Kleene Star

Kleene Star is a male unicorn. He works as an adjunct professor of magic at the University of Canterlot, and lives nearby with his best friend Daisy Leaf. His special talent is "unlocking the potential in others", i.e. mind-affecting spells and pedagogy.

Appearance
Kleene has a gray coat, a swept-back black mane, and dark green eyes. His cutie mark is an asterisk, which symbolizes chaos, potential, and growth.

Personality
Kleene's friends know him as a mild-mannered, soft-spoken pony who is happy to help with their work. He is reluctant to use his magic in public, out of fear of scaring his friends. Deep down though, he loves the feeling of power, and wishes that he had more influence over the world in which he lives.

History
Kleene's childhood was rather uneventful. He grew up with loving parents, who enrolled him into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. His teachers recall him as rather weak in magic, though skilled with what he had. When he gained his cutie mark, he didn't notice it until breakfast the next day. He still doesn't know how he got it.

Everything changed when he started college. There, he discovered his talent in mind magic, and fell madly in love with a mare named Starlight (what happened with her is a story for another time).

Creator's notes
Kleene Star was the first character I created. Like with my other characters, he started as just a name, then grew outward from there.
