## Appearance

Keomi is a woman of average height and build, however due to malnutrition, her cheeks and collar bone are slightly sunken. Her russet brown hair is straight. She keeps it tied into six locks with spikey bangs flared out on her forehead. Her skin is tan and due to her rough street life, her body has minor cuts and scrapes. Keomi’s face is diamond shaped. Her large, warm green/ hazel eyes are downwardly tilted. She has thick lashes and thin arched eyebrows. Her nose is this thin with a straight nasal bridge.

The shirt is loose around her stomach area, puffy on the upper arms, and fitted on the lower arms. There is a beaded green stripe near the elbow on both sleeves. The top of the shirt is almost completely torn up. This leaves her shoulders exposed. She sports a green headscarf, dangling earrings, and hair ties. Keomi walks barefoot.

## Personality

Keomi is a docile, pessimistic woman who desires freedom. Due to spending long periods of time in social isolation with little to do, she has become very contemplative. She seldom interacts with others is highly perceptive and observant to her surroundings. A large part of her envies others who have more freedom and status than herself. This attitude goes so far to lead her into desiring being someone else. That being said, Keomi values herself enough to strive for self-preservation. In fact, the ability to survive in different environments despite the hardships she runs into is her strongest character trait. Unfortunately, the way she often achieves survival is by minimizing contact with others, suppressing expressions of her opinions, and even throwing others under the bus in acts of cowardice. It's implied that she struggles with "learned helplessness". Keomi dreams of being a more valued member of society but also hopes to meet someone that relates to her in her current blight. After watching Facadia's strife, she is inspired to challenge her learned helplessness and passive disposition.

Keomi values fairness, freedom, peace, and the consideration of others. She is very empathic both towards peoples who share her struggles, such as Facadia, but also those she does not relate to like Enguerrand. She often feels painful emotions regarding the suffering of others even when it makes her own life worse. These values and emotions ultimately get bottled up inside her because she does not feel that her actions can make a difference and that drawing attention to herself should be avoided.

## Abilities

Keomi has survived being under a pile of burning rubble and rescued Facadia from a fire, showing that her body is fire resistant. However, she is still impacted somewhat by the toxicity of smoke.
