Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })KNI风E or Knite is a webcomic on DeviantArt by Yuumei. Set in China, the story follows a curious group known as the Knites, who fly kites with lights attached to them into the night sky from tall buildings to give a semblance starlight to the smog filled Chinese city below, from which the protagonist, Sen, is a member of. The story begins on a morning when another boy, Kai, unexpectedly shows up to "thank" Sen, but things are not as they seem... The characters are realistic yet deeply flawed and the story explores important themes relevant today. Coupled with the artist's skill, it is a beautiful and poignant story.It can be read on the dedicated DeviantArt account. Though intended to have 8-10 chapters, it was unfinished until 2016, when Yuumei announced she would be making a Darker and Edgier reboot of the comic, with the characters older and a more mature story. The reboot can be read here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Age Lift: Sen, Kai, and their peers are teenagers in the reboot, and their designs are updated to reflect this. In the original comic, they were middle schoolers.

Bilingual Bonus: The rather odd "t" in "Knite" is actually the chinese character 风, which means "wind" If you understand Chinese, Kai's name (sometimes present on the shirt he wears as the character 开) means "open" and Sen's name (生, which can be seen on the back of his shirt instead) means "birth"

Children Are Innocent: Min-Min is defined as Kai's sweet little sister who is undeserving of her current fate of being ill and possibly dying.

Animal Motifs: So far Kai has been associated with a squirrel, Min-Min a bunny, and Sen a swallow.

Beware the Nice Ones: Kai presents himself as cheerful and friendly, but can be scathing when provoked.
