alden and nikita <3

Nikita (Niki for short) is Alden's older sister (who i completely made up). She was never mentioned in the books for one reason- she's gay, and was disowned from the Vacker family :( she is an enhancer, i just always forget to give her gloves lol.

special thanks to frizz for helping me with the background color <33

if you had to ADD a character, who would they be and what are they like

OOOOHHHH

I’ve seen this done twice I think, but I’d give sophie a human friend from the forbidden cities.

I would add a homeschooled neighbor her age who doesn’t have anywhere else to make friends and neither does sophie and they’re both incredibly smart so they bond.

Sophie doesn’t mind her thoughts because they’re mostly quiet and relaxing instead of overbearing, and far cleaner than the high schoolers she’s around with at school

The washers take care of her family—but this girl remembers sophie. She can’t be going crazy. She KNOWS there was a sophie. And she’s determined to find out what happened to her.

Picrew Chain, Show me your ocs and tell me about them as though you were introducing your firstborn to court in the victorian Era

May I present my dearest child, Constance.

Con is a Project Moonlark Prototype called Project Phoenix. Con's half-human and their mind isn't as likely to break because of this. They were born in London, in 1964. They're the reason Project Phoenix was ended because they decided to join the Neverseen! Constance is mostly kept in the dark and doesn't know the full extent of the Neverseen's cruelty. Like Sophie, Con has many abilities, but they keep most of them secret from the Neverseen. They only know they're a Pryokinetic. Con has multiple tattoos, and often dresses in such a way she attracts a lot of attention. Gisela hates it because it makes stealth missions harder. Con knew about Keefe's creation, but not about the attempts to flood Atlantis!

I'll tag

@swans-chirping-in-the-distance @that-multi-fandom-hijabi But anyone else who wants to join is welcome!

man, drafting kotlc exile rewrite is making me realize how much potential there is to give Quinn (my oc) a villain arc.

#should I do it #probably not #kotlc #kotlc rewrite #kotlc oc #she just has so much angst potential and like #in this one she's struggling with her self-image a lot especially compared to sophie #who has three abilites #can talk to a magical unicorn #gets to train to be cognates #gets to go to the silver tower #gets all the attention #yeah #Quinn has a lot of built up rage #can't wait :D

[lezabeththetheodoraimposter]

idk why I’m sharing my kotlc ocs bc I’m not an oc type of fan but oh well (my ocs are more of just characters I head cannon to exists out there) + drawings I did of them (this is the abridged version dw ur not going to be reading a dissertation on them 💀)

Selma Akhenaten

- She’s a vociferator so she doesn’t speaks much

- her uncle (and favorite relative) is councillor Noland

- her two cousins, aunt and uncle, dad, and younger brothers are all frosters so she really can’t stand them

- the only way she would be “plot relevant” if she was cannon is one time she got paired up with sophie is p.e

- rbf + the fact she doesn’t speak much makes everyone think she is rude and judgmental

- really powerful vociferator but it means she’s destroyed parts of her house on accident

- loves listening to gossip but hates it when people talk bad about the council

- dresses up very nice and elaborately (I just didn’t feel like drawing that

- after fitz and sophie ran off she was the star prodigy at foxfire and was annoyed when they came back

Baldwyn Mowbray

- a mesmer

- was one of the first three councillors

- he was helping out humans with leprosy (for the human aid program) and ended up catching it himself

- because of his leprosy he resigned from the council

- the leprosy affects him similarly but not the same as humans

- he spends most of his time now skulking around and being emo and wearing face coverings

- was a homoerotic baddie before he became a leper

- friends with Bronte and Fallon (was friends with Fintan and talks to him/refuses to accept he is evil) (I told u he was homoerotic)

- lost all of his fingers on one hand

- is barely functioning

- bc of how hard and painful it is for him he doesn’t allow many visitors to see him (other than Fallon or Bronte) (and Fintan)

Odelyn Dizznee

- Dex’s (wine) aunt

- a technopath

- the neverseens technopath

- her code name is “vulcana” like “Vulcan” god of blacksmiths

- loves bright pink and would get along w Biana (if she wasn’t part of neverseen and has been for decades)

