Hi, I’m kin with a character who is a complete extrovert and is just overall a loud, fun loving person. I’m fairly introverted and prefer to keep to myself and I’m just generally quiet. Can I be kin with this character even if I’m not like her?

My fiancee is like this. Both of her kinselves (Meenah from Homestuck and Naga from Slayers) were extremely extroverted women, yet, except for in certain circumstances, my fiancee tends to be very shy.

The truth is, we change from life to life, depending on our experiences, and the people around us. You are the same person you were when you were your kinself, at your core. However, you are also different.

Not only do you have all the lingering experience and growth from your kinself, but you also have the experience of yourself in this world. Think of it sort of like an AU of your kinself, raised in your life. Because your circumstances and experiences are different, you’re different.
