Kiko

**Kiko** is an OC by Nylon Orca.

## Appearance

Kiko is a female octoling with the tentatwist hairstyle. She has light pink hair with a tuquioise gradient, but can change it at will. Her eyes are the same color as her hair, and have a darker pink-colored skull pupil in the center. Her skin is slightly brown and is darker than the rest of her friends. Like Nylon, she has a halo, but instead of it being at an angle, it's level directly above her head, black, and dripping with black ink. She wears the jellyvader cap, black squideye shirt, and cyan trainer shoes with light pink thigh socks. Kiko is also the only original version of a character created by Nylon\_Orca who has wings. This is because she is an angel, but not entirely. As she grows older, she becomes more angelic and less like an octoling.

## Personality

Like most octolings, Kiko loves learning and trying new things. However, this is a slight challenge because she gets frightened very easily. She also loves hanging out with her friends Empress and Nylon. She also likes food and posting pictures of it on social media.

## Backstory

Kiko was born among the octoling soldiers and was raised to become part of the engineering team. However, this did not work very well, because she was always getting disctracted and daydreaming about what the surface was like. She had heard so many stories from the other octolings about how wonderful the surface was, and so she decided it was finally time to escape. So, one night, when she was eight years old, she packed her things and made her move. She knew where the exit was, since she had grown up in the camp. The escape itself was hard, since the gate had security systems and guards. So she successfully climbed over the gate. From there, the journey was hard. Kiko had to walk through dark, wet tunnels, but she took the subway most of the way. And so, after a few days of travelling, she finally made it to the surface. At first, she thought this was some kind of dream, but then she finally convinced herself it was real. She immediately bought a home, being prepared of how to care for herself from training in the octoling army. As she got older, Kiko got herself a job and even a small group of friends. She met Nylon one day when Nylon walked into a cafe somewhere wearing a pair of fishnet tights. Kiko was immediately fascinated and bacame friends with her. A few weeks later, Nylon introduced her to Empress and they became a friend group.