- the first time sophie saw her was in her neverseen outfit but Dex wasn’t there so no one recognized her and no one put the pieces together for a long time (like until Dex saw her)

- joined during her time at foxfire after Kesler was forced to go to exilium even though he was smarter than most of the school

- started to hate the council because of how talentless people were treated and it descended into her being a (noble)-blood-thirsty villain

- uses human weapons bc they are more effective

- keeps everyone in the neverseen from dying bc they haven’t slept since the dawn of man

- is good at alchemy and buys stuff from keslers store all the time for them (the neverseen)

- the neverseens cook too bc she’s really good at it (but she has slipped devious elixirs into alvars drinks when he annoyed her)

#guys idk what this is #I don’t normally do this stuff #but I just started drawing them and wanted to share 🤪 #sorry bout this #kotlc #kotlc OC #yall ik my art looks a lil funky and inconsistent 💀 #help Baldwyn looks like a girl #the digital inking pen I was using started to run out #how is that even possible

[brontekotlcyan]

It is time. Here is my kotlc oc. She is also my portrait for keeper sexywoman (quinlins assistant btw)

Her name is Allyta, she is autistic and East Asian. She is bubbly, kind outgoing and a little traumatised.

Her mum never understood her autism growing up and abused her. She then ran away from home and got married to an ex councillor.

She was Bronte's only friend growing up and is around the same age as him.

She is a vanisher and beguiler. She and her husband make music and incorporate ogre instruments and goblin instruments. (All head Canon btw)

I believe her side job is Quinlin's assistant because Quinlin calls her incompetent (her autism) in the first book. It also says that Bronte sent her to watch him hence that's why I think shes Quinlin's assistant. Portrait:

[myfairkatiecat]

Okay okay okay. My KOTLC oc’s from when I was 11, all recently recovered from my notes app.

Edit: upon reading it again i think the vibes are telling me I was actually 13. Still. These are old OC’s and I’m surprised by how much I adore them

These were all created when nightfall was the latest book so… do with that what you will.

But I’m falling back in love with them 🥹

@swans-chirping-in-the-distance @sophieswundergarten @thesmartpaladin @autistic-daydreamer (since you guys asked about them :D)

Names (in order):

Avana Crane

Kaslyn Crane

Timon Kester

Haylyn Zuni

Danisa Madella

Bios are below the cut!

Avana Crane

- works for the Neverseen as a double agent for the Black Swan. Works for the Black Swan as a double agent for the Neverseen. Both organizations think they are on their side. Only she knows what side she is on… and even then, she’s not really sure. She just wants change and knows one way or another, one of these groups will eventually succeed.

- she hides the fact that she ever manifested an ability so no one can prepare for what she can do. She uses the fact that she is “talentless” as her reason for distrusting the council to get both the neverseen and black swan to feel sympathetic for her. (She is a mesmer. Her chaos capabilities with this being a secret are impossible to match.) I headcanon that neither organization ever had a real reason to probe her mind, but if anything about it comes up in her memories when someone looks through her mind, she blushes and says she always daydreams about having this super powerful special ability since she never got one, and since she’s seventeen and there’s no reason for them to assume she’d hide an amazing ability during a time of her life when she should want to be accepted, everyone just goes with it.

- Never really works close to Sophie and her friends in the black swan, but gets to know Keefe while he’s with the neverseen. He’s really bad at pretending he doesn’t care about the Moonlark, but as someone who is playing both sides expertly, Avana can’t judge him… she does MAJORLY ship Sokeefe though.

- Mr. Forkle absolutely knows she has loyalties all over the place. He also knows she has a special ability. He shares this information with no one because he is very impressed with how effective she is at making things happen and doesn’t want to jeopardize that—and she clearly meant it when she said “I will do everything in my power to help my world” when swearing fealty. He is the ONLY one who knows. Nobody with the neverseen has a clue.

Kaslyn Crane

@kaslynspeaks I literally named this character when I was eleven, but now that I look at her name again all I can think of is you lol

- Avana’s little sister (fourteen years old)

- Beguiler & Polyglot

- mainly exists to give Avana a reason to burst into tears and play the “I just want the future to be better for my sister” card with both rebel groups (despite the fact that her sister is… three years younger than her) and to be Timon Kester’s eventual love interest!

