Natani (Former Younger Sister, Younger Brother)

the doctor said their was nothing she could do but their was a way to save her, that being with magic. Knowing he had no other choice, Zen pleaded with Clovis for help. Clovis said that the only option would be to use magic to bind their souls, a process which would involve Zen sacrificing a small part of his own soul to restore Natani back to consciousness, from that point on Natani and Zen's souls were forever binded. Soon after the soul merge Natani opened up to Zen about her identity troubles (which now took a bigger leap on Natani's gender crisis) for the first time ever, although originally Zen believed these feeling to just be a side effect of the merge, he later realized how long it had been a problem for his sister. From this point on Zen began to treat Natani as less of a brother to conceal Natani's physical identity and more because of how Natani felt, both of them agreed from that point onward the two were truly brothers. Another consequence of the soul merge was the formation of a mental link between the siblings, allowing them to share all thoughts and most feelings with one another and communicate with each other from any distance, although with both time and physical distance the link seems to grow weaker.

The large irony it that due to the forbidden spell that Issac used on Natani also ended his own life, the brother's mission a success. The events of the mission were quick to spread and be exaggerated, though the fact that such an inexperienced pair of young assassins had somehow been able to eliminate such a powerful target earned them a huge reputation. The duo was soon nicknamed by their fellow guild mates as the "The Magi Brothers" and the tale also earned them the respect of many other criminals alike.

For the next few years, Zen and Natani worked under Clovis' Guild performing many criminal activities including anything from theft to other assassinations. At some point Clovis became aware of Natani's true sex but seeing the potential in her female body to infiltrate curtain groups he decided to keep it a secret and allowed him to stay. Although Natani was allowed to stay in the guild he began to face Clovis' sexist views from then on, such as being excluded from important conversations or the receiving the odd sexist remarks.

Despite the Assassin Brother's skill and fierce reputation, this reputation seem to be over-inflated as almost all of the targets they're hired to kill end up dying through indirect means, often by accident or in ways not originally intended by the duo themselves. Somehow, their universal bad luck seems to rub off on others via proxy.

The Dragon Masquerade
Years prior to the main story and six mouths after being mentally linked, Zen and Natani, indebted to Clovis, are prepared to rob a rare crystal from the Dragon Masquerade, an event that is supposed to be a "symbol of solidarity between humans and keidrans", with noble and rich guests alike attending which upsets Natani who calls out the hypocrisy of the event while Zen, being optimistic, . Zen is assigned to go into the Masquerade as a quest and, presumably, pickpocket the rich humans and keidrans attending the party while Natani sneaks herself in disguised as a young Roselyn, who is the barrier for the mask. While at the party, Zen meets Saria au Gruhen, Templar Trace Legacy future wife, but using the alias of "Sean of the distant Forrest wolf tribe" as a cover. Nervous of what to say to her, Saria tell him that he has nothing to worry about as she’s only the blacksmith’s daughter, she also tells him that if there are more open minded people like Zen

Chapter 7
On a mission to assassinate Trace and Flora, Zen tried reasoning with Flora to come back with him and Natani to wolf territory so she can have her arraigned marriage with Sythe, she refuses but Natani puts a sleep spell on her, Natani tell Zen to kill her while she down, though Zen is hesitate about it, Natani tell him that they needs this job and that it not their job to question things, it's their job to kill, Zen acknowledges this and say that he will kill Flora while Natani kills Trace but in reality, Zen was going to let Flora go and tell her to play died and run for it when their done, saying that he may be an assassin, but only is to provide a life for him and Natani and that he can't kill someone like that, too weak to fight back. He goes through the act of "Killing" Flora but he was stabbed by Keith through the chest with a sword, but he later healed after nearly dying. Zen calls Natani brother or bro or Natani

Appearance
Zen appears to be a typical Forest Wolf, covered fully in a coat of brown fur. Like his little sister he has more human like hair onto of his head as a darker shade of brown from his fur. Zen has a pair of plain brown eyes as well.

In terms of clothing Zen is seen throughout his earlier appearances dressed in a grey robe, presumably given to him by his guild, as well as a black cloak on top. After healing from his wounds that he sustained in Chapter 7 he returned on a mission to capture Sythe for his mistaken betrayal of the Forest Wolf tribe, here he is seen to guy wear a black hooded robe without his grey robe beneath. After being ambushed by Sythe's companions and tied up they removed him of his robe to reveal a pair of black trousers beneath, since then he has just remained shirtless in just those since his chest is covered in fur anyways.Zen (IPA(key) /zɛn/) is a male wolf Keidran and a member of the Boarder Forest Tribe. After the death of their parents at a young age he and his younger sister Natani joined a guild of criminals as a means to survive. The Guild did not expect female members however Zen had helped his sister disguise as a male to let them stay together. During a mission to assassinate a powerful Keidran mage known as Issac, Natani was stuck by a spell that fractured her soul, leaving her completely brain dead, at the expense of Issac's own life. Zen partook in a ritual where he gave up part of his own soul to restore his sister's, binding the two's memories and thoughts together forever, and giving them a strange telepathic link.

