Mfumbe Taylor

Mfumbe Taylor is a student from Winfrey High and a member of Decode. Later on in the story, he becomes Kayla's true love.

Description
Mfumbe is a tall slim guy. He had black, close-cut hair and brown skin. What captured Kayla was his eyes- hazel marbled with vivid green. He was also evidently smart. He represented the school for the first Virtual Global Teen Jeopardy and won. (pg. 10) He is also very supportive to Kayla.

Character Development History
Mfumbe represented the school (Winfrey High) in the first Virtual Global Teen Jeopardy. He won, and also acquired a scholarship to Yale University. When his father told him to get the bar code tattoo or leave, he left the house. In fact, he couldn't get the scholarship without a bar code tattoo, so his father told him that. On Chapter 21 of the first book, he finds Kayla on a cabin, on the forests, and that's how their romance starts. On Chapter 23, he gets caught by Global officers for stealing medicine on a drug store with Kayla, but lets Kayla escape and run away so she does not get caught. Later, Tattoo Generation's National Spokesperson Nedra, on an article, said that parents should stay vigilant with their children and make sure they get the bar code tattoo, or they could result like Mfumbe. A brilliant senior whom, later went to his 'downfall' thanks to the 'inculcating' Decode group corrupting the mind of the young. He later returns in Chapter 27, coming to save Kayla, but gets in a fight with Zekeal, in which Kayla uses her telekinetic powers to make a branch fall on Zekeal. They survive the Tattoo Gen. attack, but in Chapter 28, Eutonah gets imprisoned in a Global-1 jail. Both Kayla and Mfumbe, at the end of the book, have visions of all resistance groups standing up and winning the fight. "Don't worry, I've see a vision and I see us winning. It's worth risking everything." Kayla said at the end of the book.

Some jerk deleted all of this for fun.

First Appearance
Kayla first met him at a stairwell in the school. She was saddened at the fact she had no chance at a future career as an artist. Mfumble arrived and accidentally dropped a few books down the stairs. He realized that Kayla was hurt for she was crying. Mfumbe offered some peppermint flavored gum: later a symbolic gesture of Mfumbe.
