Kez

**Kez** is the deuteragonist and the bell companion to Ryan Akagi and Min-Gi Park throughout their journey in Book 4.

## Appearance

Kez is a flying sentient grey concierge bell who leaves blue pixie dust behind. Her mouth forms between the sounding shell and the base.

## Personality

Kez is kind and helpful, but also has a tendency to be dismissive about the problems she creates, most notably those with other denizens of the train. Despite this, however, she has everyone's best interests at heart, as noted with her interactions with Jeremy, when she helps him sort out his issues and gets him off the train. She also seemingly abandons Ryan and Min-Gi in "The Old West Car", only to return and save them before they are executed, further cementing her tendency to help people in whatever strange manner she deems fit.

## Powers and Abilities

Besides the power of flight Kez can make hand gestures with her pixie dust, store items in her mouth, and can be rung like any concierge bell.
