Bettina Kenney

Paronomasia-passionate,
alliteration-addicted,
onomatopoeia-obsessed whirlwind,
notorious midnight oil-burner, deep-soul-diver,
twinkle toe, pocket rocket,
little fighter spirit & mischievous pixie
with a radiant smile
and enough energy to fuel a medium-sized funfair.

* Other than that – Actress. *
