Profile

Where does she go from here?

Just when her life seemed to be going so well, the worst imaginable thing happened, and she was stripped of the thing that made her who she is…. her ability. She feels hollow like her soul has been ripped from her body.

She really just wants to wake up from this nightmare. ;_;

You can check out any past history here: Kaylee
The War and Recovery
After the downfall of the Ferrymen, Kaylee was ready to find some peace in her life, especially, with the recent discovery that she was pregnant.

Her brother Richard told she about a bunker that Edward Ray wanted his kids to go. However, it wasn’t really Kaylee’s decision to make alone… She had someone in her life. Of course, with Kaylee’s history of not listening to her father, this would not be a surprise. With the invitation from Gillian and Brian to join them and the Lighthouse Kids; Kaylee and Joseph decided to move to Canada (With a side trips to see Kaylee’s family and so Joseph could mount a mission to get Hannah), allowing Deckard and whomever else to follow them. During this transition Kaylee and Joseph get married.

In June of 2012, Kaylee welcomed a baby boy into the world, with Joseph right there by her side the whole time. Something that she had been hoping for, making it one of the most emotional moments in her life. Nothing, made her happier that day then seeing Joseph holding his son for the first time. Shortly, after that day, the couple made Emily an official part of their family, even though she had been treated like one of their own since joining up with the Lighthouse. Since no one knew anything but her first name, they named her Emily Dawn Sumter.

For that period in time they were happy, though they worried about all those that they left in the states. For Kaylee, the biggest worry she had was for her family. It was a tough decision to stay away as the war broke out, but even Kaylee had no desire to step back into danger. The scars (mental and physical) were still too fresh. Not to mention the physical scars reminded her that she almost lost her life and that of her son.

However, the war found them in an odd way. Much to the couples dismay, Brian makes the decision to start training the LightHouse Kids in combat and preparing them to fight in the war or any battle after. They didn't want that for their kids and they could not watch the other children turned into mini killing machines. They had already met a Hannah who had to grow up like that. They didn't want that for her or any other kids.

So they reluctantly left the safety of the group and started for one of the other Ferry’s safe houses. Unfortunately, they were picked up during the move by Canadian law enforcement and deported back to the US. While she couldn't prevent them from being deported Kaylee was able to use her ability to keep them from falling into the current government's hands.

Back in the States their beloved country was still in the middle of war. The only other safe place they knew of was the bunker her brother talked about. So dodging the fighting as best they could, the Sumter family made their way to the Bunker. It was a little crowded, but safe.

Back in the US and reunited with her siblings, Kaylee learns about the plan her father had for them… or at least predicted. He predicted they would venture into starting a business that would work to help repair the damage he did to the world. After talking to Joseph, Kaylee agreed. This decision prompted her to return to college to finish up her degree, once the war was over and the country started to heal. This time, she would only work on it part time; since she still had her own family who needed her. Instead of going back to her pursuit of a law degree, Kaylee shifted her focus on business management.

When the trails started, Kaylee (and Joseph) agree to testify against the regime, winning them pardons and unfortunately… a celebrity status.

Because of the high profile position she has found herself, Kaylee allowed herself to be registered as a full blown telepath; though some of the more intricate parts of her ability have been hidden away. As far as the government knows, Kaylee can communicate mentally and read minds with great precision, but her mental manipulations are unknown.

When she is not helping run a company, she is with her family and working alongside Joseph on his projects within the community. At this point, it feels like most of the worst parts are behind them, at least for now.

Just as before, Kaylee is curious by nature, she loves a good mystery…. A good challenge. In this way, she might be a lot like her father. Problem solving is just a part of her DNA. This curiosity has been known to get her into trouble from time to time, too.

Kaylee has settled down a lot, even after the events of the timeskip. She has matured so much, since those years before she met Joseph. He has been good for her. He drew her away from the path that Adam placed her on, brought her to the church. It has changed her so much and it shows. She is a mother and a wife now, softer and kinder, and thoroughly enjoying the children (all three) and Joseph. While there has been a lot of trauma in her life, Kaylee still manages to have a smile. Though it is the brightest for her friends and family.

