Technically it's just 'K' but 'Kei' looks more like a name when put on documentation[/indent] 𝗔𝗚𝗘 [color=00FF7F]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color] [INDENT]29 {135}[/INDENT] 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 [color=00FF7F]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color] [INDENT]For someone that is so quiet Kei's sense of style is rather loud. Though rather short, standing at just about five feet flat, she stands out due to her eccentric choice in attire. Rare is the day when Kei isn't wearing clashing, bright colors or mismatched articles of clothing or bogged down with so many accessories that she sounds like a piggy bank when she walks. There's a very childish quality to her style, like what one would imagine a child would dress like if their parents just let them go wild for a day. Though Kei wears bright, gaudy clothing, the brightest thing about her is her smile. She's always smiling, even towards people that she's never met, and her wide grin is matched by the wonder that is clear in her bright brown eyes. How her eyes are so bright is a mystery, but they're the brightest browns Kei has ever seen. Much like with her clothing, Kei's hair is eccentric though has periods where the style doesn't change, just the color. Often she'll go blonde for a month and then spend half a year with brown hair before deciding that she felt like streaking her hair in a rainbow. What makes her vibrant style all the more odd - as if there weren't enough oddities as is - is that she doesn't look like a child; she actually looks like an adult, albeit one that still possess the quality of life that several youths have. But there are blemishes on her skin covered up by cosmetics (which area also eyecatching and vibrant) and a sort of weary-eyed tiredness behind the wide wonderment. [/INDENT] 𝗢𝗖𝗖𝗨𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 [color=00FF7F]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color] [INDENT]Kei owns a non-profit that takes its inspiration from a foundation overseas. While that foundation is tailored towards children with life threatening medical concerns, Kei's foundation strives to make dreams a reality for children and the elderly alike regardless of medical condition. For children the aim is to have them 'wish upon a star' so that one dream, within reason, is accomplished; for the elderly often the aim is to spend time with them or help cross out things on a bucket list. In both cases the secondary aim is to bring smiles to their faces. The organization is called the 'Shining Star Foundation'. [/INDENT] 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 [color=00FF7F]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color] [INDENT]Solitary. The politics within the Fae Courts never really bode well with Kei, especially when it pertained to the Unseelie and the Winter Court and their dismissal of humans. She's not the biggest fan of the Summer Court either as she finds their conniving nature to be no better than being a liar. She holds little favor with the courts given her love of humans and spreading joy, assuming the courts even know of her; she assumes she'd be shunned anyway. [/INDENT] 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 [color=00FF7F]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color] [INDENT]Kei only cares about one thing on any given day and that is making sure that anyone she meets leaves with a smile or, failing that, a brightened mood. She treats the world and the things she sees with a [b]childlike[/b] wonder, impressed by the simplest things no matter how often she sees them. Kei is the type of person who is amazed every time someone turns on the lights in a dark room. This also has he unfortunate side effect of her being rather [b]naive[/b], or at least quite good at pretending to be naive. Kei doesn't see the bad in anyone, still believing after all these years that everyone is a wonderful person and that so-called 'bad people' are just people that don't know how good they truly are. Of course, because things are rarely so sunshine and rainbows as Kei would like to believe, she has been taken advantage of countless times in her life. People have taken every bit of money she had on her person and she would still wave them goodbye and wish them well. That she is so positive could very much be seen as dangerous, after all who was always so damn happy, but with Kei that's just how she is. There's no deep ulterior motive, she's just happy to meet you and happier to help you if she can. Even still, Kei has felt the years and the countless instances of strife, from small conflicts to larger, world affairs, and though she has remained so [b]upbeat[/b] all this time...it's definitely taken its toll on the girl. Her greatest fear is in finding out what would happen if she should wake up one day and not feel positive. She doesn't believe she could handle such a powerful mood swing so she'll continue to smile until it hurts. And even then she'll endure it so long as it makes people happy.[/INDENT] 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 [color=00FF7F]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color] [INDENT]For the longest time, Kei was alone. She was born, she believes, but she knew only the faces of her parents and the hushed whispers before things went dark. When she awoke, she was alone and lost, living near a mountain in relative seclusion. Animals fled from her; perhaps they could sense the magical energies present inside of her, magical energies which never seemed to manifest themselves. Still, Kei, then a nameless fairy, tried to keep a positive outlook on her situation. She was surrounded by such beauty, after all, the trees and grass, the clouds in the sky, the wind in the air...what was not to love about, well...life? Her first meeting with others came when her ears picked up the sounds of what sounded like singing. Curious, Kei followed her ears to find a gathering of humans who weren't singing but rather praying as they buried one of their own. Kei didn't say a word, she merely observed this curious act until it ended. As the humans were returning to their homes, Kei met the gaze of a young man; she waved to him but he was whisked away before any further interaction could be made. The man came back a few days later and attempted to converse with Kei. Kei had never heard the language before, but enjoyed listening to the speech. The man believed that she was like the spirits in the stories, the ones that could bring the dead back to life. The man took her back to his home where his mother had fallen gravely ill. He wanted Kei to save her but the only comfort Kei could bring was to make the sickly woman's last days brighter. The mother passed on with a smile and Kei was welcomed among the humans as someone to ease the transition fro life to death. She didn't exactly understand this, but she was needed, she was loved, and she was happy. Kei was given the name Kei, after the first man's mother, and she lived among the people, learning their language at a rapid pace. It wasn't long before she was actually having conversations with everyone. But time is a cruel mistress and the people Kei lived with eventually succumbed to their own end. But Kei wouldn't let sadness keep her down, she couldn't. So she traveled, finding another village and living among them. While she couldn't raise the dead, she could ease the dying and that was a valued commodity in those days. Kei's heart knew no evil and is what allowed her to remain so youthful and childish well into her years. While she does understand English (and at least four other languages), she prefers to use sign language or let her expressions talk for her.

While not nearly the recognizable entity like the one that inspired her, the Shining Star Foundation has became a known quantity within Edgetoun and has expanded its influence to more of the country as a whole. It's run out of a small building with an unassuming front - except for the wacky tube man that is always on the roof. There's an entire room that's set up as a play area for children to spend time while Kei handles meetings with parents or professionals. As it represents the culmination of her efforts to spread happiness and smiles, Kei loves having a place all her own. She'd likely live there if she could get away with it. [b]Edgetoun Community Hospital[/b] Kei, when she isn't organizing dreams and using what magic she can to ensure things are just perfect, is often volunteering at the hospital - specifically in the pediatrics ward. She's been known to dress in costume when visiting or even offer to do non-medical tasks that the nurses are happy to foist upon her.[/INDENT] 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗦 & 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗬 [color=00FF7F]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color] [INDENT]As far as Kei is concerned, everyone she meets and makes smile is a friend.[/INDENT] [/hider]
