**Appearance**

 **Faceclaim** |  | tanner buchanan

kian tends to blend into the background, which is ironic given his metamorphmagus abilities. he never uses these powers to do wild things with his appearance. in fact, he hates dressing in loud colors and prefers looking plain so that he does not have to stand out. kian is not one for having the attention focused on him. still, in an effort to maintain his family's image, generally look presentable, and not be a total disappointment fashion-wise to his boyfriend, kian *does* put effort into looking well put together. again, kian doesn't use his metamorphmagus talents to do anything outlandish, but the color of his eyes (and occasionally his hair) tend to change with his mood if he's not making a conscious effort to keep it under control.

**History**

the eliades family has a long and arduous history that even kian himself is not entirely sure he follows. what is important is that his mother, celaena, met his father, treston, at an england vs. greece quidditch game cel had been taking her younger sister malia to. the two dated for a *long* time and the relationship survived even the tragedy of the eliades family, which left celaena on her own. despite the obviously heavy toll it took on her, celaena eventually began to heal from the painful loss that she suffered, with treston's support of course. as she improved, she continued to go up the hierarchy at the academy, becoming history of magic professor and eventually becoming chair of the history department at the academy and deputy headmistress. the two also married around this point in time.

 in 2026, she was offered a promotion to headmistress of the academy following the retirement of her would-be predecessor, and for the 14 years that followed, she was an exemplary headmistress. she brought change to the academy. for his part, trenton wound up in charge of the embassy. while it wasn’t as “good” of a job as cel’s, it did allow him a better schedule for when they started having kids in 2030, less than a year after getting married. first came twin girls aven and demetra, followed under a year later by twins kian and delphine-mellis. celaena eventually left her post as headmistress to become the minister of education, and by the time kian was entering his first year, she was already minister of magic. the sudden upwards trajectory in her career left a strain on her relationship with treston, and by 2045, they were getting divorced. he returned to his home country of england, but still kept as close of a relationship with his kids as he could. kian is not very close to his father, but he isn't taking sides. very simply, he just prefers greece so that's where he spends most of his time.

unfortunately, though, celaena had plans to move the children to adeothorne so that they could spend more time in the uk with their father. this decision still baffles kian tremendously, but ultimately he knows that it's his parents' decision to make. they're the ones paying for his education, so it's fine.

besides, kian was glad to leave the academy. he would have survived until graduation but certainly he wouldn't have enjoyed it. he was not very well-liked in school but that was because when he was younger, he religiously listened to his mother whenever she would emphasize the importance of academics. he was a bit of a nerd that didn't get on very well with other people, and on top of that he was an easy target since he never told anyone he was being picked on. kian would really rather die than have his mother, the *minister and ex-headmistress* get involved in things.

kian transferred into adeothorne along with his sisters in his fifth year. he adjusted very well and that is in large part due to the ability to have a completely fresh start. kian also learned how to get along with people more easily, though that might have been a consequence of falling for elouan pendragon and trying to get all of elouan's friends to like him. in the process, he found himself a handful of people to spend his time with, including, most notably, chrysanthemum, kian's favorite of all of elouan's friends.

he is still unsure until now regarding how he was able to reach this point, but somehow elouan fell for him as well and the two of them confessed their feelings during their sixth year morp hop. now, the two of them are dating, and kian has also found a group of friends he genuinely and always enjoys being around (not that he would ever admit this), so sixth year is off to a great start.

**Personality**

(+): levelheaded, dutiful, trustworthy(-): vengeful, cunning, easily annoyedever since he was younger, kian had a reputation for being the responsible sibling and while that's a title he holds with pride, he couldn't help but feel exceedingly unremarkable especially in comparison to mel. even when he was younger, his metamorphmagus abilities took a bit longer to manifest than his sister's – something that caused him a lot of grief. he was seven the first time he got so sad that his skin took on a sickly pale color and his usual blond hair turned pitch black. in retrospect, his being a late bloomer may have just been because kian has always had such a strong grip on his emotions and is used to keeping them contained. it's probably because of this his first magical incident came a bit late as well; at ten, kian didn't have the energy to do his chores and his room began to simply just fix itself and put everything back into place.all that being said, kian is extremely levelheaded and logical. he doesn't mix well with theatrics (unless it's his boyfriend's theatrics, which he finds endearing... a true testament of his love) and prefers to take a step back from most stressful situations to carefully evaluate them rather than lose his head immediately. because of this, kian always finds himself in positions of responsibility despite having no real desire to be there. or so he thinks. truth be told, he enjoys leadership roles and likes being the one who knows everything that's going on and deciding how things play out – but pretends that he's accepting these roles out of obligation rather than genuine desire as he fears the latter would imply that he thinks he's more important than he actually is.kian would not say that he has low self-esteem but he views himself as mundane in comparison to those around him. his sister demi, his friends, and his boyfriend have done a lot to get it through to him that he is just as special and important, so this mentality is slowly being washed away. in fact, when he was younger he had already resigned himself to possibly pursuing politics but now that he is approaching graduation, he is seriously considering marine magizoology, an indicator of how far his confidence has come.apart form kian's good qualities, he can be rather vengeful and he holds grudges often (and especially on behalf of those who are important to him). growing up, kian saw himself as defined by his relationships with his more interesting loved ones. he's grown to realize that this isn't the case, but that realization has done nothing to dull how intensely he is willing to stand by his friends occasionally to the point of vindictiveness. it's fine. on the flip side, his ties with other people also make him want to be a better person, and are what inspire him to continuously improve himself.
