Born Devin Renee Rihter, though he changed his first name to 'Devi' as quickly as he could, also known as Snow Owl, Kim Devi is a String Seer. His ability allows him to see the Strings of Fate connecting the people around him. He's also the famous K-Pop idol, Kim Taehyung's soulmate.

## Biography

### Childhood

Devi was born to Darcy and Malcom Rihter in San Fransico, California. They lived in a small apartment on Locksley Ave. Devi struggled the first few years in school, claiming that he feels like he's being tangled up by strings or ropes all the time. Neither of his parents believed his 'nonsense' and often told him to stop making things up.

His childhood wasn't the best. His father worked every day, and his mother only spent enough time with him to make it seem 'normal'. His favourite family holidays were when his aunt Kelsie came over and spent most of her time with him. Unlike his parents, his aunt believed Devi's words about the strings and told him he had an exceptional gift. A gift to see Strings of Fate. She helped him understand his ability and learn to live with it.

### Teens

Devi met his best friend, Amiyah, in Middle School when they started going to Independence High School. Devi had just lost his former best friend, who decided that if he wasn't going to tell her about her soulmate or various other strings, he wasn't worth her time. Amiyah found him in one of the stairwells alone and upset, and they became best friends in a matter of minutes. They had nearly all their classes together.

One of Devi's fondest memories of high school was when his former best friend attempted to start a rumour that Devi and Amiyah were dating, but that quickly fell flat when Devi admitted that he preferred boys over girls. The two found the incident hilarious until it made it back to Devi's parents, and things started to turn sour between Devi and his parents after that.

It was a random Thursday when Devi ran away from home in the winter. It was a day he'd never forget because it was the first and only time his father was physically violent against him. He ran to Amiyah's house a few blocks away. He told Amiyah what happened as she helped ice his face and bandage up his wounds.

Miss Sophina, Amiyah's mother, was livid and told Devi he could stay with them for as long as he wanted. Dom, Amiyah's father, went to Devi's house to have a word with his parents and returned with arms full of Devi's belongings stating that Devi was going to live with them from now on. Amiyah and Devi took the next day off school to settle Devi in Amiyah's room.

Living with Amiyah's family felt much safer and more comfortable than Devi had ever felt with his parents. With the Rowse's, Devi is allowed to be himself. He and Amiyah start learning Korean together twice to three times a week, and Amiyah's parents support them in whatever they want to do.

### Early Adulthood

After he and Amiyah graduate high school, they move into an apartment on 4th street together. Amiyah starts working part-time at a local clothing boutique, and Devi begins working at a restaurant waiting on tables. He lasted about two months before he quit in favour of working at a coffee shop. This job lasted about three years before the shop came under new management. Around this time, Devi's Seer status was uncovered, and his coworkers, and even his boss, began to badger him about it. He left to be away from the shitty treatment.

### Adulthood

Devi's third job was at a clothing store close to the apartment. He worked there about four months before being fired after he forgot to call in when he got sick. Amiyah, and even Amiyah's parents, told him not to worry about finding another job right away and take some time off. Only a few weeks afterwards, he met Taehyung at the BTS concert at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.

## Events of Strings

Devi begins travelling with BTS after their Oakland concert and orders a passport in the next city. Because of his insecurities, he struggles to be around the media and ARMY, thinking he's not good enough to be with Taehyung or travel with BTS. The group helps him through things as much as possible.

His insecurities come to a head after the concert in Fort Worth, and he attempts to drown himself in the hotel pool. If not for Yoongi, he may have succeeded. Yoongi gets angry at ARMY for what happened and posts an angry Twitter message with no context. Devi, however, is unaware as he's being taken care of by Taehyung. The group leave Texas and fly to New Jersey to prepare for the next concert. Yoongi wants to hold ARMY accountable for their actions, and Taehyung agrees.

During the week up to the Newark concert, Devi slowly comes back to himself using old coping mechanisms that helped him through his adolescence. It's mid-week before any members of BTS see him smile again. Devi skips the Saturday concert but is forced to attend the Sunday concert because BTS wants him there. At the concert, they announce Devi as their ARMY Envoy.

Devi's angry at BTS for doing this in front of ARMY, but Lillie, an ARMY, helps him feel better about the entire situation, encouraging him and telling him that a lot of ARMY really does love him. It helps, but Devi's still angry at the group for springing new news on him the way they did. After the show, the group tells him it wasn't their idea but Bang Si-hyuk's. Hearing this, Devi's still upset but understands.

In New York City, Hoseok and Jimin find out that Devi's bias is Hoseok and begin teasing him about it, though, Hoseok more so than Jimin.

