## Description

### Appearance

Taxi is a tabaxi man with reddish brown fur. He has various darker brown markings across his whole body, as well as specifically some stripes across his tail. He is 6'2" and weighs 160 lbs. He is lacking in muscle despite what his official art may suggest, having a strength score of 7.

Taxi's magic is flavored to be green, consistent with the nature-based source of it.

Arc 1: Taxi is seen shirtless with a red sash tied around his waist. It ends in yellow-orange tassels. He wears a pair of brown pants with leg paddings on his calves. He also keeps a small pouch on a necklace tied around his neck, which is later in the show found to contain Elven Pipe Weed (needs citation).

   Arc 2: Taxi gains a short poncho that is green, striped gold and has cherry blossom accenting along the collar and hem. His pants match, being puffy and green with gold patterning. The pants are tied off with dark gray to black wrappings along his legs. He keeps his red sash. He also has a multitude of vines that wrap around both his arms.

### Personality

(notes) struggles with his strength (both physically and mentally) but is very in tune with nature and his sensitive side.

## Background

Taxi was born in Sudai, a continent near Viecta.

Briefly mentioned in Episode 20: The Great Escape, Taxi does not like his father. He mentions in the same episode that his mother has been dead for some time. This is touched upon further in A2 Episode 40: Every Rose Has Its Thorn, when Taxi discusses that his mother was the apothecary for their clan, where he grew up, and his father was drunken often and abusive. When Taxi's mother fell ill, no one was able to tend to her and so she passed, being buried by Taxi under a tree in a clearing. Taxi's father often took his anger out onto Taxi while his mother was ill and after she passed, his father disappeared and never returned.

Taxi later dated a tiefling named Oriana, of which he lost contact with when she went to The Great King's Wharf. He voyaged there in search of her following the disappearance.
