What is what does it mean to kin a character?

Kining a character is a form of identity or connection to a fictional character where individuals feel a deep resonance with the character's personality, experiences, or traits. This feeling can range from a strong sense of admiration to the belief that one is or identifies as the character in some way.

Key aspects of kining include:

• Strong Identification: Feeling deeply connected to a character, seeing aspects of oneself in them.
• Empathy and Understanding: Understanding the character's motivations, feelings, and experiences on a personal level.
• Comfort and Validation: Finding comfort and validation in the character and their story. It is also a way to find comfort.
• Self-Expression: Incorporating elements of the character into one's own self-expression, such as adopting similar mannerisms, aesthetics, or beliefs.

It's important to note that kining is different from simply liking a character. It involves a more profound and personal connection. The level of connection varies greatly.
