Kay

* Male
* Female

**Kay** is one of the main protagonists in *Haven*, alongside their partner , Yu. The two fled the Apiary after they were slated to be given to their mate.

## History

Kay grew up in a foster home on Truth. And even though it was a little crowded and there wasn't much privacy at times, they weren’t miserable. Everyone was nice to them and they had friends. Sometimes, Kay and their friends would play Alpha Zooloolum, though they were never able to finish a whole round of the game, since it takes a long time to finish.

And if they ever wanted to be alone, they could always hide in the backyard. After discovering an experimental power plant, it is revealed that Kay's necklace is able to open the door, alluding that they are possibly from Source.

## Personality

Kay is a highly intelligent biologist who is much more concerned with the reality of their situation than Yu is. While Yu would rather live in the moment, Kay wants to be prepared for any problems that may arise if the Apiary finds them. They try to make the best of the situation they’re in through use of comedic relief, as seen when they prepare the appledews in different ways and gives each "recipe" a fancy name, despite it being their only food source. They are also brave, caring, and loyal.

## Physical appearance

Kay is a young man/woman of average height with a moderate-to-lean muscular build. They have dark skin, unkept black hair, narrow amber eyes, and a stubbled beard when chosen as male. There is a white line tattooed across his/her nose that ends at the halfway point under each eye and additional two white dots tattooed underneath each eye. They wear a necklace (known as Kay's Medal in game) that is the last memory they have of their parents. They’ve had the necklace for as long as they can remember, and it’s only taken off to shower, sleep, and change the chain when it inevitably breaks.

## Plot

Prior to the start of the series, Kay and their partner, Yu, take a Flow Bridge to an unstable and fractured planet called Source. After their arrival, they find that the only readily available food source on their islet is appledews, something Yu quickly gets tired of. While wandering, the islet they were on suddenly breaks in half, separating **Kay** and Yu from their Nest. They soon find what appears to be a small scale Flow Bridge, with it being their only option, they decide to follow the bridge. Fortunately, it connects to another nearby islet allowing them to make their way back to The Nest.

## Relationships

### *Love Interests*

* **Yu**: Yu is Kay’s girlfriend/boyfriend. Not much is known about how they met, but they were in a relationship before the game starts.

### *Others*

* **Erena**: Although she wasn't Kay's direct boss, Erena had scouted and hired them into a position at ExaNova. It's through this position that Kay was able to meet Yu.

### *Pets*

* **Oink**: Oink is a Salamash that Yu and Kay met on Chogeme. He eventually followed them to Guyame and sticks around the Nest where he gets his name from Yu. They assume he stays because he was lonely on his islet.
* **Birble**: Birble is a giant flying creature that approached Yu and Kay on Benako. Kay decided to try riding it and, despite Yu saying it was a terrible idea, moved forward with his/her plan anyway. After a successful flight, Yu decided to name her Birble and she stuck around!

## Trivia

* Even though Kay is a Biologist, they are also shown to have a little knowledge on engineering.

	+ If you interact with the "Alpha Zooloolum" game when on the Nest, you will hear Kay reading the instructions.
