General Info

The first thing to know about Keelie is that you do NOT call her Keelie. As far as you’re concerned, her name is Key. The second thing to know is that she will likely come across as disinterested and rude. Shuffled around frequently throughout her childhood due to her parents (research scientists, astronomers to be specific- you would not believe the multitude of observatories that one just HAS to work at, apparently), Key isn’t so great at making a good first impression. By her logic, she never sticks around one place long enough for it to matter, so she shouldn’t put forth the effort. In fact, instead of going for ‘good first impression’, Key decided at an early age to shoot for ‘make any LASTING impression’, and thus adopted the habit of being incredibly blunt. Filters tend not to exist with this koala, unless she is specifically berated at a result. While such a childhood may have stunted her ability to form decent relationships, it did foster in her a distinct love of traveling, science, and, curiously, the arts of code-breaking, lock-picking, and just plain being sneaky (Hey, if your parents spent all day in locked-up laboratories, you’d be eager to figure out a way to sneak in and find out what was going on, too… or so Key claims). Her ability with codes and keys has begun to get noticed, and she has been offered jobs of the slightly criminal sort. Whether she accepts them is typically up to what she’s asked to steal, who she’s asked to steal from, and if she really needs the money at the time- she’s not above criminal acts, but she refuses to steal from anyone who would miss what they had.

Key isn’t opposed to making friends; she just really isn’t that good at in. In fact, it’s very likely that she’s out-and-out terrible at it, so she just doesn’t tend to try. But, if you earn her respect, she’s a good ally to have on your side, as she will defend anyone who actually gets her to like them. Once you’ve achieved that rare status, she’ll still be blunt, sarcastic, and somewhat rough around the edges, though- she really has no idea how a good friend behaves, and sometimes it’s difficult to tell if she likes you or not. However, in a group she cares about, Key cannot abide fights: she’ll do anything in her power to resolve the issue, acting as a mediator despite her typical reserved nature... even though her particular brand of alleviating tension tends to result in her being yelled at instead.

Practical to a fault, don’t be surprised if Key doesn’t get many jokes. Her sense of humor is remarkably strange and very dry- it’s hard to tell if she’s joking at all, when she’s in the mood to joke. She also tends to immediately take things seriously, provided they’re realistic. Tell her the sky is falling, and she’ll calmly explain why that isn’t possible, but tell her you feel like you’re dying of hunger and she’ll likely attempt to rush you to the hospital for malnutrition.

Ability Info

Key doesn’t seek out fights, as she tires out quickly, but if there’s a cause for it she’ll fight tooth and nail- literally. However, she’s a particularly good climber, and can scale almost anything provided she can find some form of foot and handholds. Similarly, she can unlock anything, given a bit of time and luck- spending a lot of time on her own led her to be very analytical and inquisitive, thus leading her to develop skills as a lock picker and code-breaker. In this vein, she can rapidly learn a variety of things, from how to drive a vehicle to how to use a weapon (not necessarily WELL, but she can figure it out, and that’s a start, isn’t it?)