- has an impossible crush on Keefe Sencen. Avana has heard his name multiple times out of the mouth of her little sister by the time she meets him with the neverseen, which is part of why she’s so quick to trust him. However, Kaslyn is more than aware that he’ll never love anyone but Sophie… she just deludes herself sometimes!

Timon Kester

- Timon was adopted by his aunt and uncle after his parents decided they didn’t want him anymore. He manifested as a polyglot at age 13, and his parents said this was an essentially useless ability on its own. Timon didn’t want to stay with them anyway. They were the worst

- Timon and Kaslyn are good friends and talk to each other in other languages just to mess with their friends. Timon likes Kaslyn a LOT, but Kaslyn is, as previously mentioned, hopelessly in love with Keefe Sencen (who barely knows she exists). Timon wonders if he should start acting out bc of home troubles… maybe that would get Kaslyn’s attention…

- Timon sorta wants to join the Black Swan after hearing little stuff about it since it’s become sorta mainstream to know about it by nightfall. He’s like hey that’s cool, I like what they seem to stand for… however the ticket in at this point seems to be having a shared traumatic experience with Sophie Foster and Timon has zero idea how to get one of those

- Timon thinks Kaslyn’s older sister is REALLY sketchy, but he can’t say that because he’s afraid of seeming prejudiced against talentless people. Avana gives him weird vibes though.

Haylyn Zuni

- Haylyn is a hydrokinetic in level one at foxfire that Linh has taken under her wing

- She is eleven and also is VERY young to manifest. Linh recognizes herself in Haylyn and bonds with her quickly, helping her control her powers

- Haylyn asks Linh about joining the black swan exactly once. Linh says it involves a lot of almost-dying and Haylyn goes back on this, saying she’s happy to support the black swan but definitely doesn’t need in on the almost-dying thing.

- Haylyn thinks Marella is AWESOME. Since Linh and Marella hang out a lot, Haylyn sees Marella around quite a bit. One time, Haylyn tells Marella how cool pyrokinesis, and how part of her wishes she got to be a pyrokinetic. Marella is absolutely shellshocked and realizes that the prejudice against her ability isn’t being taught as strongly in school as it used to be, and that real progress is being made. Haylyn tells Linh that she’s glad she’s a hydrokinetic though because it means she gets to play water with her. Haylyn is ADORABLE.

**side note: I characterized eleven-year-old Haylyn as VERY juvenile for someone who was currently eleven at the time. I am… sort of thrown off by this??? Like I LOVE Haylyn, but come on Little Katie, you were literally her age…**

Danisa Madella

- Danisa is Haylyn’s friend her age!!

- she hasn’t manifested an ability yet but when she does, she’ll be a shade—which will throw everyone way off because she’s the most bright, sparkly person ever

- she’s super optimistic and fun and upbeat. She loves swimming with Haylyn because Haylyn makes a bunch of pretty shapes in the water

- Elvin vsco girl energy **STOP I FORGOT THAT WAS A THING**

- Danisa looks up to Sophie Foster a LOT. She’s her role model. She daydreams about finding out she’s actually going to manifest five abilities so Sophie can have a Moonlark friend, and that one day the black swan will tell her she is special and invite her to come risk her life for their cause!

- Danisa and Haylyn are friends with Galin Kester (also not yet manifested but will be a telepath, maybe I’ll make a bio for him if he becomes more relevant in my headcanon) who is Timon’s cousin (but since Timon lives with his aunt and uncle, they’re like brothers) so Danisa sees Timon a lot and has him teach her languages. She doesn’t tell him why she wants to know as many languages as possible, but secretly, she really wants to impress Sophie one day if she joins the black swan.

The Groups

- The Danisa-Haylyn-Galin friend group makes elaborate plans about how they’ll casually insert themselves into enough conversations to worm their way over to sitting with the Black Swan affiliated elves at foxfire. They never execute these plans.

