### Caipora: The Tribe

The Caipora are daimonic entities native to the Amazon Rainforest. First discovered by the Tupi and Guarani peoples, the word "Caipora" itself comes from the Tupi language and means "Inhabitant of Forest". The daimon tribe enjoyed the name bestowed upon them so much, it became their universal identifier, not only signifying their race and tribe, but also the name for each individual member. Though, there is one notable exception to this naming convention — a male exile of the tribe who calls himself Curupira.

Caipora resemble Native American children at a distance due to their size, They have two-toned skin, with a tree-bark shaded skin tone covering most of their body and a green complexion over the upper half of their face. They often decorate themselves with green tattoos or with tattoos designed as a form of camouflage to better blend into their forest home. Caipora tend to wear little to no clothing but often accessorize with necklaces, flowers, and leaves. Most Caipora have red hair.

Caipora are very mischievous, which child-like temperaments, almost to the point that many occultists tend to think of them as faeries rather than daimons. They are all avid consumers of tobacco and can usually be bribed for safe passage through the forest with offerings of cigars. They tend to become very docile and lethargic while smoking.

As guardian spirits, the Caipora are known to be very vengeful of hunters who do not respect the rules of "fair-play". The Caipora often scare away a hunter's prey, hides animal tracks, lure hunters into traps with animal noises, or use their powers to warp the forest around such hunters making them lose their way in the jungle. Caipora have also been known to actively turn the tables and hunt poachers themselves.

### Caipora: The Individual

The Caipora that now travels in the company of Yara Flor is, like the vast majority of her people, named Caipora. She has long held a fascination with human culture and was something of an outsider among her people — though she enjoyed a great deal of leniency from Ci, the goddess which leads the Caipora tribe. Ci saw the value in having a Caipora familiar with the human world and allowed Caipora to do as she wished, though Ci did also urge her to be cautious.

For many years, Caipora had been the tribe's diplomat to the native tribal peoples of the forest and in more recent years had begun exploring the modern settlements and farms that encroached upon the forest's borders. She even became accustomed to wearing clothes and makeup to disguise herself as a child as she wandered the streets, claiming knick-knacks and curious treasures to take back to her camp.

Caipora's closest relationship is with her peccary familiar which she named Caititu and the two have become quite a pair.

When Yara Flor approached this Caipora to accompany her on her sojourn, Caipora was both eager and anxious to properly venture into the human world at large. She quickly realized she did not know as much as she believed she did, but remained steadfast in her commitment to Yara Flor, becoming her steadfast travel companion, mentor, and fellow adventurer.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Dr\_K-63*) Apparently Menodora and this specific Caipora go back to pre-colonial times. Menodora claims this Caipora befriended her shortly after she came to the forests of Peru and the two became good friends for a time. Caipora was instrumental in convincing Ci and the other Caipora that Menodora was an ally and posed no danger to the forest or their people.
