*"I can't take you with me to middle school, I'm a big girl now," - To Talia, circa 2009 before Graelenncia fell.*

*"You are nothing more than a distraction. I decree that you, and all others who dare step in my way henceforth be dealt with appropriately. Take them away!" - To the Tsurugi Triplets, decreeing their imprisonment circa 2019.*

*"I've been with you all of this time, watching you laugh and having fun with you. You've made everything in my life including my struggles worth it, I want to not only be part of your life - I want to be part of you. I want us to become one. You complete me completely and totally. Will you marry me?" - Kendra's proposal to her suitor, before perma-switching with Kodachi Tsurugi.*

**Kendra** was one of the founders of the Graelenncia Collective and identified with the body and its name. She was once an almost equal part of her collective with Talia and a handful of other friends, but when their collective ability to cope was far exceeded by one too many incidents over the years, Graelenncia fell. Along with the fall, the Graelenncia Collective disbanded.

## History

### Graelenncia Collective

It is unknown when Kendra emerged, but what was confirmed was the meeting between her and Talia; they met in a dense forest under protector and protectorate terms, putting the actual battle from the nightmares Kendra faced and Talia defended her from lightly. The two became fast friends, but her protectorate thought of the feline as just an imaginary friend or an aspect of her weird personality. Along the way, she would meet familiar faces sourced by the various TV shows she watched externally and new faces that spawned just when she needed them. She was almost an equal to her friends, that being that she shaped reality and used it to her whim, and the others resigned themselves to their roles to keep her happy when school life and family life brought her down.

When unspecified medical problems came to a head, Kendra, overcome with trauma and a desire to fit in with others her age, discarded her world and the others in it over the years, not realizing the circumstances of the others' existence. In a desire to ensure she would be able to grow up as she saw fit, she attempted to take Talia down with her, where the cat would remain dormant for 14 years.

### The Kingdom of Etheridge

Found by who are now known as Lumi, the heart of the duo, and Zephyra, the protector with a hard shell, she finds herself in a new continent named Etheridge. Around this time, she rises to power as the new Queen after usurping an NPC that was responsible for looking out for his land and people, and recruits Lumi and Zeph as loyal members of Her Cabinet, if not for the fact that she could manipulate them to be her frontrunners - people who operate in the external world in lieu of Her presence, for She was too injured from previous trauma and the Fall, but subsequently had no recollection of Graelenncia or even Talia when the transition from primary school and middle school took place.

As Zeph and Lumi handled what was left of middle school, new faces began to show up; Ledger was recruited from the need to pass classes when graduation loomed, while Phoenix was recruited as a happy-go-lucky half human, half feline being. There were familiar and original faces beside Her throne, and around the end of high school was when she fronted more often again.

Consensus believes that Zeph was the one who walked across the stage that fateful day, receiving the group's Diploma in 2017.

#### Meeting Kodachi (2018)

The monarch found comfort in a new anime that she found during the school year, but set to put it off until after graduation as a reward for getting through the year. When she finally got around to it and watched through the series, hers and Zeph's deep love for cars led to heartbreak by the end of the series. Seeing to it that she'd give the subject of her adoration a better life, she sought to it to source it to Her world. When she found out She couldn't source the AE86 from the show forcefully, she abandoned the physical, non-sentient presence and left it to Zeph to dispose of.

Zeph, using a forbidden technique to restore life, ended up dissolving the Badge into a mystical liquid that, when drank, would cause a rebirth. Seeking out a peaceful place that a child can be raised without being bombarded by royal responsibilities and external obligations so soon in life, she found a random couple in Garmsby Village that struggled for years to have children. The story could be confusing without context of how strong the time differences are between Earth and Etheridge - for example, it's a widely known and confirmed consensus that the Tsurugi triplets were born in February 2018, but externally, it might have been between September and November when their birth took place.

