BIO

 

Keel was transformed from a skeleton and had always felt the pressure to hold onto whatever part of her was that dead bird, though she never actually felt any connection. For years she'd felt poorly about her identity and her past, not actually trying to build an identity for herself, until she hitchhiked in a researcher's backpack and discovered all the cool antics that human scientists get up to. These days, she still likes to wander aimlessly.

​

APPEARANCE

 

Keel's appearance and size are variable. In her small form, she's about the size of a guinea pig and in her tall form she's about human sized, but during unstable moments of contortion she can warp her body to much larger sizes. These don't last long, though. Her body is clear and her bones are visible, either in a natural color or bright pink and blue depending on if her elemental is activated or not. If it is, she sports a selection of red alga on her leg, and if it isn't she uses green and brown species.

BACKSTORY

 

Keel was once the skeleton of a stilt. In life the bones carried a bird that lived a good life, but Keel's creator, Lad, wanted to give thanks to one of the birds he knew in his old life. But, after returning from a long journey, he found the bird not only dead but reduced to a skeleton. He'd always wanted to give thanks to the bird in the form of a transformation, but he was too late. He figured he'd might as well try just in case the bird's ghost lingered around the bones, but he just turned out to have created a new spirit entirely.