After their final USA tour date, Devi heads back to San Francisco to wait for his passport, but before he boards his plane, Sejin tells him instead of meeting up with BTS the following week to head to Seoul so he can unpack uninterrupted.

Devi has a breakdown at his and Amiyah's apartment because he's away from Taehyung, but he feels better after video chatting with his soulmate. He spends a few days packing and getting ready to move to Seoul. Eventually, he convinces himself to go talk to his biological parents, wanting to let them know that he's found his soulmate and will marry him one day. His mother is happy to see him, but his father isn't. They get into an argument when Devi tells them the happy news and ends up storming out, declaring them strangers. His green familial strings with them break.

After ranting to Yoongi about what transpired, he visits Amiyah's parents instead of returning to the apartment. Amiyah's mother, Sophina, is more than happy to have her *son* visiting and takes Devi's news far better than his biological parents. Sophina is ecstatic and tells her husband the news. The two congratulate Devi and tell him that he's their son and always will be no matter what. Devi returns home to finish packing. The next day, his passport arrives, and he immediately books the first flight he can to Seoul.

Seoul is strange for Devi. He's not used to being alone, but thankfully, he's not alone for long. He meets Hahn Jeong-Hun at the airport. Jeong-Hun takes Devi to BTS's shared apartment to settle while waiting for his belongings to arrive.

While in Seoul, Taheyung shows up unannounced, and they spend time walking around Seoul for a day. Devi is invited to BigHit Entertainment to meet with Bang Si-hyuk, Taehyung goes with him as moral support. Devi and Si-hyuk speak about Devi officially becoming BTS's ARMY Envoy when he arrives. After a slight hesitation, Devi agrees, and he's hired on the spot as an employee. Devi and Taehyung play Just Dance in the lounge for a while before Devi is retrieved to go to his debut photoshoot.

Taehyung heads to Berlin to meet up with the rest of BTS, and Devi promises to meet up with them soon. His belongings are delivered the next day, and he spends the rest of his time in Seoul unpacking.

After packing, he travels to Berlin to meet up with BTS. Devi is more than happy to be spending time with BTS again.

A few days into their Berlin trip, Yoongi takes Devi to the hotel spa as a distraction. When they return, the rest of the group has set up a "welcome home" party for him before filming a RUN! BTS episode in the room with board games.

The next day, they head to a garden for a photoshoot, but Devi gets hurt in the backseat playing around with Jungkook and has to go to the hospital. He returns with a sprained wrist, but otherwise, just fine. He joins the group for their photoshoot and even takes photos with them. Devi then spends the following day playing with ARMY outside the arena.

The group travels to Paris, and Devi and Taehyung agree to go on a date night. In the meantime, Hoseok tells Devi that he will tickle him every time he has a bad thought.

After their concerts, Devi returns to Seoul with the group. Things get complicated when Yoongi finds out that Taehyung asked Hoseok if he'd be interested in a threesome with him and Devi. Devi gets more confused about his feelings for Hoseok, but Jungkook helps untie the knots in his brain, and he comes to terms that he's sexually attracted to Hosoek.

A few days after being home, it's announced that they'll be taking a short vacation. It turns out to be a villa in the mountains to get away from the city for a while. While there, Taehyung and Devi fool around in the cold rain, and Devi gets sick, causing them to end their trip early and return to Seoul.

Once he's cleared for travel, Devi travels to Japan with the group and meets up with Amiyah at the hotel, who then takes over caring for Devi while he's sick. After he's better, Devi spontaneously decides to dye his hair for the first time, and Amiyah helps him. Afterwards, they rush to the concert venue just in time to make it before the concert.

BTS presents Devi with his own special microphone, celebrating his official status as ARMY Envoy. Devi then joins BTS on stage for *Magic Shop*.

### After the Events of Strings

Sometime between October 29, 2019, and April 25, 2020, Devi and Taehyung get married. Devi also gets "뷔" tattooed on him, "V" in Hangul.

**During the events of *Your Secrets Safe with Me*:**

Devi is waiting for Taehyung at the idol's private apartment. When he arrives, he's brought Hoseok with him. They have a final discussion about what they're going to do before ultimately deciding to go through with their threesome. The three of them agree to tell no one about what transpired.

**During the events of *Your Secrets Safe with Me 2*:**

Devi is sitting in the living room of BTS's shared apartment working on paper butterflies for his upcoming BTS Cafe when Hoseok comes to bother him. They kiss, and Devi decides to take things to his and Taehyung's room, and Taehyung agrees to another threesome. They're not as quiet as they think they are, and Yoongi catches Taehyung in the kitchen to scold him about it. Devi comes to Taehyung's defence, but before things sour any further, Jin intervenes. They talk things out and promise to tell the rest of the group when they return home.
