Kei Arawn

Keithra "Kei" Arawn is one of Almoons' protagonists. She's a faber-rana hibri, with a rana mother and faber father, who was raised in a secluded faber village hidden from the humans. Kei doesn't have much knowledge of humans or other species, but doesn't like ranae because they threw out her mother for marrying a faber. Kei is good friends with Ari, and is a Jammer.

Appearance
Kei is about 6"2, which is a bit shorter than other fabri her age because of her rana blood. She has dark skin and one bright green eye, one blue eye. She also has weirdly long fingers. Her toes are webbed, so she tries to avoid slippers, and she doesn't have gills but can hold her breath for a long time and moves well underwater. Her hair is long, dark, and incredibly wavy. She gave up trying to comb it years ago and usually throws it into a loose side braid. Sometimes it has random vines growing in it that make it look like she has a bunch of leaves tangled in her hair. She likes wearing T-shirts and shorts, and can occasionally be persuaded to wear longer pants.

Personality
Kei is sarcastic, and often known to call her friends idiots before joining in on exactly what they're doing. She's suspected to be slightly ADHD - she's hyper even without sugar, and has trouble concentrating sometimes; other times she gets so absorbed she misses six hours and doesn't realize. She's shy around strangers but goes crazy with close friends. She's creative, and often talkative. Unlike Ari, she doesn't have any trust issues, but can be a bit insecure with what her friends think of her and needs affirmation and emotional care from time to time. She always tries to help out, even if she doesn't know how to do something either.

Background
Kei's parents are a married couple, but she rarely sees extended family because most of them disapprove of her parents' interspecies marriage and her being a hibri. They live in a remote faber village somewhere in a tropical rainforest. Kei has a sister almost ten years younger, Kaily. Their parents aren't strict but Kei doesn't dare break the rules because when they scold her they scold her. Up until she joins Aidyn, she has a pretty normal life.
