== Biography ==
Ki is a strong-willed young Martian who learned to speak English by watching a '70s sitcom. She spends her time painting elaborate graffiti on the walls of Mars. But she does so in secret. She's forced to hide her artistic side on a planet that is devoid of color and emotion. The Martians are strictly forbidden from expressing any individuality, but Ki thinks for herself—particularly when she decides to help Milo. Talented, sneaky AND tough—Ki just may be the coolest renegade in Martian history.