She still has a need to help others, enjoying the feeling of giving back to others. She tries to be truthful and moral in her private life… however….

Having partially accepted that part of herself — her temptation — that enjoys a little intrigue and manipulation, it comes back into play when her and her siblings start up RayTech Industries. When you work for a business like this, you have to sometime rely on skills you would rather not.

This also means, that she is still willing to do what she needs to, so that her friends and family stay protected. This means dipping her toes into darker waters. Those waters will be treacherous for her to travel, since in some ways, Kaylee borders on having a dual personality. This is especially apparent in the dream world, as her dark-side manifests as the snake of Eden (the biblical manifestation of the temptation).

She also has a heavy amount of guilt over what has happened to the country. With her father’s revelation that everything happening was because of his meddling, Kaylee feels at fault for all of it. A father’s love will move worlds and kill futures just to keep his kids alive. She gets it, but doesn’t like it. She feels like she owes her country for what he did. She has a lot to atone for. Not even Joseph can get her to feel otherwise.

The attack by Griffin and the actions by Eve at the Arc have shaken her confidence a lot in the years that followed. PTSD and some depression plagues her even now. She was often startled easily; the sounds of gunfire can scare her if she isn’t prepared. Over the years, her reactions are not as bad. Which thankfully allow her to work with groups like Wolfhound, but there are those moments when it all comes back. She would even shy away from a touch from someone she doesn’t know, or if someone touched her from behind.

This fear of being sneaked up on, means she has her ability seeking out people come up behind her. It becomes second nature. However, if she is distracted, coming up behind her will trigger her PTSD.

Then there are the scars. They have really made her self-conscious. There are just so many, Joseph often finding her looking at them in the mirror. They are a harsh reminder of what has happened to her; she cannot completely escape the reminders. Even though she is hailed a war hero and a celebrity, she does not feel like one. She’d rather not be one.

"What is a person but a collection of choices? Where do those choices come from? Do I have a choice? Were any of these choices ever truly mine to begin with?"

Police Training

Her Little Spark
These are the ones that are her motivation for getting up in the morning, for working for a better world, and make her smile.
	Carl Eli Sumter - PB: Jacob Tremblay - SLC - Expressive - Her little miracle. While Kaylee was dying, she discovered she was pregnant with Joseph's child. Something, neither had been expecting, but at least for Kaylee, it turned to joy. Before he was even born, Kaylee had to fight for him and in turn he saved her, giving her a reason to fight for her life. It created a sort of bond between them. She worries about the nightmares he has, wondering if they are an effect for his violent beginnings or maybe her own have bled over. Since the day he arrived screaming into the world, she has been completely head over heels. He seems to encompass a mix of his parents, a gentle nature; but also prone to acts of mischief. Even so he is very curious, observant, showing some very Ray family tendencies. His favorite people are his Uncle Warren and Mr. Bellamy. Kaylee hopes he becomes more like his father as he gets older, but… time will tell. Carl is named for Joseph's mom, Caroline, and the son they might never know Eli.
Her Reluctant Feline Companion
	Willy - She went looking for her family, but instead found her Granny's old cat. Somehow he survived the destruction of her home and was living wild and free. Now he spends his day in warmth and comfort. He's a constant reminder of home.
Her Best Friend and Lost(?) Fate
	Luther Bellamy - There are people that come into your life that have a vast impact on its course, that would be Luther to a tee. Since meeting him, her life turned upside down. Not in a bad way though. For one, there is an obvious connection, she felt it even before the visions, in a diner up in the mountains. The alternate lives only confirmed it. It's hard to look at others after that, those visions haunt her. There is no ignoring the deep love she feels for him, but while he loves her in his own way, it's not like that. A small part of her feels that the world is punishing her for what she did to Joseph…. she believes she deserves these unrequited feelings. She believes that there is a little red thread tied to their ankles. Is there? Who knows. If it is… it may be so entangled with the manipulations others and decisions of this world, that hearts have been left too scared and weary, struggling to finally connect. Still he has managed to be a solid fixture in her life. One of her closest and dearest friends. Someone she knows she couldn’t live without. When he is gone, she feels that absence. Kaylee isn’t sure he has fully opened up to her, but he’s starting to. Surprising her with how much she didn’t know about his life. It will take time and maybe he is just trying to protect her… but… she will be patient and continue to be there for him. He’ll always find her hand out there waiting for him to just reach out and take it… and a gun in her other hand ready to protect him from what the world throws at them. - Call You Mine by Daughtry - Chances by Backstreet Boys - Tangled Up In You by Staind - Don't Give Up On Me by Andy Grammer

