Salida (✰✰✰✰✰✰)

Salida is a character from Gato Lana, a 6\* design (✰✰✰✰✰✰). She is part of the Ocean Observation Squad and is the leader of that squad. She is the thirtieth design of the story. She is 22 years old. [1m76]

### - ***Personality.***

Salida is the kemono who is the leader of the Ocean Observation Squad, the team that takes care of observing the oceans that are next to the desert and the interior of its waters. Salida is the one who checks if the ocean is in good shape, if the sea animals don't have strange behaviors, examines the new discoveries, etc... She also talks to some people outside the Federation about some of the discoveries; even to humans, yes. Salida has nothing against them in particular and even finds them sympathetic: for her, the racism of the humans against the Kemonos will only stop with kindness and pacifism. She prefers to be nice than mean, she prefers to be honest than lie and she prefers to be smiling than sad. She is a cute Kemono who likes to think of good things, but knows the reality of the world they live in. She gets along well with all the Kemonos she meets and everyone likes her. She works a lot, but allows herself long breaks on days when nothing happens. She has loved the ocean since she was a little girl and will never stop: after all, the Water Dragons come from the depths of the ocean... Maybe one day she'll learn more about the disappearance of all the Water Dragons.

Her race is very rare: when Starlight, one of the most important Kemonos in the entire Federation, discovered her existence in a family in the northern desert, Starlight took her by force to the Federation. Salida doesn't blame them, especially since she learned the truth: to make money, her family had wanted to sell her on an illegal slave market that buys mostly female Kemonos. Starlight became her savior... and a bit like her mother. Since she was a little girl, Salida has been interested in the ocean, marine animals; and animals in general, really. She is very curious by nature. She sleeps less than the other Kemonos, since being a Water Dragon, she needs less sleep and less nutrients than the others. Also, water tastes different to her: WONDERFUL.

Salida's best friend is Maxia, a Kemono she met four years ago. She likes to talk to her and learn more about her life, although sometimes she is very embarrassed; even uncomfortable; when Maxia tells her about her relationship with Ambre. She has already seen them kissing and Salida doesn't understand how one can kiss another Kemono with so much... lust. She doesn't judge their relationship, but she has a hard time thinking that one can be like that with another person, even if Salida hopes that one day she will find someone like that... However, since Salida is not someone who is too touchy-feely or doesn't often think about things one does as a couple, she doesn't rush at all.

### - ***Appearance.***

Salida is a Kemono with Water Dragon attributes, one of the few Kemonos to be of such a race. From her skull grow horns made of dragon wood and a long water dragon tail hangs from her back. Scales and fins on it, her dragon tail is a little over a meter long. She has ocean colored eyes and very light blue hair that reaches her breasts. Her Kemono marks are in the form of teeth that are at the corners of her mouth and are a dark blue color that reminds the color of her vest. She wears her Squad cap on her head, a slightly faded red. She has a bow around her neck, attached to a piece of purple-red clothing. Her blue vest is tied with a black anchor and is not tied above. There is fur on the vest and it stops at the elbows. On her right forearm is a piece of armor that protects her entire forearm and stops at the wrist. On her right hand is a gray and blue glove, unlike her other arm which is completely bare. Her body is dressed in a pink jumpsuit and dresses her entire trunk, legs and even her feet. Around her waist and her pelvis is a brown belt and around her waist only another small and thin black belt. She wears blue shoes that are attached with small belts that look like the one she wears around her body. The shoes come from the brand "AOI", a human brand.

### - ***Stars.***

Salida is a 6\* design/character. Her design is really detailed and she is strong, she is also important.

### - ***Importance in the story.***

Salida is an important character for the Kemono Federation and is a quite important character for the Arc 2. She is powerful as well.

### - ***Relationships.***

#### > With Nano:

Salida likes Nano a lot, in spite of her cold air and sometimes her sincerity a little too... violent. She may not understand her as well as Kin or other people, but Salida is sure that Nano is a good Kemono. They talk very rarely, but being the leader of the Protection Team, it happens that they have to discuss some details.

