Powers
» Speed Boost - Ability to dodge and run at supernatural speeds for short bursts.
» Portal Manipulation - As her wish is to avoid something (in this case being death) Kyuubey apparently decided that the best next thing would be to create a void instead. That is, being able to create portals in order to suck up enemies and projectiles and move around. The larger the hole the more magic it would take, and at best she can only take enemies out of the fight for a short period (like MMO crowd control).
While she can create singular portals that work as vacuums to suck things up, she can also create pairs that are linked together. So for instance she can take in projectiles and fire them back. Or she can use them selfishly, to use them as an escape route to avoid taking damage. The distance between portals are limited, as they wouldn’t be meant to be used as a means of actually travelling around.
» Giant Chainsaw - A finishing move. Summons a chainsaw the size of a small house and drops it on an enemy. Best against slow moving and large nightmares. She has very little control over it, as the size makes it impractical for anything other than dropping it and hoping for the best. Drains her own mana greatly with a single use.

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 seen, we are introduced to what Vriska likes to call her: Fussyfangs. It’s an apt nickname that seems to epitomize much of what Kanaya is. She fusses with people and their relationships going so far as extending to even in her hobbies with gardening and sewing (she is the only troll who cares about her own fashion sense, and has a plethora of outfits to prove it.) She nags and bugs people not because she wants to upset anyone, but because she cares. Sometimes she cares so much that she knows she’s helping others to her own detriment yet still finds herself unable to stop. Her overwhelming sense of duty to her friends and keeping everyone stable and intact is present even before the game begins. In the process she ends up hurting herself over and over until she learns to think more before she helps people.
Kanaya is clearly the mediator of her little group of friends, assuming that role less because she was asked and more because she pushed herself into it. Everyone comes to her for advice on romance, and she always tries to get in the middle even when at best she isn’t good at it and at worst she ruins her own chances at love. Notably she helps Vriska and Tavros by auspisticizing for them, even though she likes Vriska herself. When she ends up seeing the two of them kissing it kills her, despite the fact that she played a role in that happening to begin with.
In her eyes, dealing with the other trolls and keeping everyone focused and working together is her responsibility. Part of that comes from being the Jade blooded troll of the group, whose duty in Troll culture is to ensure the race continues on. That duty extends to maintaining peace in the group, which horribly fails when you consider everyone begins killing each other. This extends into one of her bigger flaws being her desire to fix things in the group and ultimately her inability to keep most of them from fighting weighs down on her greatly.
For Kanaya, one of her greatest traits and equally greatest flaw is that she wears her heart on her sleeve and it’s easy to tell what she feels before she even says it. This can at times be good, because it makes her easily empathetic to others problems, but it normally sets her back more than helps her emotionally. Deception is not her strong suit, to the point where she is woefully inadequate in hiding that fact, and it’s obvious to everyone that she loves Vriska without her speaking it because of this. Her inability to separate emotion from action causes her to take setbacks hard, unable to let things roll off her shoulders because she is incredibly self-critical of herself. When others fail she is disappointed but forgiving. When she fails, she is incapable of letting go of the fact and will do anything to fix things.
While Kanaya can have a “get-things-done” attitude, another flaw is that she’s something of a pushover. When it comes to Vriska especially, though even when creating the Genesis Frog with Karkat she allowed him to steamroll the process, despite not feeling comfortable with his rushing attitude on it. This ends up being one of the reasons their session ends in failure, and thus she blames herself. She’s a follower and not a leader and she is usually happy to support Karkat as the leader. She encourages her teammates to do better although she doesn’t want to take on a great role of importance apart from her cultural one and being the mediator to keep things calm. She does what people ask of her, and more than that, she does what people don’t ask of her, because if she sees inaction occurring on something that needs to be done she will take it upon herself to get things done. Even in group situations she’s more of a quiet type than usual, letting others talk and only piping in when she has something to contribute.
Even with taking on only two responsibilities (though major ones nonetheless) she often doubts her own capabilities, despite trying her hardest. Often she is more prone to becoming upset and sullen. There are also times where she is devastated to the point of anger. One such instance is when Eridan destroys the Matriorb - the egg that would hatch new troll life - and she outright attacks him because it is a betrayal to her own efforts to help him and effectively dooms the race she was entrusted to save.
