Kristy Smith

Kristy Smith is a character portrayed by DasD\_Eski, joined 04/05/2021.

## Early Life

Kristy Smith was born in Sandy Shores on March 28th, 1995. Her mother, Candace Smith, was a victim to the rise of methamphetamine production, creating a woman who loved the drug so much she nearly named her daughter after it. Her father, Ron, wasn’t worse, but he wasn’t any better due to the simple fact that he was never around much; except for the occasional screaming match that would erupt at 3 a.m. over borrowed money and booze.

Growing up, Kristy spent most of her time outdoors since it seemed to be a lot more refreshing, even with the smell of feces and cigarettes, than inside her double-wide home. One day, she decided to take a stroll through the ridges of Mt. Chiliad when she stumbled upon a marijuana growing spot. She realized that the drug and crime life was always going to follow her no matter how far away from home she got. She began learning more about drug production and distribution by observing local gang movements. She noticed how strategic they were and how they never seemed to get caught by the occasional law enforcement officers that would respond to, more than likely, a domestic disturbance call. Kristy even started selling small-amounts of drugs to others her age.

Instead of rolling with the soon-to-be biker prospects, Kristy focused on herself and developing street smarts and her own unique set of skills. She became easy to get along with with her approachable personality and sense of humor. She started living by the motto to respect the respectful and never let anyone walk over you. Amongst those traits, Kristy became very observant and able to read the vibes people gave off easily, making her a good asset to noticing the snakes in the grass. She understood when business needed to get done, when to let loose by throwing back a couple of beers, and never getting the two confused.

Eventually, Kristy began feeling suffocated by the baron dustbowl of Sandy Shores. She wanted to see and meet new people besides the occasional passersby who would be desperate enough to stop for gas and a Green Cow in Sandy. Kristy knew the move would be to Diamond City where she would meet up with her cousin, Jimmy Ricardo. They both wanted something outside of what they were so accustomed to growing up, and just the idea of being in a city that never seemed to sleep was unbearable to hold back from. Not a week later, they were both surrounded by skyscrapers.

## Diamond City

Diamond City treated Kristy relatively well. She spent the majority of her days working a blue-collar job at the lumber mill and was even able to buy herself a vehicle to get from here to there. One day on the job, Kristy was working and fell from the ramp, breaking her leg and leaving her chest purple and blue. She managed to make it to Pillbox Medical Center, but the medical bills had Kristy thinking she may have been better off dead. Even though money rolled in, it didn’t seem to show in the numbers Kristy had hoped the city would promise, and definitely not quick enough. After the fall and the numerous times of being robbed, she knew something bigger and better had to happen in order to survive and teaming up with Jimmy was the answer.

They decided to create a small gang called the JK Mafia that would consist of themselves and anybody else who felt down-on-their-luck in Diamond City. Repping the color purple, they would produce drugs and sell to the locals, while remaining under the radar of the bigger gangs. However, being new and naïve, JK Mafia started being recognized by others, more specifically, the Underboss, Lil’ Draco, from Ghost Cartel.

After business had been betrayed and gone sideways, heat from other gangs with far more of a name for themselves began targeting JK Mafia until it became too much. Both Kristy and Jimmy threw in their purple flags and decided to lay as far low as possible. It wasn’t until the both of them met a one Charles Valentino that the storm clouds of Diamond City began to disperse.

## Present Day Diamond City

Although the days of producing and selling drugs hasn’t stopped, the days of struggling and discouragement has. Kristy is now Underboss in The Ricardo Family Mafia, where she is in charge of the production and distribution of illegal substances. On some occasions, jumping over the side of the pier has been the best escape route from local law enforcement, but on others, behind the bars of a jail cell is the only outcome. To this date, Kristy’s longest time served has been 125 months at Bolingbroke Penitentiary, where she was considered a High-Risk Inmate and spent a fair share of time in “the hole”.

When she isn’t doing Family business, Kristy could be found at the Vanilla Unicorn where she assists Charles Valentino with security. At one time in her life, Kristy could be found up on stage, doing her thing, but those days have come to pass. She is now more focused on creating a safe environment for the other female entertainers and those who come to see them.

On her downtime, she hosts an underground racing squad with any local civilians that throw a turbo on a Mitsubishi Evo. However, with racing comes maintenance. Kristy spends countless hours hanging out in the mechanic shop while her cars are being tuned, upgraded, and brought back from near death. During one of her days in the mech shop, someone had caught her eye: a girl named Starla Munroe. They dated for a while and then decided to mutually part ways. They are still really good friends in the city.

Taking the values she learned in her younger days, Kristy knows when to do business and when to have fun. When she is in Legion, Kristy can be found welcoming any newcomers into the city and helping out the best she can, since she knows just how hard being new could be. She loves spending time with her crew, getting her drink on, and dancing to good music. If someone tweets out there is a party, the next one will more than likely be, “Kristy Smith: What’s the postal?”.
