Kendra nodded - she wasn't really someone who focused on the statistics of her fitness. The blonde was lucky that her husband kept her competitive about it - all for fun of course. "Perfect." She didn't have much longer to wait before she got her answer from the doctor.
She watched the younger woman grab the clipboard and leave before calling her into the room. The woman lifted her head and followed into the room - closing the door behind her. "This is my least favorite part." She joked, as she took off her shoes. "Do you weigh and measure the height of everyone that comes here?"
It didn't take her long to get out of her sweater, jeans and socks. The woman stepped on the scale, making sure she was facing the correct way. "I promise I've been eating healthy. I don't understand why people think that police officers just eat doughnuts."
It was almost as if her police instincts kicked in. Her hand was around the perp's wrist before standing up and turning around - causing the wrist to twist. Her intent was not to break it, but to cause some pain. "Give me my wallet back, then we can talk." The horse shoe in her other hand dropped on the ground with a light thud. Right now she was more focused on her safety.
She glanced at the person now. He seemed younger than what she expected. The dark eyes and longer shaggy hair made her wonder if he looked familiar to her. The blonde kept calm before her next comment. "Or are you going to tell me that grabbing my wallet was by pure accident?" She was using her bad cop voice now. The teen didn't seem to have weapons, but he needed to be respectful of her.
Kendra slightly loosened her grip on his wrist once it started to turn white. Her team would be proud of her - using her self defense skills away from work.
It was only when she cleaned Sailor when Kendra realized that the gelding had thrown a shoe. They had enjoyed their Fall trail ride, attempting to ride outside as much as they could before the change of seasons. She let out a sigh, it happened to every rider eventually.
The blonde finished dealing with Sailor, putting him back outside in the gelding's pasture before she headed on foot. She sent Chase a text, asking if he had time to put it back on as she continued on. Not knowing exactly where the liver chestnut lost his shoe made things difficult. The last thing she wanted though was to have an animal or another human step on it by accident and hurt themselves. The leaves crunched under her riding boots at the trail head and very quickly a silver object caught her eye. She headed over and picked it up off the ground. It was just a coin, which she stuck in her back pocket.
As she continued along, she heard a branch crunch behind her. The blonde turned around, wildly glancing to see where her company was coming from. "Hello? Anyone there?" The trails were usually quiet in the mornings, but Kendra was always careful wherever she went.
September meant Kendra needed to get her physical and her bloodwork done for the police station. They needed to make sure all the staff were all healthy enough to continue working there. Being a police officer meant that she needed to be in tip-top shape. There was nothing worse than having to stop and cough while catching a perpetrator on foot.
The woman dropped Chloe off at school, wishing her a good morning before she drove off towards the Doctor's office. With her hot London Fog in her hand, she headed inside once she parked and locked her car. She knew some of her coworkers dreaded having blood taken, as if they had something to hide. Kendra prided herself in being healthy - doing various workouts on a daily basis.
Kendra walked up the stairs and entered the appropriate room, not even looking at the others - making it to the reception desk. "Good Morning, Kendra Hawkes. Should just be blood work and a checkup for the Police Station." When she had made the appointment, she did mention her results were to be sent off to them. "Oh, and I assume I have to hand in my fitness testing as well?"
Kendra left Chloe with Tobias - it was odd for the two parents to be off of work on the same day but Kendra had been assigned to work security for the event - in case a fight broke out or a child had lost their parents.
She fixed her vest and opened the tent - signaling to the rest of the crowd that they were open. Kendra began her rounds, checking to see if anything was out of the ordinary. So far, everything seemed calm and everyone was behaving nicely.
Kendra is someone who keeps her friends very close to her. She is pretty outgoing, hates being wrong and she loves people, which is why she became a police officer in the first place. Her daughter, Chloe could also attract some friends for Kendra, usually the parents of the child.
enemies
Anyone who she has put in jail or people who just barely follow the law. The rules were put in place for a reason...right? She also dislikes being told what to do which I'm sure has caused her to gain some enemies in the past.
Kendra is a police officer from Vienna, Austria. She has a six year old daughter, Chloe (who is also open if anyone wants to play her) with her husband Tobias. I am looking for someone to play this wonderful man. His face claim is open as well as anything else in his profile. *He does though have to have parents that breed/bred horses because Kendra bought Cairo from his parents and he does have to somehow work for the police since they met at work* Please PM me on this account with any questions and if you are interested
Chloe is also part of this family. She isn't biological as she was left on Kendra and Tobias's doorstep. She is about six years old now and is pretty much open as for personality, the rest of her biography etc!
