Keith

Keith is a junior guardian. And he is a handful. A walking attitude problem with a big mouth, Keith is good in a fight, so much as he can fight, and will fight, whether or not a fight is the appropriate response.

Personality
Keith has a major problem with authority--even authority he likes. His habit of shooting off his mouth gets him into trouble, often forcing him to fight his way out. Despite his fondness for acting like he hates everyone, Keith actually does enjoy having people to banter with. His polarizing behavior is largely a cover to hide how much he enjoys arguing. A lot of his aggression comes from awkwardness in dealing with people; he's still getting used to having people he can talk to.

In a pinch, Keith is quick to sacrifice himself to protect others, able to work on a team, though quick to claim he didn't need the help. He is exceptionally loyal and protective, and a fairly accomplished babysitter, prioritizing the needs of his charge over his own every time. When in a level mood, he is deeply empathic, showing sympathy and even jumping to the defense of those in need of it. He is not nearly as much of a brat as he plays. It's just easier to stick out his tongue than to openly smile.

Trivia

 * Keith is extremely tsundere. He plays like he doesn't like folks, and the more he likes them, the less he shows it. This often leads to comical results socially.
 * As a white-energy user, Keith is a powerhouse in combat, but his attack-to-defense ratio is way off. Like most powerful young guardians, he tends to overdo it, leaving himself vulnerable. In a fist-fight, he can throw a punch, but taking one is another matter.
 * Keith is subordinate to Sweetheart. She's one of the few people he's reluctant to smart off to, largely because of her motherly attitude towards him, and her willingness to correct his bad behavior.
 * Keith is a bit of a sugar freak, his favorite candies being peanut butter related. He also likes caffeine.
 * Despite his open aggression, he really appreciate support in all its forms, though he's unaccustomed to expressing that appreciation.
 * Half of his defensiveness stems from a fear of being hurt; sometimes, he has trouble parsing what's a joke and what's an attack.
 * Keith and Arius share a love/hate relationship, in so much as they regularly fight and are still openly attracted to one another. Whether they will ever get down to brass tacks is up in the air.
 * One of the only people Keith gets along with is Mitch, largely because Mitch is as chill as humanly possible.
