Stolen Innocence [Karim Ali]

Personality

Karim is a sweet and affectionate boy, though he can also be shy and skittish. He doesn't really speak unless he's spoken to, and he's quiet spoken, too. He doesn't share very much about his past, either.

For some reason, he thinks he's a monster, especially when he does something that's wrong or bad. Whenever he does something bad, he'll often ask later if he's a wicked person, since he feels like he is.

He's skittish for the fact that he gets nervous if he speaks before he's been spoken to, or if he interrupts someone then realizes he has he shies away and quickly apologizes, hanging his head submissively.

The kid instinctively flinches when a hand is raised. Say someone is sitting beside him and raises their hand, making gestures as they talk. He flinches and/or ducks his head as if he'd afraid that he's doing to get hit.

Karim sometimes talks about his older brother, but he says he doesn't remember much about him, so he doesn't talk about him very often. And, for some reason, he almost never talks about his dad. He loves to talk about his mother, though.

     Karim sometimes mentions that he deserves to die because he's such a wicked monster. But when he's asked why, he seems to lose his voice and go silent. Sometimes he has an emotional meltdown and just starts sobbing uncontrollably despite his best efforts to not cry.

Karim sometimes cries a lot, and oftentimes, no one even knows the reason as to why he's crying. He doesn't really ever tell anyone why he's crying.

     He isn't a confident person, he doesn't really believe that he's very important, and he believes that the world would be better off without a demon monster like him.

     Even when someone else is the clear enemy, he tries to make them look like they're doing something because of what they believe, even if it's someone who's against him. He'll make it sound like they're trying to do the right thing, as if he's a disease that needs to be eradicated from the world.

     He believes everyone else deserves the best, and he agrees everyone is important. However, he doesn't feel the same way about himself, and it seems near impossible to convince him of it.

     He isn't a very optimistic person at all when it comes to himself or the future of the world or humanity. But he has moments of optimism when it comes to other people.

     He doesn't understand how a person could be so optimistic, nor does he understand how some manage to still have hope.

He often worries and stresses— unfortunately, sometimes to the point he ends up puking. Sometimes he excessively urinates— he's a mess sometimes, and he feels bad for being such a bundle of nerves.

     When he starts getting more comfortable around certain people, he starts talking more, especially when he realizes that he's not going to get hit for talking without being addressed first.

When he's comfortable around people, he's much more talkative, sometimes he talks a little too much. Then he'll be talking about his past but cuts himself off and falls silent again.

     He loves laughing. So whenever someone makes him laugh, he will laugh, and he's done laughing, he feels much happier. He's also someone who enjoys being close to a specific person, liking to cuddle.

He doesn't like to sleep alone, but he will if he's told he has to. When he sleeps alone, he sleeps in his closet or under his bed because he doesn't feel safe in his bed.