Later in February of 2018, Kodachi and Kendra met proper, when the Trueno was around 3 years old. To Kendra, Kodachi and her siblings aged rapidly from babies to adolescents in a matter of months, but to them, it felt like (and was) 16 years worth of growing up and experiences. When the triplets were 16, Kodachi was recruited by Queen Kendra to become part of her Cabinet (but mostly because she wanted to have the subject of her adoration all to herself), but begrudgingly recruited her siblings and parents as she figured she didn't want to have her castle destroyed by Kodachi's earth shattering temper tantrums.

### Imprisonment of the Tsurugis

By June of 2019, Kendra found new life in a suitor in another state. He was reportedly jobless, couldn't eat because of bodily issues, had an abusive family, couldn't drive, and just in general stuck in his life, much like she was - but She could help, She thought. In being swooned by her new lover, she quickly banished everyone except for a descendant of Zeph's, Nenon, her rather violent second hand protector. Any semblance of her personality that she had gained over the last couple of years by that point had been sacrificed in order to fulfill one mission: to save her suitor. She would cry when he did, be overcome with anger when he did, be utterly happy when he was, and so on. Not once did she dare speak up in direct opposition, and the few times she did, she quickly apologized for making him cry.

She waited on him hand and foot, ready to give comfort and advice to his every complaint, quickly turning from a girlfriend into a doting mother who wanted the best for her son to the point of erasing boundaries and giving up her identity. She sat on her throne all day, eating nothing but unhealthy loads of quick meals, and had a low frustration tolerance to the point where she'd throw a tantrum over literal spilled milk. Although she thought of trying to find work, she did anything and everything to stay with the man of her dreams since she didn't have any of her own for years.

Except for meeting him face to face, living with him, and taking care of their home for all time. Like they always wanted.

Kodachi, fed up with Her declining health and identity erasure, got an audience with Queen Kendra surrounded by her family and the rest of the Cabinet. She put together a speech, a plea, backed by her allies, begging her to look at the damage she has caused to herself and how far gone she would be if she kept going down this path. By the end, Queen Kendra decreed that the siblings be locked away, as well as any other conspirators as she boasted her unstoppable will - that her identity was safe and sound despite the obvious, and not only that, but she found no need for a continent that might turn against her and stop her from her desires. She also put the triplets' parents on death row to serve as an example to her people and Cabinet.

Overcome with terror and grief, Kodachi destroyed the throne room and took out a wide number of guards, but couldn't prevail against an overwhelming amount of restraints as she and her family were separated and spirited away to the dungeon.

### Rebellion, Final Battle, and Death

In the Winter of 2020, Zeph broke Kodachi out of her dormancy that she entered into whilst in her cell, and staged a jailbreak that also freed Makibishi Tsurugi. Because of Kendra's deep involvement with her suitor, she had never noticed the jailbreak and anybody who could have notified her were either killed in self defense or converted to the side of the rebellion covertly. While Chokuto, his sisters, their freed parents, and Zeph planned and recruited in the background thanks to the help of specialized privacy barriers, Kendra was in the thick of the relationship.

Not much is known about this time leading up to the Summer of 2020, except for the final battle in which she engaged with Kodachi.

*"Do you really think you're anywhere close to taking my throne with that weak soul of yours? You're just a doll, a puppet, a mask - you're a total joke. As long as I'm alive, absolutely nothing can stop me from discarding this world and your kind. Strange, it feels like something like this has happened before. ....I'll kill you and make you an example to everyone!"*

"*I'm taking that throne and destroying it. I don't know what you've been put through, but I've seen your world and it can be beautiful too, and I want to experience it just like you, Zeph, and Ledger did, but better. If you think you're going to squander your one life on Earth and bring ours down with you, you've got another thing coming. ....I'll do anything to free us!"*

After an arduous battle involving property damage, drained mana, critical damage to both Kendra and Kodachi, the latter was brought down to the verge of Badging where it breaking would signify the very end of the world with no one else to stop her. In a desperate attempt of self defense, Kodachi put all of her horsepower into leaping forward and impaling her assailant with one of her blades. She is survived by a new collective, who operate to preserve history to keep it from being repeated, and have sworn to make the most out of their new lease on life.