After more time working under guild the two siblings were sent to assassinate former Grand Templar Trace Legacy, a mission that would leave Zen injured and the two of them separated. Since the soul link was established Natani began to see herself as more male because of Zen's influence, or so Zen thought, when in fact Natani had felt that way for a long time. During their time apart Natani explored his new

Zen is seen in a flashback from Natani, taking place shortly after their parents were killed. Natani is sat crying wondering what they should do when Zen, in a state of grief and sadness, comes over to berate her about being so emotional and that she needs to understand that their mom and dad aren't coming back. Reflecting on her brother's words after the flashback Natani promises not to let emotions get the better of her, this conversation might be one of the main reasons Natani chose to consider changing her gender, as he needed to be strong and that women are only weak.

Zen is then seen briefly later on taking to Natani via their telepathic link, he informs Natani that the wolves have killed the Human king and that the humans are not as strong as they think.

Chapter 10
Zen is seen in another flashback from Natani, after years of living as street urchins, begging for an stealing food, Zen and Natani get desperate for a go meal, so Zen plan to be the breadwinner for both of them by joining the "Brotherhood". Natani, not wanting to be alone beg to come with Zen, but Zen told her if Zen was could, he can't, not he doesn't want to but because the guild doesn't allow girls, knowing well enough what the guild would do if they found out about having a girl in their guild and want to keep her safe. Natani later shaves her hair to the length of Zen's to pass as a boy to join the guild too, with Zen later agreeing to let her come along.

After healing from his wounds for the most part and Natani being a "spy" while she was with Group A, Zen is assigned by his clan to capture Sythe and bring him back alive for questioning or to kill him if he resists to much, due to his perceived betrayal of the Border Wolf Tribe for aiding in Group B's escape from an attack on their town, in exchange for the bounty, he and Natani's name's to be cleared and to have safe passage both to each other and back into wolf territory due to their failure of assassinating Group A.

Chapter 13
Zen is shown tracking down and right on Group B's trail.

Soul Link
Zen and Natani are permanently linked via their souls. With this link, the two were bonded in amazing ways. The two could speak to each other mentally over vast distances with seemingly no limit, even appear corporeally. They can read each others minds and experience the others feelings, physical or emotional. When the two are perfectly in sync, they can really do some damage.Abilities and Powers
Magic
Zen is shown for the most part to not know much about magic as, usually, Natani is the magic user. While trying to capture Sythe, Natani and Zen become one so that Natani can use her magic to cast an illusion spell of an injured Maren to get Red to attack Sythe as a way to get the two "capable fighters" of the group even more against each other so that it would be more easier to get Sythe. After getting captured by the group, they mistakenly believe he solely was the magic user and decided to put the magic inhibiting bracelet on him.

can't kill someone like that, too weak to fight back.

In spite of Zen being an optimistic and lighthearted person, his personality may also hold a bit off a darker meaning as due to all the trauma he suffered and how he was when he and Natani were cut off for a while, it may give the possibility that his lighthearted carefree attitude may be a facade, either as a coping mechanism from all the trauma he and Natani have suffered, as a way to bring a sort of happiness into his and Natani's tragic lives or put it on to make Natani believe that her older brother was capable of taking care of her. In the sketches (some canon) of them as kids seem to portray Zen as the one who used to be shy and sensitive. Maybe a more painful part of their past has been buried by Zen to make Natani believe that their lives before the tragedy where happier than they actually were.

It's ambiguous but there is no hiding that it may be true as losing both of his parents, his life of being an assassin and being Natani's big brother and surrogate parent figure has left an obvious mark on his psyche.In Natani's mindscape, "Young Natani" reveals that because Zen is protective of Natani, the only family he has left, part of him will always see Natani as, again, his "helpless baby sister", which is why Natani was always afraid it was Zen who had made him the way he was.[2] In reality, it was from 'his soul' all along.

Natani is very self-conscious about herself she hates her female gender because she thinks it makes her weak

Personality
Natani is a fiercely strong willed and independent person, but is incredibly sensitive about gender-related topics, and overall holds unhealthy views of how "men" should act (for example, his refusal to accept help from Keith simply because he thinks he's treating him like a weak girl[9]). TBAAppearance
Natani appearance wise is a typical Forest Wolf Keidran, he is covered in brown fur with extra more human placed hair onto of his head. Natani's head hair is more of a darker shade of brown compared to that of his brown fur and this hair trials Downton just below his shoulders. When Natani was younger he used to have a pair of normal brown eyes but after events in his life occurred which cause he and his brother's souls to literally become intertwined his right eye became grey. Natani appears to be above slightly average hight even for a normal male Forest Wolf, being 6'3". As a female physically Natani is definitely much taller than the average female Forest Wolf.