Her Girls
	Emily Dawn Sumter - PB: Karley Scott Collins - SLC- Expressive - While recovering from her injuries sustained from her adventures in time, Kaylee stumbled upon a toddler who could not speak. The toddler has no real way to vocalize, even her laughter. Her left ear had diminished hearing, but not to a degree that hindered her. The tiny little blonde girl was orphaned in the attacks on the Ferrymen in 2010. Because of Kaylee’s ability she was the girl’s guardian while they were on the island. Kaylee was smitten with her. After the fall of the Ferrymen’s last stronghold, Kaylee and Emily were reunited. The little girl ecstatic to see Kaylee already viewed as her mother. So it was no surprised that the telepath convinced Joseph to bring the tiny tot into their family. Neither of Emily’s adopted parents have ever regretted that decision. It is well known that one of Emily’s favorite people is her Uncle Richard, because he is like her. Adopted.
	Hannah Sumter - SLC - Expressive - Kaylee has met the woman that Hannah was once destined to be, a girl that she helped raise. However, much like her husband, she doesn't want little Hannah to grow up like that again. Meeting Hannah as a toddler, Kaylee welcomed her into her heart with open arms, determined to give the girl (and the rest of their children) the best life she could. She simply sees the little girl as her daughter and loves her as such. It gives her the best feeling when Hannah calls her "Mom."
Her Siblings
	Richard Ray - Of her siblings, Kaylee finds herself closer to him. Maybe it is because she knew him and trusted him, even before they were found to be siblings. Or maybe it is the fact that he understands her and where she came from. That they both have their monsters and don't judge each other for them. Let us not forget, that they are the only Ray siblings to have children, meaning they probably spend a lot of time around each other so that the kids can grow up together. She loves him, even if they do not share the same blood, and trusts him just as much. He has known the darkest parts of her ability… the evil that lingered within her. Something few know. The fact that he accepted her even then, it endears him even more. It is comforting to know that she can count on him when she needs it and she will return the same. He has really become a part of her support system. Though people should fear if the pair team up for some real shenanigans.
	Valerie Ray - No matter her father's faith in Kaylee, the woman will never forgive him for putting Valerie in danger on the day of the bomb and now… when he sent her to help Peter of all people. Kaylee loves her little sister. Her positive attitude is infectious and her strength and determination in the face of her handicap. Not once has Kaylee ever regretted time hopping to rescue Valerie.
	Warren Ray - So… Warren. Her crazy and strange brother. He used to make her uncomfortable, especially when the kids were around him. They find him amazing and fascinating. She really is trying to be a good sister to him, but… it is hard sometimes.
	Lisa Ray - According to others, Lisa is Kaylee's sister from another world. The most curious thing about her? She has Edwards ability, while he has no ability in Lisa's world. Kaylee has yet to meet her; but she knows that if Lisa is like her dad… Kaylee will have to wait for her to come to her.
Her Sister-In-Law
	Elisabeth Harrison - This was the woman that Richard risked the world for. Kaylee knew her a little before she disappeared all those years ago. Another version of herself loved this woman and saw her as a sister. In this world the pair are quickly finding out that bonds endure. Not to mention that Carl and Aurora seem to get along pretty well.
The Parents
	Doctor Edward Ray - Deceased - A repressed memory first introduced Kaylee to who her father really was and opened her eyes to the cluster of lies had been woven about her life. Especially about her father, by her own mother. With research she learned that her parents were happily married once and that her father's ability drove them apart and him into the arms of a nurse. She even has a birth certificate that does name her Kaylee Ray and that she is his daughter. Something that was changed by her mother later. She isn’t sure what to think about him anymore. There has been so many revelations lately, she wonders just how much of her life was due to his manipulations. She has a love/hate relationship with him even if he isn’t in her life. She wishes she had more time to understand him and why he did what he did.
	Karen Thatcher - Alive or Dead??? - The relationship between mother and daughter is a strained one. It has always been. The telepath spent more of her life being raised by her Granny, than her mother. Kaylee has not seen her since before the Civil War and has no idea if her mom is even alive anymore. To be fair, Kaylee has not really tried, she is still so angry at her. The telepath can't forgive her mother for lying to her so badly and continuing to refuse to tell her the truth even after her father died. “Sorry I’m such a monster, mom.”
	Vivian Thatcher - Granny - Dead or Alive??? – This woman has always meant a lot to the telepath, having been a fixture in the telepath's life. In fact, she was more a mother to Kaylee than Karen. She knew how to keep a secret, even if she didn't like it. She was a very religious woman. She had been saddened by the fact that her daughter and granddaughter hadn't been on good terms. She was the kind of old lady everyone loves and is the one that Kaylee probably gets her love of helping others from. She was never afraid to tell people what is what, but had a golden heart.
The Heart She Broke
	Joseph Sumter - She will always love him. He was the first to show her that love was possible, but it wasn’t enough to keep her there. Kaylee knows she is a better person for having him in her life. He will always be a part of her family. The only thing she is struggling with right now is the fact he has full custody of her kids.

