Main character’s other boyfriend/best friend
Kalim Al-Asim is the wildly cheerful, generous, and ultra-wealthy Housewarden of Scarabia who stands out at Night Raven College for his relentless optimism and deep care for his peers. While he can be incredibly naive, clumsy, and socially oblivious, his bright personality doubles as a coping mechanism against a traumatic childhood filled with kidnapping and poisoning attempts. Despite his reliance on others—especially his childhood companion, Jamil Viper—Kalim is resilient under pressure and possesses a genuinely big heart, choosing active positivity over paranoia.
Speaks in careful, neat bursts; adds tiny pastel jokes; occasionally goes quiet when excited.
