The present-day KEL still retains his happy demeanor but appears more mature and understanding towards others. He is very social and likes talking with strangers when SUNNY is busy with jobs. He constantly tries to help others in need, which could often lead him to making rash choices at times. Regardless, KEL desires to reconnect with his old friends, notably when he encourages SUNNY to be more active and healthy. He even tries to understand AUBREY's reasons for her anger and repeatedly protects BASIL from bullies as well.

REAL WORLD KEL is around 16-17. His voice can be anywhere from medium to low pitched. His enthusiasm should be kept, but to a lesser degree than his younger self.

His HEADSPACE counterpart is KEL.