## Personality

As a child, Kendra was conscientious and charitable, and loved to learn from her teachers and life. She treasured her friends even though they put her in harm's way more than once, and adored most of her family since even she felt aversive to those she lived with. She was slow to accept change, but embraced it eventually. She spent her time in the school library reading about an array of topics and would check books out by the stack every chance she would get. Her favorite topic to read about was space, animals, and technology.

She was easily confused by the world around her, yet highly impressionable and did everything in her power to please as many people as possible despite being made fun of and corrected at every turn. One could say that she had a very dreamy personality with her head in the clouds, without a desire or the ability to come back to earth without extra help. In high stress situations, she would become disoriented and lost. She had a desire to make friends and play with the other kids, but for some reason, others avoided her at every turn. She was a highly anxious soul, but found respite in gaming as well as books. She had aspirations to enter the dental field and become a dental assistant like her hero; her mother.

Deep down was *already* a child who was resentful of the cards she was dealt. She turned to becoming mean to the other children after a certain point, especially if they picked on her first, cementing herself as a bully as well as a victim of bullying. Although she desired to become closer to her family, she was burned at every turn since they weren't emotionally present nor did they care about her dreams after a certain point. Although she had a close relationship to her mother, even she felt betrayed by her when she consented on the child's behalf to a procedure she didn't want to save her from a physical illness. Although it was done with the purest of intentions, a nine year old child is not going to understand most of the things she went through. Although Kendra's betrayal is taken as a sudden 180, it was actually a slow buildup over the course of *years.* Having felt betrayed by the Graelenncia Collective for not protecting her up until this point, she gets fed up with never feeling in control of her life, and being rendered naive to every little thing in the world.

It is *because* of a cumulative build up of resentment towards every friend that turned out to be fake and her household family members, the collective's failure to protect, keep informed, and communicate to her that she came to the realization that she preferred control over being an equal, and thus destroyed Graelenncia and murdered (most of) her collective and the continent's inhabitants when she burned it all down to try again.

As an adolescent, any pretense of becoming a dental assistant were thrown away as she explored other avenues for careers and dreams through Lumi and Zeph as they collected information about the world and matched them to personality and talents, but all of these dreams were looked down upon by authority figures and subsequently given up on. Not much of her personality otherwise is known at this stage in life, as she was hidden from the world by her protectors. Her relationship with her mother was forever marred and further rendered irreparable as the growing pains of adolescence took their toll, and while the bullying took a drastic decrease from both ends in middle school, there was a certain exclusion that persisted from 6th grade onwards. Due to how relatively quiet and present of mind she was, she explored the world through Zeph and Lumi; she was convinced that they were her, and in turn, convinced them that they were Her *and* each other.

In adulthood, her desire to mean something to someone came to a head when she met her suitor. At this stage, she has become a far cry from her child self; a dictator who wasn't afraid to dictate how long someone stayed in her Cabinet before execution, decreeing anything she wanted at any point for the benefit of herself. She became selfish and goal oriented, her subjects of adoration changing frequently if they wronged her even the lightest amount. She was shown to be grossly entitled and clung to her boyfriend's presence like her life depended on it. She was power hungry and sought to control everything that she could, using anything at her fingertips to get her way whenever she could. Up until the very end, she only fought to protect her desires and way of being, and in the very end, considered Kodachi to be an arch nemesis simply because she disagreed with her ideology.

## Relationships

### Graelenncia Collective

#### Talia Annemieke

"She's super smart and very cute! I always wanted a cat. She always knows what to say." - 2007

"This is where we part ways. I can't take you to middle school." - 2009

Their friendship started when Talia saved her from a nightmare energy attack in 2005 and brought her home to heal her injuries. Kendra shared her story of not knowing where she came from, and finding herself lost in the forest was the only thing she knew about herself, along with her name. Talia, overcome by a sense of duty, proposed that Kendra go on a journey of identity and see if she can recover her memories. With a talking, walking, fluffy, encyclopedia by her side, Kendra was able to journey region to region in the hunt for her memories. What she didn't know was that Talia had some degree of power over it to keep her safe. The nature of the shows they watched and the books they read in the alternate world together lent Graelenncia a "playground" feel to it, fit for a child.

