A/N Kelly, my latest OC, tells his story.
Hello, new friends. I'm Kelly and this is my story. I'm someone who's independent, curious about the world, stubborn and get lost in thought. Sometimes, I get hunches and then I focus on my vision for the future, but I'm fond of putting ideas into action. I'm rather quiet, but I tend to be charming and good-natured at times. Though I'm not that emotional, I enjoy giving practical help to friends. I'm not one to cry easily, but I cry very hard when things are dreadfully wrong. Like when an old steam engine who was my friend on my old railway was scrapped. I cried in my shed and asked my driver, " "How come my eyes are watery?". Driver said, taking a cloth from his pocket to dry my tears, "There, there, Kelly. I know you hurt in your heart. Those big tears in your eyes tell me, so go ahead and let it all out. You asked me "How come my eyes are watery?" and that's why. That's tears and they happen when you're very emotional in some way. I'm here for you, to patiently support you and dry your tears. I care about you, Kelly and understand how powerful emotions can be. Emotion overwhelms me, because I'm sensitive, so I've got empathy for those who are having a hard time emotionally. Cry to me and I shall wipe your eyes and help you through the pain.". I said, "I shall miss my friend very much.", as I cried more and Driver said, as he continued to wipe my tears away, "I'm just here to offer empathy and wipe your pain away.". He wiped all my tears from my eyes as best he could, then when I was done crying, he wiped my cheeks and eyes dry of tears. I had a drink and went back to work.
The time came for me to come here. I was put up for sale, replaced by another little diesel. Then, Skarloey Railway bought me and I travelled here with my crew. Though I'm not heartless, very emotional moments from others are hard for me. I just want to quietly, quickly and logically find solutions.
I think I shall like this place, because it's safe for Really Useful Engines. I'll do my best to live up to that. Because I'm a Sodor engine now, it's the thing to do.
