Small but mighty. Despite Key's parents both being kitsune, she is a common house cat. She is small, unlike both of them, who tower over her. Her weight is mostly in fluff, mainly from her long, long hair. Key is short but mighty. She is a trapeze artist, therefore her muscles are well-developed and she is actually quite strong. Her wardrobe typically constists of warm-up pieces on days when she is practicing. She is quite the little fashionista and has a selection of leotards for every occasion. Key also adores wearing makeup, since she only gets to do it during the shows. On a typical day, Key enjoys frilly dresses and poofy shirts. She is very much a girly girl and her parents do not mind indulging her.

Key has slender fingers and toes, but her nails are constantly long and pointed. As a feline, she is an apex predator and therefore, her canines are also sharp and pointed. As a feline, Key is meant to eat meat. As a cat, she has pointy ears and a long, slender tail. Her fur is pink, just like her hair. Her eyes are turquoise, changing in hue and depth.

Lost in skies of powdered gold
Caught in clouds of silver ropes
Showered by the empty hopes
As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground
I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
Making waves in pitch black sand
Feel the salt dance on my hands
Raw and charcoal coloured thighs
Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin
I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Key had a rough start to life. While Earth Dwellers are few and far between, they still do exist. Key's family are thought to be among them. She was found in the dessert, half buried in sand, dehydrated, and burned. The Circus ship had crash landed, an emergency gear failing. While Fox was busy attempting to repair the ship, Pandora heard a sound coming from somewhere in the sand. She searched the deserted wasteland, finding a baby, barely three months old, too weak to properly cry. Having awoken a motherly instinct from somewhere inside of her, Pandora took the baby home. Hesitant to expand their family, Fox agreed to nurse the baby back to health. In the end, they fell in love with the child and named her Key, as she was the Key to their hearts.

Pandora and Fox intended to keep Key out of the circus, they did not want to introduce her to life on the stage, under scrutiny of everyone else. They wanted Key to have a pleasant upbringing and allowed her to roam free through the airship. It was when Key was five years old that they made the terrifying discovery. Key was missing. After scouring the ship top to bottom, Pandora discovered her perched at the top of the platform where the trapeze launched from. Key wanted to learn to how to fly through the air. Pandora and Fox could no longer hold their daughter back. They allowed her to learn and Key quickly became a top performer. Small and light, she made the perfect trick artist and the thrill of performing quickly became what Key lived for, just like her parents.

It wasn't the first time, nor would it be the last, that the adults would stop their attempts of being more independent and useful. Even so, Felix didn't seem to like her plan anyways. It irked her, as she tried to rouse herself for the morning. They were stuck here in Athanax for now, the keys were gone, and what would they do? "Really." Xi'an cocked her hip and placed a hand there as she glowered out the window. "Well, not like we'll be useful sitting around like lazy monkeys." And what was wrong with her plan anyways? Who would expect four teenagers to barge right up at the mafia's doorstep? Honestly, it was a plan so bold, so crazy, that it would definitely have to work. How could anyone else not see that?

It was still really early in the morning. An amazing idea popped into her head and the little swan bore a fearless smile. Of course, who needed permission? She had wings, she could fly out on her own and meet Madam Magpie all by herself. No one else was as brave as her. No one else was tough like her. Filled with a new vigor, Xi'an creaked the window open and crawled up by the sill, ready to fly back into the city to hunt down her mark. Suddenly she felt a soft hand on her ankle. Firm, but soft all the same. "I may not be always in good state of mind, but I know how to be a mother." There she was, the broken hearted swan who spent years mourning a broken relationship and a man who cast her aside like she was garbage. "Let go of me. I can solve al of our problems!" She could fly out and make all of this better, why did no one believe in her? But as she tried to wrestle free, her mother managed to pull her back in and latch the window shut yet again, the cool breeze no longer rushing through the gap.

Xi'an was still pouting glumly as she met up with the others for the morning meeting as the adults locked themselves in a room to discuss their plan. Fox was the exception of course, lounging with the children in the dining room of the airship to make sure they did not go out and do something the adults didn't like. The little swan's hands still stung from her mother's slaps. Luckily she wore gloves to hide the red, but it was still embarrassing. The usually hectic morning breakfasts was a lot quieter now with so many having their special secret meeting. "What are you pouting about, beautiful lady?" Felix snickered, shooting an eye at Xi'an as he speared a sausage with his fork. "The fact you're still eyeing me even now, perhaps!" Xi'an shot back, their usual energy still intact as usual.

