CHARACTER INFO Character Name: Kanaya Maryam Series: Homestuck Canon Point: Act 6 Act 3; directly after the large dream bubble meeting. History Link:Link.
Personality:If we were to label each Homestuck troll with a stereotype, Kanaya would be the Token Goth. Where other trolls stay up at night, she can withstand --and actually enjoys-- being in the harsh Alternian sun. She's fascinated with the morbid and the macabre, in particular with tales of rainbow drinkers; the troll version of vampires. This is such a powerful obsession for Kanaya that one of her actions after the death of her beloved lusus is to try a taste of the monster's blood. That isn't to say she has a dark and gritty personality, though. Despite these dark interests, she also has some very bright ones to match-- which most trolls also happen to not have. She has an upbeat sense of humor, often having silly, meaningless conversations with her friends, is generally polite, and has a range of unusually pleasant hobbies. She loves flowers and gardening for example, and is a fan of fashion. Where most trolls live in dark hives, Kanaya was raised in the middle of nowhere, her own home bright and colorful. Had her world not been doomed to destruction, she probably would have been content to live out her entire life that way.
But Kanaya knew for quite a while that her world and her race were doomed, being one of the few trolls who's dream self had been awake for some time and seeing glimpses of the future. On top of that, she came across Rose's unfinished game guide, not realizing that it was written by someone who's universe she herself would help to create. It was just another little thing Kanaya became fixated with. In fact, getting fixated with things is something Kanaya seems to have a knack for. She's commonly referred to as a meddler and a fussyfangs by her moirail, Vriska -- at the very least -- and has a reputation for being the "village twwo wwheel device" when it comes to mediating in others' relationships. Kanaya just can't keep her nose out of her friends' problems, and tries to help whenever possible. Because of her mature and level-headed nature, and her abundance of patience, she's rather good at it.
Yet when it comes to feelings, she has plenty of her own to deal with. Kanaya tends to find herself romantically interested in girls who are either blind to or unable to return her feelings. She will try to deny even having those kinds of feelings to begin with, even if they're obvious to everyone around her. This attitude of denial and passiveness leads her to getting her heart broken at least once, which allows us to see another side of her; the stubborn side that isn't able to easily let go of a grudge. Once crossed, she's prone to stay that way for some time, usually trying to avoid and ignore the object of her ire. But that's not to say she shies away from violence. She's actually quite capable of committing it without hesitation if it seems like a fitting response for the situation. She doesn't appear to feel guilty or insecure about these choices, either. When her lusus dies, she has a moment of mourning and then cuts the creature open to keep her promise to it without a hint of disgust. She also never seemed particularly bothered about the fate of most of her race, and so far has not expressed a hint of remorse for killing Eridan (he killed her first!). And after an entire year, she still holds a grudge against Gamzee, wishing to do more than give him an epic kick to the crotch. She also doesn't blink when faced with the task of sawing a friend in half, nor does she seem to mind stealing blood from friends, both alive and dead, after coming back to life as a rainbow drinker.
It takes quite a lot for Kanaya to get to a point where she openly shows her anger or sadness, though. Most of the time she's calm, collected, articulate, displays a silly and dorky sense of humor about things, and gives the impression that she's just a tad classy. The kind of friend in the group who tends to be a little on the weird, silly side, but who you go to when you want the most logical advice.
