[crispysnake]

nobody asked but I'm talking about it anyways here is some ramble about Keyleths work in me modern au :P

She studied Ecology in university (where Percy was also there studying mechanical and system engineering, Grog for a wrestling scholarship, and Pike for allopathic med, but that can be a different post tehe) cause she loves delving into little ecosystems and learning about how everything has its purpose and use, everything is essential and it's a whole little world, later on, she often refers to VM as her own little ecosystem. But afterwards, she becomes a Conservation Biologist!

I think Vilya was incredibly passionate about protecting the environment and endangered species, Zephrah is a small community in the middle of nowhere and first hand watched their land get taken and forests get chopped down for urbanizing, roads, and cities etc, so Keyleth grew up watching her mother be very active in their community and vocal about how important their environment is and how it needs to be protected.

This loops back around to Keyleth pursuing Conservation Biology and being the very eco-friendly girl she is, as mentioned before in my hobbies post! She loves working outside, she loves working with a whole bunch of different critters and plants and ecosystems and learning how to care for and protect them. I think that does mean she travels quite a bit,( which was one of the reasons she was hesitant about starting things with Vax) usually just a few hours out of town but in a similar sense to her aramente she has had to make a few more extensive trips for work.

It's just very very important to her and she puts an immense amount of focus and effort into her job, she can easily pull out 5 fun facts about the Golden Mantella frog and its ideal environment. or crouch down next to a tree and ramble for 5 minutes about how this particular ecosystem is cool because it has Funaria moss as its primary producer and how it also means there was most likely a wildfire in the area recently. Other then being a constant fountain of information and awe, I think she's fought to try and make a difference in their community or maybe just at least their neighbourhood, rooting for community gardens, composting and planting more trees in the area, it isn't a lot but it's a good start and she hopes to achieve more someday:) she hopes Vilya would be proud of her for the work she's doing.
