Salutations, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Kensington of House Elrond. It is a great honour for me to be invited to such a glorious occasion. To all Train Knights, I wish you all the best. I will be grading you all very strictly.
Profile
Divine Child Kensington Elrond is the third daughter of the royal Elrond House sisters, preceded by Farringdon and Kingston, followed by Islington and Paddington. While very polite, and not as strict as Kingston, she appears to just agree with whatever her second sister says.
Relationship
- Kingston - Kingston appears to be the closest in terms of relationship with her. Kensington constantly wanting her attention and is happy whenever Kingston gives her compliments, or very sorry when criticized. Kensington doesn't appear to have her own opinions while with Kingston, and is only agreeing to whatever she says.
Event Story
| Opening! The Athletic Meet of Five Countries |
|---|
|
Kensington's first appearance is in this event as one of the three judges in charge of scoring the Train Knights for all four events. Notably, during the lunch break before the third event. Islington and Paddington invited Kingston and Kensington to stay on the ground and browse the nearby stores for food, which Kingston declined as the original schedule is to have lunch in the campus room. Islington tried to convince Kingston but failed, Kensington declined as well and said it's best to eat where there's no dust in the air. It was thanks to the efforts of both Mary and Blackfriar however, that Kingston begrudgingly agreed to have lunch with the other sisters because the schedule was already too altered. Kensington tried again to remind her on the original plan, but was instead sternly told to proceed with the current changes. When the Mistism cultists Fréthun, Ville and Choushi invaded the event to cause a disruption, Kingston and Kensington was not told of what happened nor were they aware of the incident. The information was withheld on purpose by the Conductor, Mary and Shimoamazu I as the cultists were too incompetent to be of any threat, yet simultaneously will be very helpful 'moles' for them to deal with the cultists in the future as they can be easily tracked. Kensington gave a speech at the closing ceremony of the Athletic Meet, thanking the contestants from all five nations for giving their very best, and wishing the other countries that did not win to stand proud of their efforts. |
Trivia
Counterpart
Kensington (Olympia) is a combined rail and tube station in Kensington, on the edge of Central London. Services are provided by London Overground, who manage the station, along with Southern and London Underground. It is in Travelcard Zone 2. On the Underground it is the terminus of a short District line branch from Earl's Court, originally built as part of the Middle Circle. On the main-line railway it is on the West London Line from Clapham Junction to Willesden Junction, by which trains bypass inner London. The station's name is drawn from its location in Kensington and the adjacent Olympia exhibition centre.
The station was originally opened in 1844 by the West London Railway but closed shortly afterwards. It reopened in 1862 and began catering for Great Western services the following year. In 1872 it became part of the Middle Circle train route that bypassed central London. The station was bombed during World War II and subsequently closed. It reopened in 1946 but the limited service to Clapham Junction was recommended for withdrawal in the 1960s Beeching Report. The main-line station was revitalised later in the decade as a terminus for national Motorail, and upgraded again in 1986 to serve a wider range of InterCity destinations. The station's Underground connection after World War II was limited to a shuttle service to and from Earl's Court.
From 12 May 1986 services at the station were greatly enhanced. The London Underground shuttle service started to run to a regular daily schedule, and inter-regional services from the Midlands and northern England stopped at Kensington (Olympia). Southern Region destinations included Brighton and Dover Western Docks. As part of this the footbridge was painted in InterCity colours. These trains were operated by the InterCity division of British Rail and later, after privatisation, by Virgin CrossCountry and CrossCountry. Destinations included Birmingham New Street, Liverpool Lime Street, Manchester Piccadilly, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley. The services were withdrawn in October 2008, by which time only two daily Brighton–Manchester journeys were operated. The station was part of the London Station Group, accepting "London Terminals" tickets, until it was delisted in May 1994. The same year, a full passenger service between Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction was reinstated after a gap of 54 years.
In June 2011, Transport for London (TfL) announced that the District line shuttle between Kensington (Olympia) and Earl's Court would close on weekdays at the end of the year. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea unsuccessfully protested against the closure, and general weekday services ceased in December 2011. Some special weekday services continue to run on the District line when there is an exhibition on. In 2012 TfL announced plans to introduce ticket gates at the station to combat fare dodgers, which would remove access to the footbridge used by local residents for years. Both the councils within whose boundaries this station falls challenged this loss of an established right of way. The gates were added in September 2013, dividing the bridge into two to maintain pedestrian access on one side without accessing the station platforms. Wikipedia
