Kelsey

Daughter of a popular evangelist Presbyterian minister John Jay Hemingsworth, turned local politician; Kelsey Hemingsworth had a huge legacy to uphold.

As with all intangible assets, Fate would be cruel overseer. Political alliances tried to be forged between old families in and around Baton Rouge as the democratic party was split between loyalties to more traditonal southern democrats and those coming around to FDR and northern liberalism. Kelsey, a cheerleader and prom queen would be married to another more moderate FDR Democratic congressman Silas Boughman to solidify a Southern political machine for the future and help her father secure his place as a bedrock of Louisiana moral and political authority.

Unfortunately, Silas portrayed himself more wholesum in his suit than to his wife and children regurally taking out out his drunken frustrations on those in his home. As gossip began to trickle down about cuts and bruises on Kelsey. Her father torn between his political ambition and his love for his daughter chose to admit her to an asylum in an effort to manage both. The tide would turn against Reverend Hemingsworth as Congressman Silas Boughman would turn up dead and his Daughter would be reported missing and leading suspect. Kelsey Does not actually remember whether she killed Silas or not. She was turned at the asylum near New Orleans and is looking for both answers for herself and to bring about more truth in others. The only medicine for delusion in herself and others is to make light of them, to laugh with those fooling themselves.

Hence her continual mingling with the begotten causes of the world.
