**Kiko** is a Faurian and a resident in Sunflower Village, Evernos, Fauratopia.

## Appearance

Kiko is a Spring Faurian, with the Light element. He has a tall peach colored body, with hair that shares the same color, mostly permed on his front head. He has orange eyes with white irises.

He wears a red bandana with orange stripes, a brown shirt layered with a light brown vest and a pair of brown gloves. A kit is attached on his right leg, with equipments and items stored in the pockets, such as bulb bombs that he can use with his element.

## History

When Kiko was a child, he was often neglected by his parents for tampering dangerous items in his father's garage, which turned into some kind of hobby by modifying gadgets. Thus, his parents didn't give much support to him. Additionally, his father abused both him and his mother in attempts of getting money to pay for his debts from loan sharks. Since Kiko was young to understand his father's behavior against them, he still decided to help his father from getting hunted down by participating in competitions outside of his hometown, if it's possible.

He received slight support from his mother since she had no choice but to allow him to continue through this path so he could pay his father's debts. Kiko never attended high school due to their family's financial condition being unstable, as he continued down showing his gadget talents to people around Fauratopia.

As years went by, he started to make new friends along his journey. He also joined a club that involves machinery, including his friends Izac, Kelsey, Diandra, Omi and Levi. They once visited a nearby river to test an invention Kelsey made that required water support. However, the river's flow was too strong, thus it damaged the gadget, while wiping out all of them into the deep waters. As they were all children, they were still too young to learn their elements' advantages. All of them lost their way in the river while trying to save each other. Fortunately, a Faurian with wings, managed to save them from drowning, but it was too late to save the rest of them. Swift managed to save Kiko and Kelsey from the river before they arrive at the huge waterfall, while the rest of his friends drowned from the river. Both of them were terrified of what happened, but Kiko was relieved and thankful for Swift's heroic actions of saving them. He realized that the hero was using armor and wing plates to help him adjust his flight balance. Kiko was inspired to turn his silly inventions into items that could assist people from danger.

Kiko went back home, gathering research of Faurians with different elements so he could experiment in one another. His father was arrested by the kingdom a few months later along with the loan sharks for terrorizing a small village, leaving him and his mother behind the household. Fortunately, Kiko didn't have to work hard on paying his father's debts as Queen Helios decided to give them financial support.

After his success into inventing new items for the heroes, Kiko is now a blacksmith. He has his own workshop somewhere in Sunflower Village. He specializes in forging weapons that match their owners according to the element, so they can implement their abilities into the weapon for unique attacks or defenses. He is now pretty well-known for his weapon creations to famous heroes around Fauratopia, including Aria commissioning him to forge an equipment that she could use while encountering sandstorms in Guzi for her mission.

## Personality

Kiko tends to be friendly and playful when he was a child. He risks almost everything in his surroundings just to make his inventions perfect, which makes him a perfectionist. However, he still cares for his family, including his abusive father who manipulated him and his mother into using their money to pay his debts.

Since he doesn't gain any further knowledge when he grows older as he never attended high school, he is still a hardworking child by studying on his own to support his family, while focusing on his goals at the same time.

He's also slightly clumsy when it comes to experimenting, and he messed up a lot of inventions that he never completed.
