OCCUPATION: Cult member Unemployed socialite

NEIGHBORHOOD: Originally from Grey Pebble. Has recently returned from Korea and is living in Grey Pebble.

MEMBER GROUP: Gifted

POWERS:
      Keerin never thought they'd have a power that was useful. When it manifested, it was small and slight; they were only ever able to create small blocks of ice. It wasn't much, but with some practice, Keerin was able to perfect the fine art of cooling drinks to the ideal temperature, able to maintain an iced tea in the middle of summer for hours. A small skill, almost useless. Just like them.
     But it wasn't until their cousin swept them away overseas that their power grew into its own. Under their guidance, Keerin is able to plummet the temperature to extreme depths, scratching the veil thin until frigid space bleeds through, freezing everything it touches. They're nowhere near as powerful as their cousin or brother, but it is something that they are good at, and there are precious few things they could call their own.

THE LOOKS

HEIGHT: 5'10"

WEIGHT: 120lbs

HAIR COLOR: Silver

EYE COLOR: Dark blue that borders on purple

FACE CLAIM: None. See art.

OVERALL APPEARANCE:
     Keerin is the quiet companion to Kai's loudness. They're tall and thin with narrow eyes and high cheekbones that could be considered beautiful. But they're quiet, and their slender frame lets them fade into the background. Their hair, once dyed, is permanently frozen silver.
     Keerin prefers to dress in black, favoring clean silhouettes with long skirts or pants with wide, flowy legs and minimal jewelry in their styling. Their hair is loosely tied back and is often held up with a silver pin gifted to them by their cousin. It's their most prized possession.

INSIDE

DISLIKES: Crowds, loud music, high-pressure situations, underperforming

STRENGTHS: Nice, creative, polite, quiet, thoughtful, disciplined

WEAKNESSES: Cold, condescending, detached, cruel, nonconfrontational

OVERALL PERSONALITY:
     Keerin is quiet and subdued; their personality is subtle and oft overlooked. They don't put themselves out terribly much, preferring to keep to themselves. As much as they enjoy being around people, they would rather be at home. Keerin is avoidant; they despise conflict and are quick to appease.
This comes at a cost, however. Keerin is a ghost in their own body; their preferences and boundaries erode to better fit in with those who would accept them. They're desperate for some reassurance and care as they're deeply insecure. They view themselves as a failure in almost every respect.

BACKGROUND

HOMETOWN: Los Eurosia

FAMILY: Estranged from Kai. Estranged from parents. Complicated relationship with grandmother; ultimately estranged. Close with cousin, Iroksa Tiriliante.

PETS: None

HISTORY:
     Second-born, Keerin was always in the shadow of Kai. Ever quiet, ever silent, they admired their brother for all the things they couldn't do and wouldn't dream of doing at all. They hung onto his every word and their eyes glittered as he showed them the wonders of the city and its nightlife. When he sang, so did they. Where he went, they went. What he dreamed, they dreamed.
     But they were quiet, always a wallflower, always circling their brother's fire, always second best. As much as they cheered for him, they never felt valued or wanted. Deep down, they knew they were expendable. But they loved their brother and when Kai left the family to pursue his dream, they went with him.
     It was a mistake.
     Kai burned too brightly and flared out into nothing. When his depression took him, Keerin hovered close, fluttering fingers pressing band-aids to bleeding cuts, cooking and caring for him when he couldn't. They still talked to their parents, of course, trying hold the threads of their family together even as they frayed.
     But as Kai got worse, so too Keerin became distant. It hurt to see their brother, their star, their purpose, collapse under his own weight. Resentment grew in their heart and they grew distant, hating the chains that bound them to him. But they stayed, though at a distance. And then one day, Kai met someone new, someone who could care for him.
     Keerin was left adrift, and in the wake of their lost purpose, they returned to their family home. It was a prison. Their grandmother pushed for an heir, hoping that Keerin could be the head of the empire she had so carefully built. But the attempt to groom them into a ruthless CEO failed before it could start; Keerin could bear the weight of public pressure, but not the demands of the business.
     They were a failure. Yet again, they were left adrift and cut off. For months, they lingered in purgatory, languishing in a hell they had chosen. It wasn't until their distant cousin, Iroksa Tiriliante, visited from Korea. With their arrival, they brought the cold chill of winter, the promise of the dark and what lay beyond. They were encouraging and supportive of Keerin, delighting in their power and singing songs of the end. It was alluring. When Iroksa returned, they offered an outstretched hand to Keerin, an offer to visit in the palm of their hand.
     It wasn't even a choice. They accepted immediately. The mountains were cold and the nights were long, and Keerin's power grew in the dark. Of course, they couldn't stay there forever. There was work to be done at home; they returned home stronger than before, their power and strength and confidence grown. Keerin brought home the winter dark and with it, a new sense of purpose.
