Kenya

My name is Kenya, I’m from the OG Gavriels Family, here is all the info about my character

BACKSTORY:
Along with Ruby, I was born in the slums of Antica. Our fae mother passed away due to a mysterious illness when we were four. Our father abandoned us before we were even born. Together, Ruby and I grew up alone on the streets. This caused us to become very skilled thieves from a young age. When we turned 13, we decided to try and start anew in Adarlan. Once we arrived, Ruby left to steal us some some money, while I looked around for jobs and housing. Turns out Ruby tried ah steak from the famed assassin Celaena Sardothian! We managed to talk it all out and Celaena brought us to her apartment, where we met Aedion and Rowan. She then went in to explain that she was actually Aelin Galathynius, the Queen off Terrasen. Aelin gave us housing, and because the fae makes are territorial mother hens, Aedion have me the job of shadowing her when she left at random times. Sometimes she was able to evade me, but s good amount of the time I was able to do this. If she knew I was shadowing her or not, she didn’t let on. I’m pretty sure she knew, and only tried an evade me when it was really important, but I still did as Aedion asked. Soon after, we ended up traveling to Skulls Bay, where we met Fenrys and Gavriel. Both Ruby and I became fast friends with with Fenrys. After the defeat of Maeve and Erawan, we were introduced to Asterin. Funny story, we first met when I was trying to find Manon to talk to her, Asterin found me and thought I posed a threat to Manon, so she gave a bit of a beating, then we were properly introduced and we exchanged “apologies”. We also got to formally meet Asterin and Gavriels daughters at their wedding. Nicoletta, who was Asterins adopted daughter, and Arreth, who was Gavriels daughter. Without the weight of war pressing on our shoulders, I became good friends with Aedion. Soon, Aedion started bringing me along as he mended his relationship with Gavriel, his father. Soon after, Gavriel asked Ruby and I if we would be his and Asterins adoptive children as well! My closest relationship within my new family was Aedion, though I also became pretty close with my new sister, Arreth. And of course I still had a close relationship with Ruby, seeing as she is my twin and I am her twin. Because I spent so long coming with Aedion when he was mending his relationship with his dad, I already had a pretty good relationship with him. But seeing as I was also Asterins daughter, and we were exactly close, I decided that I should try and become a bit closer with her as well, she is my mother after all. While staying with my mother, in the Western Wastes, I was able to get to know the Thirteen, who I think of as my aunts, cause they’re really close with my mom. I really surprised everyone when I befriended the Green-Eyed Demon Twins, Fallon and Faline. I also became pretty close with the Shadows, Edda and Briar, cause I trained with them. After my training with them, I also discovered my magic, I was able to use both shadow and wind magic. I started training with both Lorcan and Rowan, cause they’re magic was most similar to mine. Oh, and fun fact, before the gods were banished from our world, I was watched over by Temis, Godess of Wild Things. Temis supported me through all the tough times I went through.

Our names are written in Norse runes. All of the tattoos are in black ink.

FIGHTING STYLE:
My preferred weapon is a bow and arrow. Though I have been trained in all weapons and am skilled at them all as well. When I attack, I generally stay hidden in the shadows until my target is distracted, I then am able to do small quick sneak attacks. Using my wind and shadow magic and my quiet nature, I can stay perfectly hidden from all ears, noses, and eyes. Due to Rowan’s teachings I have the ability to cut off the air supply and suffocate a good sized group of people. With a bow and arrow, I have impeccable aim, I have made shots others have believed absolutely impossible. I have a custom view and custom arrows I use when fighting. My arrows are black with whorls of green going up the shaft, and the feathers are deep green. My bow is also black with whorls of green along it. My bow is named Safi Ya Usiku (Sah-fee Yah Oo-see-coo) which in Swahili translates to Cleaver of the Night. Also, when it comes down to it, I am a very skilled swords-women. My sword is fae made and was gifted to me by Aedion as a welcome to the family present. My sword is named Ikyoko Abali (Eek-yolk-oh Ob-ee). This was inspired by the words ikuku abali, which in Igbo, roughly translates to Wind of Night. I’m at a disadvantage when it comes to one-on-one fights, due to my height. Because of this, if I ever need to fight like this, I find advantages in getting to higher ground, whether it be by going up a hill, or climbing onto a crate, etc. I generally tend to try and keep the main fights to the night, cause then a can battle with Onwa at my side.

Onwa:
Onwa is a Night Ullr that I have befriended and now keep as a pet. During the day, Onwa is a cat with a coat of navy blue, so dark it almost looks black. During the night, being an Ullr, Onwa shifts into a panther with the same navy blue coat. Onwa translates to Moonbeam in Igbo. (This name was chosen not only out of my love for Fenrys, but because a Onwas transformation takes place when the first beam of moonlight touches the ground around her.) In the night, Onwa and I fight side by side, this leads to some awesome panther duos. When Ruby is fighting with us, we can do even more awesome too l trio stunts. Onwa is often used for gathering intel because easily blend into the dark at night, and looks like an average stray cat during the day. Also, Onwa and I have a special way to communicate with each other, so she can pass all the info she gathers on to me. No matter what form we may be in, Onwa and I can easily read each other’s expressions and movements to understand what is being said. Onwa has been fully trained in the arts of stealth, and is just as good as it as any professional might be. Onwas eyes are ice blue.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
My main job is the commander of legion which works closely the Bane. My legion is called Ibutho Lezilo (Ee-boo-though Lez-eel-oh), which translates to Legion of Monsters in Zulu. My legion is hand picked by me, and endured special training. We are a small, skilled group. We are often deployed on undercover missions that include infiltrating enemy camps. Though we are very skilled at fighting, we are never in the front lines, we are always off doing reconnaissance, infiltration's, or gathering Intel. With the Bane we are like yin and yang. The Bane is a large army that fights on the front lines, while we are a small legion which works in the dark, behind the scenes. Some of the training members of my legion endure is making our bodies immune to many commonly used poisons, as well as a good number of uncommon poisons as well. We are also trained in ways to extract information from others, and keeping others from extracting information from us. ( we are al very good at torture techniques, and are very good at withstanding torture). There are plenty more things we are trained in, but I’m not gonna go into detail about it all.

On the side, I am also a skilled thief. Due to my childhood, I have grown up learn how to steal things, with my training in the Ibutho Lezilo, I have only become better at it. I’m not a for hire thief, but of sunshine from my court (the court of Terrasen) needs it done, they know they can come to me. This is a skill I also use for myself sometimes, especially in enemy territory, when I see something I really like and can’t go in and buy for whatever reason.
