Kipo Oak (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Kipo Minji Oak is a character featured in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series, emigrated from the Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts television series. She is the leader of the Human Mute Ultimate Friendship Alliance.
Kipo is voiced by Karen Fukuhara. In the Japanese dub, she is voiced by Honizumi.
==Physical appearance==
Kipo physically appears as a teenage human girl with pearly purple skin, thin black eyebrows, and pink lavender hair with a spiky fringe tied up in a ponytail with a dark-purple band, and dark fuchsia irises (her jaguar eyes glow fuchsia with night-vision).
While living in the burrow, she wore a typical burrow boilersuit with the golden clover emblem on the back. Once on the surface, she changed her outfit to an off-the-shoulder T-shirt featuring a tiny pale-cyan circle with a fuchsia ring around it on the upper left corner. The shirt is layered over a dark-purple tank-top, and she wears dark-purple jeans and a pair of amaranth high-tops. She accessorizes with lime, cyan, orange, and black bracelets on her right wrist.
As a Mega Mute, Kipo physically appears as a pink jaguar, and as her Full Mega Mute, she's a giant, pink jaguar with six legs, three tails, and a dark magenta fur stripe along her back.
While this article shows her with her appearance from the original television series, in the reboot she is redesigned to be more in line with the Sonic Underground art style.
==History==
Kipo grew up in the burrows under Las Vistas where she was predominantly raised by her father, from whom she learned a great deal about natural sciences, music, and climbing. Kipo grew up underground, with no windows, and went to school with lots of other kids.
She was told that her mother had passed away (from a made-up disease called burrow pox) but really her mother had side effects from Kipo being part mute while pregnant, turning into the Mega Monkey.
One day while Lio and Kipo were climbing, a mega mute attacked their underground burrow. Lio threw Kipo into the canal to save her. He intended to follow his daughter through the canals to the surface but is blocked by the collapse of the tunnels and burrow.
==Powers and abilities==
Kipo's powers were the result of a project of the same name, created by her parents, Song and Lio. The project was meant to combine mute genes with human genetics, thus granting mute abilities to humans with the intention of giving humans a fighting chance to live on the surface if they had mute abilities to protect them.
Nearing her 13th birthday, Kipo notices increasingly strange abilities alongside disturbing physical mutations. After training with the Chevre Sisters, Kipo learns how to better control her mutations. By saying "Herbs in" she can trigger her mutations, mainly her jaguar arms, and retract them by saying "Herbs out". Later, she is able to trigger her mutations without saying herbs in/herbs out.
* Night Vision - Due to having the DNA of a Mute Jaguar she can see very well in dark places and at night.
* Enhanced Smell & Hearing - Her sense of smell and hearing was enhanced due to the DNA of the Mega Jaguar.
* Enhanced Strength, Speed & Durability - Due to having the DNA of a Mega Jaguar, she has both the strength, speed and durability of one.
* Shapeshifting - Kipo can transform into a Mega Jaguar and any of her appendages into those of one including her nose, ears, and canine teeth. This includes adding certain body parts that she, as a human, does not have an equivalent for (example; her tail).
** Jaguar Limbs - She can shapeshift both her arms into a set of jaguar arms for combat.
* Puppet Pheromones Immunity - Due to being part Mega Jaguar, Kipo is immune to Hugo's puppet pheromones, as they only affect primates.
* Cure Immunity - Since it was made from her own DNA, Kipo is immune to the mute cure.
==Trivia==
* All of Kipo's abilities had shown animal-like features (if not just cat).
** However, in Season 2, it is revealed these abilities belonged to a jaguar.
* Kipo was originally named Minji, which is a common name in Korea. In the Sonic Underground reboot, this is her middle name.
* She, along with Wolf, Mandu, and Dave, is the only character to appear in every episode of their series.
* Kipo's mantra for entering and exiting her jaguar form "Herbs in, Herbs out" appears to be similar to "Wax on, Wax off" from the Columbia Pictures film The Karate Kid, and also similar to "Freak out, freak in" from Freakazoid.
* Her name "Kipo" (Κήπο) in Greek translates to the word "garden".
* Kipo is the only human character from the original webcomic to retain her abnormal skin tone.
** It is unknown why no character in the Kipo show has ever questioned this.