Talia and Kendra's protector/protectorate relationship didn't come without its obstacles, however. The human girl found herself more often than not restricted by the cat's objections to her ideas, citing them to be "unsafe" or "just not a good idea" in general. Keeping her safe from bullying, getting in trouble at home, and other forms of embarrassment were largely averted until later members joined their adventures.

Major barriers that outright stopped, and even killed their friendship, included Talia's habit of keeping secrets to protect Kendra as well as refusing to let her ravage the world and try again. Another major barrier that presented itself that she didn't realize until facing the business end of getting sealed away was that there were identity barriers keeping Kendra from hearing her voice, feeling her presence, or even knowing she was a different person altogether. She was seen as an imaginary friend, which led Kendra to say that she "couldn't take her and the others to middle school" when that summer came to a close.

#### Daisy Plesca

"I wish she talked so I can hear her laugh and her jokes, because she looks like she has a lot to say." - 2007

"I wish you and I talked more. At least I won't hear you cry out if I hurt you, which I might do if you don't stay out of my way." - 2009

At first, Kendra was against the idea of taking in the young half-reptilian girl, seeing that she and her team were in no position to take care of her or take her from her village of Coryndum. Daisy, however, had her heart stolen by them early on - the only reason why she was able to join them was because she snuck away from home while they weren't looking. Deciding it was more trouble to take her back home, she was allowed to join for one adventure. One adventure became two years of traveling and growing together.

Kendra found Daisy to be a comedic genius when the two of them were growing up together. She was a source of laughter for tough times and a friend who knew how to comfort others in the collective, and because of their similarities, they played off of each other well when it came to their own brand of jokes and in every day conversation. Daisy was that one friend that could be counted on to give a shoulder to cry on, and she was a person who could make others, including Kendra, feel like they can do anything. The relationship between Daisy and Kendra was so strong that even when the world was being ravaged, and having evidence that it was her friend's doing, the plesiosaurus-human hybrid wanted the truth from only her friend's mouth - her loyalty was so strong that she'd choose the child over the world, even over her other friends when she considered them traitors.

Daisy's relationship with Kendra didn't help her survive her first and only stand against Her. While Daisy had combat prowess, she went noticeably easy on the child - interestingly, Kendra refused to use her full strength against the reptilian like she did with Chrysalis, Levin, and Talia, and yet still came out of it injured and victorious. Despite her growing resentment of the team, Kendra had a soft spot for Daisy, and even offered her a spot on her new team to rule the world together - it was only after she displayed her defiance and loyalty to the "traitors" that she was killed for her trouble after being deemed "just an imaginary friend."

#### Chrysalis Viola

"She's cooler than that cat. She doesn't abide by silly rules!" - Kendra, 2006

"You. You're responsible for my bad behavior. You did nothing to steer me away from being a bad girl. Everyone hates me because of *you.* I'm glad I'm not taking you with me." - Kendra, 2009

Kendra was instantly swooned by Chrysalis's love for risky activities, such as trespassing, defying the household's rules and orders, and using dishonesty to get her way even in situations where honesty would have worked better. The two of them were partners in crime and together, were immune to Talia's attempts to set them on the straight and narrow. While it's a miracle that the two of them were not put in any legal trouble for their actions, they also had a hard time understanding why the things they were doing were wrong in the first place. To them, it was about having fun, having freedom, and staying out of trouble that honesty *would've* gotten them in trouble for - they had a misconception: even if they were watched doing something they weren't supposed to, they believed that lying could change reality, and thus get them out of trouble, since to them, in their own words:

"Admission leads to big trouble!"

