Kelsey Jones

**Kelsey Jones** (originally **Kelsey Griffs**) is a major character of the Adelaine Jones Saga.

Raised in a broken family, Kelsey became envious and mean towards others when she was first admitted into Middle School, joining the Theatre Club when she was in the Eighth Grade. In the build-up to the musical, Kelsey was jealous of Adelaine's position as the Lead Director and the star of the upcoming musical, resulting in her bullying Adelaine into quitting the club. She would be kicked out later on after her boyfriend Hugh Anderson complained to Miss Mindy Zinkavich. She would later team up with notorious serial killer Rosamund Wilcox and kidnap most of the cast, before being foiled and sentenced to 26 years in prison.

However, by the time of her parole in December 2021, Kelsey had realized of her mistakes of the past, and vowed to turn her life around. In a twist of fate, the Jones' family took over guardianship of her, with Adelaine and her parents forgiving her despite of her past actions, before she was adopted by the Jones' family in January. Although initially shunned by most of Adelaine's friends, she was able to become part of Adelaine's friend group. In 2022, Kelsey's past nemesis and Adelaine's boyfriend, Hugh Anderson moved into her household after his parent's divorce and the death of his mother.

After becoming a P.I. for the Grimsborough Police Department in the late 2020s, Kelsey became a bodyguard for her family and friends, having been a part of the protection squad during the New Crimson Order's attempted assassination of her adoptive sister Adelaine Anderson when she was in labour. In 2035, Kelsey attended the wedding of Sean Dupont and William Evans, only for the homophobic criminal Matthew Baldwin to storm it. Kelsey would kill Matthew in the fight that ensued, after the latter shot Sammy Turner and attempted to murder her.

She is currently the only main and major character to remain single, and is also the only person in the cast to not have a confirmed sexual orientation. It is confirmed in the Adelaine-Elliott Crossover that Kelsey is happy to remain single, and it is unlikely that she will have a romantic partner anytime soon.

## Profile

16 years of age, Kelsey is a short girl who spots long blonde hair running to her shoulders, though not as long as Adelaine's. She has pale skin and black eyes. Kelsey is a short girl at just 5'2", making her 10 centimeters shorter than her adoptive sister Adelaine. She is relatively thin and skinny due to her poor upbringing, although has gained a bit of weight since her adoption by the Jones'.

Kelsey most often wears an orange hoodie and blue jeans, and it has been mentioned that her favorite color is orange. In Family History however, she wears a white dress.

## Personality

In her earlier appearances, Kelsey is a bossy, self-centered and rude schoolgirl who is envious of other people's successes. After seeing Adelaine and Hugh's promotion to theatre directors, Kelsey became zealous of Adelaine, and began to bully her in order to snatch the role of Elle Woods (the main character of the musical they were doing) from her. After she was kicked out of the musical due to Adelaine's boyfriend reporting her, Kelsey became even more arrogant and bossy, and became so zealous of Adelaine that she ripped apart a poster with the two on it as they started their Freshman Year. This ultimately resulted in Kelsey teaming up with the Rocket Cow (CC Equivalent of Red Bull) Killer Rosamund Wilcox as they attempted to kidnap most of the main cast on the night of the Freshman Prom, ending up with her being sentenced to 26 years in prison.

However, by the time she was given a chance to be released from prison two years later, Kelsey had realized that everything she did in the past, especially with her treatment of Adelaine was incredibly dumb and stupid. In a twist of fate, Adelaine's family took her in as her new home, and when she came out of prison, she became a rather shy but kind girl. Most people from Fairview High School shunned her at the beginning, and even when she was promoted to the highest position in the Model UN Club, some people still hates her for her troubling past. It is unclear if Kelsey had been fully forgiven by her other classmates as of now, although from God Save the Prom Queen, it is revealed that Kelsey has been fully naturalized into the Jones family as she called Alessia Jones and David Jones her mom and dad, as well as Adelaine and Diana her sisters. Kelsey has expressed her desire to remain single, and continues to do so in adulthood, as revealed in Adelaine-Elliott Crossover.

Kelsey has adopted a tougher personality as a P.I. for the GPD, though remained a kind woman and a doting aunt to Adelaine's children, Amèlie and Jamie, as seen in My Second Rose.

## Trivia

* Kelsey's redemption arc was initially thought about by the fans in Heartbreak and Karma after hearing Marienne Avery breaking up with Edward Woods. Indeed, she would return two and a half months later in A Brand New Start (which canonically happened a year after the events of Heartbreak and Karma).
* Ironically, Kelsey's former nemesis and Adelaine's boyfriend Hugh Anderson wound up living in Adelaine's household for identical reasons to her - namely, losing his father to a divorce and his mother from the fallout of said divorce, just like Kelsey.
