Personality-
Kayla is really a sweet girl once you get to know her. She can get rather shy when she's in a big crowd but when she's around two or three of friends or even strangers, she can take charge and be the outgoing girl everyone comes to know about her. When she is given a task to do, she doesn't slack until after the job is done and she has some time to herself. Music is what can keep her motivated to do anything which is why she usually always carries her ipod around with her.
At times, Kayla like anyone can have her phases where not even music can cheer her up. But having a friend or someone she cares about around can easily help her out of it for a long time. She usually only goes into these phases when she hasn't been around her friends in awhile. She doesn't like these phases just as much as her loved ones which is usually why she's always busy planning fun activities that everyone can do. In general, she is just a smart girl who will always be there for her loved ones no matter what the cost to her.
She is very loyal, not to mention responsible. When she has a job to do, she does it with everything she can. She’s not the type to do anything half-asked. She does her best, and if she fails? She just keeps trying at it until she is successful. When it comes to her family and friends, she would never dare betray them. Even if it was something bad, she would try and protect them. She was always very over protective about the people she cared about, but more so about her younger siblings and cousins.

History-
Kayla Benton was the oldest of her three younger siblings. She was the first daughter of Jim and Zoey Benton. They were a happily married couple.. as far as she thought. Apparently the life she thought she knew, was nothing more than an illusion. It only took a few short years for Jim to leave Kayla and her mother for another woman named Madison Walker. The couple shared a few happy years and thus giving kayla two half sisters named Anna and Victoria. Although she hated what her father had done to the family, it all worked out for the best after Jim cheated on Madison with Zoey and thus they got back together and soon after Kayla had her first full blooded brother, Oliver.
It was a very hectic family, the Benton’s. Kayla had two half sisters who she wanted to be close with, much like how she became close with Oliver. Of course at first, the two girls were reluctant to get to know the children who apparently “stole” their father away. It wasn’t until Kayla and Anna actually ended up in the same school that they ended up really liking each other and became friends.. sisters, even. They had much in common, especially when it came to their personalities. Victoria ignored Ollie and Kayla for a lot longer than Anna did. But finally Ollie got through to Victoria after talking to her about his most personal thoughts.. he told her that he was a homosexual. The funny part was, that Victoria was the first person to find out about Ollie being gay.. not Kayla. Not the sister she grew up and lived with.
The years went by and although all the siblings were different ages, Kayla was the eldest, and felt like she needed to protect them all. She was always the over protective type and that was soon going to take a part in her future. With her father being a police officer, she too wanted to follow in his foot steps of criminal justice. When she was still in school, anytime she saw somebody in trouble, she couldn't help but intervene. It was just in her nature. In fact, she became hall monitor when she was in junior high, and she actually quite enjoyed having authority over other students around her. Once high school came around, Kayla got involved with sports to keep herself in shape and she worked out in the school gym a lot, as well. She never stopped trying to train herself for becoming a police officer, she knew she was going to have to stay fit.
After high school was out of the way, she went off to college and majored in criminal justice. Her best friend, Brooke Sanders, also went to the same college as her, but for science. She wanted to be a scientist. She was lucky to have a friend with while she was off at college and farther away from her family than she is use too. She finally found herself a real boyfriend in college, his name was Greg. He was handsome, good looking, and charming. Everything she could have wanted in a guy.. he just seemed perfect.. too perfect. It turns out that Greg was only dating Kayla to get close to his father as they attempted to break into a museum. Kayla busted them after she followed and called the cops. They all got busted and Kayla got herself her first ex.
After a few years of college were through and out of the way, Kayla went back to Staten island to join the force, right next to her dad. He took her under his wing and assigned her her first partner. Trevor Perry. He was hot, very respectable, and no hidden agenda’s to speak of. She ended up getting a side job on the weekends, her and her partner guarded the Staten Island Museum. One day, during a weekday, she went straight from work and attended her sibling’s family reunion. That all wanted her to be there since she was basically a part of the family. But that was when it all went wrong. An infection of sorts broke out and people turned into zombies right before her eyes and started to attack and eat people.
Being the one with the uniform and gun, Kayla took it upon herself to became the leader and try her hardest ti protect her family. But her attempts were not good enough, for she lost her sister Anna after she was bitten and had to kill her, herself. They got the survivors out of there, it was only her, Victoria, Oliver, Mike, and Mike’s brother Derek. She still had the keys on her to the Staten island museum, so that is where they went and have been there ever since, just trying to survive the horror of their new lives.