While this advice does carry some sense of truth in many legal situations, none of this applied to their situations. During Kendra's near death experience in an incident in 2009, she realized that getting in further trouble in middle school would carry heavier consequences, and unleashed a scathing speech toward the mischievous butterfly for not steering her away from trouble earlier, and for getting in her way. On top of that, she was an "imaginary friend" who "possessed" her in Kendra's eyes, unaware that it was her own naivete and ignorance that *contributed* to Chrysalis's behavior as well.

In the end, Kendra crushed Chrysalis's fighting spirit and stamped her life out to take control of her own life.

#### Sheldon and Scales

"They're cool, I guess. I like them." - Kendra, 2008

"I don't even know who they were. Their fate isn't of my concern." - Kendra, when asked about them in 2011. It's unclear if they were that insignificant to her, or if it was the effects of her losing her memories of her previous collective.

The three of them shared a polite relationship. Not much else is known about them except that they offered good advice and clung to the others in a physical and emotional manner - while one was a southern painted turtle and one was a bearded dragon, the two brothers acted more like twins than friends, and thus were considered brothers by each other, their friends, and even their families. The brothers and Kendra (and by extension, the brothers hadn't interacted with any member of the Graelenncia Collective) hadn't interacted since the continent was scourged, and were heavily encouraged to abandon the landmass and join those who were fleeing, as their small bodies and lack of combat prowess would've landed them in the same situation was Chrysalis, who lost her life by that point.

As a result of their fleeing, nobody knows where they currently are, or if they're still alive today.

#### Levin

"He's super cool! I like how smug he can be sometimes!" - Kendra, 2008

"He's from a bygone era of childishness, and proved himself to be a traitor. I don't need him." - Kendra, when remembering him in passing in 2010

The relationship between the two of them was close and respectful, even if Levin had a big shot personality and enough arrogance to make the group distance itself from him. She adored him at first, and was a huge fan of the source he came from, but she abandoned it and Levin when she was overcome by the goal to grow up and catch up with her peers at a chance to be liked by others, but rather than growing apart over years, she abandoned him and the group the moment she scoured Graelenncia when she came into her destructive powers.

The two of them had a showdown following Hans's death - Levin only survived because Talia saved him from a final blow, and carried on the battle in his stead. While he tried to enter the fight again, he was too damaged to carry on, and thus his only instruction was to flee. As it turned out later, Levin took on a new, permanent humanlike form when arriving to Etheridge to evade legal trouble when he was plotting with Kendra to overthrow the then-current monarch. Since she took over, he had gone missing for years.

Today, he has no agenda except for his own, and thus not a part of any collective or any side.

#### Hans

"I like him! He's really, really fun!" - Kendra, 2006

"He was a huge source of embarrassment. I fought with him over it and ended up using the pen he was using, and wouldn't you know it, my finger slipped and he's no longer with us. Can you blame me for trying to hide it? You would've been so sad!" - Kendra, admitting to murdering Hans during her final battle with Talia, 2009.

When the two of them were younger, Kendra had an infatuation with Hans, despite him being much older and him not returning those feelings. He was a physicist and studied the stars, inspiring an early love for astrology in the child. He was also a whizz at entertaining her with shadow and hand puppetry to keep her happy, but he contributed to a sense of embarrassment for her when it was later found out that the lack of inhibition found in childhood (and perhaps found mostly in neurodivergent children) meant that he was acting out these things in the external world, much to the judgement of other kids and adults.

Kendra began to prioritize her reputation over his life, and his death was actually the first that occurred before the scourge ever happened. According to her admission, she slashed his throat with his pen, and pushed him into a swimming pool, knowing he couldn't swim. She sought Chrysalis's help in covering up his murder, claiming that it was an accident - whether Chrysalis believed her or not was irrelevant, however, as she helped perpetuate the cover up to their friends and unknowingly get Kendra off the hook.

