Ava Kendricks

General
Ava Kendricks is the owner of Denman Financial, a debt collection agency known for use of shady collection means such as harassment and threats. She is suspected of selling illegal drugs and was arrested for this three months prior to the events of Episode 6: A Vicious Cycle (Part 1), however no evidence has been found regarding her case. She frequents Night Hunt from the 25th to the 30th every month.

Ava is the widow of Theodore Denman, whom she met at age 20 when she was arrested for stealing her classmate's allowance; the two married at age 22 after Theodore forced Ava into a lethal competition with her classmate for his affection. Ava obtained control of Denman Financial after his death in a car accident in 2025. She is represented by a high-pressure lawyer from outside Stellis, who has been working with her for many years and who has made detaining Kendricks a "major drain" on Stellis police resources.

Resenting her childhood in a hometown she describes as "deserted" and "barely on the map," Ava blames her first crimes on her neighbors, as any family with a member who went to college is automatically considered "rich" and asked to donate to improvement projects regardless of individual situation. On a first impression, she is noted to have a shrewdness in her eyes and give off the appearance of someone who isn't to be messed with. She places high value on appearance, often commenting on it before any other feature of a person, and she's aggressive in her pursuit of handsome men, especially those who seem competent.