Levi was there too, but he seemed strange. After kissing her hand and no doubt having a similar greeting with Key, Levi was eating and observing them as they interacted. "Don't worry. We'll show the adults that they can count on us too." Felix said with a cheerful grin, tail wagging. He seemed so sure of himself, it made Xi'an's own hidden wolf tail sway. "Fox is here listening, you know." She rolled her eyes. "He won't let us do anything today either." She casually leaned over and stole a carrot from Key's plate, patting her on the head as she chewed it, as she ran out of carrots herself.

Key sat alone at the breakfast table. She was staring into her porridge, picking at bits of meat. "Morning," Levi sauntered up. He sat across from her, his expression unreadable. Key didn't like that, she enjoyed predictability. This man, this boy... Key couldn't tell what he was thinking and that irked her. "I slept like a baby, this ship is so comfortable." He stretched his arms above his head, Key eyeing him. "What is it?" He asked, leaning forward with a strange expression. Key's tail stiffened. "N-nothing!" She squeaked, looking away. Key scratched her cheek before picking up her spoon and stirring her rice porridge. Felix arrived next, sitting next to Key. "Morning," he nodded, digging straight into his breakfast. "Morning," Key replied, the three of them falling silent.

Xi'an arrived last, as per usual. She sat across from Key, stealing one of her carrots. "Hey!" Key pouted, Levi laughing. "Here," Felix gave Key one of his carrots. "You can have mine," he turned to glance at Xi'an. "What did you do?" He had noticed her palms, which were an unusual red color. Key glanced down, noticing it as well. "I guess we're not going to get a chance today either," as the adults shuffled out, Fox remained to watch them. They didn't want the kids getting up to anything funny. "I can distract him," Key said quietly. "And then you guys can make a run for it," Key would be the best candidate for distraction, since Fox cared about her the most. "No, we can't leave you behind." Felix insisted, indignant.

"I'll just hold everyone back anyway. If you guys can get the key, then you can show the adults that we're not useless." Key insisted, "Xixi, you can fly, so you'll be the fastest." Key turned to Levi, a bit hesitant. "You better keep them safe," Levi saluted. "On my life," Fox rose, coming over to where they were sitting. "What are you four planning?" He asked, tails curiously perked upwards. "Nothing Papa," Key replied. "We were just talking about-uh oh." Key went pale, "Uh oh?" Fox echoed. "I don't feel good," she started making gagging sounds. Fox blanched, grabbing her by the shoulders. "Not in the dining room young lady. You three stay here, I'll be right back. Come on Kiki, the bathroom," he guided her gently as Key continued to make gagging noises, as though she was holding it back.

In the bathroom, Key made fake wretching sounds, spilling porridge into the toilet as Fox stood awkwardly by the door. Key took as long as she thought the others would need to make a break for it, Fox eventually coming over to rub her back. "Feeling better?" Key nodded, feigning tears. "Alright, let's go get you some water. I wonder what upset your stomach," she rose from the bathroom floor. "Maybe breakfast?" Her tail hung between her legs, not giving away her performance. Fox opened the door to the dining room, Key having her fingers crossed behind her back, hoping they had gotten away.

If there was one thing Xi'an was good at, it was sneaking. She was of the crafty sort, blessed with angelic features that led others to believe she was never up to anything rotten. Even now, as they fled through the streets of one of the largest airships in the world while giggling like fiends, no one batted an eye. "She really took the bullet for us," Felix's tail wagged rapdily back and forth. Levi frowned, "I didn't think Key was that type." He pondred, while Xi'an and Felix stared at him. "That's because you don't know our Kiki," Xi'an grinned. "So, what do we do now?" Levi asked as they slowed, the three of them looking around to make certain they didn't run into anyone from the ship. "We just have to find Madame Magpie," Xi'an placed her hands over her heart. "To make sure Key's sacrifice wasn't in vein," Felix nodded, feigning tears. "Fox is definitely going to kill her," the two of them suddenly burst out laughing. "So, which way do we go?" Levi asked, trailing after them.

