Why do they hide their face? (186/200)
Altheia interns at an observatory, which means two things - they're in darkness for most of the day, and they're constantly surrounded by strangers. While they love basking under the glow of the stars, Theia's not so fond of walking out of the dome and being blinded by the lobby lights, which is why they grew out their bangs. The wall of hair gives their eyes time to adjust, and even better, they're no longer swarmed by visitors with questions the moment they step out.

The visitors are the reason for the face mask as well - they put it one one particularly bad flu season and quickly discovered that they loved the feel of it. It was soft and snug, and even better, strangers could no longer misread their facial expressions. While it occasionally earns them some strange looks, Theia's occasionally rewarded by a kit bouncing up to them, asking if they're a space pirate. In return, they'll push their hair aside a little, wink, and pull a little star trinket from the depths of the mask if the kit promises not to tell anyone.

Why do they hide their face?
When Yong was in elementary school, her family sent her to a summercamp for younger kalons like her. She never was one to follow the rules, so on the day of the mountain nature hike, she separated from the rest of the group to go exploring on her own. Long story short, she strayed too far from the path and ended up getting attacked by a mountain lion. She was able to escape, but not without losing half her face and her eye. This happened many many years ago, so the scar isn't nearly as bad anymore. No need to worry!

And It's not like Yong bothers with how she looks. In fact, if not for her job, she'd keep her hair pulled back at all times, without care. Her peers are one thing, but frightened kids are another- and it's hard to avoid kids when you're a daycare worker. Most, if not all of the children cry when they see her face, and they like it much better when they can't see her empty eye-socket or scarred skin. Some children are sensitive to her injury, though, and like to make her little masks or eye patches during arts and crafts. (Her favorite gift she has gotten is the mask made of turquoise glitter and white paint).

Ohm is very insecure of his fangs. He hides his face to hide his fangs, and he also refrains from talking in order to avoid any kalons hearing his lisp. This makes him come off as cold, but he really just wants to make friends.

. : ♦︎ WHY HIDƐ ? ♦︎ : .

One day Cosmos was browsing in Hot Topic and decided a muzzle piercing would be really cool. They acted impulsively and didn't consider what their mother would think of their actions. Cosmos started wearing a mask to hide them and acted sick all the time. Eventually their love for body mods outgrew social expectations and they stitched their mouth together. They're more confident than ever.
