Bio:
Kel doesn’t have many memories of his family or even what their parents look like. After discovering they had pyrokinesis he was immediately dropped off at an orphanage. Kel’s feelings of fear and sadness caused them to often lose control of their powers. Worried they might hurt someone in the orphanage he ran away, but he still left many burnt forests and buildings in their wake. As a teenager they tried their best to lay low. They took up many odd jobs, some of which he was reluctant to do. Desperate to get by, they agreed to do the dirty work for many high profile figures. Kel crashed on his friends’ couches throughout their teens until he began feeling like a burden and left. After making enough money, he travelled to different countries looking for their siblings. Kel also found a place to plant their roots while searching and stayed at Xavier’s School where he eventually reunited with their siblings. It was at the school where Kel was able to rebuild their life. He now has full control of his powers and they work as a dance instructor.
Personality:
Kel can be described as eccentric or chaotic depending on who you ask. They change their hair color and look depending on his mood. He has no problem making friends, and is very talkative, but this also makes them feel like they’re “too much” at times. Most of the time Kel has a very laid back attitude and will say yes to any opportunity to have fun. If they overthink or start feeling sad then they take time to themselves, and return feeling happy again after a bit of time has passed. Though they have many insecurities and anxieties Kel carries themselves confidently and can sometimes come off egotistical. Kel cares for his friends very much before reuniting with their siblings they were his family. They will do anything to protect the people they care about.

what's always been your favorite part of dancing? least favorite?
My favorite part is it gives me a place to express myself and expend all my extra energy lol and the least, probably when I get in my head or get stuck on choreo ideas or the back pain.