"I'm not sure," Xi'an admitted. Felix shrugged, "We can always just walk until we encounter one of her ravens?" He suggested, Xi'an leading the pack. "That's an idea," Levi nodded in agreement. "I can-" Felix grabbed Xi'an by the shoulder. "No, absolutely not. You're going to stay here, alright? We can't have you running off again and getting lost." Xi'an pouted, crossing her arms. "Fine," she huffed, her feathers ruffled. "It would be faster if I could just fly there though," Xi'an looked around, narrowing her eyes. "Hey, aren't those Magpie's goons?" Xi'an hooked a thumb in the direction of two men dressed in black, both with an embroided pair of wings on the backs of their jackets. "Yeah, there were a bunch of people sitting in the audience with jackets like those," Levi recalled.

"We'll follow them then," Xi'an strode after them, qucikly ducking behind a pile of trash when they turned around. She was so clever, she thought, Felix and Levi following behind her. They crept down an ally, hot pipes occasionally blowing boiling air, the three of them managing to stay hidden in the steam. Xi'an tugged at the collar of her cape, she had dressed too warmly for this "Who's there!" Someone called out, the three of them freezing in their tracks. "We can hear you!" Xi'an suddenly squeaked, taking a step back. Felix grabbed her arm, preventing her from touching a hot pipe. "Run!" The three of them turned tail, "I knew this was a bad idea!" Felix yelled. "They're in front of us!" Levi pointed out, the three of them surrounded. "Well, well, it looks like it's a group of kids. Should we rough 'em up?" One of them asked, punching his palm.

"Hang on, we just got lost-" Xi'an waved her hands in front of her, trying to make them realize that this was all a misunderstanding. "I don't think so." One of them leaned down, sniffing her hair. "Don't touch those kids!" Someone suddenly fell from the sky, landing right on top of him. "Felt!" Felix yelped, the rabbit raising her fists. "You three, get out of here! Wait, where's Key?" Felt dodged an incoming punch, giving a round house kick. "You heard her, let's go!" Felix picked Xi'an up, throwing her over his shoulder. The two boys ran as she kicked and squealed, punching his back. "Put me down you brute!" Her wings flapped, hitting him in the face. "You're too slow!" Felix spit out a feather. He placed Xi'an back down on her feet now that they were in the clear. "Maybe Pandora was right," Levi suggested softly. "Maybe we should leave this to the adults? If Felt hadn't been there, who knows what would have happened."

"Ugh, it hurts." Xi'an panted, bending over. She had run right into one of the steaming pipes, burning her arm. "Hang on," Levi ripped a piece of cloth off of his coat and soaked it in water, wrapping it around Xi'an's arm. "Thanks," she panted, wincing. "Let's get back to the ship," Felix suggested, Xi'an and Levi nodding in agreement. The three of them began the trek back to the ship, the city beginning to wind down as the sun set. It would get cold quickly, the sky ships always became frigid once the sun went down. "Hang on you three!" A man in a black coat approached them, Xi'an froze, craddling her arm. "What do you want?" Felix asked, wary. Levi stepped in front of them. "Can we help you, officer?" Levi asked, "Where are your guardians? You shouldn't be on the streets without them." He asked, crossing his arms, his voice gravely.

"We were just on our way back home," Levi said quickly. "We work for the Cirque, so we were just wandering the city until show time." The man gave them a long, hard, stare. After a tense moment, he nodded. "Alright, off you go then. Make sure you abide by the laws next time, no wandering past sun down without a permit. These are dangerous streets at night," he waved them off. Felix and Xi'an breathed a sigh of relief. "That was amazing Levi," Felix slapped him on the back, the three of them continuing back to the ship. "What do you think would have happened if he didn't let us go?" Xi'an mused, they were nearing the bridge now. "Nothing good, I imagine," Levi replied. Pandora and Fox were waiting for them, the two of them looking cross. Key was standing sheepishly behind them, her tail hanging between her legs.

