Almost the same as being a “Synpath” or an “Otherlink”, a “Kinnie” is a person who “Kins” a character (usually fictional). “Kinning” is when you closely relate to a character (in ways such as a characters backstory, personality, looks, or all of the above). A person who kins may identify with the character. “Kinning” a character is not the same as “being kin to” a character.
A person who kins may feel closely related to a character involuntarily, or they may choose to kin characters. In the same way, a kinnie may lose the connection with the character over time or they may choose to stop kinning the character.
Kinnies can have many kins from different movies, anime, video games, books, and more! Most people who kin will put each character in a “Kins List”.
The terms “Kin”, “Kinning”, and “Kinnie” have replaced the term “Synpath” over time, as the variety of words are easier to say in conversation and they have grown more popular.
“Kinsidering” is when a person is getting to know a character to decide if it is a kin or not. “Kinfirmed” is a word used when a kinnie confirms that a new character fits their kins list.
