#kimie

that’s kimie! she’s a first year student and a character in my wip the horror movie club <3 

the context of the drawing revolves around the fact that her life is shitty. her mom died when she was born, her half-brother is in college and can’t visit often, and her dad is abusive and generally a piece of shit. 

when she first gets to high school she makes it onto the softball team, but her dad makes her quit because she ‘needs’ to be home to do the cleaning and cooking as if he isn’t an adult man who can do it himself. he works as a construction foreman, but he stays late and disappears often. kimie suspects he’s out drinking or has a girlfriend, but knows better than to bring it up.

but he’s actually the leader of a cult dedicated to reviving old and violent gods (the same pantheon that cunning is from). he + some construction workers found the old temple underground while digging out a new pipe system. worse, because he was too obsessed with his cult, he missed both his daughter’s birth and his wife’s death. on that day, one of the gods wakes up briefly, promising that children will be born with the power to raise them fully. 

eventually he puts two and two together and realizes kimie is one of those children. this is about at the same time kimie and her friends have figured out there’s a cult. the old god’s words are vague, but he interprets them as needing to sacrifice the children, and takes kimie down into the temple to kill her. he manages to stab her before she uses her telekinesis to force him away.
