Kevin "K.C." Cardenas



 (Up-to-date as of DISCO 1: September, Part 1)

'''Kevin "K.C." Cardenas''' is a pre-realization Mexican American trans woman and senior at Newcastle County High School in Eidolon DISCO. He is a founding member of the Mystery Solvers' Club. His Eidolon is The Sunshine Band, which can create and control sunshine, fire, and magma.

Appearance
K.C. is a masculine-appearing Mexican American. He is chubby, a little short, and has very curly hair. He tends to wear leather jackets, hoodies, and band shirts. He started growing facial hair when he was around 12, and is increasingly unshaven.

Personality
In large part due to untreated and unrecognized gender dysphoria, K.C. tends to be depressed and aggressive. He cannot stand most people, and stays in the Mystery Solvers' Club as the other members are the only ones he manages to tolerate. His greatest fear is life never getting better.

Pre Season 3
In his freshman year at high school, K.C. joined Haley Holst, Bob McGovern, and Maurice Bailey in founding the Mystery Solvers' Club. In the summer prior to his senior year, the Club rode in Bob's van around the Kentucky/Indiana/Ohio tri-state area to solve mysteries. In one mystery, K.C. 'had to' dress as a woman to act as bait for a weirdo in a ghost outfit stalking women.

Maurice Bailey
K.C. and Maurice Bailey have spent late nights talking about family, future, and feelings, leading him to view Maurice as an 'example of true masculinity'.

Haley Holst
For reasons that K.C. can't quite yet explain, he sees Haley Holst as incredibly lucky and is jealous of her ability to wear cute things.

Bob McGovern
K.C. wishes Bob McGovern hated him. He finds Bob very likable despite his anger towards them, and so wishes that Bob did anything mean that would justify his own feelings.

Gloria Cardenas
Gloria Cardenas is K.C.'s younger sister. When they were younger, K.C. and Gloria used to hold tea parties and dress up. As K.C. aged and was more expected to act like a man, things got more complicated and he grew to miss those times.

K.C.'s Parents
Mr. and Mrs. Cardenas are rich and dote on their son. They continue to spoil him and do not understand why this does not help his depressed state.
