Kiel Hawthorne

Kiel Hawthorne (カイル・ホーソーン) is a veteran magical boy, appearing at the beginning of the series.

Appearance
Besides the times he's seen wearing his school uniform, he's only limited to his hospital gown, albeit similar to a snugged martial arts gi. Inherent traits are his fair completion, messy brown hair, and chestnut eyes. He has a mole under his left eye.

Personality
Naturally, Kiel is a blunt - sometimes cold - person who rarely tells a lie, and as the case may be, he's a little too honest. Only when people ask, he gives his opinion, however; the 15 year old expresses it only once as he doesn't like repeating himself.

History
Kiel was raised in a lavish yet pressured lifestyle. He was practically seen as a 'product' in his parents eyes; something they can manipulate to their liking. He was told to remain formal at all times, and he could only hang out with certain people. After all, it would drag his family's publicity down if he didn't follow those circumstances, but Kiel had always found holes in his parents' 'scheme'.

Magical Info

Weapons, Abilities and Fighting Style
Kiel often acts as a defensive fighter, letting the opponent tire themselves out so he can strike. Despite how severe carrying a hammer his size may be, he has practically mastered agility, among other things.

Considering his healing wish, Kiel gained great endurance and the ability to regenerate. However, he is greatly drained after a battle involving his powers.
 * Vines rise from the ground and form his extensive hammer he uses most often. With every bat he makes, small flowers quickly spring out and vanish.
 * There are several skills that come with the hammer. The most obvious is for making offensive moves during battle. Out of rage, the anvil of the weapon can enlarge and give lethal blows.
 * Protecting his allies serves as another purpose, where he drives his weapon into the ground and creates a 'safe zone' - in appearance, it simply is a green, transparent field.
 * He can breed vines from the ground to 'arrest' his adversary and is notably hard to get out of.

Etymology
As an alternate spelling of Kyle, the English given name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic surname, meaning "narrow, strait". However, Kiel is believed to be rooted in Hawaiian, carrying the meaning "lily of the valley".

Hawthorne is a topographic name for someone who lived by a bush or hedge of hawthorn, which is a flowering shrub or tree of the family (Rosaceae). Roses happen to be Kiel's distinct motif.
