Kelly is a character on Stoked. She is voiced by Lauren Lipson.

Basic Information

Kelly is an employee at the Surfer's Paradise resort hotel, working as the manager and head waitress at the hotel's themed restaurant, the Pirate Ship. She is part of the senior staff group (alongside Ripper, Lance and Johnny) at Surfer's Paradise, having already worked there the previous summer by the time of the arrival of Reef and the rest of the group of groms in the series pilot. She is also one of the show's main antagonists (along with hotel day manager Andrew "Bummer" Baumer); she established herself in that position by leading the seniors in their hazing initiation of the groms, and she was the only senior not to be impressed when the groms successfully passed initiation, thanks to Lo.

Kelly, who is either 17 or 18 years old, is a pretty girl with a light tan, dark red hair styled into a long bob cut, and a small beauty mark located on her left cheek, just below her left eye. To distinguish herself from the Pirate Ship waitresses working under her supervision (who have to wear "serving wench" uniforms on the job), her work outfit as the restaurant manager is an 18th-century pirate costume (with a knee-length skirt replacing the trousers), complete with an eyepatch and a three-cornered hat sporting the Surfer's Paradise "Wipeout Whale" logo. When off-duty, her usual outfit consists of a red sleeveless top with black spaghetti shoulder straps, knee-length khaki cargo shorts, a necklace with three blue crystal stones and a choker necklace. When dealing with fellow hotel employees, she usually has an unpleasant personality and behaves in a mean-spirited, snobby and sarcastic fashion, though she has also had rare moments where she showed compassion regarding members of her serving staff. She is friends with the other seniors, but she is not popular with Lo or Emma because of her bossy, selfish, and snobby demeanor. Unlike most of the other staff at Surfer's Paradise, she does not surf, but she is known to jet ski.

Kelly has targeted Lo and shown a particular dislike toward her, simply for being the hotel owner's daughter. Since Lo was placed on the Pirate Ship wait staff by her father as punishment for throwing an end-of-school party at the hotel which got out of control (and even after Lo was later transferred to join Fin in the hotel's housekeeping services), Kelly has relished finding ways to embarrass and humiliate the rich girl at every opportunity. When Lo objected to Kelly's treatment of her while she worked at the restaurant, the Pirate Ship manager kept Lo in line by threatening to call her father, with the added threat of having certain perks or opportunities taken away from her (as she could not actually fire Lo due to her being the boss's daughter), if she did not do as Kelly told her to; this lasted until Lo was transferred out of the Pirate Ship. When she discovers that Emma has a crush on Lo's brother Ty, Kelly attempts to humiliate Emma during grom initiation by ordering her to publicly propose to Ty.

Later on, to Lo's anger and Emma's chagrin, Kelly uses her knowledge of Emma's crush on Ty to beat her to the punch by asking him out on a date before Emma can do so. Kelly later reveals herself as a social-climbing gold digger when she admits to Lo and Emma that she only intends to use Ty because she knows that his and Lo's father is rich (even suggesting that she has her eye on the family's fortune), and that because she now knows that Lo is against the idea of her and Ty dating, she intends to make Ty fall for her to get in good with the rest of the Ridgemount family, to purposely get under Lo and Emma's skins. Lo and Emma have tried to expose Kelly's true intentions to the rest of the Ridgemounts, but some bungling by Lo resulted in Kelly managing to get away with her villainous schemes.

Beginning in the second season, Kelly also begins developing jealousy toward Emma, whom she notices is still trying to win over Ty and get him away from her, which leads Kelly to resort to dirty tricks and interference to hang on to Ty and keep him and Emma apart. In due time, however, Lo and Emma eventually expose Kelly's true colors to Ty when, after Kelly breaks up with Ty thanks to a scheme by Lo and Emma and the latter becomes a "rebound girl" to Ty under the guise of a French visitor named "Jemma", Kelly insults Emma when she finds out about Lo's scheme and tries to get back together with Ty. Having finally seen Kelly for what she really is, Ty tells her off in defence of Emma, but an offended Kelly, who realizes that Ty is now dumping her after her attempt to get back together with him, tries to save face by claiming that nobody dumps her (even though Ty had already done so), but that she is "dumping" him instead, before storming off.

