unlike his twin, kenya’s childlike disposition casts him in a younger light despite their physical similarities; however, he does not mind being treated like a child. his wide, star filled turquoise eyes are easily entranced by the most mundane objects though he tries valiantly to resist the urge to explore. moreover, his long, vibrant green hair will often be seen in a low ponytail, but his bangs cover the left side of his face and are tousled in chaotic disarray. when he wears his hair loose, it brushes against his ankles and gets in the way; he quickly becomes frustrated and ties it up again. as for the rest of his physical attributes, his ivory skin rarely tans or burns though his cheeks will often be seen flushed in excitement. he stands at a fairly reasonable height of five feet and nine inches though he very nearly crosses into the underweight category for his height, and contrary to his twin, his body does not hold any muscle and is composed of bone and a little fat.

kenya has always been a free spirit, and his choice of attire displays that wild, unrestrained nature. he adores bright colors. his wardrobe is a hodgepodge of neon colors with a few garments in monochrome to help tie the outfit together, and he will commonly be seen sporting layers. he loathes displaying any portion of his skin due to the scars scattered across his upper body; however, he loves taking a dive into the pool on hot summer afternoons and rarely pays attention to his attire at that point. kenya rarely dresses up in suits and only has one in his closet though he does understand the importance of dressing for the occasion… he just prefers to dress based on his mood. on the other hand, he will always be seen with a pair of headphones wrapped around his neck or covering his ears. his choice of shoe attire varies between combat boots, bare feet, converses, and ballerina flats. he, after all, has no qualms against dressing up like a girl.

while luka accepted most of the physical abuse, kenya suffered as well which resulted in a number of scars adorning his upper body; however, his self-consciousness over the scars has led him to wearing more layers to attempt and hide them from sight. one particularly nasty scar under his right collar bone was hidden under a lime green tattoo, |||0603. once arriving in new york, kenya decided to celebrate by getting a piercing in his right ear lobe and right cartilage, and his usual combination is a large light blue stud in his lobe piercing and smaller black stud in his cartilage. finally, he never goes anywhere without his faithful alien plush, misha.

many people will see kenya wandering around, seemingly lost in his own thoughts until he crashes into a sign post. despite his strict upbringing, he does not have a reliable bone in his body, for he often forgets the tasks set before him and never manages to arrive on time. when talking to people, he will often drift off mid-sentence to stare at a butterfly or ask misha, his alien plush, a question. he believes whole-heartedly that misha is alive and will become quite upset if people try to argue otherwise. for the most part, kenya remains a free spirit, drifting wherever the wind takes him, and he has a hard time separating his own internal fantasies from reality. he is quite clingy with people that he feels comfortable around and will stare at interesting objects with a wide, unblinking stare regardless of whether said object is alive or not. few people have the patience to deal with him; however, he is a very giving soul and cannot stand to see people in distress. he easily empathizes with those around him and is forever led by his heart, which has resulted in him attempting to bring home more strays than appreciated by luka. furthermore, most comments and rude gestures roll off his back, for he seemingly lacks the ability to grow angry at words geared to destroy him mentally and emotionally. his infantile nature and blunt speech results in few individuals bothering to hang around which takes its toll on kenya’s already low self-confidence; despite this, he manages to bounce back, burying his feelings underneath a smile.

FAMILY ✚ savva krasniy (father - 42), arisha krasniy (mother - deceased), luka krasniy (twin - 22)

his first memories are haunted by pain and the reassuring presence of his older twin brother. he and luka greeted the world after a long, hard pregnancy; however, they managed to survive and enter the world. they had no idea what awaited them in life. their mother, unlike them, did not survive the pregnancy. she succumbed in her weakened state, and she would not awaken. their father, savva, grieved for his beautiful, beloved wife, the one bright spot in his otherwise dreary life. in his grief and rage over her death, he became even more strict and exacting, punishing his employees for any miniature mistake; the people employed under him quickly learned to fear his volatile temper. he was liable to begin throwing punches at any moment, for he blamed everyone for stealing his wife away from him. savva planned to die with her or before her, never even pictured that he might outlive her along with their newborn children.

speaking of his children, they were not spared from his wrath; if he blamed everyone, then they bore most of the blame on their tiny shoulders. his wife died bringing them into the world, and his grief shrouded mind could see nothing but monsters in the two young boys. no one shielded the boys from his cruel, punishing parenting. their grandparents (on their father’s side) even encouraged savva’s heavy handed approach to raising them, for they believed that all children needed to grow up the right way with no room for fun and games. the family business was a serious matter; as the heirs, they were expected to be perfect. both luka and kenya were put through their paces, learning about finances and the rules to running a business and various languages and how to defend themselves. kenya often cried himself to sleep, terrified that he might turn into a monster like his father.

even in those dark years, kenya found comfort in his brother, the only bright, shinning light in their dismal household. he never fully realized that his brother shielded him from most of the physical abuse; however, luka could do nothing to spare his twin from the agony inflicted by savva’s harsh retorts. since luka stole a portion of kenya’s punishment, savva reacted by focusing his criticisms on kenya and watching on with a smirk as he slowly destroyed his youngest son’s self-confidence, and kenya slowly began to resent his father. his resentment did not morph into hatred until he stumbled across luka after one particularly harsh beating. with shaking hands, kenya helped tend to his twin’s wounds and vowed to never try to defend his father again. he wanted away from the house and the mob business… yet he did not know how to escape. luka was hurt, and they had no money. his rudimentary plans crumbled before they even gained the breath of life.

the years continued to pass with the hatred in the household growing more and more stifling. kenya retreated inwards and focused on luka and misha, ignoring people that tried to befriend him, and for several months, he became skittish and afraid to leave his brother’s side. one night during his skittish phase, luka dragged him from bed and told him that they were escaping. kenya wanted to cheer, but he was afraid for what might happen to them if they were caught. they, however, managed to escape from the mansion and catch a flight to new york where they decided to establish a new life together. their new life did not begin without complications; however, they managed to find their own niche with kenya slowly returning to his usual whimsical, absent-minded self.

✚ resides in pennsquare luxury housing.
✚ his brother has developed a habit of presenting kenya with gifts at random; however, it all began with a simple alien plush that luka won for kenya when they were children. the plush gained the name misha and has not left kenya's side since he received it. he even insists that the toy is alive, often talking and interacting with the inanimate toy. moreover, he becomes quite upset when people attempt to tell him that misha is not alive.
✚ when he and luka arrived in new york, his brother bought an old barnes and noble with the money stolen from their father, and they refurbished it and presented it with a new name. his official title is his brother's assistant; however, he rarely surfaces from the books contained within their shop. many people believe him to be one of the managers as he knows the shop better than any of the other employees.
✚ while exploring new york one afternoon, kenya stumbled upon an injured samoyed, and he carried the young pup home where he insisted that luka help him tend to the poor dog. after they finished catering to the puppy's injuries, kenya insisted upon naming him vasya and refused to be separated from him. vasya will commonly be seen with kenya, attempting to keep him out of trouble when luka is not around.