Sample RP-
The building was doing its usual business with getting things done and holding criminals in cells until they go to trial to find out their sentence after they get their chance to tell the story and hope to hell that there wasn’t evidence against them. It was a building that Kayla loved to be in ever since she was a little kid that tagged along with her father every so often. It was her dream to be a police officer like her father, but that’s as far as she would go to be like her father. She didn’t resent him all that much anymore but she was not going to be unfaithful to the man that she loved like her father was to her mother. But regardless of all that family drama he caused, Jim was a fun guy to be around and she loved to hang out with him even after she was old enough to learn what he had done. Currently her father was out on duty at some kind of crime scene that had come up in the middle of the day so unexpectedly and Kayla was going to be taking the rest of the day off for her sister’s cousin, Mike. Granted there was a bit of distance in the family line since Kayla is only a half sister for two other sisters and they have a couple of cousins that were close in age, but nonetheless she got along with everyone in her messed up family. As a police officer, Kayla still had a bit of work to do before she could go over to the funeral for Mike’s father but she wasn’t worried about that all that much. It was really just paper work that had to be filled out that seemed to get bigger in her to do pile than in her done pile.
Kayla started to get to work at her desk that was technically her father’s but everyone always combined the two Benton’s work since they were family. It was secluded too with four walls that had pictures of inspiration and admiration from the past top crimes that the police had cracked in the state of New York over a couple of years now. She had gotten the chance to put some of the articles and pictures up by the picture frames that her father put in for her right before she had gotten to the station to see them as a little kid. There were plenty of memories in this building. Everyone that worked there knew her since she was little too. It felt like a second family to Kayla that she could could visit whenever she wanted and needed to.
As the work that Kayla sorted out as important and must be done now was finished, she looked at the clock and saw that she had just enough time to get what she needed done with. So after all of the paperwork that she had to do was done, she stood up from the desk and joined everyone in the next room. A receptionist stopped her. “I suppose that now your off for the rest of the day I should be calling you Kay?” She asked her with a smile. “Of course Ms. Blondie Curls!” Kayla said, calling the woman the nickname she had thought of when she was younger. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Same time same place.” She smiled at the receptionist before walking out of the building and going towards her usual car of a silver honda. She had it ever since she got her license which seems so long ago to the twenty-four year old. She took care of it very well just as she was taught how to by her parents and some friends as well. She then got it and started it up and checked the time again. She wasn’t going to be late that’s for sure.
Kayla reached the house that she was told to go to by Mike himself just a few days earlier. She parked her car on the street before getting out in her police uniform. If it wasn’t such a pain to go back to her apartment and change then she would of, but for now she was going to stay as she was including the gun, the sling for it and all that police stuff. Kayla could always just show off a bit to the family members that she had heard didn’t quite get along with Mike and his family. She found her brother and half sisters first so she went over to them and gave them all hugs as well as Mike who had found them all together. They all started to chat with Mike, hopefully trying to just distract him from his other family members that were giving him looks and the such but it seemed as if it wasn’t working. Her half sister Anna stayed with Mike as her other half sister Victoria went for a walk with Kayla and Ollie following her. They started to catch up in the front room of the house so they wouldn’t be closed in by all the old people that were looking at them as they all stood around and talked about each other’s lives.
There was a change in the tone and feeling in the whole house so suddenly that it made Kayla not only suspicious but also uneasy. She suggested that they walk outside to get some fresh air in the stuff house and they agreed. Once they opened the door, Kayla saw in the corner of her eye something moving close to them all. She turned her head and then screamed at all of them to get out of the house. Her siblings did so and Kayla followed them right after, shutting the door on some guy’s hand which instead of stopping the door from closing all the way, it was chopped right off. Kayla took out her gun and made sure it was loaded. She had extra bullets on her but she wasn’t sure what it was that she was dealing with until the zombies knocked down the front door and started to run as fast as they could over to Kayla and the others. She started to shoot the zombies in the head as fast as she could while backing up as far as possible. She saw that her siblings had some equipment with them that they used to beat the zombies and they were soon joined by Derek and Bennett and not long after that, Mike and Anna as well. Victoria was in the medical career and she looked at her full blooded sister Anna and tried to help as best she could while Kayla continued shooting the zombies and the others beat them until Kayla had time to shoot.
As Victoria had checked out Anna, she told everyone that she had died. Hearing the news of it only made Kayla angry that her sister had passed away and she began to shoot more than ever. It would of been considered a new record for her if it was being monitored. Tears had started streaming down her face as she shot every infected and zombie in her sight. Finally there were no more zombies after them. Kayla let her gun hand go limp as Bennett started to cheer before Anna had grabbed him by her teeth and infected Bennett. Kayla held up the gun once more and shot her sister right between her eyes to stop her. The wound that Bennett had was changing him. That much Kayla knew already. He was shaking and she knew she had to shoot him too which made her hold the gun right where she needed it. She waited until she heard the shriek of a zombie before shooting him too. Mike had said something about the museum keys and she only nodded her head about having them on her. The five of them, Kayla, Ollie, Victoria, Derek, and Mike then started running as fast as they could to the museum building.
