Since we already have an appreciation poem for every one of the protagonists who gave canon life, we must now show our love for the ones who kept canon alive in the first place, and their representation.
I apologize to the Helpers for the above statement, btw. Thank you for reading this far and supporting us. It has been quite the journey, and I am glad to go on it with you.
Ethereal
Pale figures surrounded her
Hand over heart
"'Kenzie."
Right before her
Dark hair
Dark orbs
Warm smile
Blonde curls
Blue eyes
Glasses
Brown locks
Matching irises
Freckles
She instinctively knew their names
And everyone else's
For they were hers
Some in historical dress
Others in modern garb
For they were the past, the present, the future
The ones who would tell
Tales to come
Not just the works of Joey "Teaseceffa"
Perhaps she was misplaced in time
Or realities where things went differently
A life saved or more, or made worse
She could also feel others' presence
For she did not stand alone
Her friends were at her side
Forged by pages of alternate realities
Hogwarts, Camps
Hope's Peak Academy
Canadian wilderness
World Conference Hall
Labs of zombies
Survival arenas
There were parts where even she
Dared not venture personally
Hidden away in darkness
Where she feared to go and see
A sealed cult meeting server
A locked site of cursed influences
Ideas she was personally too young for
Though canon says otherwise
("My eyes! I did NOT NEED TO SEE THAT, BOSS!")
Piles of history books
Records of myths galore
For she was Escape the Night
As well as so much more