Sense of duty is what drives Kanaya ultimately. She believes she is supposed to bring back the Troll race from extinction with the Matriorb her Lusus left her, and once they are on the meteor heading to the new human session she expresses feeling lost and inadequate in her failings due to Eridan destroying it. She clings to Rose for direction, as the person she loves and as someone who she feels is incredibly wise from their online interactions alone. While Karkat and Terezi are talking about their issues with Gamzee, she is actively trying to find him on meteor because she believes no one else is willing to stop him despite him murdering their friends and hiding the corpses. She doesn’t blame Karkat and Terezi for their inaction because she knows their feelings are complicated. She is assured in her own opinion that he’s a psychotic clown asshole deciding something has to be done. Perhaps it’s one of the few things she is certain of when the three year meteor journey begins. Duty is important to Kanaya, perhaps more than anything else, because without having something to be dedicated to she isn’t sure what she should do with her life.
At first glance, Kanaya is literal and serious in her correspondence with the humans, looking down on them as the other trolls seem to do. She is quicker to befriend them than the other trolls though and is willing to learn from them, taking a great deal of sarcasm lessons from Rose and emulating it back to her, as a way of getting to know her. She can even act silly at times, though her self-consciousness makes it difficult to keep any such silliness up for long stretches of time before she admits to the overall stupidity of it.
Kanaya’s biggest weakness is likely that she has low self-confidence. She looks to people who are more outgoing and personable as being better than her. She looks up to Vriska at first, and even Feferi, because of their strong personalities and self-assured attitudes that she desires for herself. After the loss of the Matriorb truly hits her emotionally, she deems it to be her fault and her self-confidence hits an all time low. It’s made all the worse when Rose falls into alcoholism during their time on the meteor, and she has to take care of her girlfriend while also wallowing in the guilt of their race being perpetually doomed now. And on some level Kanaya blames herself for not knowing how to handle Rose’s substance abuse. She kept those feelings to herself for a long time, until she blew up on Rose and even assaulted the Mayor’s Can town in her anger.
As things have gone more and more sour, Kanaya has lost some of her more playful nature and tends to be the more serious member of the meteor group as opposed to characters like Rose and Terezi. Part of this shift can be attributed to being murdered by Eridan and reviving as a Rainbow Drinker, a type of vampiric troll that feeds off blood, as she doesn’t want to waste her second chance the way she did her first. Her first action as a Rainbow Drinker was to kill Eridan, kick Gamzee off a cliff and punch Vriska when the three of them were planning to get into a huge fight. While becoming a Rainbow Drinker has not caused major changes to her personality, she is certainly not as patient as she was pre-transformation and is more protective of others safety in general. She’s more snippy than before when she sees something she doesn’t like and is either unable to, or unwilling to, hold back her temper. She attacks Meenah when she first meets her, is unwilling to forgive Gamzee the way Karkat has, and blows up at Rose so loudly that the other girl thinks they’re breaking up. She comes off as frustrated with things, even going so far as shutting out people who make things difficult for her, trying to just focus on the minor things she can do. To her being able to do at least those things makes her feel worthwhile to the group, after losing such a major sense of purpose with the destruction of the Matriorb.
Wish: “I wish this all could have been avoided...”
In her last moments of life, Kanaya could only think back on the last few years and how everything had been going wrong. It was impossible to see the upsides to it all, as she died with so much left undone and unsaid. Rose still had her drinking problem, most of her friends were dead, some by her own hand, and it looked like they were going to lose everything... So she made a wish in the hopes of things going differently, from avoiding whatever brought them to this path where it seemed like there was no way in winning the game they were forced to play.
Her heart was nearly broken by Rose’s alcoholism and seeming indifference to the promise she made to Kanaya, she had failed to protect the Matriorb, and Gamzee who she had tried to kill earlier had come back to be a thorn in their side yet again. She blamed herself for much of what went wrong, not being strong enough, not being fast enough, not being smart enough. She regrets everything that’s happened, and wishes for a different outcome, a different future where everything wasn’t such a complete mess.
Unbeknownst to her, Kanaya’s wish has already been granted. John would later get unstuck in time, and would reset that timeline, instead of creating a new one. He retcons important events resetting the timeline back to when Vriska and Terezi fight on the meteor. Much of the problems that lead Kanaya to being so down on herself end up changing. Rose isn’t an alcoholic, and she eventually gets the Matriorb back from Roxy. Things turn for the better for her in general with the new changes, avoiding the pain and death of the Game Over timeline.
This wish is selfish in nature, because it’s her own life that Kanaya is thinking of, as she dies. And as a selfish wish, Kanaya wishes to avoid the pain and the difficulties that lead to her death, her wish ends up granting her the ability to avoid things. Her power is such that it makes her much better at dodging projectiles and basic attacks. It only lasts for a short time, and it strains her magic reserves immensely to use though, making it more of a life saving ace-in-the-hole type ability.
Power: Portal Manipulation. As her wish is to avoid something (in this case being death) Kyuubey apparently decided that the best next thing would be to create a void instead. That is, being able to create portals in order to suck up enemies and projectiles and move around. The larger the hole the more magic it would take, and at best she can only take enemies out of the fight for a short period (like MMO crowd control).

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.

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.
