Name: Missy
Gender: Female
Personality:
Growing up, Missy wasn't the boldest Kalon on the block, but she was never one to hide from a challenge. In fact, if it's one thing she's always had, it's determination. Like in primary school, she liked to make the best arts and crafts to show off at the end of the year, or get a certificate in assembly, or taking part in the schools first bake sale.
This, incidentally, was where she discovered a love for baking.
She spent all of her allowance money on a recipe book, and started spending her weekends making sweet treats for her family to sample. Biscuits, cupcakes, sponges, you name it, she would give it a go. Chocolate chip cookies were definitely her favorite to make, and she often brought one in her lunchbox to school, as well as a few extras to hand out to classmates. She enjoyed being able to give out her homemade goods to others, because seeing them enjoy her food made her feel warm and fuzzy inside. It was like reassurance that she was doing the right thing.
Growing up, she pursued this passion throughout high school. She excelled in home economics, and took a business studied class to gain the knowledge to open her own bakery. It was a big goal, and one not easily achieved, but she was well aware of this, and very eager to try. Even after all these years and a few moments of other people's doubts, her determination never wavered, and she remained headstrong in regards to the career she wanted.
She ended going into a joint partnership with her best friend, who had a more delicate artistic approach, and did a wonderful job at cake decorating. The two now own a bakery together, and despite being in a tough business, their product sales are doing well. Her bubbly demeanor, along with her friends calmer, more level headed attitude, make them a good working pair and a hit with the customers.
Above all, Missy is just immensely proud of herself for standing firm and following her lifelong passion into a career. It makes her very proud to stand back and see what she's achieved. She's grateful for the determination she's always had, to move forward and give herself motivation to do the things she's wanted to do. Not to mention her baking seems to make her all the more sweeter.

A fun fact about them:
As well as baking, Missy has also been a really big space nerd! She had a galaxy bedspread when she was younger, as well as glow in the dark stars on her ceiling. She liked to make her own constellations and name them, and read up on space facts in the school library. This keen interest has carried on, and she even let's it inspire some of her baking! She makes galaxy colored cupcakes in shades of blue and purple, dusted with silver and stars, which customers seem to really enjoy.