Quotes

• Johnny (after Kelly screams from the second floor of the staff house): Toilets overflowed again?
  Kelly (meekly, nodding as she trembles): Uh-huh! Can you call maintenance?
  Johnny: I can call 'em... They won't come, but I can call 'em.

• Kelly (to the groms, during the initiation rundown): Until six o' clock tonight, you are ours. If you run, we'll find you. If you resist, you'll just make it worse. You'll do anything a senior tells you to do today. If one of us tells you to bark, you say...
  Broseph: Woof?
  Kelly: If one of us tells you to jump, you say...
  Wipeout: Oh, oh, oh! Um... Woof?!

• Kelly (to Lo, in the Pirate Ship restaurant): Too bad about your dad not letting you quit. I should feel sorry for you, but I don't because you're spoiled and rich!
  Lo: Daddy was just tryin' to make a point. (Points to her left eye) When he's really mad his eye twitches. Hey, if you're not too busy minding other people's business, can I get an egg white omelet? Thanks.

• Kelly (to Emma, asking about Lo): Have you seen Princess anywhere?
  Lo (moaning as she comes into the restaurant): I don't feel so good! (Lo coughs)
  Kelly: Eww, what's wrong with you?
  Lo: It's either the chicken pox or the measles or something worse and way more contagious.
  Kelly: Are you nuts?! You'll infect the customers! Out, out!
  The Cockatoo: *Rawk*, I know how to get out of work, fake the chicken pox, *rawk*!
  Kelly (angrily): Why that little weasel!
  The Cockatoo: *Rawk*, Kelly wears too much makeup! (Kelly grabs his neck) *Raawk*!

• Bummer (seeing his date on the Sunset Beach pier and thinking to himself) There she is! Okay Baumer, you can do this, it's showtime! (Bummer approaches his date and realizes who she is) Kelly! You're my date?!
  Kelly: Andrew Baumer? Eww! I mean, "eww" as in my date, not "eww" as in my boss.
  Bummer (realizing what happened): THE GROMS!
  Kelly (at the same time as Bummer): THE GROMS?!

• The Kahuna (to Kelly and Bummer, at a movie theatre box office): No can do, Whalebus is parked for the next three hours, bro. Double feature night, Sand in My Shorts and Sand in My Bikini. You could check them out.
  Bummer (unimpressed): I'd rather eat my own eyeballs.
  The Kahuna: Your loss, dude, they're classics.
  Kelly (to Bummer): Now what?
  Bummer: Might as well grab a bite.
  Kelly: Okay, but this is sooo not a date. Reef said my date was hot!

• Bummer (to Kelly, during dinner at a restaurant on their blind date): How's your meal?
  Kelly: Really gross! (picks up a piece of something unappetizing with her fork) Did you know calamari was squid? (Kelly spots a waiter passing by her table)
  Kelly (to the waiter): Hello, handsome! I'm Kelly! Call me! (turning back to Bummer) Okay, he is sooo cute!
  Bummer (unimpressed): Check please!
  Bummer (as he pays his share of dinner after the check arrives) Here's my half!
  Kelly: Doesn't the guy usually pay?
  Bummer: Uh, this wasn't a date, remember?
  Kelly (sweetly, while trying to get out of paying): Oops, I forgot my money! (Bummer resists the urge to lose his temper as he pays Kelly's share as well)

• Kelly (after she spots Emma doing beach cleanup): I see what you're doing, Emma.
  Emma (innocently): Picking up garbage?
  Kelly: If you think you're going to steal my boyfriend, you've got another thing coming. Ty's mine, so back off, or you'll be sorry!

• Emma (over loudspeaker, as part of her and Lo's scheme): Ty Ridgemount to the pharmacy. Ty Ridgemount, your anti-fungal rash ointment is ready for pickup.
  Kelly (grossed out): Eww! You have a fungus? I hate fungi!
  Ty: No, I don't! I-I swear!
  Kelly: I don't know. (thinks about Ty's money) But, okay. (Ty and Kelly proceed to kiss)
  Emma (over loudspeaker again): Ty Ridgemount, your infectious mouth wart remedy is also ready for pickup. (Kelly gasps as some nearby girls run off)
  Kelly: That's it, out of my way, warthog! We are so over!
  Ty (in disbelief): You're breaking up with me over this?! Seriously?!
  Kelly: Okay, I like you because you're rich and cute, but no amount of money is worth getting mouth warts! Gross! (Kelly spits in disgust before she walks off)
