Kabir Milikha is one of the main characters of the Scenes web-comic, and the older brother to Abra. He first appeared in a different incarnation in season seven as one of the several new characters to hail from Syria and join the main cast of Scenes. In the TV series, Kabir was a new student at Edenrose Community School who found a job at May's Cafe. He also dated Talara Couture before his eventual death at the end of the season.

In the Scenes web-comic, Kabir, along with his younger sister Abra, find themselves in the same strange, alternate world as the other main characters. They both are lost and in search of their family, or a way back home. Kabir is shy, level-headed, and experienced in combat. He proves to be fast on his feet, strong, and a quick thinker as well. He uses these skills for survival, as he most likely also did back in Damascus where he lived before. Kabir may often let grudges or negative feelings get the best of him, though, as he struggles with melancholic Depression, as well as trauma from his upbringing in a war-torn country. Throughout the comic he befriends Azadeh, Viata, and Bander.

## Appearance

Kabir is a tall, young adult maren with muted, blue-toned, teal horn color. He has bandages around both horn tips, which point forwards and are quite sharp. He has tan skin with a muscular body build, and reddish-brown eyes. He typically wears a tight black t-shirt which features orange accent stripes at the hem of both sleeves, as well as the neckline. He wears soft brown chinos that have rips in the thighs, and he sports a brown belt with a silver buckle around his waist. Kabir also wears handmade, crafted bracelets that Abra makes him. His shoes are a Balmoral style and a light brown color with gray soles.

He is a self-taught photographer, so Kabir is often seen with his camera suspended around his neck by a thick strap. It was given to him by a friend and canonically is a Canon EOS Rebel T6.

## Personality

Kabir is modest and reserved, which he would accredit to his religious upbringing. He can often come off as apprehensive and quick to assume the worst to others around him. In actuality, he's just protective of him and his family, especially Abra. He's slow to trusting and it usually takes time for him to open up to someone, and his lack of social experience leaves him asking questions or communicating in a way that seems harsh or offensive.

He's also dedicated to his art, but has lost motivation due to depression; was never able to embrace his love for art back in Syria. This stems from his tight schedule and constant need to help his family out physically and financially whenever he could. Which he enjoyed, but unfortunately missed out on many artistic opportunities because of it. However, he gains most of his motivation or determination from the drive to protect his family, so it could be seen as a positive as well. He's also open to a romantic relationship, which he was never able to experience due to the same reasons.

## Relationships

### Abra

Abra and Kabir are both extremely close with one another. They fight in each other's name, and frequently engage in combat alongside each other when needed. They have lots of experience and, although they seemingly have a dysfunctional, petty brother-sister relationship, are able to community excellently when fighting. Fighting not only foes, but each other. They were taught never to argue when unnecessary. Only when communication is needed and you're not feeling heard. Besides that, they get along fairly well but have very different personalities. Abra is hyperactive and fun-loving, while Kabir is more of a tortoise-type individual, who takes it slow and enjoys life at his own pace. They are able to combine their own passions, photography and modeling, to create visually-appealing art pieces. As a bonding experience, they often craft or collage said photos together to make something even more unique.

### Viata

Kabir is a good friend of Viata's, and serves as a sort of deuteragonist throughout their time together. He many of times acts as the voice of logic or reasoning when trying to work with one of her plans. They started off a bit awkward, but have come to get along better as time advanced. Viata and Kabir both have empathic tendencies and see the emotional appeal within people and things. They work together well in tough situations.

### Azadeh

Kabir and Azadeh quickly have an interesting interaction between the two of them. Azadeh is easy-going, serene, and open-minded, while Kabir is anything but. He sticks to his own principles like they are law, and he frequently dismisses her "hippie-ish" spiels and, most notable in the beginning, did not believe a single word she said. They also go on to become closer and understand each other better. They both have a love for art and nature, and see the beauty in the simplicity of natural living. She also encourages his art projects and is typically first in line to support his work. She thinks what he does is admirable, and is able to open his mind up on her way of living as well.

### Bander

Kabir is completely indifferent to Bander, though leaning more on the disliking side. Bander becomes fast friends with Kabir's sister Abra, which causes tensions. Kabir comes from an Islamic background and doesn't fully support Abra and Bander's friendship, at least at first. Despite this, Kabir and Bander are able to relate on their feelings of failure or unrealized dreams.

### Tofyte

Upon meeting, Kabir is immediately suspicious of Tofyte and her reasons for accompanying the group on their journey. He lacks any trust in her, and she does the same to him out of protection for herself. He may make negative remarks about her in front of the others, but most times won't receive any acknowledgement of what he said. This leads to Tofyte getting away with a lot of her typical tricks. They don't get along well at all, with the exception of a few specific moments when the two must find ways to work together for the greater good. Such as when confronting Declan about his relationship and manipulation of Viata.
