**Canelo Kenzo** is a minor character who was one of Josie's childhood friends. He is a member of Noir Tokala and currently resides in Gellis.

## Appearance

Canelo has light brown hair, warm, brown eyes, and typically wears formal, white and red clothing. He wears subtle red eyeliner that makes his typically soft eyes seem sharp and intimidating, and his medium length hair is typically tied in an off center ponytail to his left. On his right ear, he wears a small, red tassel earring. His hands are smooth despite drumming constantly, and are surprisingly cold to the touch.

## Personality

Canelo is kind, upbeat, and determined. During his practices with Noir Tokala (NT) he is shown to be hardworking, intelligent and light hearted. He jokes around and is commonly referred to as the friend that everyone can go to in times of need. He is easily distracted and apologetic. When he and a few members of NT were late, he apologized on their behalf and said that it was his fault.

## Biography

Canelo was born in Gellis and raised in the musgravite class. He was around the same age as Josie and attended the same school as her, they were classmates for a few years before Josie's arranged marriage with Crest. He admired her ambition and dreams, and missed her after she left. He continued his studies and began preparing to go into a medical or military field when he attended the Wintertide Ball for the first time.

Upon witnessing the idols and performers, he then changed his field and began working to become a musician, much to his parent's discontent. Eventually, they learned of how lucrative the field could be and began supporting him. They helped him pass his classes and even bought him a drum kit to begin practicing on. Canelo loved the drums and played them nearly everyday. When he was in his teen years he auditioned for a production company and was accepted and put into a practice band: Noir Tokala. There he met his bandmates: Delwyn, Vetle, and Piren. He was also reunited with his former classmate and close friend, Josie.

The five of them produced a few songs before deciding to debut together. Before then, rumors about the Roka's betrayal had begun circulating, and Josie was forced to leave the organization. Canelo, who had grown to care for her quite deeply, considered following her, however the promise of success and remaining with his other friends pushed him to stay. He strongly advocated for keeping the empty spot in the group open for if Josie ever returned and wanted to play with them, leading to the group debuting without a bass player.

NT (and Canelo) have since continued playing, touring, and producing music for the citizens of Gellis.
