Your Character
Both you and Kade were orphaned at a young age about twenty years ago and adopted by a kind farmer. When asked, you don't speak much about the farmer but just say that it's been you and Kade for as long as you remember and that he is your "brother", your best friend, and your only family. You both lived above the bakery just off the town square. You enjoy listening to him recant one of his stories at the Dancing Pig Tavern in your hometown of Riverbend. If you decide to flirt with Mal, Kade is astonished. He explains to you what the term "kit" means and does not deny you your adventure with Scholar Vash and Nia. He always thought that he'd live life through books while you were the adventurer and the dreamer.

In Chapter 2, when Mal drops the Onyx Shard, Kade reaches to pick it up without gloves. The air around him warps and stretches and shadows wrap around him, sucking him into the void. Scholar Vash tells you that he is now in the Realm of Shadow, and you promise to yourself to find a way to free him and bring him back.

In Chapter 3, if you decide to socialize with Mal and Nia at the local tavern, you can choose to tell them a funny story about you and Kade. When you two were sixteen, you both came up with a crazy plan to get some wine off a traveling merchant. You got gray wigs and Kade got a fake mustache and you both pretended to be elderly wine connoisseurs. In the middle of it all, when you both were drunk, Kade's mustache fell off into his goblet, he fished it out and stuck it on the merchant's face. You laughed so hard that red wine came out of your nose.

In Chapter 7, during a round of campfire stories, you can choose to talk about the time you and Kade attempted to steal a pie. You mention that you both were ten and twelve years old, and you had dared Kade to steal the pie because you both were hungry. Unfortunately, it was an eel pie not an apple pie, and you were chased by an angry goose to the point that Kade tripped and fell and landed in the pie.

Nia Ellarious
Kade thinks Nia is a sweet, naive, ethereal Sugar cookie.
