While on the topic of Mama Hawk Rhythmi, we also have another type of "Mama" in the person of Kellyn.

As explained before, Kellyn is the 2nd weakest member of the group. The only reason why he is stronger than Rhythmi is because he's a Ranger and her an Operator. He's also wouldn't hurt a fly, except when he goes into Berserk Mode, which is really rare. The only time that happened was when Keith and Fischl got ejected from the Altru Tower, so...

Anyway, as you can see, he doesn't really fit into the Mama Hawk archetype. What is he, then? Well...A Mama Dragon.

Kellyn is the Mom Friend in the group, always here to take care of them, may it be by pampering them, preparing some snacks or meals, comforting them...That kind of things.

He also knows that he can't protect his close persons by fighting with his fists, so he shields them with his body instead. He has always been a self-sacrificial person, and after Operation Brighton, it only got worse.

Just like Rhythmi, he has been so traumatized that the only way he found to cope with the trauma was to protect and take care of others. Thankfully, once adults, the extremism calmed down, and they became "regular" Mamas Hawk/Dragon.

If you can call them regular...

In other words, if Rhythmi's the fierce Mama Hawk ready to kill for her Rangers, Kellyn's the sweet Mama Dragon taking care of his close persons and ready to die for them.

Funny how the two of them started from the same level, right?

Unlike what others may think, Keith wasn't left unscathed from the Yellow Gem Mission. It's true that he likes to tell that he got over it, and only his pride got wounded, but....That's just a lie. A beautiful lie.

The simple mention of "Hippodown Temple" makes him lose his cool. And when he doesn't have a choice and needs to actually go there...He panics. He starts hyperventilating, his mind becomes a blurry mess, his heart pounds so loudly like it's about to explode...Add to that the painful memories of being kidnapped, manhandled, used as a bartering system that made the mission fail....And you get a huge panic attack in return.

When that happens, he doesn't respond to the world around him anymore and becomes somewhat violent if someone gets a little too close. Only a few people can try to calm him down without risking getting punched, but...Making him snap out of it is pretty difficult.

...Most of the time, he ends up crying himself to sleep or passing out because his brain can't cope with the trauma and guilt. And in those cases...Kellyn is the one taking care of him. Kellyn, whose mind is overflowing with rage and protectiveness. Kellyn, whose aura is different from the warm and shy one usually emanating from him.

Kellyn, who is about to let his Berserker side, take the matter into his own hands.

W-W-W-Whyyyyyy....? D-Darkkkk...Can'ttttt seeeeeeeee....!!!

The Moon is high in the sky...Darkness are everywhere...But, no need to be afraid. The night is the keeper of all secrets, afterall.

( What do you mean it's only the 4th?) No, seriously, I hate drawing perspective because I don' know how to draw it. Not as much than hands but eh! I can only hope it will become far more enjoyable in the future. T-T But, you know, it's only when you practice that you can improve! Anyway, there's Page 4 and Auntie's redesign. I headcanon her being the older sister of the MC's mother, so they have some similarities such as hair. Getting the color right was such a pain in the *ss. But, it looks good. Alright! No more complaining! See you next time!~

You know the feeling when you become very productive and draw countless doodles and illustrations, write dozens of pages for your fic in one day? When you're so much productive that you become much more efficient and talented all of a sudden? When the parts that always make you stuck (hands, feet..) are suddenly extremely easy to draw? When your plot is exactly like you've imagined?

You're thinking that maybe you can pull out the same thing the next day!

....And then you become as energetic as a slug and can't do anything for at least a week.

Mutism

Kellyn has a selective mutism. It has, unfortunately, been a part of his life since his younger years.

Nobody really knows what triggered it, but ever since he was 3-4 years old, he's been shutting himself in silence. Because of this, he had to learn sign language in order to communicate with others.

And, as you might expect, it's not everyone who understands sign language, resulting in a very difficult childhood. Children thought he was weird, and the adults didn't like him very much either. For them, he was just a brat throwing a tantrum.

...However, everything changed when he got into Ranger School. Nobody made fun of him for his condition anymore, and he was able to make his very first friends in the person of Keith and Rhythmi. They were the ones who gave him enough self-confidence to fight back against the ones who wronged him.

When he became a Ranger and got separated from them, Kate took over. She gave him a small tablet from Altru Inc, which allows him to communicate by replacing his voice. To make it simple, he just has to write on the tablet, and the device will automatically repeat what he wrote, but out loud.

....I said his mutism was selective, didn’t I? I didn't lie. He can talk, but only to certain people. Pokemons are not included because he never stopped speaking to them. Even though he couldn't understand them at one point.

The first one, outside of his family, who heard his voice, was Keith back in Ranger School. Even though the circumstances of this event weren't really...Ideal, that allowed him to gather enough courage to speak to Rhythmi, too.

After these two, it was Kate's turn. Despite the fact that they're cousins, they didn't have the best relationship when they were children. But, they ended up fixing it, and now they look like sibling in everyone's eyes.

The last ones were Wendy and Sven. It happened at the very beginning of Operation Brighton just before the Union Raid. Kellyn never knew why, but he suddenly talked to them. Maybe he was scared that he would never see them again? Probably.

In any case, despite his condition, Kellyn has people who he trusts more than anything. And he will NEVER let them down.

Keith LOVES spicy food. His tolerance is quite high, actually.

Kellyn, on the other hand...The simple sight of it makes him cry.

And Rhythmi is the normal one, alongside Kate.

The wiiind is....Warm...You're wa-arm...Nothing will tear us a-a-apart...Anymoreee.
