Have her be off by herself, away from an unidentified partner. That skirts around the problem and lets you explore a potentially interesting situation.
Also: the prompts were never really intended to be used as canon material. Your agent should be in character, but there is no reason whatsoever you have to work the prompts into your canon.

I managed to complete one prompt (the one where the agent explains how she came to be an agent) but I'm having trouble with the second one (the one where she nearly gets killed on a mission) due to the fact that I've created only one agent and I'm planning to integrate this event into a mission I possibly write with Silentthunder. What should I do? Cowrite the prompt with them?
I'm still hoping we can write that mission! I'm excited to do it with you.
What's that like? The size of a flea?
Now, mini-Words don't exist, as has been said time and again. But if they did, Broader would already be one from way back (er, as in, March):
Also, he has friends:
Or would, if he existed. Which he doesn't. Because there's no such thing as mini-Words.
Obvs.

I put Kelly with a generic agent that may or may not shine once I start working with her. I've gone through I think nine prompts sofar and I'm not happy with the results. Kelly's getting so pissed that she's breaking the fourth wall to complain, and I don't want her to be that meta.
I had trouble with the dice randomization and a bit of choice paralysis, so I cut up the prompts and put them individually into a hat. Unpairing the prompts might have sabotaged me.

Is there a keyword for the wiki that will give me a list of recruited but unclaimed characters? Maybe being handed their history would help.

I have messed with the concept that Kelly keeps getting partnered with joke characters that either have no business being in the PPC at all, or they clash so much with Kelly that they're not going to last as her partner.
I've got two potential missions picked where I think she'll probably solo them anyway.
If you've gone through nine of those prompts and haven't managed to write your character in a way that you like, it may be best to consider writing a different character. An agent who you can't write in unusual situations is one you're going to have a lot of trouble with.

There's probably something really easy to fix.
You're expected to take care of your own characters.
However, I'll be glad to help you with pointers and the like — shoot me an email to sur DOT nhm AT gmail DOT com.

Alternatively, ask someone else for help. Alternatively, use a free-to-use character such as Luxury. Alternatively, come up with a second agent. Alternatively, create a second agent.
