Sven is the type of guy who likes giving nicknames and gifts to the people around him. It's his way to say that he cares about someone.
For example, he calls Keith and Kellyn Sunshine Boy and Moonlight Boy, respectively. At first, he thought of them as his little brothers, but he shifted towards them beings' sons to him. Even if Kellyn is pretty much Wendy's child at this point.
Talking about Wendy, he calls her Sky Queen and is proud to be her best friend. They're almost like siblings in a way. Especially when figthing over adoption papers.
Rhythmi and Kate also have matching nicknames like the boys. These are Topaze Girl and Cobalt Girl, and they're the precious little sisters that Sven never had.
Eden, too, has a nickname of his own. But it's most like a game between him and Sven, to be honest. Sven calls him Lion Cub, and, in turn, Eden calls him Big Squirrel.
Finally! Almia Castle! The Blue Gem is inside it's walls...It's colder than before or it's just me...?
AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! T-The forest- It's on fire! P-Please, help the Pokemons!
Mutism
Kellyn has a selective mutism. It has, unfortunately, been a part of his life since his younger years.
Nobody really knows what triggered it, but ever since he was 3-4 years old, he's been shutting himself in silence. Because of this, he had to learn sign language in order to communicate with others.
And, as you might expect, it's not everyone who understands sign language, resulting in a very difficult childhood. Children thought he was weird, and the adults didn't like him very much either. For them, he was just a brat throwing a tantrum.
...However, everything changed when he got into Ranger School. Nobody made fun of him for his condition anymore, and he was able to make his very first friends in the person of Keith and Rhythmi. They were the ones who gave him enough self-confidence to fight back against the ones who wronged him.
When he became a Ranger and got separated from them, Kate took over. She gave him a small tablet from Altru Inc, which allows him to communicate by replacing his voice. To make it simple, he just has to write on the tablet, and the device will automatically repeat what he wrote, but out loud.
....I said his mutism was selective, didn’t I? I didn't lie. He can talk, but only to certain people. Pokemons are not included because he never stopped speaking to them. Even though he couldn't understand them at one point.
The first one, outside of his family, who heard his voice, was Keith back in Ranger School. Even though the circumstances of this event weren't really...Ideal, that allowed him to gather enough courage to speak to Rhythmi, too.
After these two, it was Kate's turn. Despite the fact that they're cousins, they didn't have the best relationship when they were children. But, they ended up fixing it, and now they look like sibling in everyone's eyes.
The last ones were Wendy and Sven. It happened at the very beginning of Operation Brighton just before the Union Raid. Kellyn never knew why, but he suddenly talked to them. Maybe he was scared that he would never see them again? Probably.
In any case, despite his condition, Kellyn has people who he trusts more than anything. And he will NEVER let them down.
Keith LOVES spicy food. His tolerance is quite high, actually.
Kellyn, on the other hand...The simple sight of it makes him cry.
And Rhythmi is the normal one, alongside Kate.
If you ask a complete stranger who is the most dangerous person in the group, they most likely will answer with Keith and/or Kate's names.
However, if you ask a staff member of the Ranger Union, they will, without hesitation, answer with Rhythmi's name.
Let's start with some explanations: first of all, Rhythmi's is not strong physically. She's the weakest of the group. Hell, even Kellyn is stronger than her!
Then, "why?" you wonder? That's simple: she's a Mama Hawk.
Yes, she's may not be strong like Keith or Kate, but boy, oh boy, she's scary as hell! More than once, she left the Union building to give a piece of her mind to the ungrateful/selfish/inconsiderate brats who are bugging her Rangers.
When that happens, her face becomes so dark and furious that even the toughest beast doesn't dare look at her in the eyes. Thankfully, she doesn't need to come to blows most of the time, but when she does...Let's just say that the adrenaline rush and rage do the trick.
To put it bluntly, Rhythmi's a raging Mama Hawk who's ready to kill in order to protect her precious Rangers. A very scary Mama Hawk.
Who would have thought that silence could be so overwhelming? Not Keith, that's for sure.
It's not like he could do anything about that however. He had to be patient, like always.
And hope. That's all he had left afterall.

Missing scene taking place between "Almia Castle" and "Pain and Tears" of "Way to the Dawn"
From now on, you're part of my favorites. (He was already in there, but in my top 5 now)
If you wonder why I am in such a mood, well....Let's just say that Kaeya pretty much saved my poor skilled *ss.
You see, I was fighting this f*cking Electro Hypostase for the Adventure Level Quest (You know, the one that regenerate itself), and I was cleary underlevel for it.
So, most of the fight, I used Aether (LV 66) to try to do some damages while I was keeping Kaeya (Lv 50) for the Regeneration Part.
I tried twice. Once which ended with no more time. And the second one, I boosted myself with Almond Tofu.
Well...That was rough. I almost run out of Time AGAIN, almost beating this THING as I was at the Renegeration Part. I saw the countdown and was ready to give up.
BUT. Now let me introduce Kaeya, who miraculously survived the fight and had his special attack ready.
I guess I was lucky as hell since I got two fragments at once and I finished up the Boss at 2 seconds from the end!
I learned my lesson today.
No more Adventure Level Quest while being underlevel! 💦
Now, I have to grind even MORE! 😭👍
To be honest, I'm still recovering from the adrenaline rush and my euphoria but eh. Kaeya was the true MVP in this fight. Which made me adore him more than the normal.
Now, if you excuse, I need to give him so much affection that it would make Diluc jealous as Hell.
...Who knows. Maybe that will make him decide to come Home...👀

You may be a little brat and I love you, but, I HATE YOUR HAIR! Goodness, I just don't know how his hair works! And it's far worse with his second design... (Also while looking at fanarts I saw many intrepretations...Not helping, but it's pretty. Kudos to all of you~) So yeah, there is my version of Theo. Hope you like it. Anyway, I know the Storytelling is quite slow but don't worry. It's gonna be faster after the Chapter's End. Well...Goodbye, see you next time!~
....Tell me. Don't you feel it? That agony, slowly creeping through your veins...? That hate burning as bright as 400 years ago...? ....That's right. It's your creations, afterall. Now, tell me. Did you really think that I would forgive you this time?
I may be a (really) crazy wolf and fangirl, however I still welcome you into my pack! All little wolves are welcomed here!♡ Warning: English isn't my original language, but I can speak it. I can speak French too.^^"
