"Oh, she looks like a meth head" no she doesn't – she just looks tired. Which you would, too, if you were pulling double shifts because all the other Oompa-Loompas bailed when it became clear what a shitshow the event was and you've spent the last 90 minutes getting hassled by the parents of crying children after the candy table ran out of candy.

Who is Kirsty and what’s her story ? 💙💙 Pretty please 👉🏾👈🏾 ?
I'll do ya one better and throw in some info AND a redesign
Kirstie suffers from amnesia when it comes to her childhood. It was worse when she was a child, but now the main memories the are still unclear to her are the identity of her parents, and what her elemental powers truly are.
I also imagine her having a Tulip Olson personality.
That's about all the info for now. It's really late where i am
Thanks for the ask bye :)
