Kennalise Astraea Frair

Kennalise Astraea Frair, also known as Kenna Garren, is the lost heir of the Kingdom of Marina and the main protagonist in The Faedom Chronicles.

Appearance
Kennalise is described as being petite, an uncommon trait among fae. She also has a curvaceous and toned figure attained through many years of combat training with her father. Her facial features are said to be delicate with slightly arched eyebrows, an oval-shaped face, almond-shaped eyes, and a light dusting of freckles along her nose and cheeks.

Kennalise's two favorite features are her eyes and hair. It has been stated that her eyes are never quite the same, an ever-shifting pendulum between green and blue, flecked with silver. The color of her hair is a rich and shiny copper brown that intensifies when exposed to sunlight showcasing deep browns and bright orangy-reds. Due to the fact that Kennalise's lightly wavy hair reaches the middle of her back, she usually keeps it in an updo or braided, though she does let it loose on occasion.

After becoming full fae Kennalise's ears shift to end in short points (around 1 inch), associated with fae gifted in hidden abilities not attained through signature magic. Kennalise also displays mage marks, magical siphons granted to her by the First High Empress, Tallia Cresswell, which run along her hands, feet, and the middle of her spine. Her hands and feet are described as being decorated in fine silver filigree that dissipates once it reaches her wrists and ankles. In the center of her spine is the symbol of the mage, an eight-pointed star.

Personality
To the gazing eye, Kennalise is depicted as shy and guarded, characteristics that were cultivated by a childhood of bullying and being kept close to her family. In reality, she is exuberant, confident, witty, and outgoing; traits that are usually only seen by those closest to her. Even with being bullied, Kennalise is exceptionally confident in her appearance and the skills she does possess. She also isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in.

Though, where she falls short is understanding her value to others. She has the tendency to feel she has to prove herself to those around her and so is constantly trying to show her worth through service and kind acts. Also, because of her ambivert personality, she is very calm in situations where decisions need to be made and shines when given leadership roles, but becomes easily flustered, causing her to blush deeply when too much attention is directed to her or if she makes a mistake.

Kennalise has a good handle on her emotions, but can quickly become defensive when feeling threatened. Even though it's a rarity when she's in a bad mood, usually due to stress, sleep deprivation, or hunger, she can go from zero to sixty instantaneously. She has a good understanding of when she is at her limit and removes herself from the situation is she can. To calm herself she enjoys drawing, singing, going on walks, reading, or cleaning.

Early Life in Marina
Kennalise Astraea Frair was born to High King Corinth Frair, and High Queen Ellinet Frair, in the Kingdom of Marina. Kennalise was born premature, also known as an Untimely, which is considered a death sentence for younglings due to their signature magic and general health being weak. Fearing the loss of their child Kennalise's parents hid the fact that she showed no signs of signature magic in hopes that she would attain it later. During this time Kennalise lived her first year of life as the High Princess of Marina rarely seen by others except for the royal family's close friends.

The Marinian Massacre
During the summer of Kennalise's first year, the High King of Ignas sent an army to Marina hoping to conquer the land on the assumption they had information about the Light of Faedom, a powerful creation offered by the Empress of Faedom, Tallia Cresswell.

The High King of Ignas' armies decimated Marina killing a multitude of fae as well as High King Corinth. Once High Queen Ellinet heard of her husband's death she asked her most trusted friends, the Ironwoods (Anguis, Alina, and Jace) to take Kennalise from harm and raise her as their own until she was of age to reclaim the throne as hers. The High Queen herself could not join them as she lay on her deathbed due to being weakened by Kennalise's birth. The High Queen with her last breath asked that the Ironwoods to love her daughter as she did and to keep her safe. The Ironwoods did as the High Queen asked taking and raising Kennalise as their own.

Early Life In Valis
After escaping Marina the Ironwood family and Kennalise traveled to Valis, a small kingdom located on the west upper coast of Faedom. There Kennalise was raised under the false name Kenna Garren (which she will be referred to hence in this Wikia until later), the Ironwoods also changing their surnames to Garren. Kenna was raised not knowing of her past and believed to be the second born of the Garren family, the first, her brother Jace Garren (Ironwood), though she hardly looked like the rest of her family.

Kenna's (adoptive) family built their new lives living in a small two-story house outside the boundaries of Valis, while inside Valis the family worked in a joint shop, The Iron Flower. One half of the shop was dedicated to Anguis' black-smithery, while the other half was Alina's flower shop. Kenna and Jace both worked in either part of the shop helping to maintain the business. As time went on Jace became old enough to attend the Faedom Academy, a school available for fae to learn about Faedom, rudimentary subjects, and signature magic. Kenna did not join her brother in the academy since she still did not possess magic, a secret the Garren's kept within the family. Due to this, Kenna was home-schooled by her parents, consequently gaining a better education than what most fae would receive in the academy. This was because both of her parents elevated Kenna's education to equal with that of a royals' in hopes of preparing her for her future role as a ruler. This left Kenna with an increased knowledge of material such as etiquette, government, geography, literature, mathematics, all signature magic, military tactics, etc. When not studying books under her mother, Kenna's time was dedicated to learning the sword from her father, a necessity he deemed since Kenna had no way of protecting herself from magic users. Kenna was trained to utilize an arrangement of blades going as far as to learn how they were forged and with what materials.

Due to home-schooling and being kept close to her family Kenna was left isolated from most of the fae in Valis, especially her peers. The younglings would bully and taunt her for not being at the academy, saying that there must be something wrong with her. This accusation caused continuous teasing and prevented Kenna from making new friends. Some even went as far as to call her by the nickname "Mouse" because of her small size and her meek nature. Most of these altercations were stopped by Jace as he took on the role of protector over his little sister. However, Jace was unable to stop ever altercation leaving Kenna to fend for herself.

On one occasion, Kenna was cornered by two youngling boys who decided to pick on her by pulling her hair and calling her names. One of the boys even threw a rock at her head causing it to bleed. Unable to help herself, Kenna pleaded with the boys to stop. When it seemed as if they wouldn't listen, they halted at the voice of Violet Thimble, a girl who'd recently moved to Valis. Violet was able to chase the boys off and offered Kenna her friendship. Not wanting Violet to face the same ostracization as her, declined by running away. Violet's persistence for Kenna's friendship later won over, the two becoming inseparable. Later, Kenna shared her secret about having no Signature Magic with Violet which ultimatly lead to strengthening their friendship further.
