->''Just because I always have a snappy comeback doesn't mean I don't break easily...''
-->Heart-broken Bay, to Emmett

Bay grows up in the wealthy and relatively loving and well-adjusted Kennish family, until at the age of 15 she discovers that these are not her biological parents and brother. She was switched at birth, and her biological mother is Regina Vasquez, an ex-alcoholic who raises Daphne (a girl born on the same day as Bay) as a single mother in a poor neighborhood afther her ex-husband walked out when Daphne went deaf as a toddler. Bay is navigating the difficulties of forming a bond with Regina and Daphne (and later her biological father as well), who come from a completely different background.



* RavenHairIvorySkin
* RegalRinglets

to:

* RavenHairIvorySkin
RavenHairIvorySkin: She has jet-black hair and dark brown eyes, on a pale skin. It's plot-important because her father, mother and brother are strawberry-blonde, blue-eyed people, and the family has wondered for Bay's first 15 years of life how she could look so different.
* RegalRinglets
RegalRinglets: She has small curls and is a rich, upper-class girl, which contrasts her with Daphne, who has a lower-class background and has straight hair.




A woman who has a daughter, Daphne, who becomes deaf as a toddler, after which her husband Angelo leaves her when a DNA-test reveals she is not his biological child. Because she never cheated on Angelo, she investigates this further, only to discover that Daphne isn't ''her'' biological child either, and was switched at birth. Regina keeps this knowledge to herself, since as a financially struggling, (ex-)alcoholic single mother of a deaf girl she's scared she'll lose ''both'' Daphne and her biological daughter. When these girls are 15 however, Bay suddenly turns up in her life, after finding out about the swich herself...



* TheAlcoholic: She is sober now but still considers herself an alcoholic.
* DarkSecret: The Kennishes suspect that Regina knew something they didn't. And they were right. It's revealed that she [[spoiler: knew about the switch before the series started. Around the time of Daphne's meningitis infection in 1998, Angelo had Daphne's DNA tested due to suspecting she wasn't his biological daughter. (They're dark-toned Hispanics while Daphne is a fair-skinned redhead, after all.) After finding out she wasn't his child, he assumed Regina had an affair (which she hadn't) and left. Through this, Regina realized that the hospital had switched the girls at birth. Fearing that she'd lose Daphne, whom she'd come to love like her own child, Regina kept the secret to herself and got her life together to be a good SingleMom to Daphne. However, she hired a private investigator to track down her biological daughter. Once finding Bay, she began to secretly watch her from afar as she grew up for years; such as attending her school recitals and approaching her when she was by herself to make small talk. Bay actually remembers these moments, but had thought nothing of it at the time.]] And now it's not a secret anymore.
** When she falls OffTheWagon, she tries to keep this a secret, but Daphne and Bay wouldn't have any of it.

* TheAlcoholic: She is has been sober now but for 8 years at the start of the series, though as she explains to Bay and Toby, she still considers herself an alcoholic.

** The Kennishes also react shocked when she reveals she's an alcoholic (though firmly ON the wagon for the last 8 years), and that Daphne's deafness was caused by a meningitis (the Kennishes immediately treat this as proof that she was neglecting Daphne).

Before this, he'd also left after Daphne was born, rightly suspecting she wasn't really his daughter given that she looked distinctly different from both him and Regina.