"You three are in so much trouble. Do you have any idea how worried your Mother was, Xi'an?" Xi'an shook her head, wincing as she held her arm. "What's wrong?" Pandora's motherly instinct kicked in, she swooped Xi'an up, unwrapping the wound gently. "Come on, let's get you to the med bay. You two," she pointed to Felix and Levi, "go get ready. We'll dole out your punishment after the show. Levi, you'll be collecting tickets tonight," Levi nodded, following Felix inside. "Xi'an, are you okay?" Key asked, worriedly reaching out for her. "Go get ready," Pandora nudged her daughter aside. "I'll take care of Xi'an, you need to be preapred for the show." Key looked at her feet, "I'll be okay," Xi'an assured her, patting her head. Key was always so cute, Xi'an thought. She would do anything to protect that smile. Key looked as though she wanted to say something, but instead, turned tail and went to get ready.

"There, how does that feel?" Pandora asked, holding Xi'an's arm up to the light. "Better," Xi'an admitted. It was wrapped in aloe and bandages. She would be able to cover it easily with her dress. "Your Mother is worried about you, you should go to her." Xi'an looked away bitterly. Pandora placed both hands on Xi'an's shoulders, looking her in the eyes. "Your Mother means well, Xi'an. She loves you, even if you don't always think so." Xi'an pulled away, shaking her head. "I should go get ready," she rose, hugging her arm against her chest. She could still feel the sting on her cheek this morning from the slap her Mother had delivered. Did she always mean well? Xi'an wasn't sure. She did know that her Mother was a broken woman and broken people couldn't always align their actions with their thoughts.

Why did Key have this strange feeling as she watched Xi'an walk away with Pandora? Why did she feel as though she was being left behind? "Xixi?" Key's tail fell as her friend was led to the first aid room in order to bandage her arm. "Key, come on, we have a show to prepare for." Felt said, guiding her away from the door. Levi and Felix had already been taken away, the two of them on ticket and clean up duty for their scandal. "What's wrong?" Felt asked as they sat in the dressing room, Argent putting makeup on. "I just feel... left out sometimes." Key replied, even though she had urged them to escape on their own. "Well, that's ridiculous. You know Xi'an and Felix would jump off the ship for you," Felt grinned, tilting Key's chin up. "Besides, staying out of trouble is something to be proud of. You're a good girl Kiki," Felt pat her head. "Now, get ready, or your mother will have our necks." Key nodded, turning back to her mirror.

She put on her leotard and put her hair into pigtails, wondering if Xi'an would be backstage soon. Outside, the crowd had begun to gather, it was time for them to take their places. "Everyone, ten minutes!" Fox yelled, they could hear him through the curtain. Key slipped her shoes on, tying them up around her ankles so that they wouldn't slip. "Let's do this," Felt clapped her on the back. Argent rose, Key would remain backstage until it was her act, the last act. "Break a leg," she looked for Felix, who was sitting on a stack of crates, looking glum. "Ticket duty is the worst," he groaned, perking up immediately when he saw her. "Fox wasn't too angry, was he?"

Key shook her head, "No, but he made me clean the whole dining room," Felix blanched. "That's unfair! We were the ones that busted out." Key giggled, "it's fine. I didn't mind," Levi suddenly walked up behind them, wearing a uniform that was two sizes too big. Key giggled upon seeing him, Levi scratching the back of his head. "Have either of you seen Xi'an?" She asked, looking backstage. "Not since we got back, but I did hear her Mother screaming her brains out." Key went pale, wondering if she should have gone out instead of Xixi. "Hey guys," Xi'an startled them, the three of them jumping. Her grin was mischveious, she yanked Key's tail, Key squeaking, which made Pandora shush them. "What was that for?" Key asked, rubbing her behind. "Payback," Xi'an replied, crossing her arms.

"Kids, get ready!" Pandora called, they needed to take their places. "Hey, I'll be watching from out there." Levi waved, exiting the curtains and going to take a seat. Key crossed her arms. "Do you still not like him?" Felix asked, Key's expression changing, becoming softer. "It's not that I don't like him... I just never asked for a partner." Felix nodded his head. "I can see what you mean. If Fox suddenly said that they had gotten another fire eater, I would probably be mad too." Felix rose, he needed to go get ready. "Break a leg," Key waved. She went to help Pandora fix her corset, tying it in the back for her Mother. "Break a leg," Pandora kissed her on the top of the head, then strode out from the curtains with Fox, their hands connected.
