OrchidKai

**Kai** is the creator and owner of **Ember Moon**, a project she has been gradually developing for three years. As a junior in high school, Kai is probably too busy to be spending this much time on a passion project outside of school, but she would much rather write lore than write essays.

## Biography

Her online name, Kai, albeit not her real name, is practically her real name, as it is what her family and some of her friends refer to her as. For the majority of her childhood, Kai lived in Georgia, but now resides in good ol' Texas with her parents, two younger siblings, and her dog Miso. *Yeehaw*. She hopes to one day meet all of the EM members in person (and maybe kidnap them). She isn't really sure what she wants to do after college, but she's really interested in entomology, so maybe that's a start. Originally, she wanted to be a fantasy writer, but she figures she can do that regardless of what career path she takes. Kai is a devout band kid and aspires to be a drum major for her marching band. Considered the motherly figure in many of her friend groups, she can often be seen scolding her friends for swearing and consistently reminding them to drink water. Ember Moon is her pride and joy and she wouldn't trade it for the world.

## Roleplaying Experience

### Novatrice

Kai joined Novatrice on November 26, 2020 while looking for servers to join in quarantine. It was her first experience of Discord roleplaying, and she is grateful to Hoshi and all of the members that made her feel welcome. She went on to create her two most iconic ocs, Auryn and Ender. Her other ocs included Moses, Briar, and Lanisa. Kai's love for storytelling and worldbuilding was enhanced greatly through Novatrice, and in many ways, the Novatrice server encouraged her idea of Ember Moon and led her to create her own roleplay server.

### Ember Moon

Though the server was opened exactly one year after Kai's arrival in Novatrice, Kai had been planning the EM server months in advance. She planned for it to have fully-fleshed out lore documents and several scavenger-hunt-like autoresponders set up, but inevitably decided no one wanted to read through 20 docs worth of lore plus a CYOA just to get to the roleplaying itself, so she skipped that part and just opened the server. Ember Moon has given Kai an opportunity to improve her writing skills and in turn, make her roleplays much more literate and engaging.
