"Excuse me, ma'am, I'm looking for a Stacy Schmitz?"

"Stacy Schmitz? Please follow our intern here, thank you." 

"Here's her room ma'am, have a nice visit."

The very first time Kalliopie was introduced to the world.

"Kinsey Kate Schmitz?" asked the tall, muscular middle-aged man from the doorway down the hall. He looked around the room, searching for the girl named Kinsey Kate Schmitz.
"Right here, sir." A beautiful, older teenage girl stood up, her brunette hair flowing to the middle of her back, her eyes were a chocolate brown, her limbs slender but clearly strong. She wore dark blue denim jeans and a white button-up blouse with sky-blue birds dotting it. She had a small over-the-shoulder satchel that bumped against her hip so her gentle hands were free. Her hair was pulled back into a perfect ballet bun, and she wore light makeup that only enhanced her natural beauty. Her smile was bright, and when she smiled, her dimples deepened and her eyes scrunched up, just a little bit. Her voice was not too loud but not too soft, just confident enough, and it was a lovely, fun-filled voice.
"Come on in," answered the man, smiling politely.
Inside the room was the man's office. He took his place behind the desk, and the smiling woman took her place in the chair he offered her. He started off the conversation simply, all the while subtly jotting down notes to her responses.
"Good afternoon Miss Schmitz, I am Dr. Kinoro. As you know, you are being interviewed for a spot at our very elite school and, not only that, but a place on our highest dance team. I hope that you'll do well. If I may ask you a few questions to start us off, I will have you answer all of my written questions, and then I will have you perform a short routine for me. Is that alright?" The woman smiled sweetly.
"Of course, Dr. Kinoro. And please call me Kinsey or Kinsey Kate."
"Well then, Kinsey Kate, let us begin. My first question is- do you have a nickname or a name that you like to be called other than Kinsey or Kinsey Kate, your registered names?"
"Actually, yes. My friends, family, and teachers call me, um," she blushed slightly, "Kalliopie."
