Laura loves to read, and is often found with books that contain complex education materials.
History: Laura was the second born of Clark and April's children. Her superstrength took a little longer to develop than her brothers, manifesting at age four, followed by the superspeed at age eight. Of course when puberty hit, she had a lot of difficulties with the manifestation of her heat vision. It was quite embarrassing for her to discuss with her father and seek help... but she managed to get the assistance that was required to control her powers. Her love of reading and education has led Laura to taking college-level classes earlier in her life, and one of her goals is to become a doctor. Especially with her unique powers, she feels that being a doctor would be an asset to other superheros who need someone they can trust with their secrets.
Writing Sample:
It was a typical day for Laura, as she had brought an armful of books outside to her favorite chair on the deck. It was always nice to sit and enjoy the bright sun of the afternoon, reading through challenging reading material for her age. Of course, Laura first started to read at the age of two, and never stopped. She found a love for books -- one that she always found time for.
The other children were out and about doing their own thing. Giving her time to truly get through a full book without interruption.
Laura loved her other siblings, but it was nice not to have to watch over them right now. It seemed that some of the younger ones were always getting in trouble, and it came to either Laura or her older brother Jonathan to come to the rescue.
The books were her favorite escape. Laura gladly took pleasure in not having to worry about anything but what she read. Not being the 'daughter of Superman', not dealing with her own developing Kryptonian powers, and not having to worry about if the other children were causing trouble or not. Today was all about the books. It was a good day.
