## **Physical Appearance**

### **Human Form**

Kia normally appears as a tall teenage girl with brown skin and purple eyes. She has spiky black hair with purple accents and a short ponytail. Her attire consists of a short-sleeved purple T-shirt underneath a black zip-up biker jacket, navy blue jeans, and black sneakers with white soles. She wears a black Z-ring with a Lycanium Z on her right wrist. She sometimes replaces the Lycanium with an Electrium Z.

### **Zeraora Form**

As a Zeraora, Kia has purple and black fur. The fur is thin and black on her face, neck, lower body, lower legs, and upper arms, while it's thicker and purple everywhere else. Her claws, paw pads, head tuft, and whiskers are white. She has a tail-like bunch of fur extending from between her shoulders.

### **Jaguar Form**

As a Mutant jaguar, Kia has predominantly purple fur with a white underside and solid black spots on her somewhat square head, neck, and tail. Her rosettes, outlined in black, are a slightly lighter shade of purle and have one or more black dots in the centers. She has an unusually long tail for a jaguar, about as long as a cheetah's; this tail has black bands running toward the end and a black tip. Her ears are black with white marks on the backs. She retains some of her Zeraora traits.

### **Titan Form**

As a Titan, Kia is a gargantuan purple jaguar/Zeraora hybrid with eight legs and many more rosettes, which are now a noticeably light shade of purple. Her legs, the inner sides of which are now black, are longer and less stocky than her normal jaguar form, making her more physically fit. She has seven Zeraora tails with black rings/tips and a thick, spiky black mane of fur that projects over her head and runs down the back of her neck before stopping between her first shoulder blades. Her ears are triangular and tipped with long black tufts of fur like a lynx's. Her underbelly has thinner, black fur with large, blotchy, solid white spots. Her head is less square, her muzzle is larger and black-colored, and her paws are purple with black pads and white claws. Her throat and chest are now black. Each of her six forelegs (a combo of a Zeraora's and jaguar's) has two jagged black stripes on the dorsal portion and a white ventral portion. Her two hind legs are black and have larger paws with purple pads.

## **Personality**

Kia is a very upbeat, outgoing, energetic, intelligent, curious, amiable, patient, and confident individual who always puts others' needs above her own. However, she also knows when she needs to take care of herself first and is serious when the situation calls for it. She pays attention to the world around her and has become very knowledgeable about Pokémon as a result. She is also very mature when it comes to her responsibilities and open-minded. She likes to look on the bright side most of the time and is very open and cheerful with everyone she comes across. Kia cares deeply for those close to her and will make personal sacrifices to protect or support them. She will stand up for those being mistreated unfairly and doesn't hesitate to speak her mind. She enjoys interacting with people and becomes lonely at times; however, she later overcomes this and now likes her own company at times as well. She loves having fun, especially with her family and Pokémon. She will sometimes hold a grudge against those who try to or manage to hurt, exploit, or manipulate her or her family and friends; after working with Roxie, however, she soon learns that holding grudges are pointless. She is very compassionate, especially when it comes to others' wellbeing. Her hobbies are playing music, running, playing with her siblings and Pokémon, training her Pokémon, napping, cooking, and watching movies.