The Unexpected Friendships
	Eve Mas - They have come a long ways.
	Jim Clark - A seer and she's his herald, but more then that he is just a good guy.
An Unusual Friendship
	Odessa Price - She owes her for saving her. Probably her longest friend too.
The Adorable Couple
	Lynette Ruiz - She know she can count on Lynette and her husband in a crisis.
	Mateo Ruiz - Such a good hearted man. Lynette is a lucky woman.

True Facts

Known To Most

A very well know member of the Ferrymen. She more of a support role within the Ferrymen, though Kaylee saw some combat. She was the groups pet telepath. Often used to read the minds of others. In the days leading up to the Fall of the Island she almost lost her life in an attack, when an operative for the other side tried to kill her to prevent their discovery.
- Willingly testified at the trials.
Board member and former COO of Raytech Industries. She was the ones that did the hiring, mostly.
Kaylee loves Charities. It is not unusual to see her working for a cause. There are probably a lot of causes in the Safe Zone that have received some support by Raytech, like the Eric Doyle Library.
She has three kids. One is her’s by blood, One is adopted, and the other is her step-daughter. Even after her and her husband separated, she still views them ALL as her kids.

Known To Some

During the Time War, Kaylee was trapped in the late 1880’s for a span of fives years until Joseph traveled back with a team to rescue her. So she is older than her birth certificate.
Kaylee convinced Hiro to take her back to the moment of the Midtown explosion to save her little sister Valerie.
She can block memories, but only temporarily. The only time they truly last is if she is being augmented by someone like Gillian.

Known To Few

She can use her telepathy as persuasion but manipulating and changing memories at will to make a new narrative. In a sense changing what people believe. She is a far stronger telepath then anyone knows.
Kaylee worked for Adam Monroe for a time. She ran away from him and hid with the Ferrymen. This is because she was under the effects of what she thought was an incurable problem. A Company Founder, Susan Amman, put a curse (of sorts) on Kaylee that made her body shut down when she trusts or is near Adam. She is now free of that.
Kaylee feels some guilt about not joining her friends in the war.
Kaylee has no real memories of her past beyond the age 11. She has recovered a memory or two, but her childhood is a huge blank void. Her mother still won’t tell her the truth about her father. In fact, this has estranged her from her family, who she doesn’t even know if they survived the war.

Known To Even Less

With her ability she has made people kill others and themselves. It is a rare occurrence, one that she reserves for the rarest of occasions.
Kaylee was made one of Adam Monroe’s heirs before she was forced to run away.

Known To Only Family

Her father Edward Ray destroyed the world so that all his children could live. He was the reason that everything happened. The Institute. All of it. The amount of guilt she carries about this is pretty significant.

Known Only To Her

When Eric Doyle died, Kaylee buried most of his puppets on the island, because there was no body to bury. She kept one and it is now on display in the Library built by Gillian.
