FCHS - Know Your FCHS Lions (Part 1)

Posted by Vito Delsante on Saturday, September 22 2007 at 9:00 am

Leading up to the debut of FCHS, I thought it’d be cool to meet the cast. Since FCHS takes place during Senior Year, there’s a lot you don’t know about the characters that has happened since Freshman year. First up is Kennedy Sanders:

Rachel Freire - Kennedy is one cool chick, and she knows it, though she may take it for granted that every guy is gonna dig her. Given her looks, she might assume that a fella is more interested in playing backseat-bingo than goin’ steady. I’ve usually drawn her with a knowing smile or seductive gaze.

Vito Delsante - In creating Kennedy, I wanted Rachel to draw the typical high school bombshell. She’s based on two girls I knew in particular, and in describing one of them recently to an old friend, I realized who Kennedy was; Kennedy is a woman surrounded by girls, if only in appearance. She’s sexy, voluptuous…she’s the “va-va-voom.” If this were a teen exploitation film, she’d be played by Jayne Mansfield with red hair.
