Who I Am
Description: Kunzyte is exceptionally frumpy. His feet appear far too large for him. He also has large ears and a long tail. His left ear tip is lame and falls over at the very top. He's on the small side and it's suspected that his growth has been stunted. He is a light shade of black which make his deep black markings stand out. Kunzyte has a few odd traits; albino-pink eyes and magenta markings. [See below for why] The markings are around each eye, tapering as they go back towards the ears. Three small vertical spots on his chest. A large spot on his stomach and from his hips down the top of his tail.
Life Left Behind: Kunzyte was bred from one of Hodari's captured females. He is a 'test tube baby', a genetic experiment. Scientists wanted to know if they could have a melanistic and albino cat in one. They got a melanistic cub with pink eyes, an albino trait. They are unsure what this could to do the rest of his genetics. His mother was then artificially inseminated and she gave birth to a litter of many different genetic mutations, Kunzyte being one of them.
They watched him grow and soon discovered all the previous albino-eyed males had been sterile. Having been all the use to them as he could be, unable to breed as his older counterparts were, they found a new use for the young male. Kunzy would we released into the wild to try and join the peculiar jaguar pride his mother had come from. They spray painted him so that he would stand out to them from a distance. The painted hairs will eventually shed and need repainted but it seemed most logical to them, they would be darting him in the future anyway for check ups.
The day he was release was terrible. A horrific storm had brewed quickly in the area, a mean electrical storm. The scientists prodded him out of the cage and the cub took off at a run. He was alone and scared when the lightning started a brush fire. Kunzy out ran the flames, noticing them on the horizon and just barely making it to a marsh in time. He retains a terrible fear of storms and fire because of that day.
My Understanding: Four words sum him up; openminded, naive, outspoken, and hyper. Kunzyte is a bright, happy-go-lucky type of boy. He is a bit flamboyant and never really has been 'one of the guys'. He has a sweet voice that asks a billion questions without taking a breath, he's very curious, you see. It almost seems like he is trying to beat a world goal with his inquiries. He's upbeat and bouncy. He has a very short attention span and often gets distracted by buggies.
Kunzy is very easy-going, sweet, and friendly, and a bit hyper, too. A bit innocent and somewhat naive. He's very smiley [smiles are one of his absolute favorite things]. He's one of those people who can make friends easily and make just about anyone smiles [if he really wants to]. Kunz is a bit dense. This is not to say he's stupid, only that he doesn't realize things that are perfectly clear quite often. A boy who needs you to scream whatever you are trying to get across in his face [not literally of course]. But careful, he may not be as dense as he seems.
When stuck in a strange position emotionally, Kunz will push aside his feelings and act as nothing happen, much to the dismay of others, to deal with later. This can cause problems if one doesn't understand this about him and so very few actually do. All in all, Kunz is a very good friend, someone who would never betray or backstab another. A very balanced person who tries to take the middle ground in any fight [though often because he can see both sides of such]. Very truthful and very easy to get along with. He seems to live by the rule of 'treat others how you would like to be treated' unless, of course, this person has no intention of treating him nicely. Though there are times that he invades personal space
Likes: Smiles. Nice others. Pretty others. Buggies.
Dislikes: Mean, rude, grouchy others. Those that refuse to smile [oh, those become his personal mission!]. Bush fires. Storms.
