Character name: Kanaya Maryam
Age: 16 in human years.
Canon: Homestuck
Canonpoint: A6A6I2 - Before John retcons the Alpha timeline
Background: http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Kanaya_Maryam
Personality:
When Kanaya is first introduced we quickly find out what her friend likes to call her: Fussyfangs. Because she really does epitomize that name. Much of her life is built around how much Kanaya fusses over people, clothes, and plants.
Even if troll romance is weird, there’s plenty of human insights to be made when it comes to Kanaya and other people. In the beginning she has a romantic crush on Vriska, but Vriska really hates Tavros. And yet because of her own selfless nature she intercedes between the other two to keep them from hating each other too much, even though it ends up turning Vriska against her. That’s what Kanaya does, she selflessly gives up her own chance at romance to see two of her friends not kill each other. She feels she has to help these people, like it is her duty, thinking that if she doesn’t, who will?
Buying into her whole selfless motif, Kanaya has known from an early age that she was destined to be the mother of the Troll race after it was destroyed by playing a videogame with her friends. Her lusus, or parent (basically) was a Mother Grub, who told her before it died that she would need to rebuild her race. It was something she promised her lusus she would do, perhaps what made her grow up into someone who enjoyed creating things from fabric, and tending her gardens around her hive.
While she may seem a quiet and caring girl...she is prone to acts of bloodshed as well. She takes a chainsaw to her own lusus, knowing it was the creature’s time, showing no remorse as she cut it open. Another time she uses the same chainsaw to tear her friend’s torso from his legs, so that the legs could be replaced with robot ones. She isn’t much bothered by it, knowing she has just as much rage as any other Troll, but she likes to keep it contained as best as possible, only ever flipping out when she was killed, forced to come back as an
undead vampire, and slicing the person who killed her in two.
Kanaya can be self-serving and even proactive at times too, when she feels her patience wearing thin. She has told Vriska to knock it off before, and has sworn revenge for a while on Gamzee, who had murdered some of her friends but went to hide on the meteor they were all stuck on.
When it comes to interacting with others, as we see in her logs with other people, Kanaya is usually very serious. Her type quirk is with A Capital Letter At The Start Of Every Word that makes her appear thoughtful and articulate. When in groups she tends not to speak much at all, allowing others to take center stage. Not that she doesn’t have confidence in herself, which she clearly does, just that she doesn’t want to bother anyone. At the same time, in logs with other people, we see her trying to be witty to impress Rose, making jokes to other people, but always so very wordy.
As a Troll, many human things still confuse her, and there’s no missing she is an alien. Lots of talk about movies or human customs is only likely to make her go quiet, as she simply doesn’t understand, but does not want to bother anyone to ask them what they mean when they are talking about things she hasn’t learned yet.
Aside from fashion and gardening, Kanaya likes to read. She is clearly a fan of terrible romantic vampire fiction, like her planet’s version of Twilight. She is only slightly embarrassed by her choice in literature, but it makes sense, given that fact that she becomes a rainbow drinker herself, or a vampire. At first she is uncomfortable with what she is, constantly glowing and being undead, but meeting her ancestor Porrim in a dream bubble, she learns how to control the power, as well as accepting more of herself, and what she wants to do in her future.
Trolls do not have sexual orientations, seen when Karkat asks John what he means by “homosexual”, but at the same time, Kanaya has a sole interest in women. She first has a crush on Vriska, but realizes that she will never be able to be with the other girl in a red sort of romance. Later on she spends three years with Rose and starts a relationship with her, though it is strained because of Rose’s new alcohol problem. During this time though we see an easily embarrassed and uncertain Kanaya, who is open about her romantic interests in Rose, but unsure of how to proceed with a relationship.
During this time, after talking to Porrim, and getting to know Rose better, Kanaya has tried to swear off her meddling in other’s romantic affairs, and focus more on herself. Basically, she’s trying to grow up, while in a game where lives are at stake, as well as multiple universes. She has begun to distrust people more easily, and even show contempt for some people, like when she meets Meenah and decides she is dangerous.
Wish: “I wish this all could have been avoided...”
By the time Kanaya got to make her wish, everything had gone horrible. Her girlfriend was an alcoholic, her best friends were dead, and two of her “friends” had been killed by her own hands. Everything had started going wrong even since they left their own session for the Human’s. In that moment of consciousness as she felt her body start to vaporize by the laser beam that had hit her, she thought only about how she wished she could have avoided this all happening.
Kanaya’s wish of course, has already been granted. John would later get unstuck in time, and would reset that timeline, instead of creating a new one, and would revert everything back to the time on the meteor where Vriska would live, and Rose wouldn’t become an alcoholic, and Terezi would solve her problems with her best friend Vriska around.
Her passive ability granted to her by the wish would be increasing the speed of herself and anyone near her. As the basis is in her wish of avoiding things, her buff would work best when running away or in dodging attacks.
Power: Plant manipulation. Or in essence, the ability to create, grow, nurture, and shape plants of all kinds. It would use much of her power to say grow a giant tree, but something like shaping a vine to use it to swing from would be much easier. Growing plants from nothing would be the hardest of all, but using already existing plants would be the least amount of magic.
Weapon: Makeupkind - Primarily the ability to turn lipstick into a deadly chainsaw, as was her ability before.