#### > With Panthana:

Salida likes Panthana, but they almost never talk together: Panthana is so busy! She thinks she is very pretty and being a Kemono who comes from a dying species too, she can understand her desire to have a child at this point. She wishes her good luck every day!

#### > With Kin:

Salida doesn't know how Kin can have so much energy every day and can joke about anything with anyone. He's a walking battery and she finds it... impressive! Salida likes him a lot, but sometimes, when she's a little more tired or focused, she's glad she doesn't have him around...

#### > With Myah:

Salida only knows Myah because of work. When the Ocean Observation Squad has to make certain expenditures, they work with her first, so Salida and Myah sometimes talk to each other, but only for work. She finds her very nice, but she wonders how she manages to walk around without panties... ?

#### > With Maxia:

Salida loves Maxia more than anything. The only person who has a bigger place in her heart is Starlight, her "mom". Maxia has been her best friend for as long as she can remember, and Salida doesn't want to be separated from her. She loves talking to her, knowing how she is doing and even though she finds her relationship with Ambre a little special and too "horny" for her, she is happy that she has someone so special to her. She knows the problem with Maxia's Power and so sometimes watches her when she goes to fight, but that's not her job, so she doesn't always get to keep an eye on her... Unfortunately.

#### > With Ambre:

Salida doesn't know Ambre well, but being Maxia's girlfriend, she knows she's a good Kemono: Maxia wouldn't date a Kemono who isn't nice and cute! She thinks it's special, to walk bare-breasted in the Federation, but she doesn't want to judge her: they do what they want.

#### > With Starlight:

Starlight is like Salida's mom and the person she loves the most in the world. Even though she was the one who "kidnapped" her from her real family, when she learned the truth about her parents and was nearly sold, she is happy to have been separated from such Kemonos. She enjoys talking with Starlight and even sparring with her, though it's basically forbidden for Kemonos like Starlight to fight, even if it's friendly. Sometimes Starlight just calls her for a little cuddle.

#### > With Nivea:

Salida finds Nivea impressive and very, very powerful. She has complete confidence in him to defeat any Longer who crosses his path, even though she knows very well that he, too, has a limit. He seems invincible, but he is far from being the most powerful of the Kemonos... She hardly ever speaks to him, but she often wonders what he was like before he came to kill Natalhia...

#### > With Asus:

Salida never minds when Asus wants to know more about the ocean and talking about it to her actually makes her feel pretty good. She doesn't know if she should call her a friend, but maybe she actually is one... Salida doesn't really like her crazy side, but at the same time... She is cute, sometimes. Sometimes, though! Not often!!!

#### > With Gloriae:

Salida has seen Gloriae's power before and she wonders if she could survive a fight against her. The laser coming out of his mouth seems so... powerful. If it were to cross her heart... Farewell.

#### > With Starsky:

Salida greatly appreciates the help Starsky offers her by flying over the ocean when she needs it. Their cooperation brought them closer and in the end, nowadays, they are good friends who can have a good laugh together. Salida has practiced against Starsky before, but she feared for her life after a good ten seconds. Starsky is just... a Goddess.

#### > With Maslow:

Maslow is the Federation Constable, including the most impressive Kemono she knows. Whether it's her physique or the Aura she gives off. Salida respects her with all her heart and does not understand how such a Kemono could see the world. She's so... SO... WOAW.

### - ***Power Element.***

Salida has a *Water* Power. Her Power is in the form of a spear with three spikes, but one of them is destroyed due to an old big fight. Spikes glow based on the energy Salida puts into them and can blast water at full speed towards a target if she is aiming at someone/something with her weapon. She can also attack with the back of her weapon, which is also a spike, but less powerful. If it does not attack from a distance with it (thanks to the water that can come out of it), it can slice with the spikes.