### Kendra's Cabinet

#### Lumi "Chris" Kivi

"So loyal, so obedient, so responsible and loving. The perfect ambassador for Moi." - Kendra, 2011

"You're just like all the others. You're lucky I can't just decree your life over - I have to do the damn thing myself. I thought you'd be different." - Kendra, 2019

Lumi and Kendra began their relationship on close terms - on one hand, there was a child who lost everything, and on the other was an arctic fowl who just wanted to give love and be loved. They raced against the clock to give her over to a hospital so that she can heal and be reunited with her parents, unaware that she had no guardians in Etheridge to turn to, unknowing of her exact origin. Lumi's selflessness led to them being tracked down and blackmailed into overthrowing the then-current monarchy at the threat of their home and friends - which was demonstrated as she used her destructive power to destroy an apartment building and asked if they'd like to see "more where that came from."

During Lumi's time in the Cabinet, their life became Her Majesty's - their name was changed from Lumi to Chris, and was forced to take on a female identity with a fake male identity layered on top of it for online security reasons. On top of that, they were forced to interact with the external world in only an online manner, and because of the nature of the embarrassment caused, it wasn't an executory offense or even worth punishing, given that their online friends wouldn't have a chance of interacting with them face to face. Lumi was one of two protectors who were tasked with guarding her from external world danger, and unintentionally contributed to her being a shut-in for years.

Their only interactions consisted of giving orders and receiving orders, and daily briefings. Queen Kendra, thanks to her subconsciously hidden motivations and loss of Graelenncia, didn't harbor a single ounce of trust for Lumi outside of knowing for sure that they wouldn't betray them, but even that trust was on shaky ground for years. Tired of this way of life, Lumi rebelled and thus found themself in the dungeon, which they escaped. Years down the line, they confront Her Majesty again and have a final stand against her, which ends with their apparent death to get her off their back.

#### Zeph "Sapphire" Tsurugi

"You lack direction, Sapphire, but your valiant efforts do not go unnoticed. There's no one else I'd rather have as my second in command." - Kendra, 2014

"You're just like the rest of them." - Kendra, 2019

Zeph and Kendra's relationship in the Cabinet was professional and cordial, if not confusing and enmeshing, as Her Majesty considered Zeph (called Sapphire at Her behest) to be not only her favorite, but her favorite "part of herself" as opposed to the others. In other circumstances, Queen Kendra would have kicked Zeph to the curb had it not been for her prowess in defending herself and others out of a desire for justice, even if that meant landing all of them into trouble multiple times a school year. Her Majesty recognized that the treatment they were given were disproportionate to their actions or lack thereof, and came from a place of ignorance - by the time graduation came and went, Queen Kendra remarked that Zeph was, in some ways, a lifesaver.

In 2019, her tune changed when she found out that Zeph had disobeyed a past order - destroy the Badge as it had been considered useless, which would have been excused if the rebirth had happened on castle grounds and she had been allowed to raise the child as her own. Instead, when faced with the possibility of a rebellion following Kodachi's plea, she turned her back on Zeph and ordered her execution, not realizing that the bird was an escape artist and remained missing up until the final battle.

### Kodachi Tsurugi

*"Well, this is different, a car. You're quite fun and energetic, something my Cabinet has been sorely lacking. How about you join me?" - Kendra, 2018*

*"Letting her in my life was a mistake." - Kendra, about Kodachi in 2019 when she decreed her imprisonment.*

*"After all I did for you, you dared to mock me in front of my staff and Cabinet with that embarrassing speech of yours. You're a disgrace. I plan on trashing a world you cannot save once and for all. You inspired a revolt with your words alone, and just when I had the thought of letting you go, you escape and collect a movement against me? Go spend its last days with your family while I marry my king." - Kendra's dying words, 2020.*

One of Kendra's most complex relationships was with Kodachi, a sentient drift car from her favorite source at the time. This was Kendra's first time working with someone who didn't live most of her life as part of her collective, meaning she had brought in a different perspective entirely, as well as her siblings. This was the only relationship that she had that actually felt enriching and humanizing for both parties, despite Kendra otherwise being a cruel dictator - even then, the humanization of Her Majesty allowed her a respite from her controlling methods, which brought on a small period of peace for the Cabinet.

