Her presence online garnered attention for her outspoken views, unique fashion sense, and the polarizing reactions she elicited from her audience. Despite being retired from her e-girl activities, Kennedi remains a topic of discussion due to her distinct personality and looks.

== Personality and Traits ==
Kennedi was often described as having a deep interest in philosophy, critical theory and leftist politics. A self-described communist, she once stated, “Sharing space with others to your music, giving ourselves entirely into something beyond ourselves, a crowd as one entity made only possible through the shared passion of individuals coming together. Is the dancefloor not innately communist?” This quote highlights her belief in communal experiences and her philosophical approach to everyday activities.

Her interests included "synthpop, lace, and painting, as well as a passion for the abolition of the value-form"—a term associated with Marxist theory. She often combined these intellectual pursuits with her personal style, which was described by Anonymous as "a cross between deathbed grandma, Brontean saucy witch, and anime sidekick."

== Online Persona and Public Perception ==

Kennedi's online persona was met with both admiration and criticism. Some users praised her intelligence and artistic talents, while others were more critical of her perceived arrogance and controversial views. One anonymous user characterized her as a zoomer with traits such as being "sickly, brittle, anorexic, neurotic, autistic, paranoid, and terminally online." They also labeled her a "deranged communist" and a "guilt-ridden Catholic" who flunked out of school and refused to take her medication.

However, others offer a more balanced perspective, noting that Kennedi had actually finished high school early, was creative and enjoyed cooking. There have been suggestions that she struggled with OCD and had been on medication for related panic attacks, though she later claimed that the medication was ineffective. 

== Legacy ==
Kennedi's time as an e-girl was marked by her intellectual pursuits, unique fashion sense, and the intense reactions she provoked online. Although she is now retired from the e-girl scene, her impact on her followers and the online community continues to be felt. Her story serves as a reminder of the complexities of online personas and the intense scrutiny that comes with internet fame.