- The Kaslyn-Timon-Shanla friend group consists of many of Shanla’s schemes to set Timon and Kaslyn up together. (Shanla is a guster and has even resorted to literally having the wind knock Kaslyn off her feet before. Timon forgot to catch her so the whole thing failed)

- Kaslyn and Avana used to be closer, but now that Avana graduated from Foxfire, they don’t see each other as often. (This is possibly because Avana is busy with her extreme quadruple agent scheme)

Okay so I had another idea for a fic I'll prob never write, so here's me telling y'all about it 'cause I can't tell my IRL friends

It's called "The Three Who Were Never Seen" and it's about Tam, Rayni, and an OC called Pippa, who was a project Moonlark Prototype called Project Phoenix. Here's the synopsis!

When people looked at Tam Song they saw a freak. A Shade. A twin. The boy who stared a little too long, who made it clear he didn't trust anyone in those glamorized hallways of the nobles' school. He wasn't normal. He wasn't right. And, the only trans kid in Foxfire. He probably enjoyed being in the Neverseen. It was where he belonged after all.

When people looked at Rayni Aria they saw a bastard. A bastard who's parents shouldn't have been matched. Of course they raised a Neverseen member. That's what happens when you're parents aren't a good match, their sweet little girls turn into mean big girls with knives. Rayni was a bad egg, and she was always going to turn out this way.

When people looked at Pippa they saw the experiment. The rough draft. The girl who was supposed to be Sophie Foster....but ended up being Phillipa Sorin. The one whose wrinkles and folds and quirks weren't smoothed out, and who would never be as good as Sophie Foster. Because girls like Sophie Foster didn't burn down Black Swan hideouts and join the Neverseen.

Tam Song, Rayni Aria, and Phillipa Sorin were all a part of the Neverseen at one point or another. Everyone says that they were still loyal to Gisela, and perhaps, just for one of them, they're right, but not for long. Being in the Neverseen wasn't all they had in common. All of them were never seen who they were. And they were going to change that and change the world in the process.

everything about my kotlc ocs :))

Last updated: March 4th, 2023

CeCe Fathdon

She has strawberry blonde ringlets, dark blue eyes, is tan, and has a bunch of freckles.

She's a Telepath who can read emotions like Sophie.

The Neverseen tried to take her, but Wraith and Alvar got into it and lost her in a small town.

She was taken in (not legally) by a young farming couple who found her and couldn't have kids. They raised her.

She was found in a small blanket with the name "CeCe Fathdon" etched on it.

Oralie and Kenric's memories of her were taken away by the Neverseen

She got a green cap from her human family and wears it 24/7.

She originally thought her middle name was Fathdon until she met Tiergan.

He met her at 10 and took her to Solreef in secret, and only the Collective knows.

She likes cherry tomatos and fiction books (but the Elves don't have those).

She has a golden retriever named Rufus, whom she brought with her.

She wears overalls.

Tiergan teaches her everything they do at Foxfire (that he can).

Keefe is her idol, but she feels connected to Sophie and doesn't know why.

If she has to fight, she resorts to her fists.

She LOVES plants and constantly helps out the gnomes.

Linh, Marella, Maruca, and Stina eventually just adopt her (not literally).

She clicks with Amy as soon as she meets her.

She's approximately 5 years younger than Sophie.

Eventually marries a guy named Chen.

She met Chen when he wanted to join the Black Swan, and she took him straight to Sophie's house, except she was a nervous wreck and didn't knock.

Sophie was in a baggy hoodie eating ramen noodles crying to Bambi that's playing from a laptop when CeCe and Chen walk in.

Sophie almost killed her that day/ hj

Amir Patel

He's Indian and human.

His dad died when he was 6 and he cherishes his mom.

He can be awkward and nerdy at times, but he's a really good friend.

He gets bullied a lot until he meets Keefe.

He finds him in an alley by his house looking lost, sad, and a little crazy. Amir led him to his home and welcomed him as a guest until Keefe found the hotel.

You bring someone looking like Keefe Sencen to school, and people are gonna stop bullying you.

He was genuinely good friends with Keefe, and he almost told Amir about elves when he bought the elf for Sophie. He chose to talk about Sophie instead.

Amir asked him one day why he left. Keefe opened up about his parents.

He helped Keefe as much as he could.

He was a good friend.

He has short black hair, brown skin, dark eyes, and black glasses.

Whenever he fights, he uses an old metal bat he found (projecting Stiles Stilinski lol).

He's the same age as Dex, Biana, Jensi, etc.
