Kiko (✰✰✰✰✰✰)

Kiko is a character from Gato Lana, a 6\* design (✰✰✰✰✰✰). She is a member of the Great Sanctuary. She is the forty-second design of the story and the sixth "1st Year Anniv" character. She is 28 years old. [1m79]

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

Kiko is a well-known scientist at the Great Sanctuary and yet she is not a person who knows so many people there: only the most popular or important ones. She is a trans woman who understood what she wanted to become after joining the Sanctuary. She still regrets not having understood before that she didn't feel comfortable as a man. Fortunately, now she can live in the body and sex she always wanted. Even though she is a relaxed and friendly person, telling her about her parents is a very bad idea: after all, it is THEIR fault that she stayed so long as a man. She thanks her friends and the Great Sanctuary itself for managing to open her heart, the same heart she closed a few years before.

Kiko is a scientist who doesn't sleep much; not enough. She does her research ONLY on the Longers, even if she sometimes helps one or another scientist, like Tarka. Many tell her to get more rest, but she can't really get any sleep. Despite all this, she is healthy, but has her moments of depression. She is told over and over again that it is because of fatigue, but Kiko does not accept to sleep if she does not feel the need. Besides, she has to do her research! She wants to know more about the Longers: why do they exist? Can we understand them? How exactly do they work? Why are they all so different, yet they have the same aura? Are there different races? All these questions have theories, but none of them have a clear and precise answer. There is no particular reason why she is interested in these monsters more than anything else: it just is. Maybe it's because they are the unknown for her and humans in general.

Kiko, when she was little, did not like Kemonos at all. She thought they were weird and too "animal" for her. However, she grew up and discovered the Great Sanctuary. That's when she was able to see the world in a bigger way and met Tarka; since then, she realized that her vision of the Kemonos had been completely stupid. Even though she prefers humans anyway, she doesn't insult Kemonos anymore; despite that, she still doesn't like Kizons. For her, it is too much... weird. Even the Longers or the Morris. Even if she does research on the Longers, she can't really like them: they try to destroy everything in their path, after all. If she finds out the truth about them, can she stop this war or help the human race win? She doesn't know, but she hopes she can. If she has to sacrifice some sleep to have a chance to find the answers sooner than expected, then she'd go so far as to pull an all-nighter. She doesn't care. Her own health matters to her, but she doesn't like sleeping that much anyway. So that's fine.

Kiko knows she's known within Great Sanctuary, but she's not the kind of person to talk with everyone. She's so into her own research... It's not that she doesn't like anybody or doesn't want to be talked to, it's that she lives very well alone, just with her research. Even so, sometimes she feels that she needs someone by her side. Not necessarily romantically: just someone to talk to, to listen to, to laugh with. She doesn't think she is good at talking to others, but does it matter? She thinks that as long as she is sincere, she will find people who appreciate her. Plus, the Great Sanctuary is really a nice place, so she's not afraid; or rather, she's not afraid anymore. She's happy to have found a place so... accepting.

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

Kiko is a trans woman with long blue hair (cornflower blue). They are in a mess and reach her shoulders. She wears a mint colored hat with a dark blue solitaire ray on her head, with a pompom at the end of it. Her eyes are green and mauve with white irises. She wears a light blue celestial outfit on her body that reaches to her pelvis and almost covers her small hands. A pink heart attaches the two foam ends that are around her neck while green overalls cover this outfit. It reaches a little higher than her knees and has a pocket on the front. A brown belt is around her waist and on it are a magnifying glass and a bag where she puts more or less what she wants as long as it is small. She sometimes puts food in it. She wears pink tights with purple hearts drawn on them. Her shoes are from "Boo's" and are brown and green with a gold toe. They are the reason why some members of the Great Sanctuary call her "little elf".

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

Kiko is a 6\* design/character. Her design has some details and she has a great mind.

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

Kiko has a certain importance for the Great Sanctuary, but otherwise, she isn't too much important for the overall story.

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

#### > With Bibha:

Kiko appreciates Bibha without always understanding her. She finds her strange, but sometimes friendly; she is also very beautiful and imposing. Kiko sometimes talks with her, but if she needs help, she won't necessarily turn to her.

#### > With Tarka:

Kiko didn't like Tarka at the very beginning, since he is a Kemono with dog attributes. However, she grew to like him and when she saw that he was also a scientist, she came to like him a little more. Over time, they became real friends.

#### > With Donnow:

Kiko is close friends with Donnow; and she feels the same for Kiko. Donnow is the one who helped Kiko understand who she really is: a woman. Of course, she's not the only one who helped him, but she's one of the reasons Kiko can live freely now. Kiko often chats with her when she's at the Great Sanctuary, and she learned to love snakes from her.

#### > With Effuka:

Kiko has a lot of questions about Effuka. She has already seen it several times and yet she wonders who she really is and if she is even human. Kiko presents her research to Effuka when she has something really interesting and Effuka appreciates it immensely.

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

Kiko has a *Water* Power. Her Power allows her to form a lasso made of water that can catch her targets. Unfortunately for Kiko, since she doesn't use it that much, she can miss some targets. She mostly uses it to catch one or the other Longer and then analyze them.

### - ***Adopted?***

Kiko is adopted/won by @KarMa\_Illusion (on Twitter).
