Keethan Danex Reference

---Basic Information---

Full name: Keethan Rami Danex
Nickname: Bolt
Species: Rafion
Gender: Male
Age: 14 
Height: 5'2
Weight: 102 lbs


---Personality---

Keethan is not exactly what you'd call "brave".  In fact, he's pretty cowardly.  He's always struggled with anxiety, but has gotten worse ever since he got into a traumatizing incident.  He's very jumpy and nervous... The type of person who always jumps to the worst, possible conclusions for everything.  

Keethan is also pretty shy and quiet.  Despite all his worrying and panicking though, he tries to hang onto whatever small amount of courage he has possible for his friends and family.  He's a softy once you get to know him and can be on the flirtatious side... He usually gets pretty embarrassed when this side of him is being pointed out.  Although he isn't very emotionally stable, he isn't going to cower away when loved ones are in danger.  He'll do whatever he can to help, even when it's hard.  

---Combat and Abilities---

Keethan isn't entirely helpless.  He puts his trusty dagger to use whenever he needs to defend himself.  He doesn't just use it for cutting or stabbing, though.  If he's sneaky enough, he can use it to set up traps for wandering enemies.  He's also got a good aim, so if there's a wandering enemy nearby, he can hide in some brush and toss the dagger out to strike from a distance.  And of course, like all Rafions, Keethan's got his sharp fangs he can use to bite if he really needs to.  He prefers not to do that, but in the worst scenarios, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.  

All Rafions are able to hear well with their large ears.  Keethan is no exception.  His good eyesight helps alongside this.  He can listen for safe areas when it's dark out and during the day, he's got a good sense of direction.  He has a gift of looking around and knowing exactly where he came from if his party is lost or if he's trying to track someone or something down.  He just pays close attention to tiny details like broken twigs or flattened dirt.  So while Keethan isn't the strongest companion, physically or emotionally, you don't typically have to worry about getting lost while he's by your side.  He makes a good guide to have around!
