He hates being put into social situations, but he is also keen on getting things done. His pragmatic approach is what allows him to retain his job as an employee at Mari Cafe. Khali has an extremely hard time opening up to and trusting people and as such has no friends before meeting Marcel.

Khali has a set goal and knows what he wants and needs to do to achieve it. Marcel's carefree attitude pulverizes him.

## Biography

Marcel was born with a mother and a father, but was put into an orphanage at the age of 6. That is where he lives his life for the next 9 years. In the orphanage, Khali obtains a few cards, the first of which is Raju. As a young child without a mother or father figure, through his imagination and supernatural happenings, the image he develops of Raju has her portrayed as his mother figure and as such his only family. He struggles to make any friends at the orphanage and is known to be a difficult child growing up there. Although he has no other place to stay, he has to move out at the age of 18 and starts applying for jobs at an unclear age and his job as an employee at Mari Cafe eventually sticks, granting him a steady income. Now he works hard and saves his money in order to be able to find a place to stay at the age of 18, as well as to seek education.

A mysterious boy starts turning up at the cafe during his shifts whom he had previously expressed irritation towards. The boy, Marcel, insists on playing the card game against him after seeing he possessed at least one card. After playing against each other is when the two begin bonding and Marcel eventually becomes Khali's first friend despite the wall he puts up.

## Relationships

### Marcel

Khali likes to think of himself as Marcel's rival when they embark on their adventure and meet other people. He almost always shows some sort of disdain towards Marcel out of his pride, but ultimately sticks around. He opens up to Marcel as the story goes on and despite his tough behaviour, the roles between the two of them switch when Marcel is put into a position of high pressure and stress i the story, instead being the voice of reason to Marcel instead of the other way around. They become best friends by the end of the story.

### Unistaja

Unistaja serves as Khali's mentor and guardian through his journey. She becomes protective of him when faced with dangerous situations and expresses Khali's need of staying alive and safe. She doesn't express how she really feels about Khali until the very end of their adventure.
