Kell

PUBLIC INFO: Kell Patsakos is a local society lady, an heiress. Every year, tickets to her birthday party are sold for charity. The soiree is held all night at a Middle Eastern restaurant called "Shaherazaad". She endorses political candidates who support marijuana legalization and sponsors the local farmers' market.

Shaherazaad's Kell founded an unlikely group of culinary friends in Prospect. Hailing from different places in the Middle East and the U.S., they bring together cuisine from Algiers, Iraq, Israel, Turkey, Greece, and other places. They pooled their skills to create the progressive restaurant Shaherazaad's. Kell works there diligently from 4 am to 10 am.

The building of an urban garden continues.

The longshot race-horse Kell bought has won a number of races. The animal is being retired but the stud fees brought in a great deal of cash.

The lady is once more playing violin.

Two Sides Kell's personality is a tug-of-war between aspects that may be characterized as the Princess and the Gypsy. One side of her is deeply steeped in feudal hierarchy and autocracy. The other extolls freedom and equality. One side is duty-bound, diligent. One is hedonistic and free. One side is privileged and elaborate, the other, rugged and minimalistic. One lives in a fairy-tale world of peace and plenty; the other is haunted by war and violence and squalor.

Where the two sides agree is in her self-determination. She will not be another's vassal. She must rule, and she will have none at her side who do not truly wish to be there.
