And here's intro #2! This is Kesi Freeman. His canon which I'm way too excited about is Aaron Burr from Hamilton.
Most important (not by his judgement, but for the note of others) thing about Kesi is that he's Deaf. He lost his hearing at age eleven. He attended residential schools for the Deaf after this point, including Gallaudet in DC, so he's fluent and communicates primarily in ASL. He does still speak and communicate verbally, and he'll read lips when he's out among the hearies. ;) He tries to be pretty laid back about it, all things considered. He's not going to take offense to much.
Kesi is the younger brother of Asha Freeman, and grew up in a military family. There were formative years spent in Florida, Japan, North Carolina, and Texas. He moved to DC for university in 2009, and then moved to Dunhaven after he graduated in 2014. He's just made the commute into the city to work each day, wanting to keep connected to the thriving Deaf community in DC.
He is the After School Programs Director at a Deaf elementary school in DC. He absolutely adores his job.
His roommate is Bridget Grant. They share a rented house here in Dunhaven, though she's only been living there since last summer. If anyone else wants to have lived with him before, that's open!
He does have a sort of super-casual thing with Lyra Rhinehart. Neither of them are really interested in pursuing an actual relationship at the moment, so this agreement works for him.
He knows about his dreams of Burr, and he's probably told his sister, Lyra, and Bridget for sure. Other friends TBD!
Open for all the things! Bingo prompts for my characters are all here.
