 | Kiaran, "Kia" "... What do you want?"
|
Personality
Kiaran - sometimes called Kia for short - is, at first glance, a bit of a quiet and standoffish individual. They aren't usually one to approach others first unless the individual catches their eye, or otherwise unless absolutely necessary. In addition, they tend to be a little on the short/curt or defensive side when talking to strangers, at least at first. They have a distinct distrust towards new people, and as such often needs time to build their own opinion on someone before they can open up proper.
A lot of this distrust towards strangers seems to stem from them feeling like they need to protect their two sisters - feeling like they have to be the one keeping an eye out for distrustful or unsavory individuals. Once they feel able to open up and chill out around you though, they can prove to actually be a somewhat carefree and chill individual - someone who doesn't mind a good chat with friends and family alike.
In opening up, Kiaran - on top of being generally carefree and chill - can also prove to be a bit of a daydreamer, and in regards to certain situations an optimist. Though they aren't usually one to be sedentary for long, they like to spend moments just stopping to smell the flowers, and to enjoy what they have.
They enjoy the outdoors, and running around in their Kirin form to feel the wind running thru their mane; in fact, they oftentimes favor this form when out and about. They also enjoy sweets - often being seen nibbling on fruits and whatnot - or if ever introduced to candy, sucking on a sucker. They have an interest in music - wanting to learn to play a variety of instruments, though presently is good with drums. They, on top of this, have an interest in woodcarving- having made the wooden body/frame to a frame drum that they are generally seen carrying with them.
Above all else though, Kiaran values their family, and their bond with their sisters - growing easily distressed and worked up if they're not sure where either of them are or if otherwise led to believe that either of them are in danger. They are quick to rise to the defense of their siblings, and they are also there if one of them is feeling unsure, scared or distraught. In some cases, their sisters come before other friends, even.
As far as dislikes go though, Kiaran dislikes rain and ice for slick surfaces - which makes it more difficult to run and gallop as they please. They, additionally, dislike spicy food, and nuts - disliking the texture. Loud noises - such as thunder, explosions, or just a whole lot of shouting - is hard on their sensitive ears in their kirin form, and as such they dislike noisy situations as well. They also dislike it when others try to touch their horn - seeing it as extremely disrespectful, especially if someone tries to grab at their horn without permission.

Backstory
Kiaran was born in a clan of primarily other equine or cervine deluvians - Kirin being the majority amongst them. Much of the clan - Kiaran's own family included - was heavily mixed in heritage, many of whom having Elemi blood in them due to once having welcomed in a small group of Elemi who had crashed on Deluvia, many generations ago. Their father was the advisor to the leader of their clan, and their mother at the time a warrior - though she would die in battle when Kiaran was only 1, and their father would remarry another 2 years afterwards - Kiaran's stepmother being a local shaman of the clan.
Aside from parents though, Kiaran would have their older sister - a Kirin with control over ice named Deirdre - and their younger half-sister, another Kirin whom would develop a control over electricity named Aileen. Deirdre would oftentimes be the one to watch over them as the three grew up together - their father oftentimes busy assisting the leader of the clan, and their mother often helping in rituals - but when time allowed, their parents were attentive and doting over the three of them.
Kiaran was a little bit of a free spirit in their youth though, having a tendency to wander beyond the safety of the herd to explore the surrounding wilderness when neither parent was available - leading to a curious Aileen and a fussy Deidre coming along more often than not. Kiaran always wondered what laid beyond, though never really had the courage to wander too far - always returning to the clan before dark, or at the urging of Deirdre.
At least, until they no longer had a clan to return to.
Being much too young at the time - Kiaran being 13, and Aileen 9 - they were oftentimes sheltered from interpersonal drama within the clan, always trying to be reassured that nothing was wrong, that everyone got along just fine... Though in truth, discontent for the leader brewed within parts of the clan - and it only continued to build, until it burst into a violent attempt at a coup; causing a conflict between those loyal to the leader, and the ones attempting the coup. Kiaran and their sisters would find their father dead - having tried to protect the leader - and their injured mother urging the three of them to run as far as they could.
Listening to their mother's warnings, the trio would flee the clan together - setting off into the wild unknowns of Deluvia in a bid for safety.
For the last passing years, the three of them would have each-other to look out for, seeing as their elemi blood oftentimes made them a bit of a black sheep amongst other clans - assuming that such clans would even allow strangers in in the first place. They move from place to place, accepting whatever hospitalities they can find from other clans - and longing for the family that they've lost, if not a place to call home.