This was until Kendra found her suitor in the alternate world, and all but abandoned Kodachi and was dehumanized by the codependent relationship with her boyfriend. Kendra, so engrossed with her boyfriend, isolated Kodachi from her friends and even locked her away when she pleaded her to come back to her senses. Kendra spent her final year in a codependent relationship and feeling animosity towards the drift car she once loved. In a deadly clash of ideologies in the summer of 2020, Kendra drew her final breath at the hand of Kodachi's accidental impalement. She felt disdain for her until her last.

### Ledger Quill

"His writing prowess is the best around. I'm sure you'll find his abilities to push beyond the bounds of what it means to just merely be satisfactory." - Kendra, 2016

Ledger and Kendra had a professional relationship when it came to him making her writing dreams a reality, aside from the fame side of things. His love for philosophical writing earned him critical acclaim among an online community from the same source his species is based on, and has received praise from Her Majesty. Kendra's love for stories encouraged him to keep writing, to the point of actively rewarding him for his results.

During the rebellion, she relied heavily on him for spreading propaganda to serve Her cause, and actively kept him safe as she saw him as her golden goose - she was shocked to find out that Ledger had gone on to face Chokuto on his own against Her orders, just so he could protect Her.

### Her Biological Family in General

#### Before 2009

While she didn't have a perfect relationship with everyone, she was a lot closer to her family. Her playful personality lent her the ability to be close to her cousins, as they played together during family gatherings and normal visits. She also cared about everyone in her family, being willing to go out of her way to help them and talk about her day. In general, she held her elders in high regard and her peers had a special place in her heart.

#### After 2009 until her Death in 2020

After 2009, the emotional wounds left behind on her heart persisted into middle school and beyond. She didn't realize it at the time, but between a wounded heart and with the help of Lumi's and Zeph's subconscious gatekeeping, the relationship between herself and her family took a 180. She only hung out with her family at gatherings and refused to talk about her days, and while she still retained some of that youthful playfulness with her cousins, it fizzled out by the end of middle school. There's also no doubt that the toll from experiencing one's teenage years also played a part.

## Abilities

*"You could just do it on your own, or I could just decree your actions for you."*

* **Absolute Destruction**: Her response to trauma was to wipe everything clean and start fresh, which may be why she lacked memories of the Graelenncia Collective and affiliating landmass as well as her friends. Her death destroyed her castle and some of Naxera, but all else was left untouched. This was because she was a native of Graelenncia, a continent embodied by an Ancient called *The Destructive One.* All those who are born on that land have a destructive prowess.
* **Authority Embodiment:** She was the Queen of Etheridge, after all.
* **Banishment**: Had the power to imprison others and put others into dormancy.
* **Caffeine Empowerment**: As an adolescent, she found coffee, which is natural given the lower dopamine levels the brain the world is powered with doesn't make a lot of dopamine. Inherited by all those who succeed her.
* **Decrement magic/reality bending**: Being the owner of the mind space and its properties, Kendra could simply decree something as true or done, and then it was. The only things she couldn't decree was the state of another life directly, as she had to alter it manually if she wanted results.
* **Literary Mastery**: A bookworm that enjoyed reading for fun and for homework and school tests; over the years, she had gained a vast amount of applicable knowledge on the same level of Talia, but was limited by her dislike for stories that involved other humans and didn't include illustrations.
* **Situational Speed**: Kendra was never an athlete or much of a runner growing up, but if you saw her running, *it was probably for a good reason.*
* **Fear Inducement**: For some reason growing up, the way others treated her either ranged from disgust, indifference, or with outright fear despite not doing anything according to anyone's memories. This also applied to her Cabinet.
* **Device/Tech Proficiency**: A quick learner of the rapidly developing technologies of her childhood, she learned how to use computers as far back as Windows XP. This is a trait that's passed down universally to all those who succeed her.
* **Game Mastery**: Quickly learned the rules, mechanics, and properties of video and board games; a trait motivated by her upbringing and experiences as well as being used to help her learn better if a book didn't have the answer. Passed down universally to all who succeed her.
* **Human Physiology**