*UPDATE: I finally have a face claim for Tobias (aka Toby. His middle name is open to whoever plays him and his last name is Hawkes as they are married...) Please please please use Luke Grimes as the face claim (preferably with short hair...) Thank yooouu!!

occupation: Police Officer.

hometown: Vienna, Austria.
parents: Patricia and Preston Green.
siblings: None.
brief history: Kendra's upbringing was far from perfect. Both her parents were actors and every time they had a job, they just left their daughter alone. Her Uncle basically cared for her by himself, so she considers him more of her father. One day, when she was about three years old, her real parents decided to take her on the set with them. It was a Western movie, so the young girl had some room to run around and play. Her love for horses began this way. The trainer on set gave the young girl lessons while her parents were off filming the movie nearby. She fell in love with it instantly, wanting from that moment on to be the world's top barrel racer. Only her mother could ever see how much she enjoyed being on the back of a horse as her father was too interested in getting money. Kendra was thrown into the spotlight, but she hated it. All the beauty pageants she did took a lot of energy out of her, as she had to plaster a smile across her face every time she walked across the stage in whatever outfit she was supposed to wear. She finally saved up enough money during her pageants to buy her very own horse. She figured her parents were gone enough so she could keep the horse on the property they had, which was miles and miles of luscious pastures. The first horse was a Palamino Quarter Horse, named Pal. To get back at her parents for basically abandoning her, she used their credit cards to buy everything for the horse. The Greens were too focused on working to even check their balances. A friend from school had a barn with a coach, so she was trailered over with Pal to get some training in. During the week, Kendra was at school and would always spend her nights with Pal even if she had homework. Her grades in school weren't great, but she did graduate High School.
After High School, her parents finally realized there was a horse living on their property. The Green family came home unexpected one day and saw the horse running around. They confronted Kendra and a fight broke out. Her things were packed by the Maid and she was left to fend for herself. She didn't have many things, so she just took a backpack with her and saddled Pal up to leave her world behind. She rode off towards the riding stable where she was training and explained the situation to her instructor. He drove back to the Green home with his truck, but they had left again for a job. He threw the rest of Pal's things in the back and drove back. With nowhere to go, the instructor said that she could live at the house with him until she found a job. Wanting to go a completely different direction than her parents, she enrolled in the Police Academy in Vienna. She trained hard both mentally and physically by working at the barn and studying the material. When exam time came, Pal had a colic attack and had to be put down. She passed the exam with flying colours and was given her badge. Rather than it being a day of happiness, she was devastated at the news of Pal. Kendra worked hard at the police station and after work always helped train a horse or two.
She fell in love with a horse named Cairo so she bought him from the family that had bred him. Little did she know, it was the family of one of her co-workers. The two saddled up horses and went out for a ride. They clicked and it was pretty much love at first sight for both Kendra, Cairo and Tobias. Tobias was only working for the Vienna police to help them with one specific case so he had to fly back to Hickstead after the case was closed. Having a long distance relationship was difficult so after a few months Kendra packed up both Cairo as well as her own things and moved to Hickstead. They recently got married in Hickstead. One day about a year ago, Kendra opened her door and there was a baby left in a basket with no apparent parents. Kendra and Tobi both hunted for the parents but had no luck. They named their new "daughter" Chloe Kayla Hawkes and welcomed her with open arms. Tobi surprised Kendra with another horse named Set Sail or just Sailor for her wedding present. Chloe of course has her own pony named Sparkie. Sparkie[/font][/ul]
[/font]: [/b]spending time with her husband and daughter, being right and knowing that through her job she is keeping her fellow citizens safe.
dislikes: having to use force to get an arrest, people making fun of Chloe because she is adopted and being told what to do.
strengths: her patience with people, being a mother and she is mentally strong.
weaknesses: coffee (if she is in a bad mood and you want something from her, bribe her with coffee...any time of the day!!)
secrets: Her parents haven't spoken to her for about ten years now and she has no plans to talk to them ever again.
fears: her parents finding her, Chloe being taken away from her and getting old.
habits: doing yoga when stressed, listening to Spanish music and doing some sort of physical activity.
overall personality: Kendra is usually hard headed. She knows when she is right and hates being wrong more that the average joe. She keeps her friends close and her enemies far away, hence why she moved from Vienna to Hickstead. Her love for people also blends over to any animal, no matter how small. [/ul]