Natani is seen in a few outfits throughout the Main Comics. During his first appears and up until Chapter 16 he is seen dressed in a bluish robe with a black cloak over the top, presumably both given to him by his Guild. Due to his need to hide his female body Natani wears cloth bindings around his breasts and had them enchanted with magic to allow them to be more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Unlike most other Keidran Natani is incredibly uncomfortable being "in the fur" (walking around naked) when not around people he trusts, this is probably due to the fact he has gone much of his life covering himself up he still wishes to hide his female body from others either way. As of Chapter 16 Natani is now seen wearing a green leather jacket and black trousers made for him by Kathrin after

In recent Chapters all of Group A and multiple members of the main cast have become aware of his true gender, this caused Natani to relax covering up as much, however he still wears his old black robe occasionally when around strangers or when it is colder.and Natani doesn't like to be a woman but want to be a male instead

Language
Currently, there is no conlang created to be used as the Keidran language, and the only two words currently revealed (with associated translations) are shown in one scene when Flora attempts to teach Trace some of her language while they are camping in Chapter 3. In the Main Comic, any lines in the Keidran language are written between angle brackets, <like this.>

All Keidran
Each large current Keidran tribe maintains its own monarchy and system of governance independent of the other breeds. The type of society can range between Keidran species however, such as Tiger Keidran having multiple different clans within their territory rather than one united one that Fox Keidran seem to have.
It is alluded that each Keidran Tribe has adopted different philosophies in their interactions with the outside world; the Tiger Tribe for example are said to be quite insular and maintain their distance from both Humans and other Keidran, whereas others such as the Dog, Fox and Wolf Tribes living closer to the border of the Human Empire are more commonly seen, albeit as slaves.
It is unlikely that any formal diplomatic relations exist between Human and Keidran lands, largely due to the Human enslavement of the Keidran, or even between Keidran and Basitin who don't seem to believe in slavery. However in light of the current war raging between the Humans and Border Wolf Tribe over the assassination of King Torval the Humans have attempted to form an temporary allegiance with the Tiger Keidran, though this has proved difficult due to the Wolves' interference.

Physiology
All Keidran are strictly carnivorous. Although they can eat bread and other Human foods, doing so can make them ill. However, beverages seem to be an exception.
As seen in Chapter 5, with the example of this Tiger Keidran girl, Keidran who have experienced a large amount of mental pressure or trauma may retreat into a beast like state, becoming completely "feral" and losing their ability to ever live in even their own Keidran society ever again. With immediate aid and rehabilitation, they can be apparently be returned to normal however, after an period of approximately 24 hours, this "feral" state is irreversible. Also seen within the comics is a controlled version of this feral state that can be triggered voluntarily by a Keidran during combat or to defend themselves, almost like a real beast being cornered. It was mentioned in the non-canon Minikind - The Hunger - that Keidran who are extremely hungry may also enter a feral-like state and even attempt to consume friends of a different race, but this state wears off soon after eating and may not even be canon.
Fox and Tiger Keidran with short faces and seem to lack the whiskers present of their real world feline inspiration.
According to Page 951, Sythe reveals that Keidran (Wolf Keidran at least) have multiple nipples beneath their fur like real world canines and then adds that he does too technically. Whether this statement is true or not is unclear as it is possible Sythe just said this to gross out Red for fun.

males) can lose their ability to rationalize, and suffer instinctual lapses and mood swings which can be problematic in confined spaces. However, they are only fertile the week after this cycle, not during. The estrus of Keidran varies in frequency and intensity, depending on the type of Keidran it effects. While Tiger Keidran experience estrus several times a year, it is typically much lighter than what most Wolves experience. Wolves, on the other hand, only go into estrus twice, usually in the fall and more intensely in the spring. Spring estrus is notorious among all Keidran species.
Keidran do have the ability to use magic, although they need a source of physical Mana Crystals on their person to fuel their spells. Mana Crystals are often used by Humans to heighten their already natural ability of magic use, as for Keidran these are a required item to use magic, though many Keidran do not even know how to use magic in the first place. Due to their need for Mana Crystals Keidran typically do not make for as strong mages as Humans, a common reason many never chose to pursue magic. They can also use black magic, but similarly Humans it likely will prove lethal to the user.
Due to their natural fur covering Keidran have become accustomed to a lack of need for clothing, as a result many free Keidran tend to be far less modest than Humans and frequently go around with little to no clothes on. However, Keidran in slavery or those who grew up with large Human influence are more than happy to wear clothes if they need to, though even then many still do not cover up completely.
