tbh I’m curious abt kendis !! it seems like they’re an oc who gets thrown in a few different verses(/games)? do u have a favorite one? do they act p much the same overall or are they more fluid personality-wise depending on the source ??

ah, I see you've discovered how one note I am my obsessive focus lol.

it seems like they’re an oc who gets thrown in a few different verses(/games)

Yes! They are. I think not counting RP, I have Kendis in at least .... four I think? Sometimes I start an IF with Kendis to like test it out, because I've become so familiar with them. And if I like it, I'll create someone new. Though a couple of times, I created different versions ... or more like used Kendis as a template and they ended up becoming their own character (like Della in Body Count.) Actively, I currently have Kendis in The Exile [Kendis Lateth], TWC [Kendis Crawford-Louel), KOTSAM [Kendis Crawford-Louel, lol], and BG3 [Kendis Wolfcrossing]. Of those .... it is hard to say who is my favorite. Though I've gone back to TWC!Kendis more and I've come to explore more of aspects of Kendis through that. But I have a VERY soft spot for KOTSAM Kendis and her dynamics, lol. In general, I guess of my RP Kendis' my favorites would probably be Kendis Crawford-Gange who was OG Kendis #1 [well, number 2 technically]. And a KCL I played when she was in her early 20s. I liked KCG because she was how I first pictured Kendis: spoiled good [and maybe a touch rotten], stubborn, selfish, fiercely independent but just as loyal, definitely the girl who would help you fix your make up after she held your hair back. KCL: shifted to someone a bit more ... wild, brusque, more likely to judge you while you vomited bc they TOLD you to drink water [but then give you ibuprofen], more likely to help you smash the windows out an exes car then let you cry on their shoulder. But still loyal, stubborn, independent, with a huge but guarded heart [probably more guarded even]. I'm partial to younger KCL just bc she's baby and messier but I also think softer.

do they act p much the same overall or are they more fluid personality-wise depending on the source ??

I hope they're fluid depending on the source? lol. I feel they are. In honesty, in a sense it's a mix of both. And that feels like a cop out. I mean that in the sense that there are certain traits that are highlighted more depending on the source [like the Exile Kendis is more aggressive and angry - aspects that og!Kendis tries so hard to suppress and, depending on their age, struggles to find a balance for. They also rely on their humor more as a defense mechanism. On the other hand, TWC Kendis can afford to be more openly optimistic and sympathetic. I would say of the Kendis' they - and KOTSAM Kendis - care more. They can afford to be more genuine than Exile Kendis, but as such their defensiveness comes out more prickly. Or like Kendis values independence and loyalty, Kendis is reckless and possessive. How much of each varies in the games but those traits are still there. Detective Kendis is still reckless but she can't be QUITE as rebellious as KOTSAM!Kendis, but it's still there -- but for them it might come out more as gritted sarcasm or throwing the rule book out the door while KOTSAM!Kendis both does and both doesn't have more leeway as the Keeper.] Of course, family background also plays a HUGE impact as much as the background -- but I won't tl;dr about that, lol. I will say there are certain things that must and needs to be around to be viable for Kendis to be Kendis, and if they're not in game, I need the space to be able to headcanon it

thank you for the ask!

#long post #villainsidestep #like i did the camp game with kendis [havent finished it yet] bc kendis loves kids and i am liking how you can sorta pick mcs background ra #her than have it set in stone. but idk if i'd move forward with it with them bc it locks you too soon into a romance and kendis is demi #so i'd have to see how much wriggle room i have but its fun to put around with #one of my fave things about playing kendis in ifs is seeing how the stats shift based on choices. like sometimes a choice doesnt lead to th #stat i tthink it will #grapecase answers #meet my ocs #insight: kendis crawford louel
