Character Information
General
Canon Source: MSPA: Homestuck
Canon Format:clusterfuck webcomic
Character's Name:Kanaya Maryam
Character's Age: ~13 years old
Conditional: Kanaya is an alien hailing from an extremely violent, bloodthirsty culture. Violence and depravity were no strangers to her when she was even younger than she is now, though her own life passed mostly unscathed. The degenerate nature of the Port won't slow her down much, as such; it's more a sideways traverse from the conditions of home rather than an escalation of anything at all.
What form will your character's NV take? Her NV will take the form of her miniature lusussprite.
Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities:
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them?
Weapons: A classy tube of green/black lipstick which transforms into a chainsaw. OH, HOMESTUCK
History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: MSPA Wiki. This canon is nothing if not a clusterfuck, so if further clarification is required, I'll be happy to give it!
Point in Canon: After being killed by Eridan.
Character Personality: Kanaya is a bit of an odd duck amongst her culture and general, and amongst her friends. An inquisitive, intelligent and creative young woman, she's a rarity in both her social standing (determined by her blood color - trolls judge caste rank by the 'hemospectrum', with blood colors normally ranging from dark red to fuchsia) and in her interests. For one, Kanaya has jade green blood, a shade that places her in the middle of the social ranking in spite of the fact that jade-bloods are born so rarely that there has not been a single other incident of a jade-blood surviving to adulthood in all the hallowed annals of Alternian (troll) history. Of which there are thousands of years of records.
Her unique blood color provides her with several characteristics not possessed by other trolls, which have a pervasive influence over her life. For one thing, Kanaya can venture out under the Alternian sun, while most trolls are forced to be nocturnal, as they find the sun's glare impossible to endure. Alone amongst her peers Kanaya can traverse the daytime hours with ease, armed with her trusty chainsaw (which doubles as a tube of lipstick!) and protected by her lusus (a lusus is a usually formidable Alternian monster, which will protect and nurture a young troll as it grows into adulthood). With her ability to traverse the daylight and her taste for colorful outfits plus aesthetics in general (another rarity in troll culture - trolls think fashion is "stupid"), she's also an avid gardener and fashionista. She also enjoys reading stories about "rainbow drinkers", that is, undead trolls that stalk the daytime, drinking the blood of other trolls. IE, Alternian vampires. As such, she's an example of what Alternian society considers to be a "goth".
In a race generally made up of assholes, Kanaya is a comparatively kind girl. She often acts as a mediatior to her friends, smoothing over disputes and keeping an eye on the more dangerous people in her social circle. Troll romance is divided into four quadrants, only one of which we humans would recognize as healthy romantic love; two quadrants involve reproductive relationships, while the remaining two are what we would consider to be platonic. In Alternian society, finding viable sexual-romantic partners is a pressing concern, as those who can't provide genetic material will be culled; Kanaya is in sort of a tight spot in this regard, as most of her romantic interests don't reciprocate. She has a romantic crush on the troll Vriska, with whom she is engaged in one of the "pale" platonic relationships - they are moirails, or in other words, two trolls that make each other more functional in society. Vriska doesn't seem to return her feelings, although Kanaya does care about her deeply enough to suffer when Vriska doesn't notice the reality of Kanaya's feelings. This brings us to another point about Kanaya, though: she is to some degree coded as a lesbian, and though she's only about thirteen in human years she has a tendency to get little girl-crushes on female friends that she admires or covets.
Amongst her other friends, Kanaya is known as a meddler and a fusser, though she would only claim to have the best of intentions. Honestly, her intentions really are to the good, and she does want her friends to do well; however, there's an element of expedience in Kanaya too, not surprising considering the general character of her race. When her lusus dies, Kanaya quite calmly marks a lipstick line down her mother figures' side and then chainsaws her open to obtain the matriorb (an egg, in more common parlance, from which a mother grub - the organism that ensures the reproduction of the troll race - will hatch. Not all lusii have this organ; Kanaya's lusii is a virgin mother grub, who abdicated from breeding to raise her). Likewise, when her friend Tavros (who is paralyzed from the waist down) is taking a nap on the floor, Kanaya comes up and chainsaws his legs off so that they can be replaced with robotic prosthetics.
With her own personal drama going on, Kanaya tries to be a level and caring friend. She doesn't always succeed, though. She thinks she has all of her shit so together in comparison to everyone else, but really she doesn't - for instance, her expedient attitude towards amputating Tavros' legs was probably expedited by the fact that she wasn't too happy with Tavros (the object of Vriska's romantic affections) at the moment. This was even in spite of the fact that he was not interested in return. At her worst, Kanaya is reticent to the point of shooting herself in the foot, holds misplaced anger within herself rather than expressing it productively, all the while acting as if she's got all her ducks in a row.
She does try. Kanaya at her best is level-headed, an anchor, someone genuinely concerned for her friends. But she's also a girl learning about sarcasm and coming to enjoy the application of it, a girl who chainsawed a supposed friend who attracted the wrong romantic affections at the wrong time, a girl who adroitly fought her way through a really brutal game. She made plenty of mistakes, failed at things, and was killed by the weapon she forged and gifted her murderer with. She'd balk at meddling towards outright malevolent attentions, but it's just as they say: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Character Plans:
Appearance/PB: See her icons. Otherwise: a charming young troll girl! Roughly humanoid in form, but with dark grey skin, black lips, fangs, black hair, and two horns which begin a dark orange at the bases shading to a deep yellow at the tips. Kanaya's horns mimic the Virgo symbol in that one arcs smoothly up while the other has a hook at the tip. Two fangs protrude over her lower lip in a vampiric fashion. Her hair is worn short, in a cute bob.
