Kenny Moy is the student coach for the girls’ team of the Forensics Club at Sonia’s high school. He’s extremely intelligent and is one of only a handful of Chinese students at the school. He and Sonia become friends quickly; he often watches pro wrestling and engages in bilingual conversations with Titi Aurora that baffle Sonia. Ken is skilled at teaching Sonia and the other girls on the team to analyze chains of logic so they can more effectively take down their opponents, and he encourages Sonia to be less emotional in her debates. He’s the first student from Cardinal Spellman High School to be accepted into an Ivy League school, and he encourages young Sonia to also pursue an Ivy League education. Ken settles in California, and he and Sonia remain friends long after they both graduate from Princeton.
